How does COTELLIC work?

How does COTELLIC work?

COTELLIC is a kinase inhibitor known as a MEK inhibitor. MEK is a protein in the body that’s important for cell growth. COTELLIC works by blocking the MEK protein. When the medication blocks MEK, cancer cells can’t grow and spread as well. For people with melanoma with a BRAF mutation, COTELLIC is taken with Zelboraf (vemurafenib). The BRAF protein also helps cells grow, and cells can grow too quickly when there’s a BRAF mutation. By blocking two different proteins, COTELLIC and vemurafenib (Zelboraf) work together to stop the growth and spread of cancer better.
