Cobimetinib, sold under the brand name Cotellic among others, is a medication used to treat melanoma.[1] Specifically it is used for advanced disease with either BRAF V600E or V600K mutation.[1] It is used together with vemurafenib.[1] Use is not recommended in the United Kingdom.[5] It is taken by mouth.[1]

Common side effects include diarrhea, rash, nausea, fever, sunburns, liver problems, or muscle damage.[2] Other side effects may include bleeding, heart damage, and retinal vein occlusion.[1] Use during pregnancy may harm the baby.[1] It is a MEK inhibitor.[1]

Cobimetinib was approved for medical use in the United States and Europe in 2015.[1][2] In the United Kingdom treatment for 4 weeks costs the NHS about £4,275 as of 2021.[5] This amount in the United States is about 7,300 USD.[6]
