Project description:BRAFV600-mutated colorectal cancer (CRC) accounts for 8% to 12% of all CRC diagnoses. These tumors are often associated with specific patient features, including right-sided primary tumor location, peritoneal and non-regional lymph node involvement, and poor prognosis. In approximately 30% of cases, a simultaneous mismatch repair deficient (dMMR)/microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) phenotype is identified. The prognostic impact of the BRAF mutation appears to be less marked in patients with MSI-H CRC than in patients with microsatellite stable (MSS) tumor. The treatment of BRAFV600-mutated CRC is still a challenge for the clinicians, mainly due to the poor survival outcomes obtained with traditional chemotherapy regimens. In recent years, two novel treatment strategies have offered remarkable changes in the treatment of this specific patient subgroup. The first approach has included targeted therapies directed against BRAF and MEK, with support from the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) blockade. The second approach has included immunotherapeutic agents that have been shown to be particularly promising for patients with simultaneous dMMR/MSI-H phenotype. Here we review the clinical trials that specifically enrolled patients with BRAF-mutated CRC, from the phase I/II studies to the phase III trial BEACON CRC. We also examine the future directions towards a molecularly guided therapy for patients with BRAF-mutated CRC and the crucial role of a molecularly and clinically based algorithm in order to offer the best choice of treatment for these patients.

Project description:The FOLFOXIRI regimen (irinotecan, oxaliplatin, fluorouracil [5-FU] and folinic acid [FA]) increased the response rate and overall survival compared to FOLFIRI in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Adding cetuximab to FOLFOX or FOLFIRI increased efficacy in patients with k-ras wild type mCRC. We explored the dose limiting toxicity and feasibility of the combination cetuximab, irinotecan, oxaliplatin, 5-FU and FA in mCRC patients.In a dose-escalation study patients with previously untreated mCRC and a WHO performance status 0-1 received cetuximab (500 mg/m2, 2 h), followed by irinotecan (95, 125, and 165 mg/m2 in the dose levels [DL] 1, 2, and 3 respectively), followed by oxaliplatin (85 mg/m2, 2 h) which was given parallel to FA (400 mg/m2, 2 h) and followed by 5-FU (3200 mg/m2, 46 h) in an outpatient setting every two weeks. The primary endpoints were the maximum tolerable dose and the safety. The trial was approved by the local ethics committee.From 2007 to 2008, twenty patients were treated in this trial. In the first dose level (irinotecan 95 mg/m2) one patient developed neutropenia grade 4. One patient experienced diarrhoea grade 3 as DLT in dose level 2 (irinotecan 125 mg/m2). In dose level 3 (irinotecan 165 mg/m2), three patients experienced a DLT (diarrhoea grade 3 and two patients with neutropenia grade 4). Thus, the recommended dose for a phase II trial is 125 mg/m2 irinotecan in combination with oxaliplatin, 5-FU/FA and cetuximab. Most common grade ?3 toxicities were neutropenia (40%), diarrhoea (25%) and acne-like rash (15%). No therapy associated death occurred.The confirmed overall response rate in all cohorts was 75% (95%-CI 51-91%). The best response was reached after a median of 3.0 (95%-CI 2.2 to 3.7) months. Median progression free survival (PFS) is 16 (95%-CI 12.6-19.4) months, overall survival (OS) 33 (95%-CI 26.2-39.8) months.The combination of cetuximab and FOLFOXIRIis feasible and has an acceptable toxicity profile in patients with a good performance status. The observed clinical activity with a confirmed response rate of 75% is promising and further evaluated in the ongoing CELIM2.http://www.clinicaltrials.gov: NCT00422773.

Project description:B-type RAF (BRAF)-V600E mutations in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) have been described in up to 12% of the patients. This mutation confers a bad prognostic and poor response with standard chemotherapy. Unlike the scenario for BRAF mutant melanoma, successful BRAF blockade in mCRC has emerged as a complex path, primarily due to the complex underlying biology of mCRC. The BEACON trial has reshaped the therapeutic landscape of BRAF mCRC demonstrating the benefit of the BRAF inhibitor encorafenib in combination with the anti-epidermal growth factor receptor cetuximab. This paper aims to review the main features of BRAF mCRC as well as to review the development of targeted therapy and biomarkers in this specific population. Finally, a deep insight into the underlying biology and molecular classification of BRAF-V600E mCRC has also been performed. The words 'BRAF-V600E mutation', 'colorectal cancer', 'BRAF inhibitors', 'consensus molecular subtypes', 'encorafenib', and 'cetuximab' were used to identify the clinical trials from phase I to phase III related to the development of BRAF inhibitors in this population. A deep search among international meetings (American Society of Clinical Oncology and European Society of Medical Oncology) has been performed to incorporate the last trials presented. BRAF-V600E mCRC is a challenging disease, mostly because of its molecular biology. The BEACON trial has been the most important therapeutic change in the last decade. Nevertheless, new information regarding biomarkers or novel combinations including BRAF inhibitors plus immune checkpoint inhibitors are also promising.

Project description:BRAF mutation exists in about 10-12% of colorectal cancer, among which BRAF V600E mutation is the most common type, which is an important biomarker for predicting the prognosis and precise treatment efficacy of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). The prognosis of metastatic colorectal cancer with BRAF V600E mutation is very poor, with OS of about 6-9 months. Previous studies have shown that single anti-BRAF inhibitor are ineffective, while multi-target inhibitions of Ras-Raf -MEK pathway is a possible effective strategy for BRAF V600E-mutant mCRC. Currently, the proven effective regimens include the VIC regimen (Vemurafenib + cetuximab + Irinotecan) and BEACON regimen (Encorafenib+ cetuximab +/- Binimetinib) from the SWOGS1406 study. Furthermore, BRAF inhibitor +MEK inhibitor combined with PD-1 monoclonal antibody has been shown to be an effective strategy in BRAF V600E-mutant malignant melanoma, which promote the study of the regimens for the treatment of BRAF V600E-mutant mCRC. Increasing basic and clinical studies have shown that cetuximab has ADCC effect, induces immunogenic cell death, promotes immune cell infiltration and other immunomodulatory effects, and has a synergistic effect with PD-1 monoclonal antibody in colorectal cancer. Based on those theories, we conducted the phase I study to explore the safety and preliminary efficacy of the regimen of Vemurafenib (BRAFi) plus cetuximab (EGFRi) combined with PD-1 monoclonal antibody in BRAF V600E-mutant /MSS type mCRC.

Project description:The accumulation of mutations in cancer driver genes such as tumor suppressors or pro-to-oncogenes affects cellular homeostasis. Disturbances in the mechanism controlling prolifera-tion causes significant augmentation of cell growth and division due to the loss of sensitivity to the regulatory signals. Nowadays, an increasing number of cases of liver cancer are observed worldwide. Data provided by the International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) have indi-cated many alterations within gene sequences, whose roles in tumor development are not well understood. A comprehensive analysis of liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma-virus associated) samples has identified new and rare mutations in B-Raf proto-oncogene (BRAF) in Japanese HCC patients, as well as BRAF V600E mutations in French HCC patients. However, their function on liver cancer has never been investigated. Here, using tests for functional analysis and next gen-eration sequencing we demonstrate the tumorigenic effect of BRAF V600E on hepatocytes (THLE-2 cell line). Moreover, we identified genes such as BMP6, CXCL11, IL1B, TBX21, RSAD2, MMP10, SERPIND1, which are possibly regulated by BRAF V600E-mediated mitogen-activated protein kinases/extracellular signal-regulated kinases (MAPK/ERK) signaling pathway. Through several functional assays, we demonstrated that BRAF L537M, D594A, and E648G mutations by its own are not pathogenic in liver cancer. The investigation of genome mutations and the de-termination of their impact on cellular processes and functions are crucial to unraveling the mo-lecular mechanisms of liver cancer development.

Project description:BRAF(V600E) is a frequent mutation in colon cancer. We have analysed transcriptional effects of BRAF(V600E) in the intestinal epithelium of transgenic mice that harbour an inducible BRAF(V600E) transgene. Mice used in this experiment were compound transgenic for a stem-cell specific Lgr5-EGFP Reporter and either an inducible TdTomato-2A-BRAF(V600E) transgene or an inducibe TdTomato-luciferase transgene. Transgenes were induced by doxycycline (4mg/ml) treatment provided in a 1% sucrose solution in the drinking water of transgenic mice for 24h. Intestinal crypts were isolated by filtering (70um) following a PBS/EDTA incubation step. Single cell suspensions were made by digestion of crypts in 500ug/ml trypsine and 0.8u/ml DNAseI for approx. 20min at RT. Cell populations for profiling were isolated by FACS, using an Aria SOPR (BD), equipped with a 70um nozzle.

Project description:BackgroundEncorafenib plus cetuximab with or without binimetinib showed increased objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) compared with chemotherapy plus anti-EGFR in previously treated patients with BRAF V600E-mutated (mut) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Although no formal comparison was planned, addition of binimetinib to encorafenib plus cetuximab did not provide significant efficacy advantage.Patients and methodsThis real-life study was aimed at evaluating safety, activity, and efficacy of encorafenib plus cetuximab with or without binimetinib in patients with BRAF V600E-mut mCRC treated at 21 Italian centers within a nominal use program launched in May 2019.ResultsOut of 133 patients included, 97 (73%) received encorafenib plus cetuximab (targeted doublet) and 36 (27%) the same therapy plus binimetinib (targeted triplet). Most patients had Eastern Cooperative Group Performance Status (ECOG-PS) of 0 or 1 (86%), right-sided primary tumor (69%), and synchronous disease (66%). Twenty (15%) tumors were DNA mismatch repair deficiency (dMMR)/microsatellite instability (MSI)-high. As many as 44 (34%) patients had received two or more prior lines of therapy, 122 (92%) were previously exposed to oxaliplatin, and 109 (82%) to anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF). Most frequent adverse events were asthenia (62%) and anti-EGFR-related skin rash (52%). Any grade nausea (P = 0.03), vomiting (P = 0.04), and diarrhea (P = 0.07) were more frequent with the triplet therapy, while melanocytic nevi were less common (P = 0.06). Overall, ORR and disease control rate (DCR) were 23% and 69%, respectively, with numerically higher rates in the triplet group (ORR 31% versus 17%, P = 0.12; DCR 78% versus 65%, P = 0.23). Median PFS and OS were 4.5 and 7.2 months, respectively. Worse ECOG-PS, peritoneal metastases, and more than one prior treatment were independent poor prognostic factors for PFS and OS. Clonality of BRAF mutation measured as adjusted mutant allele fraction in tumor tissue was not associated with clinical outcome.ConclusionsOur real-life data are consistent with those from the BEACON trial in terms of safety, activity, and efficacy. Patients in good general condition and not heavily pretreated are those more likely to derive benefit from the targeted treatment.

Project description:. To provide insight into the molecular nature of clinical responses to B-RAF(V600E) and MKK1/2 inhibition, we used quantitative mass spectrometry to characterize the inhibitor-dependent phosphoproteome of human melanoma cells treated with the B-RAF(V600E) inhibitor PLX4032 (vemurafenib) and the MKK1/2 inhibitor AZD6244 (selumetinib).. In three replicate experiments, we quantified a total of 23,986 phosphosites on 4,722 proteins. This included 1,317 phosphosites that reproducibly decreased in response to at least one inhibitor.
