1. Annotation of FDA Label for dabrafenib and BRAF,HRAS,KRAS,NRAS
Summary
The drug label for dabrafenib (TAFINLAR) states that it is indicated for use in patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma with a BRAF V600E mutation, or in combination with trametinib for patients with the V600K mutation, as detected by an FDA-approved test; the drug is not indicated for treatment of patients with wild-type BRAF melanoma. The label also notes that the drug may promote growth and development of malignancies with activation of RAS.

2. Annotation of FDA Label for dabrafenib and G6PD
Summary
The drug label for dabrafenib (TAFINLAR) states that it is indicated for use in patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma with a BRAF V600E mutation, as detected by an FDA-approved test. The label also notes that patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency have a risk for developing hemolytic anemia, and that these patients should be closely observed when taking dabrafenib.

3. Annotation of EMA Label for dabrafenib and BRAF
Summary
Dabrafenib (Tafinlar) is indicated in adult patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma with a BRAF V600 mutation due to its mechanism of action as an inhibitor of RAF kinases. The EMA European Public Assessment Report (EPAR) states that testing for tumor BRAF V600 mutations is required as efficacy and safety of dabrafenib has not been established in patients with wildtype BRAF.

Disclaimer: The PharmGKB's clinical annotations reflect expert consensus based on clinical evidence and peer-reviewed literature available at the time they are written and are intended only to assist clinicians in decision-making and to identify questions for further research. New evidence may have emerged since the time an annotation was submitted to the PharmGKB. The annotations are limited in scope and are not applicable to interventions or diseases that are not specifically identified.
The annotations do not account for individual variations among patients, and cannot be considered inclusive of all proper methods of care or exclusive of other treatments. It remains the responsibility of the health-care provider to determine the best course of treatment for a patient. Adherence to any guideline is voluntary, with the ultimate determination regarding its application to be made solely by the clinician and the patient. PharmGKB assumes no responsibility for any injury or damage to persons or property arising out of or related to any use of the PharmGKB clinical annotations, or for any errors or omissions.
The table below contains information about pharmacogenomic variants on PharmGKB. Please follow the link in the "Variant" column for more information about a particular variant. Each link in the "Variant" column leads to the corresponding PharmGKB Variant Page.
