Pimasertib belongs to the growing family of mitogen activated protein kinase (MEK1/2) inhibitors undergoing clinical development for various cancer indications. Since the MEK inhibition in several cell signalling transduction cascades within tumours was considered therapeutically beneficial, number of clinical investigations of pimasertib have been reported. Despite being orally bioavailable in cancer patients, pimasertib undergoes faster clearance with a short elimination half-life. In addition, due to occurrence of toxicity, the development of pimasertib appears to be stalled. Case studies are provided on the possible utilization of pimasertib in combination therapies with other approved drugs. Based on the review, it appeared that there was the need to identify the optimal dose and the dosing regimen of pimasertib to provide a balance between safety and efficacy when combined with approved therapies.
