Vemurafenib is a small-molecule inhibitor of the oncogenic BRAF kinase approved for the treatment of melanoma. Here, the scientists involved in the discovery of vemurafenib describe the underlying biology of BRAF, the technology used to identify vemurafenib and its clinical development milestones, along with future prospects based on lessons learned during its development.
