Excerpt:
Patients were randomized (1:1) to reduced-dose SOx (S1 (Teysuno), 20 mg/m2 orally twice daily and oxaliplatin 100 mg/m2 intravenously on day 1, q3w) or full-dose S1 monotherapy (30 mg/m2 orally twice-daily on days 1–14, q3w)....Kaplan-Meier curve demonstrating overall survival in patients harboring BRAFV600Emutation comparing reduced-dose SOx ± bevacizumab...Reduced-dose combination chemotherapy might be a promising first-line treatment option for vulnerable older patients with mCRC harboring BRAFV600E mutation.

Impact of encorafenib on survival of patients with BRAF V600E -mutant metastatic colorectal cancer in a real-world setting

Published date:
07/11/2023
Excerpt:
Most patients received a palliative doublet chemotherapy with FOLFOX or FOLFIRI in combination with bevacizumab as first line....we recommend the addition of bevacizumab to the first-line chemotherapy backbone based on the results we observed in our patient population. Patients who received a monoclonal antibody had a higher ORR, median PFS and median OS compared to patients treated with chemotherapy only....In conclusion, only a small number of patients with BRAFV600E mutant mCRC in a real-world setting qualify for the guideline recommended intensive first-line chemotherapy with FOLFOXIRI and are rather treated with a doublet chemotherapy in combination with bevacizumab.

FOLFOXIRI Plus Cetuximab or Bevacizumab as First-Line Treatment of BRAFV600E-Mutant Metastatic Colorectal Cancer: The Randomized Phase II FIRE-4.5 (AIO KRK0116) Study

Published date:
06/23/2023
Excerpt:
Importantly, ORR in the cetuximab arm was markedly below the expected 82.5%, while the prespecified ORR of 60% for FOLFOXIRI plus bevacizumab was exceeded….On the contrary, FOLFOXIRI plus bevacizumab led to a significantly longer PFS, higher ORR, and longer OS when compared with the cetuximab arm. Bevacizumab-based chemotherapy, doublet or triplet according to treatment goal and patient tolerability, therefore remains the preferable first-line treatment of patients with BRAFV600E-mutant mCRC.

Real-world first-line treatment of patients with BRAFV600E-mutant metastatic colorectal cancer: the CAPSTAN CRC study

Published date:

Excerpt:
The main first-line treatments were FOLFOX plus bevacizumab (27.1%) and FOLFOXIRI (folinic acid, 5-fluorouracil, oxaliplatin, irinotecan) with/without bevacizumab (27.1%/19.2%)….Across all first-line regimens, progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival were 6.0 [95% confidence interval (CI) 5.3-6.7] months and 12.9 (95% CI 11.6-14.1) months, respectively....This study is, to date, the largest real-world analysis of patients with BRAFV600E-mutant mCRC, providing valuable insights into routine first-line treatment practices for these patients.

Benefit from upfront FOLFOXIRI and bevacizumab in BRAFV600E-mutated metastatic colorectal cancer patients: does primary tumour location matter?

Excerpt:
A significant interaction effect between primary sidedness and treatment intensity was reported in terms of both PFS (p = 0.010) and OS (p = 0.003), with a beneficial effect of the triplet in the right-sided group...Real-life data support the use of FOLFOXIRI ± bevacizumab only in BRAFV600E-mutated mCRC patients with right-sided tumours.

WJOG13219G: Triplet versus doublet in patients with previously untreated BRAF V600E-mutant metastatic colorectal cancer: A multi-institutional real-world data analysis (BRACELET study).

Excerpt:
WJOG13219G was a multicenter, retrospective registry-based study of pts with BRAFV600E-mutant mCRC who received first-line doublet or triplet chemo with/out molecular targeted agents...In the subgroup analysis, pts with right-sided primary tumor in the Triplet group showed favorable trends of PFS (HR, 0.87; 95% CI, 0.65–1.16) and OS (HR, 0.71; 95%CI, 0.50–1.01), whereas pts with left-sided tumor in the Triplet group showed the reverse trends of PFS (HR, 1.17; 95% CI, 0.77–1.78) and OS (HR, 1.68; 95% CI, 0.97–2.91).

Excerpt:
FOLFOXIRI was combined with either bevacizumab (arm A)...Median PFS was significantly longer in arm A vs arm B (8.3 months vs 5.9 months; logrank p = 0.03; HR 1.8)….FOLFOXIRI plus either bevacizumab or cetuximab have comparable efficacy with differential effects according to primary tumor sidedness supporting the heterogeneity of BRAF V600E-mutant subpopulation of mCRC.

Conversion Surgery After Encorafenib Plus Cetuximab for Chemorefractory BRAF V600E-mutated Colorectal Cancer With Para-aortic Lymph Node Metastases

Published date:
06/28/2023
Excerpt:
CONTRADICTING EVIDENCE: A 68-year-old woman was diagnosed with ascending colon cancer and multiple para-aortic lymph node metastases. After primary tumor resection, molecular genetic testing of the primary tumor revealed a BRAF V600E mutation. She was treated with FOLFOXIRI plus bevacizumab as first-line chemotherapy. After disease progression, the regimen was changed to encorafenib plus cetuximab, and the metastatic lesions shrank. She underwent para-aortic lymph node dissection as conversion surgery, and pathology revealed complete response of the lymph nodes. She achieved long-term survival.
