Named-patient access overview. Mekinist is coordinated by Reserve Meds for international patients via physician-led cross-border sourcing.
Quick orientation
Mekinist (trametinib) is an oral MEK1 and MEK2 kinase inhibitor approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in May 2013, originally as monotherapy for BRAF V600E or V600K mutation-positive unresectable or metastatic melanoma. Subsequent FDA actions extended the label to combination use with dabrafenib (Tafinlar) for BRAF V600-mutant melanoma, BRAF V600E-mutant non-small cell lung cancer, BRAF V600E-mutant anaplastic thyroid cancer, and BRAF V600E-mutant solid tumors (tissue-agnostic) in adult and pediatric patients. The manufacturer is approximately Novartis.
