The Prognostic Value of Locoregional Interventions for BRAF V600E Metastatic Colorectal Cancer: A Retrospective Cohort Analysis.

ABSTRACT: The prognostic heterogeneity in patients with BRAF V600E metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) remains poorly defined. Real-world data of 93 BRAF V600E mCRC patients from Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center were evaluated using the prognostic factors affecting overall survival (OS). Treatment of metastases served as an independent prognosticator, where curative locoregional interventions (LRIs) were associated with superior clinical outcomes (adjusted hazard ratio (HR): 0.46, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.22-0.98; p = 0.044). The LRIs group showed an improved median OS of 49.4 months versus 18.3 months for the palliative treatments (PTs) group. The median OS of patients with colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) was significantly prolonged after undergoing LRIs (42.4 vs. 23.7 months; HR: 0.11, 95% CI: 0.01-1.22; p = 0.030), and patients in the LRIs plus liver-limited or lung-limited metastasis (LLM) group benefited more than those in the LRIs plus non-LLM group when compared to the PTs group (LLM from LRIs vs. PTs, HR: 0.16, 95% CI: 0.04-0.68; p = 0.006. Non-LLM from LRIs vs. PTs, HR: 0.47, 95% CI: 0.21-1.05; p = 0.074). In conclusion, we confirmed the positive prognostic value of LRIs in BRAF V600E mCRC, particularly in patients with CRLM or LLM.

Project description:BackgroundCombinatorial inhibition of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and BRAF shows remarkable clinical benefits in patients with BRAF V600E-mutant metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). However, the tumor may inevitably develop resistance to the targeted therapy, thereby limiting the response rate and durability. This study aimed to determine the genetic alterations associated with intrinsic and acquired resistance to EGFR/BRAF inhibitors in BRAF V600E-mutant mCRC.MethodsTargeted sequencing of 520 cancer-related genes was performed in tumor tissues and in plasma samples collected from patients with BRAF V600E-mutant mCRC, who were treated with EGFR/BRAF ± MEK inhibitors, before and after the targeted treatment. Clinical benefit was defined as an objective response or a stable disease lasting longer than the median progression-free survival (PFS).ResultsIn all, 25 patients with BRAF V600E-mutant mCRC were included in this study. Those with RNF43 mutations (n = 8) were more likely to achieve clinical benefit from EGFR/BRAF inhibitors than those with wild-type RNF43 (87.5% versus 37.5%, p = 0.034). Genetic alterations in receptor tyrosine kinase genes (n = 6) were associated with worse PFS (p = 0.005). Among the 23 patients whose disease progressed after the EGFR/BRAF-targeted therapy, at least one acquired resistance-related mutation was detected in 12 patients. Acquired mutations were most frequently observed in the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway-related genes (n = 9), including KRAS (G12D and Q61H/R), NRAS (Q61L/R/K and amplification), BRAF (amplification), and MEK1 (K57T). MET amplification and PIK3R1 Q579fs mutation emerged in three patients and one patient, respectively, after disease progression.ConclusionMultiple genetic alterations are associated with clinical benefits and resistance to EGFR/BRAF inhibitors in BRAF V600E-mutant mCRC. Our findings provide novel insights into strategies for overcoming resistance to EGFR/BRAF inhibitors in patients with BRAF V600E-mutant mCRC.
