Cobimetinib, sold under the brand name Cotellic, is an anti-cancer medication used in combination with vemurafenib (Zelboraf) alone or with both vemurafenib and atezolizumab (Tecentriq) to treat melanoma.[2][8] Cobimetinib is a MEK inhibitor.[2] Cotellic, Zelboraf, and Tecentriq are all marketed by Genentech.[2][8][9]
The most common side effects include diarrhea, rash, nausea (feeling sick), vomiting, pyrexia (fever), photosensitivity (light sensitivity) reaction, abnormal results for certain liver function tests (increased levels of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase) and abnormal results for an enzyme related to muscle breakdown (creatine phosphokinase).[5]
Cobimetinib was approved for medical use in the United States in November 2015.[10][11]
