1. Drug name

1. Generic name: Dabrafenib;

2. Trade name: TAFINLAR®.

2. Indications

1. Single drug or combination with trametinib for the treatment of unresectable or metastatic melanoma with BRAF V600E or V600K mutation-positive melanoma.

2. Combined with trametinib for postoperative adjuvant treatment of BRAFV600E/K mutation-positive melanoma (after lymph node involvement and complete resection).

3. Combined with trametinib to treat BRAFV600E mutation-positive metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

4. Combined with trametinib for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) with BRAFV600E mutation-positive disease.

5. Combined with trametinib to treat BRAFV600E mutation-positive unresectable or metastatic solid tumors in patients 6 years of age and older (requires previous treatment failure and no satisfactory alternative).

6. Combined with trametinib to treat BRAFV600E mutation-positive low-grade glioma (LGG) that requires systemic treatment in patients 1 year old and above.

3. Specifications and properties

Capsule : 75mg

4. Main ingredients

1. Active ingredient:dabrafenibmesylate.

1. Adverse reaction adjustment : Suspend, reduce the dose or permanently discontinue the drug according to the toxicity level (suspension is required for fever, and permanent discontinuation is required for severe skin toxicity).

2. Liver insufficiency : No adjustment is required for mild to moderate, and no clear recommended dose for severe cases.

7. Medication Precautions

1. Risk of new malignant tumors : Regular skin examinations are required during treatment, and symptoms of non-cutaneous malignant tumors are monitored.

2. Risk of bleeding : Combination with trametinib may cause bleeding, so be alert to symptoms of intracranial or gastrointestinal bleeding.

3. Cardiotoxicity : Monitor left ventricular function before and during treatment.

4. Eye problems : See a doctor immediately if vision changes occur.

5. Fever reaction : It is common and may be serious and requires prompt symptomatic treatment.

8. Medication for special groups

1. Pregnant women : can cause fetal damage, effective contraception (non-hormonal) is required until 2 weeks after the last dose.

2. Lactation : Breastfeeding is prohibited within 2 weeks after stopping the drug.

3. Children : Suitable for patients with LGG ≥ 1 year old and solid tumors ≥ 6 years old. The dose needs to be adjusted according to body weight.

9. Adverse reactions

1. Common adverse reactions include: Fever, rash, headache, joint pain, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, etc.

2. Serious adverse reactions may involve:Cardiomyopathy, uveitis, severe skin toxicity, etc.

10. Contraindications

There are no clear contraindications, but it is contraindicated in patients with wild-type BRAF tumors.

11. Drug interactions

1. Strong CYP3A4/CYP2C8 inhibitor (such as ketoconazole) may increase the plasma concentration of dabrafenib.

2. Dabrafenib can reduce the efficacy of CYP3A4/CYP2C9 substrates (such as warfarin), and INR needs to be monitored.

12. Storage method

1. Capsules: Store in the original bottle and place in a dry environment at 20-25°C.

2. Desiccant : The desiccant in the bottle must be retained and do not be discarded.
