Analysis of resistance to PLX4032


ABSTRACT: We have collected material from a patient who had BrafV600E mutant melanoma that was treated with PLX4032. We have germline DNA from the patient and DNA and RNA from distinct lesions before and after treatment with PLX4032. We would like to exome sequence these samples to gain a snap shot of the mechanisms of resistance that are operative.

The development of targeted inhibitors, like vemurafenib, has greatly improved the clinical outcome of BRAF(V600E) metastatic melanoma. However, resistance to such compounds represents a formidable problem. Using whole-exome sequencing and functional analyses, we have investigated the nature and pleiotropy of vemurafenib resistance in a melanoma patient carrying multiple drug-resistant metastases. Resistance was caused by a plethora of mechanisms, all of which reactivated the MAPK pathway. In ad  ...[more]
