DescriptionActivation of the Raf-MEK-ERK signalling pathway is known to be implemented in several types of malignancies; thus, mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK) inhibitors such as selumetinib are important tools that can target the problematic overactivity of this pathway.[A193611] Results from clinical trials investigating earlier developed MEK inhibitors were underwhelming.[A193611] However, selumetinib demonstrated impressive efficacy and tolerability in Phase I trials, leading to its continued investigation for the treatment of various types of tumours in Phase II trials.[A193611] Currently, the novel MEK 1 / 2 inhibitor, selumetinib, is approved solely for the treatment of Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1) in a limited age group. NF-1 is considered rare, with an estimated incidence of 1/3000 individuals.[A193608] It is a genetic, autosomal dominant condition resulting from mutations of the NF1 gene, which can lead to various complications, including the development of multiple tumours in the nervous system.[A193533,A193608] Some patients with this disorder develop plexiform neurofibromas (PN); however, this is considered relatively uncommon compared to other variants of NF-1.[A193608] Luckily, the use of selumetinib in patients with NF-1 have shown efficacy in shrinking associated tumours and is linked to other positive clinical outcomes.[A193533] Selumetinib was approved by the FDA on April 10, 2020.[L49991] It was later approved by Health Canada on August 23, 2022.[L49986]
