Ralimetinib (LY2228820) is a small molecule experimental cancer drug in development by Eli Lilly. Although originally thought to be a p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitor,[1] it has since been reported that it acts instead as an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor.[2]
A phase II trial for treatment of ovarian cancer has completed.[3][4]
