Pimasertib) (N-[(2S)-2,3-dihydroxypropyl]-3-[(2-fluoro-4-iodophenyl)amino]isonicotinamide hydrochloride; AS703026), a highly selective, potent, ATP non-competitive allosteric inhibitor of MEK1/2. It binds to MEK1/2 in an allosteric site that is distinct from, yet in close proximity to, the ATP binding site. Binding to this allosteric site prevents the activation of MEK1/2. Pimasertib continues to be investigated in patients with NRAS mutant malignant melanoma in a Phase II trial. This drug was discontinued in a combination with SAR245409 for Phase II study in low-grade serous ovarian cancer. This decision was based on the results of a futility analysis, conducted by the IDMC, which indicated that the trial was no longer expected to achieve its objective of showing a meaningful difference between the efficacies of the combination compared with pimasertib alone. The further development of pimasertib in pancreatic cancer was also discontinued, as a Phase II study in this indication did not reach its primary endpoint of prolongation of progression-free survival
