These are brand new: The drugs that you have mentioned are new anticancer drugs which are still experimental, not fda approved for general use. Your doctor(oncologist) has to answer all your questions that you ask before signing up for receiving these drugs. There is not a lot known about them yet. But azd6244 has been tested and found to have some anticancer activity. But more can be found out from your oncologist.
