WHAT BRAFTOVI IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Braftovi is an anti-cancer medicine that contains the active substance
encorafenib. Changes
(mutations) in the BRAF gene can produce proteins that cause the
cancer to grow. Braftovi targets
proteins made from this changed BRAF gene.
It is used in combination with another medicine containing binimetinib
to treat adult patients with a
type of skin cancer called melanoma when it has
-
a particular change (mutation) in a gene responsible for producing a
protein called BRAF, and
-
spread to other parts of the body, or cannot be removed by surgery
When Braftovi is used in combination with binimetinib, which targets
another protein that stimulates
cancer cell growth, the combination slows down or stops the growth of
your cancer.
Braftovi is also used in combination with another medicine cetuximab,
to treat adult patients with a
type of large intestine cancer when it has
-
a particular change (mutation) in a gene responsible for producing a
protein called BRAF, and
-
spread to other parts of the body of patients who have been previously
treated with other
anti
