A Retrospective Non Interventional Study on First Line Treatment for Patients With BRAFV600E Mutant Metastatic Colorectal Cancer (mCRC)

ABSTRACT: The presence of a BRAFV600E mutation is considered a marker of poor prognosis in patients with mCRC, and findings from clinical trials have largely remained inconclusive regarding the efficacy of first line treatments for BRAF-mutant mCRC patients. In the absence of targeted/specific treatment for BRAF-mutant mCRC, treatment practices can vary based on local practices and guidelines. There is, therefore, an unmet need to document the current practices for first-line treatment of BRAF-mutant mCRC, and their effectiveness and safety in a real-world setting. This real-world, multicenter non-interventional study (NIS) will describe the treatment patterns, effectiveness and safety of current treatment regimens in BRAFV600E mutant mCRC patients in Europe, with the aim to put the clinical study findings of the ongoing Phase 2, single-arm, open label trial (ANCHOR) into context of the current treatment landscape excluding investigational therapies. Additionally, the NIS output may be used to support future health technology assessment submissions and publications.

Project description:Fifty percent of cutaneous melanomas are driven by activated BRAFV600E, but tumors treated with RAF inhibitors, even when they respond dramatically, rapidly adapt and develop resistance. Thus, there is a pressing need to identify the major mechanisms of intrinsic and adaptive resistance and develop drug combinations that target these resistance mechanisms. In a combinatorial drug screen on a panel of 12 treatment-naïve BRAFV600E mutant melanoma cell lines of varying levels of resistance to MAPK pathway inhibition we identified the combination PLX4720, a targeted inhibitor of mutated BRaf, and lapatinib, an inhibitor of the ERBB family of receptor tyrosine kinases, as synergistically cytotoxic in the subset of cell lines that displayed the most resistance to PLX4720. To identify potential mechanisms of resistance to PLX4720 treatment and synergy with lapatinib treatment we performed a multi-platform functional genomics analysis to profile the genome as well as the transcriptional and proteomic responses of these cell lines to treatment with PLX4720. We found modest levels of resistance correlated with the zygosity of the BRAF V600E allele and RTK mutational status. Layered over base-line resistance was substantial upregulation of many ERBB pathway genes in response to BRaf inhibition, thus generating the vulnerability to combination with lapatinib. The transcriptional responses of ERBB pathway genes are associated with a number of transcription factors, including ETS2 and its associated cofactors that represent a convergent regulatory mechanism conferring synergistic drug susceptibility in the context of diverse mutational landscapes. 12 BRAF mutant melanomas and 4 melanomas with WT BRAF were exposed plx4720 treatment to evaluate their responses after 8 hours of treatment. 5 of the 12 BRAF mutant melanomas responses were also evaluated in response to the treatment of lapatinib alone, masitinib alone, the combination of lapatinib with plx4720, or the combination of masitinib with plx4720. All samples were run in at least triplicate.
