” Ph1 Mosperafenib: A Next-Gen “BRAF Paradox Breaker” Mosperafenib
BRAFi-naive mCRC: ORR 24%, PFS 7.3 mo
Target inhibition: ≥90% pERK inhibition sustained for 18h at 1,200mg TID
Dimer Breaker vs. Monomer Inhibitor:
- High-dose potential without increasing class-specific skin toxicities
- Deeper pERK suppression
- CNS activity via brain penetration
- Meaningful single-agent activity in both BRAFi-naive and exposed patients.”
