  389 | Abstract:
  390 |   This study was designed to examine the aggressive features of BRAF-
  391 |   positive papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) and association with age.We
  392 |   compared the clinicopathologic parameters and BRAF V600E mutation status
  393 |   of 121 elderly (age ≥65 years) PTC patients who underwent thyroidectomy
  394 |   from January 2007 to December 2009 to a consecutive cohort of 98 younger
  395 |   (age <65 years) PTC patients.Younger and elderly PTC patients had
  396 |   similar incidences of BRAF-positive tumors (41% vs. 38%; p = 0.67). The
  397 |   elderly cohort was more likely to have smaller tumors (mean 1.6 vs. 2.1
  398 |   cm; p = 0.001), present with advanced TNM stage (36% vs. 19%; p =
  399 |   0.008), and have persistent/recurrent disease (10% vs. 1%; p = 0.006).
  400 |   BRAF-positive status was associated with PTC that were tall cell variant
  401 |   (p < 0.001), had extrathyroidal extension (p < 0.001), lymph node
  402 |   involvement (p = 0.008), advanced (III/IV) TNM stage (p < 0.001), and
  403 |   disease recurrence (p < 0.001). Except for lymph node involvement, the
  404 |   association between aggressive histology characteristics at presentation
  405 |   and BRAF-positive PTC also was observed within the age-defined cohorts.
  406 |   In short-term follow-up (mean, 18 months), persistent/recurrent PTC was
  407 |   much more likely to occur in patients who were both BRAF-positive and
  408 |   elderly (22%).BRAF mutations are equally present in younger and older
  409 |   patients. Aggressive histology characteristics at presentation are
  410 |   associated with BRAF-positive PTC, irrespective of age. However, the
  411 |   well-established association of BRAF with recurrence is limited to older
  412 |   (age ≥65 years) patients.

  469 | Abstract:
  470 |   Dabrafenib and trametinib were approved for use as monotherapies in
  471 |   BRAF-mutant metastatic melanoma by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
  472 |   (FDA) in 2013, and most recently, their use in combination has received
  473 |   accelerated FDA approval. Both drugs target the mitogen-activated
  474 |   protein kinase (MAPK) pathway: dabrafenib selectively inhibits mutant
  475 |   BRAF that constitutively activates the pathway, and trametinib
  476 |   selectively inhibits MEK1 and MEK2 proteins activated by RAF kinases.
  477 |   The phase III study of dabrafenib in BRAF(V600E) metastatic melanoma
  478 |   reported rapid tumor regression in most patients and a 59% objective
  479 |   RECIST response rate. The median progression-free survival (PFS) and
  480 |   overall survival (OS) were improved compared with dacarbazine.
  481 |   Toxicities were well tolerated and different from those reported for
  482 |   vemurafenib, the first FDA-approved BRAF inhibitor. Efficacy has been
  483 |   demonstrated in other BRAF-mutant genotypes. The phase III study of
  484 |   trametinib in BRAF inhibitor-naïve patients with BRAF(V600E) or
  485 |   BRAF(V600K) also showed benefit with a prolonged median PFS and OS
  486 |   compared with chemotherapy. Trametinib is ineffective in patients who
  487 |   have progressed on BRAF inhibitors. A phase II trial of combined
  488 |   dabrafenib and trametinib demonstrated higher response rates and longer
  489 |   median PFS than dabrafenib monotherapy, with less cutaneous toxicity.
  490 |   Here, we review the clinical development of both drugs as monotherapies
  491 |   and in combination, and discuss their role in the management of BRAF-
  492 |   mutant melanoma.

  558 | Abstract:
  559 |   BRAF mutations are frequent in melanoma but their prognostic
  560 |   significance remains unclear.We sought to further evaluate the
  561 |   prognostic value of BRAF mutations in localized cutaneous melanoma.We
  562 |   undertook an observational retrospective study of 147 patients with
  563 |   localized invasive (stages I and II) cutaneous melanomas to determine
  564 |   the prognostic value of BRAF mutation status.After a median follow-up of
  565 |   48 months, patients with localized melanomas with BRAF-mutant melanomas
  566 |   exhibited poorer disease-free survival than those with BRAF-wt genotype
  567 |   (hazard ratio 2.2, 95% confidence interval 1.1-4.3) even after
  568 |   adjustment for Breslow thickness, tumor ulceration, location, age, sex,
  569 |   and tumor mitotic rate.The retrospective design and the small number of
  570 |   events are limitations.Our findings suggest that reappraisal of clinical
  571 |   treatment approaches for patients with localized melanoma harboring
  572 |   tumors with BRAF mutation might be warranted.

  626 | Abstract:
  627 |   Melanoma is a disease characterized by lesions that activate ERK.
  628 |   Although 70% of cutaneous melanomas harbor activating mutations in the
  629 |   BRAF and NRAS genes, the alterations that drive tumor progression in the
  630 |   remaining 30% are largely undefined. Vemurafenib, a selective inhibitor
  631 |   of RAF kinases, has clinical utility restricted to BRAF-mutant tumors.
  632 |   MEK inhibitors, which have shown clinical activity in NRAS-mutant
  633 |   melanoma, may be effective in other ERK pathway-dependent settings.
  634 |   Here, we investigated a panel of melanoma cell lines wild type for BRAF
  635 |   and NRAS to determine the genetic alteration driving their
  636 |   transformation and their dependence on ERK signaling in order to
  637 |   elucidate a candidate set for MEK inhibitor treatment. A cohort of the
  638 |   BRAF/RAS wild type cell lines with high levels of RAS-GTP had loss of
  639 |   NF1, a RAS GTPase activating protein. In these cell lines, the MEK
  640 |   inhibitor PD0325901 inhibited ERK phosphorylation, but also relieved
  641 |   feedback inhibition of RAS, resulting in induction of pMEK and a rapid
  642 |   rebound in ERK signaling. In contrast, the MEK inhibitor trametinib
  643 |   impaired the adaptive response of cells to ERK inhibition, leading to
  644 |   sustained suppression of ERK signaling and significant antitumor
  645 |   effects. Notably, alterations in NF1 frequently co-occurred with RAS and
  646 |   BRAF alterations in melanoma. In the setting of BRAF(V600E), NF1 loss
  647 |   abrogated negative feedback on RAS activation, resulting in elevated
  648 |   activation of RAS-GTP and resistance to RAF, but not MEK, inhibitors. We
  649 |   conclude that loss of NF1 is common in cutaneous melanoma and is
  650 |   associated with RAS activation, MEK-dependence, and resistance to RAF
  651 |   inhibition.

  721 | Abstract:
  722 |   The aim of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of the
  723 |   BRAF V600E mutation in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and to
  724 |   determine the correlation between this mutation and indicators of poor
  725 |   prognosis and outcome in patients with PTC. The BRAF V600E mutation
  726 |   status was analyzed in 187 tumor samples using the multiplex allele-
  727 |   specific PCR method. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed
  728 |   to investigate the association of the BRAF V600E mutation with clinical
  729 |   features and patient outcome. The sensitivity of the multiplex allele-
  730 |   specific PCR combined with denaturing high-performance liquid
  731 |   chromatography reached ~1%. The BRAF V600E mutation was observed in
  732 |   63.6% (119/187) of tumor tissues, predominantly in PTC specimens, and no
  733 |   BRAF mutation was identified in other benign-type thyroid diseases. The
  734 |   univariate analysis indicated that the BRAF V600E mutation was
  735 |   associated with age, tumor stage and prognosis (P<0.05). In addition,
  736 |   the frequency of the BRAF V600E mutation was significantly different in
  737 |   the central (75.3%) and lateral neck (49.3%) lymph nodes of patients
  738 |   with lymph node metastasis. Multivariate logistic regression analysis
  739 |   showed that the BRAF V600E mutation (HR, 2.471; 95% CI, 1.149-5.312) and
  740 |   lymph node metastasis (HR, 3.003; 95% CI, 1.027-8.771) are independent
  741 |   factors that predict tumor prognosis. Thus, the BRAF V600E mutation is
  742 |   an independent risk factor that may be used to predict thyroid cancer
  743 |   persistence/recurrence.

  802 | Abstract:
  803 |   This study was designed to examine the aggressive features of BRAF-
  804 |   positive papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) and association with age.We
  805 |   compared the clinicopathologic parameters and BRAF V600E mutation status
  806 |   of 121 elderly (age ≥65 years) PTC patients who underwent thyroidectomy
  807 |   from January 2007 to December 2009 to a consecutive cohort of 98 younger
  808 |   (age <65 years) PTC patients.Younger and elderly PTC patients had
  809 |   similar incidences of BRAF-positive tumors (41% vs. 38%; p = 0.67). The
  810 |   elderly cohort was more likely to have smaller tumors (mean 1.6 vs. 2.1
  811 |   cm; p = 0.001), present with advanced TNM stage (36% vs. 19%; p =
  812 |   0.008), and have persistent/recurrent disease (10% vs. 1%; p = 0.006).
  813 |   BRAF-positive status was associated with PTC that were tall cell variant
  814 |   (p < 0.001), had extrathyroidal extension (p < 0.001), lymph node
  815 |   involvement (p = 0.008), advanced (III/IV) TNM stage (p < 0.001), and
  816 |   disease recurrence (p < 0.001). Except for lymph node involvement, the
  817 |   association between aggressive histology characteristics at presentation
  818 |   and BRAF-positive PTC also was observed within the age-defined cohorts.
  819 |   In short-term follow-up (mean, 18 months), persistent/recurrent PTC was
  820 |   much more likely to occur in patients who were both BRAF-positive and
  821 |   elderly (22%).BRAF mutations are equally present in younger and older
  822 |   patients. Aggressive histology characteristics at presentation are
  823 |   associated with BRAF-positive PTC, irrespective of age. However, the
  824 |   well-established association of BRAF with recurrence is limited to older
  825 |   (age ≥65 years) patients.

  963 | Abstract:
  964 |   In multiple myeloma, there has been little progress in the specific
  965 |   therapeutic targeting of oncogenic mutations. Whole-genome sequencing
  966 |   data have recently revealed that a subset of patients carry an
  967 |   activating mutation (V600E) in the BRAF kinase. To uncover the clinical
  968 |   relevance of this mutation in multiple myeloma, we correlated the
  969 |   mutation status in primary tumor samples from 379 patients with myeloma
  970 |   with disease outcome. We found a significantly higher incidence of
  971 |   extramedullary disease and a shorter overall survival in mutation
  972 |   carriers when compared with controls. Most importantly, we report on a
  973 |   patient with confirmed BRAF V600E mutation and relapsed myeloma with
  974 |   extensive extramedullary disease, refractory to all approved therapeutic
  975 |   options, who has rapidly and durably responded to low doses of the
  976 |   mutation-specific BRAF inhibitor vermurafenib. Collectively, we provide
  977 |   evidence for the development of the BRAF V600E mutation in the context
  978 |   of clonal evolution and describe the prognostic and therapeutic
  979 |   relevance of this targetable mutation.

 1034 | Abstract:
 1035 |   The usual paradigm for developing kinase inhibitors in oncology is to
 1036 |   use a high-affinity proof-of-concept inhibitor with acceptable metabolic
 1037 |   properties for key target validation experiments. This approach requires
 1038 |   substantial medicinal chemistry and can be confounded by drug toxicity
 1039 |   and off-target activities of the test molecule. As a better alternative,
 1040 |   we have developed inducible short-hairpin RNA xenograft models to
 1041 |   examine the in vivo efficacy of inhibiting oncogenic BRAF. Our results
 1042 |   show that tumor regression resulting from BRAF suppression is inducible,
 1043 |   reversible, and tightly regulated in these models. Analysis of
 1044 |   regressing tumors showed the primary mechanism of action for BRAF to be
 1045 |   increased tumor cell proliferation and survival. In a metastatic
 1046 |   melanoma model, conditional BRAF suppression slowed systemic tumor
 1047 |   growth as determined by in vivo bioluminescence imaging. Taken together,
 1048 |   gain-of-function BRAF signaling is strongly associated with in vivo
 1049 |   tumorigenicity, confirming BRAF as an important target for small-

 1113 |   The usual paradigm for developing kinase inhibitors in oncology is to
 1114 |   use a high-affinity proof-of-concept inhibitor with acceptable metabolic
 1115 |   properties for key target validation experiments. This approach requires

 1118 |   we have developed inducible short-hairpin RNA xenograft models to

 1120 |   show that tumor regression resulting from BRAF suppression is inducible,

 1191 | Abstract:
 1192 |   Melanoma is a disease characterized by lesions that activate ERK.
 1193 |   Although 70% of cutaneous melanomas harbor activating mutations in the
 1194 |   BRAF and NRAS genes, the alterations that drive tumor progression in the
 1195 |   remaining 30% are largely undefined. Vemurafenib, a selective inhibitor
 1196 |   of RAF kinases, has clinical utility restricted to BRAF-mutant tumors.
 1197 |   MEK inhibitors, which have shown clinical activity in NRAS-mutant
 1198 |   melanoma, may be effective in other ERK pathway-dependent settings.
 1199 |   Here, we investigated a panel of melanoma cell lines wild type for BRAF
 1200 |   and NRAS to determine the genetic alteration driving their
 1201 |   transformation and their dependence on ERK signaling in order to
 1202 |   elucidate a candidate set for MEK inhibitor treatment. A cohort of the
 1203 |   BRAF/RAS wild type cell lines with high levels of RAS-GTP had loss of
 1204 |   NF1, a RAS GTPase activating protein. In these cell lines, the MEK
 1205 |   inhibitor PD0325901 inhibited ERK phosphorylation, but also relieved
 1206 |   feedback inhibition of RAS, resulting in induction of pMEK and a rapid
 1207 |   rebound in ERK signaling. In contrast, the MEK inhibitor trametinib
 1208 |   impaired the adaptive response of cells to ERK inhibition, leading to
 1209 |   sustained suppression of ERK signaling and significant antitumor
 1210 |   effects. Notably, alterations in NF1 frequently co-occurred with RAS and
 1211 |   BRAF alterations in melanoma. In the setting of BRAF(V600E), NF1 loss
 1212 |   abrogated negative feedback on RAS activation, resulting in elevated
 1213 |   activation of RAS-GTP and resistance to RAF, but not MEK, inhibitors. We
 1214 |   conclude that loss of NF1 is common in cutaneous melanoma and is
 1215 |   associated with RAS activation, MEK-dependence, and resistance to RAF
 1216 |   inhibition.

 1289 | Abstract:
 1290 |   The kinase pathway comprising RAS, RAF, mitogen-activated protein kinase
 1291 |   kinase (MEK) and extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK) is
 1292 |   activated in most human tumours, often through gain-of-function
 1293 |   mutations of RAS and RAF family members. Using small-molecule inhibitors
 1294 |   of MEK and an integrated genetic and pharmacologic analysis, we find
 1295 |   that mutation of BRAF is associated with enhanced and selective
 1296 |   sensitivity to MEK inhibition when compared to either 'wild-type' cells
 1297 |   or cells harbouring a RAS mutation. This MEK dependency was observed in
 1298 |   BRAF mutant cells regardless of tissue lineage, and correlated with both
 1299 |   downregulation of cyclin D1 protein expression and the induction of G1
 1300 |   arrest. Pharmacological MEK inhibition completely abrogated tumour
 1301 |   growth in BRAF mutant xenografts, whereas RAS mutant tumours were only
 1302 |   partially inhibited. These data suggest an exquisite dependency on MEK
 1303 |   activity in BRAF mutant tumours, and offer a rational therapeutic
 1304 |   strategy for this genetically defined tumour subtype.

 1443 | Abstract:
 1444 |   The identification of somatic mutations in the gene encoding the serine-
 1445 |   threonine protein kinase B-RAF (BRAF) in the majority of melanomas
 1446 |   offers an opportunity to test oncogene-targeted therapy for this
 1447 |   disease.We conducted a multicenter, phase 1, dose-escalation trial of
 1448 |   PLX4032 (also known as RG7204), an orally available inhibitor of mutated
 1449 |   BRAF, followed by an extension phase involving the maximum dose that
 1450 |   could be administered without adverse effects (the recommended phase 2
 1451 |   dose). Patients received PLX4032 twice daily until they had disease
 1452 |   progression. Pharmacokinetic analysis and tumor-response assessments
 1453 |   were conducted in all patients. In selected patients, tumor biopsy was
 1454 |   performed before and during treatment to validate BRAF inhibition.A
 1455 |   total of 55 patients (49 of whom had melanoma) were enrolled in the
 1456 |   dose-escalation phase, and 32 additional patients with metastatic
 1457 |   melanoma who had BRAF with the V600E mutation were enrolled in the
 1458 |   extension phase. The recommended phase 2 dose was 960 mg twice daily,
 1459 |   with increases in the dose limited by grade 2 or 3 rash, fatigue, and
 1460 |   arthralgia. In the dose-escalation cohort, among the 16 patients with
 1461 |   melanoma whose tumors carried the V600E BRAF mutation and who were
 1462 |   receiving 240 mg or more of PLX4032 twice daily, 10 had a partial
 1463 |   response and 1 had a complete response. Among the 32 patients in the
 1464 |   extension cohort, 24 had a partial response and 2 had a complete
 1465 |   response. The estimated median progression-free survival among all
 1466 |   patients was more than 7 months.Treatment of metastatic melanoma with
 1467 |   PLX4032 in patients with tumors that carry the V600E BRAF mutation
 1468 |   resulted in complete or partial tumor regression in the majority of
 1469 |   patients. (Funded by Plexxikon and Roche Pharmaceuticals.)

 1530 | Abstract:
 1531 |   Oncogenic mutations in the serine/threonine kinase B-RAF (also known as
 1532 |   BRAF) are found in 50-70% of malignant melanomas. Pre-clinical studies
 1533 |   have demonstrated that the B-RAF(V600E) mutation predicts a dependency
 1534 |   on the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signalling cascade in
 1535 |   melanoma-an observation that has been validated by the success of RAF
 1536 |   and MEK inhibitors in clinical trials. However, clinical responses to
 1537 |   targeted anticancer therapeutics are frequently confounded by de novo or
 1538 |   acquired resistance. Identification of resistance mechanisms in a manner
 1539 |   that elucidates alternative 'druggable' targets may inform effective
 1540 |   long-term treatment strategies. Here we expressed ∼600 kinase and
 1541 |   kinase-related open reading frames (ORFs) in parallel to interrogate
 1542 |   resistance to a selective RAF kinase inhibitor. We identified MAP3K8
 1543 |   (the gene encoding COT/Tpl2) as a MAPK pathway agonist that drives
 1544 |   resistance to RAF inhibition in B-RAF(V600E) cell lines. COT activates
 1545 |   ERK primarily through MEK-dependent mechanisms that do not require RAF
 1546 |   signalling. Moreover, COT expression is associated with de novo
 1547 |   resistance in B-RAF(V600E) cultured cell lines and acquired resistance
 1548 |   in melanoma cells and tissue obtained from relapsing patients following
 1549 |   treatment with MEK or RAF inhibitors. We further identify combinatorial
 1550 |   MAPK pathway inhibition or targeting of COT kinase activity as possible
 1551 |   therapeutic strategies for reducing MAPK pathway activation in this
 1552 |   setting. Together, these results provide new insights into resistance
 1553 |   mechanisms involving the MAPK pathway and articulate an integrative
 1554 |   approach through which high-throughput functional screens may inform the
 1555 |   development of novel therapeutic strategies.

 1629 | Abstract:
 1630 |   Disseminated melanoma is highly therapy resistant. The finding that 66%
 1631 |   of melanomas harbor the activating BRAF(V600E) mutation has raised
 1632 |   expectations for targeting the Ras/RAF/mitogen-activated protein
 1633 |   (MAP)/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) kinase (MEK)/ERK
 1634 |   pathway in melanoma. This study addresses the anti-melanoma activity of
 1635 |   the MEK inhibitor AZD6244 (ARRY-142886).We recently have shown that
 1636 |   growing melanoma cells as three-dimensional collagen-implanted spheroids
 1637 |   enhances resistance to the MEK inhibitor U0126. Here, we investigated
 1638 |   the anti-melanoma activity of AZD6244 in two-dimensional cell culture,
 1639 |   the three-dimensional spheroid model, and an in vivo model.In two-
 1640 |   dimensional cell culture, AZD6244 was cytostatic and reduced the growth
 1641 |   of melanoma cells in a concentration-dependent fashion through the
 1642 |   induction of G(1)-phase cell cycle arrest. In our three-dimensional
 1643 |   spheroid model, the effects of AZD6244 were largely cytostatic and
 1644 |   reversible, with drug washout leading to spheroid regrowth. Finally,
 1645 |   1205Lu cells were grown as tumor xenografts in severe combined
 1646 |   immunodeficient mice. After tumor establishment, mice were dosed twice
 1647 |   daily with 0, 10, or 30 mg/kg AZD6244 p.o. AZD6244 treatment decreased
 1648 |   phospho-ERK in the tumors and significantly suppressed tumor growth. The
 1649 |   original tumors remained viable, suggesting that AZD6244 monotherapy was
 1650 |   largely cytostatic, and not proapoptotic in this model. Further studies
 1651 |   showed that co-administration of AZD6244 (30 mg/kg) with docetaxel (15
 1652 |   mg/kg) led to tumor regression, indicating the potential for MEK
 1653 |   inhibitor/chemotherapy drug combinations.Inhibition of MEK is cytostatic
 1654 |   as a monotherapy in melanoma, but cytotoxic when combined with
 1655 |   docetaxel.

 1722 | Abstract:
 1723 |   BRAF V600E mutation is seen in 5% to 8% of patients with metastatic
 1724 |   colorectal cancer (CRC) and is associated with poor prognosis.
 1725 |   Vemurafenib, an oral BRAF V600 inhibitor, has pronounced activity in
 1726 |   patients with metastatic melanoma, but its activity in patients with
 1727 |   BRAF V600E-positive metastatic CRC was unknown.In this multi-
 1728 |   institutional, open-label study, patients with metastatic CRC with BRAF
 1729 |   V600 mutations were recruited to an expansion cohort at the previously
 1730 |   determined maximum-tolerated dose of 960 mg orally twice a day.Twenty-
 1731 |   one patients were enrolled, of whom 20 had received at least one prior
 1732 |   metastatic chemotherapy regimen. Grade 3 toxicities included
 1733 |   keratoacanthomas, rash, fatigue, and arthralgia. Of the 21 patients
 1734 |   treated, one patient had a confirmed partial response (5%; 95% CI, 1% to
 1735 |   24%) and seven other patients had stable disease by RECIST criteria.
 1736 |   Median progression-free survival was 2.1 months. Patterns of concurrent
 1737 |   mutations, microsatellite instability status, CpG island methylation
 1738 |   status, PTEN loss, EGFR expression, and copy number alterations were not
 1739 |   associated with clinical benefit. In contrast to prior expectations,
 1740 |   concurrent KRAS and NRAS mutations were detected at low allele frequency
 1741 |   in a subset of the patients' tumors (median, 0.21% allele frequency) and
 1742 |   were apparent mechanisms of acquired resistance in vemurafenib-sensitive
 1743 |   patient-derived xenograft models.In marked contrast to the results seen
 1744 |   in patients with BRAF V600E-mutant melanoma, single-agent vemurafenib
 1745 |   did not show meaningful clinical activity in patients with BRAF V600E
 1746 |   mutant CRC. Combination strategies are now under development and may be
 1747 |   informed by the presence of intratumor heterogeneity of KRAS and NRAS
 1748 |   mutations.

 1812 | Abstract:
 1813 |   The usual paradigm for developing kinase inhibitors in oncology is to
 1814 |   use a high-affinity proof-of-concept inhibitor with acceptable metabolic
 1815 |   properties for key target validation experiments. This approach requires
 1816 |   substantial medicinal chemistry and can be confounded by drug toxicity
 1817 |   and off-target activities of the test molecule. As a better alternative,
 1818 |   we have developed inducible short-hairpin RNA xenograft models to
 1819 |   examine the in vivo efficacy of inhibiting oncogenic BRAF. Our results
 1820 |   show that tumor regression resulting from BRAF suppression is inducible,
 1821 |   reversible, and tightly regulated in these models. Analysis of
 1822 |   regressing tumors showed the primary mechanism of action for BRAF to be
 1823 |   increased tumor cell proliferation and survival. In a metastatic
 1824 |   melanoma model, conditional BRAF suppression slowed systemic tumor
 1825 |   growth as determined by in vivo bioluminescence imaging. Taken together,
 1826 |   gain-of-function BRAF signaling is strongly associated with in vivo
 1827 |   tumorigenicity, confirming BRAF as an important target for small-
 1828 |   molecule and RNA interference-based therapeutics.

 1892 | Abstract:
 1893 |   Activating B-RAF(V600E) (also known as BRAF) kinase mutations occur in
 1894 |   ∼7% of human malignancies and ∼60% of melanomas. Early clinical
 1895 |   experience with a novel class I RAF-selective inhibitor, PLX4032,
 1896 |   demonstrated an unprecedented 80% anti-tumour response rate among
 1897 |   patients with B-RAF(V600E)-positive melanomas, but acquired drug
 1898 |   resistance frequently develops after initial responses. Hypotheses for
 1899 |   mechanisms of acquired resistance to B-RAF inhibition include secondary
 1900 |   mutations in B-RAF(V600E), MAPK reactivation, and activation of
 1901 |   alternative survival pathways. Here we show that acquired resistance to
 1902 |   PLX4032 develops by mutually exclusive PDGFRβ (also known as PDGFRB)
 1903 |   upregulation or N-RAS (also known as NRAS) mutations but not through
 1904 |   secondary mutations in B-RAF(V600E). We used PLX4032-resistant sub-lines
 1905 |   artificially derived from B-RAF(V600E)-positive melanoma cell lines and
 1906 |   validated key findings in PLX4032-resistant tumours and tumour-matched,
 1907 |   short-term cultures from clinical trial patients. Induction of PDGFRβ
 1908 |   RNA, protein and tyrosine phosphorylation emerged as a dominant feature
 1909 |   of acquired PLX4032 resistance in a subset of melanoma sub-lines,
 1910 |   patient-derived biopsies and short-term cultures. PDGFRβ-upregulated
 1911 |   tumour cells have low activated RAS levels and, when treated with
 1912 |   PLX4032, do not reactivate the MAPK pathway significantly. In another
 1913 |   subset, high levels of activated N-RAS resulting from mutations lead to
 1914 |   significant MAPK pathway reactivation upon PLX4032 treatment. Knockdown
 1915 |   of PDGFRβ or N-RAS reduced growth of the respective PLX4032-resistant
 1916 |   subsets. Overexpression of PDGFRβ or N-RAS(Q61K) conferred PLX4032
 1917 |   resistance to PLX4032-sensitive parental cell lines. Importantly, MAPK
 1918 |   reactivation predicts MEK inhibitor sensitivity. Thus, melanomas escape
 1919 |   B-RAF(V600E) targeting not through secondary B-RAF(V600E) mutations but
 1920 |   via receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK)-mediated activation of alternative
 1921 |   survival pathway(s) or activated RAS-mediated reactivation of the MAPK
 1922 |   pathway, suggesting additional therapeutic strategies.

 1984 | Abstract:
 1985 |   Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a heterogeneous disease with multiple
 1986 |   underlying causative genetic mutations. The B-type Raf proto-oncogene
 1987 |   (BRAF) plays an important role in the mitogen-activated protein kinase
 1988 |   (MAPK) signaling cascade during CRC. The presence of BRAFV600E mutation
 1989 |   can determine the response of a tumor to chemotherapy. However, the
 1990 |   association between the BRAFV600E mutation and the clinicopathological
 1991 |   features of CRC remains controversial. We performed a systematic review
 1992 |   and meta-analysis to estimate the effect of BRAFV600E mutation on the
 1993 |   clinicopathological characteristics of CRC.We identified studies that
 1994 |   examined the effect of BRAFV600E mutation on CRC within the PubMed, ISI
 1995 |   Science Citation Index, and Embase databases. The effect of BRAFV600E on
 1996 |   outcome parameters was estimated by odds ratios (ORs) with 95%
 1997 |   confidence intervals (CIs) for each study using a fixed effects or
 1998 |   random effects model.25 studies with a total of 11,955 CRC patients met
 1999 |   inclusion criteria. The rate of BRAFV600 was 10.8% (1288/11955). The
 2000 |   BRAFV600E mutation in CRC was associated with advanced TNM stage, poor
 2001 |   differentiation, mucinous histology, microsatellite instability (MSI),
 2002 |   CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP). This mutation was also
 2003 |   associated with female gender, older age, proximal colon, and mutL
 2004 |   homolog 1 (MLH1) methylation.This meta-analysis demonstrated that
 2005 |   BRAFV600E mutation was significantly correlated with adverse
 2006 |   pathological features of CRC and distinct clinical characteristics.
 2007 |   These data suggest that BRAFV600E mutation could be used to supplement
 2008 |   standard clinical and pathological staging for the better management of
 2009 |   individual CRC patients, and could be considered as a poor prognostic
 2010 |   marker for CRC.

 2071 | Abstract:
 2072 |   Neuroendocrine tumors comprise a heterogeneous group of malignancies
 2073 |   with a broad spectrum of clinical behavior. Poorly differentiated tumors
 2074 |   follow an aggressive course with limited treatment options, and new
 2075 |   approaches are needed. Oncogenic BRAF V600E (BRAF(V600E)) substitutions
 2076 |   are observed primarily in melanoma, colon cancer, and non-small cell
 2077 |   lung cancer, but have been identified in multiple tumor types. Here, we
 2078 |   describe the first reported recurrent BRAF(V600E) mutations in advanced
 2079 |   high-grade colorectal neuroendocrine tumors and identify a BRAF
 2080 |   alteration frequency of 9% in 108 cases. Among these BRAF alterations,
 2081 |   80% were BRAF(V600E) Dramatic response to BRAF-MEK combination therapy
 2082 |   occurred in two cases of metastatic high-grade rectal neuroendocrine
 2083 |   carcinoma refractory to standard therapy. Urinary BRAF(V600E)
 2084 |   circulating tumor DNA monitoring paralleled disease response. Our series
 2085 |   represents the largest study of genomic profiling in colorectal
 2086 |   neuroendocrine tumors and provides strong evidence that BRAF(V600E) is
 2087 |   an oncogenic driver responsive to BRAF-MEK combination therapy in this
 2088 |   molecular subset.BRAF(V600E) is an established oncogenic driver, but
 2089 |   significant disparities in response exist among tumor types. Two
 2090 |   patients with treatment-refractory high-grade colorectal neuroendocrine
 2091 |   tumors harboring BRAF(V600E) exhibited rapid and durable response to
 2092 |   combined BRAF-MEK inhibition, providing the first clinical evidence of
 2093 |   efficacy in this aggressive tumor type. Cancer Discov; 6(6); 594-600.

 2175 | Abstract:
 2176 |   In the BRIM-3 trial, vemurafenib was associated with risk reduction
 2177 |   versus dacarbazine of both death and progression in patients with
 2178 |   advanced BRAF(V600) mutation-positive melanoma. We present an extended
 2179 |   follow-up analysis of the total population and in the BRAF(V600E) and
 2180 |   BRAF(V600K) mutation subgroups.Patients older than 18 years, with
 2181 |   treatment-naive metastatic melanoma and whose tumour tissue was positive
 2182 |   for BRAF(V600) mutations were eligible. Patients also had to have a life
 2183 |   expectancy of at least 3 months, an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group
 2184 |   (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1, and adequate haematological,
 2185 |   hepatic, and renal function. Patients were randomly assigned by
 2186 |   interactive voice recognition system to receive either vemurafenib (960
 2187 |   mg orally twice daily) or dacarbazine (1000 mg/m(2) of body surface area
 2188 |   intravenously every 3 weeks). Coprimary endpoints were overall survival
 2189 |   and progression-free survival, analysed in the intention-to-treat
 2190 |   population (n=675), with data censored at crossover. A sensitivity
 2191 |   analysis was done. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov,
 2192 |   NCT01006980.675 eligible patients were enrolled from 104 centres in 12
 2193 |   countries between Jan 4, 2010, and Dec 16, 2010. 337 patients were
 2194 |   randomly assigned to receive vemurafenib and 338 to receive dacarbazine.
 2195 |   Median follow-up was 12·5 months (IQR 7·7-16·0) on vemurafenib and 9·5
 2196 |   months (3·1-14·7) on dacarbazine. 83 (25%) of the 338 patients initially
 2197 |   randomly assigned to dacarbazine crossed over from dacarbazine to
 2198 |   vemurafenib. Median overall survival was significantly longer in the
 2199 |   vemurafenib group than in the dacarbazine group (13·6 months [95% CI
 2200 |   12·0-15·2] vs 9·7 months [7·9-12·8]; hazard ratio [HR] 0·70 [95% CI
 2201 |   0·57-0·87]; p=0·0008), as was median progression-free survival (6·9

 2203 |   0·32-0·46]; p<0·0001). For the 598 (91%) patients with BRAF(V600E)
 2204 |   disease, median overall survival in the vemurafenib group was 13·3
 2205 |   months (95% CI 11·9-14·9) compared with 10·0 months (8·0-14·0) in the
 2206 |   dacarbazine group (HR 0·75 [95% CI 0·60-0·93]; p=0·0085); median
 2207 |   progression-free survival was 6·9 months (95% CI 6·2-7·0) and 1·6 months
 2208 |   (1·6-2·1), respectively (HR 0·39 [95% CI 0·33-0·47]; p<0·0001). For the
 2209 |   57 (9%) patients with BRAF(V600K) disease, median overall survival in
 2210 |   the vemurafenib group was 14·5 months (95% CI 11·2-not estimable)
 2211 |   compared with 7·6 months (6·1-16·6) in the dacarbazine group (HR 0·43
 2212 |   [95% CI 0·21-0·90]; p=0·024); median progression-free survival was 5·9
 2213 |   months (95% CI 4·4-9·0) and 1·7 months (1·4-2·9), respectively (HR 0·30
 2214 |   [95% CI 0·16-0·56]; p<0·0001). The most frequent grade 3-4 events were
 2215 |   cutaneous squamous-cell carcinoma (65 [19%] of 337 patients) and
 2216 |   keratoacanthomas (34 [10%]), rash (30 [9%]), and abnormal liver function
 2217 |   tests (38 [11%]) in the vemurafenib group and neutropenia (26 [9%] of
 2218 |   287 patients) in the dacarbazine group. Eight (2%) patients in the
 2219 |   vemurafenib group and seven (2%) in the dacarbazine group had grade 5

 2305 | Abstract:
 2306 |   Approximately 50% of melanomas harbor activating (V600) mutations in the
 2307 |   serine-threonine protein kinase B-RAF (BRAF). The oral BRAF inhibitor
 2308 |   vemurafenib (PLX4032) frequently produced tumor regressions in patients
 2309 |   with BRAF V600-mutant metastatic melanoma in a phase 1 trial and
 2310 |   improved overall survival in a phase 3 trial.We designed a multicenter
 2311 |   phase 2 trial of vemurafenib in patients with previously treated BRAF
 2312 |   V600-mutant metastatic melanoma to investigate the efficacy of
 2313 |   vemurafenib with respect to overall response rate (percentage of treated
 2314 |   patients with a tumor response), duration of response, and overall
 2315 |   survival. The primary end point was the overall response rate as
 2316 |   ascertained by the independent review committee; overall survival was a
 2317 |   secondary end point.A total of 132 patients had a median follow-up of
 2318 |   12.9 months (range, 0.6 to 20.1). The confirmed overall response rate
 2319 |   was 53% (95% confidence interval [CI], 44 to 62; 6% with a complete
 2320 |   response and 47% with a partial response), the median duration of
 2321 |   response was 6.7 months (95% CI, 5.6 to 8.6), and the median
 2322 |   progression-free survival was 6.8 months (95% CI, 5.6 to 8.1). Primary
 2323 |   progression was observed in only 14% of patients. Some patients had a
 2324 |   response after receiving vemurafenib for more than 6 months. The median
 2325 |   overall survival was 15.9 months (95% CI, 11.6 to 18.3). The most common
 2326 |   adverse events were grade 1 or 2 arthralgia, rash, photosensitivity,
 2327 |   fatigue, and alopecia. Cutaneous squamous-cell carcinomas (the majority,
 2328 |   keratoacanthoma type) were diagnosed in 26% of patients.Vemurafenib
 2329 |   induces clinical responses in more than half of patients with previously
 2330 |   treated BRAF V600-mutant metastatic melanoma. In this study with a long
 2331 |   follow-up, the median overall survival was approximately 16 months.

 2402 | Abstract:
 2403 |   We examined the therapeutic potential of a novel MEK inhibitor, RDEA119,
 2404 |   and its synergism with the mTOR inhibitor, temsirolimus, in thyroid
 2405 |   cancer cell lines. RDEA119 potently inhibited the proliferation of the 4
 2406 |   cell lines that harbored BRAF mutation but had no or modest effects on
 2407 |   the other 4 cells that harbored wild-type BRAF (IC(50) of 0.034-0.217 μM
 2408 |   vs. 1.413-34.120 μM). This inhibitory effect of RDEA119 in selected cell
 2409 |   lines OCUT1 (BRAF V600E(+), PIK3CA H1047R(+)) and SW1376 (BRAF V600E(+))
 2410 |   was enhanced by combination with the mTOR inhibitor, temsirolimus. The
 2411 |   PTEN-deficient cell FTC133 was highly sensitive to temsirolimus but
 2412 |   insensitive to RDEA119, and simultaneous treatment with the latter
 2413 |   enhanced the sensitivity of the cell to the former. The KAT18 (wild-
 2414 |   type) cell was not sensitive to either drug alone but became sensitive
 2415 |   to the combination of the 2 drugs. The drug synergy was confirmed by
 2416 |   combination index and isobologram analyses. RDEA119 and temsirolimus
 2417 |   also showed synergistic effects on autophagic death of OCUT1 and KAT18
 2418 |   cells selectively tested. Dramatic synergistic effects of the 2 drugs
 2419 |   were also seen on the growth of FTC133 xenograft tumors in nude mice.
 2420 |   Overall, the effects of the 2 drugs on cell proliferation or autophagic
 2421 |   death, either alone or in combination, were more pronounced in cells
 2422 |   that harbored genetic alterations in the MAP kinase and PI3K/Akt
 2423 |   pathways. Thus, these results demonstrated the important therapeutic
 2424 |   potential of the novel MEK inhibitor RDEA119 and its synergism with
 2425 |   temsirolimus in thyroid cancer.

 2491 | Abstract:
 2492 |   BRAF V600E is the genetic lesion underlying hairy-cell leukemia. We
 2493 |   assessed the safety and activity of the oral BRAF inhibitor vemurafenib
 2494 |   in patients with hairy-cell leukemia that had relapsed after treatment
 2495 |   with a purine analogue or who had disease that was refractory to purine
 2496 |   analogues.We conducted two phase 2, single-group, multicenter studies of
 2497 |   vemurafenib (at a dose of 960 mg twice daily)--one in Italy and one in
 2498 |   the United States. The therapy was administered for a median of 16 weeks
 2499 |   in the Italian study and 18 weeks in the U.S. study. Primary end points
 2500 |   were the complete response rate (in the Italian trial) and the overall
 2501 |   response rate (in the U.S. trial). Enrollment was completed (28
 2502 |   patients) in the Italian trial in April 2013 and is still open (26 of 36
 2503 |   planned patients) in the U.S. trial.The overall response rates were 96%
 2504 |   (25 of 26 patients who could be evaluated) after a median of 8 weeks in
 2505 |   the Italian study and 100% (24 of 24) after a median of 12 weeks in the
 2506 |   U.S. study. The rates of complete response were 35% (9 of 26 patients)
 2507 |   and 42% (10 of 24) in the two trials, respectively. In the Italian
 2508 |   trial, after a median follow-up of 23 months, the median relapse-free
 2509 |   survival was 19 months among patients with a complete response and 6
 2510 |   months among those with a partial response; the median treatment-free
 2511 |   survival was 25 months and 18 months, respectively. In the U.S. trial,
 2512 |   at 1 year, the progression-free survival rate was 73% and the overall
 2513 |   survival rate was 91%. Drug-related adverse events were usually of grade
 2514 |   1 or 2, and the events most frequently leading to dose reductions were
 2515 |   rash and arthralgia or arthritis. Secondary cutaneous tumors (treated
 2516 |   with simple excision) developed in 7 of 50 patients. The frequent
 2517 |   persistence of phosphorylated ERK-positive leukemic cells in bone marrow
 2518 |   at the end of treatment suggests bypass reactivation of MEK and ERK as a
 2519 |   resistance mechanism.A short oral course of vemurafenib was highly
 2520 |   effective in patients with relapsed or refractory hairy-cell leukemia.

 2655 | Abstract:
 2656 |   In vitro, EGFR inhibition, combined with the BRAF inhibitor vemurafenib,
 2657 |   causes synergistic cytotoxicity for BRAFV600E metastatic colorectal
 2658 |   cancer, further augmented by irinotecan. The safety and efficacy of
 2659 |   vemurafenib, irinotecan, and cetuximab in BRAF-mutated malignancies are
 2660 |   not defined. In this 3+3 phase I study, patients with BRAFV600E-advanced
 2661 |   solid cancers received cetuximab and irinotecan with escalating doses of
 2662 |   vemurafenib. Nineteen patients (18 with metastatic colorectal cancer and
 2663 |   1 with appendiceal cancer) were enrolled. Three patients experienced
 2664 |   dose-limiting toxicities. The MTD of vemurafenib was 960 mg twice daily.
 2665 |   Six of 17 evaluable patients (35%) achieved a radiographic response by
 2666 |   Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors 1.1 criteria, consistent
 2667 |   with in vivo models demonstrating tumor regressions with the triplet
 2668 |   regimen. Median progression-free survival was 7.7 months. BRAFV600E
 2669 |   circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) trends correlated with radiographic
 2670 |   changes, and acquired mutations from cfDNA in genes reactivating MAPK
 2671 |   signaling were observed at progression.Vemurafenib, in combination with
 2672 |   irinotecan and cetuximab, was well tolerated in patients with
 2673 |   refractory, BRAF-mutated metastatic colorectal cancer, and both survival
 2674 |   outcomes and response rates exceeded prior reports for vemurafenib and
 2675 |   for irinotecan plus cetuximab in BRAFV600E metastatic colorectal cancer.
 2676 |   In vivo models demonstrated regressions with the triplet, in contrast
 2677 |   with vemurafenib and cetuximab alone. cfDNA predicted radiographic
 2678 |   response and identified mutations reactivating the MAPK pathway upon
 2679 |   progression. Cancer Discov; 6(12); 1352-65. ©2016 AACR.This article is

 2756 | Abstract:
 2757 |   PURPOSE Cetuximab or panitumumab are effective in 10% to 20% unselected
 2758 |   metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. KRAS mutations account for
 2759 |   approximately 30% to 40% patients who are not responsive. The serine-
 2760 |   threonine kinase BRAF is the principal effector of KRAS. We hypothesized
 2761 |   that, in KRAS wild-type patients, BRAF mutations could have a
 2762 |   predictive/prognostic value. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively
 2763 |   analyzed objective tumor responses, time to progression, overall
 2764 |   survival (OS), and the mutational status of KRAS and BRAF in 113 tumors
 2765 |   from cetuximab- or panitumumab-treated metastatic CRC patients. The
 2766 |   effect of the BRAF V600E mutation on cetuximab or panitumumab response
 2767 |   was also assessed using cellular models of CRC. Results KRAS mutations
 2768 |   were present in 30% of the patients and were associated with resistance
 2769 |   to cetuximab or panitumumab (P = .011). The BRAF V600E mutation was
 2770 |   detected in 11 of 79 patients who had wild-type KRAS. None of the BRAF-
 2771 |   mutated patients responded to treatment, whereas none of the responders
 2772 |   carried BRAF mutations (P = .029). BRAF-mutated patients had
 2773 |   significantly shorter progression-free survival (P = .011) and OS (P <
 2774 |   .0001) than wild-type patients. In CRC cells, the introduction of BRAF
 2775 |   V600E allele impaired the therapeutic effect of cetuximab or
 2776 |   panitumumab. Treatment with the BRAF inhibitor sorafenib restored
 2777 |   sensitivity to panitumumab or cetuximab of CRC cells carrying the V600E
 2778 |   allele. CONCLUSION BRAF wild-type is required for response to
 2779 |   panitumumab or cetuximab and could be used to select patients who are
 2780 |   eligible for the treatment. Double-hit therapies aimed at simultaneous
 2781 |   inhibition of epidermal growth factor receptor and BRAF warrant

 2850 | Abstract:
 2851 |   BRAF V600 mutations occur in various nonmelanoma cancers. We undertook a
 2852 |   histology-independent phase 2 "basket" study of vemurafenib in BRAF V600
 2853 |   mutation-positive nonmelanoma cancers.We enrolled patients in six
 2854 |   prespecified cancer cohorts; patients with all other tumor types were
 2855 |   enrolled in a seventh cohort. A total of 122 patients with BRAF V600
 2856 |   mutation-positive cancer were treated, including 27 patients with
 2857 |   colorectal cancer who received vemurafenib and cetuximab. The primary
 2858 |   end point was the response rate; secondary end points included
 2859 |   progression-free and overall survival.In the cohort with non-small-cell
 2860 |   lung cancer, the response rate was 42% (95% confidence interval [CI], 20
 2861 |   to 67) and median progression-free survival was 7.3 months (95% CI, 3.5
 2862 |   to 10.8). In the cohort with Erdheim-Chester disease or Langerhans'-cell
 2863 |   histiocytosis, the response rate was 43% (95% CI, 18 to 71); the median
 2864 |   treatment duration was 5.9 months (range, 0.6 to 18.6), and no patients
 2865 |   had disease progression during therapy. There were anecdotal responses
 2866 |   among patients with pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma, anaplastic thyroid
 2867 |   cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, salivary-duct cancer, ovarian cancer, and
 2868 |   clear-cell sarcoma and among patients with colorectal cancer who
 2869 |   received vemurafenib and cetuximab. Safety was similar to that in prior
 2870 |   studies of vemurafenib for melanoma.BRAF V600 appears to be a targetable
 2871 |   oncogene in some, but not all, nonmelanoma cancers. Preliminary
 2872 |   vemurafenib activity was observed in non-small-cell lung cancer and in
 2873 |   Erdheim-Chester disease and Langerhans'-cell histiocytosis. The
 2874 |   histologic context is an important determinant of response in BRAF
 2875 |   V600-mutated cancers. (Funded by F. Hoffmann-La Roche/Genentech;

 2945 | Abstract:
 2946 |   Approximately 45% of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients with
 2947 |   wild-type KRAS exon 2 are resistant to cetuximab treatment. We set out
 2948 |   to identify additional genetic markers that might predict the response
 2949 |   to cetuximab treatment. Fifty-three wild-type KRAS exon 2 mCRC patients
 2950 |   were treated with cetuximab/irinotecan-based chemotherapy as a first- or
 2951 |   third-line therapy. The mutational statuses of 10 EGFR pathway genes
 2952 |   were analyzed in primary tumors using next-generation sequencing. BRAF,
 2953 |   PIK3CA, KRAS (exons 3 and 4), NRAS, PTEN, and AKT1 mutations were
 2954 |   detected in 6, 6, 5, 4, 1, and 1 patient, respectively. Four of the BRAF
 2955 |   mutations were non-V600 variants. Four tumors harbored multiple co-
 2956 |   existing (complex) mutations. All patients with BRAF mutations or
 2957 |   complex mutation patterns were cetuximab non-responders. All patients
 2958 |   but one harboring KRAS, NRAS, or BRAF mutations were non-responders.
 2959 |   Mutations in any one of these three genes were associated with a poor
 2960 |   response rate (7.1%) and reduced survival (PFS = 8.0 months) compared to
 2961 |   wild-type patients (74.4% and 11.6 months). Our data suggest that KRAS,
 2962 |   NRAS, and BRAF mutations predict response to cetuximab treatment in mCRC
 2963 |   patients.

 3029 | Abstract:
 3030 |   Oncogenic mutations in the serine/threonine kinase B-RAF (also known as
 3031 |   BRAF) are found in 50-70% of malignant melanomas. Pre-clinical studies
 3032 |   have demonstrated that the B-RAF(V600E) mutation predicts a dependency
 3033 |   on the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signalling cascade in
 3034 |   melanoma-an observation that has been validated by the success of RAF
 3035 |   and MEK inhibitors in clinical trials. However, clinical responses to
 3036 |   targeted anticancer therapeutics are frequently confounded by de novo or
 3037 |   acquired resistance. Identification of resistance mechanisms in a manner
 3038 |   that elucidates alternative 'druggable' targets may inform effective
 3039 |   long-term treatment strategies. Here we expressed ∼600 kinase and
 3040 |   kinase-related open reading frames (ORFs) in parallel to interrogate
 3041 |   resistance to a selective RAF kinase inhibitor. We identified MAP3K8
 3042 |   (the gene encoding COT/Tpl2) as a MAPK pathway agonist that drives
 3043 |   resistance to RAF inhibition in B-RAF(V600E) cell lines. COT activates
 3044 |   ERK primarily through MEK-dependent mechanisms that do not require RAF
 3045 |   signalling. Moreover, COT expression is associated with de novo
 3046 |   resistance in B-RAF(V600E) cultured cell lines and acquired resistance
 3047 |   in melanoma cells and tissue obtained from relapsing patients following
 3048 |   treatment with MEK or RAF inhibitors. We further identify combinatorial
 3049 |   MAPK pathway inhibition or targeting of COT kinase activity as possible
 3050 |   therapeutic strategies for reducing MAPK pathway activation in this
 3051 |   setting. Together, these results provide new insights into resistance
 3052 |   mechanisms involving the MAPK pathway and articulate an integrative
 3053 |   approach through which high-throughput functional screens may inform the
 3054 |   development of novel therapeutic strategies.

 3126 | Abstract:
 3127 |   BRAF(V600E/K) is a frequent mutationally active tumor-specific kinase in
 3128 |   melanomas that is currently targeted for therapy by the specific
 3129 |   inhibitor PLX4032. Our studies with melanoma tumor cells that are
 3130 |   BRAF(V600E/K) and BRAF(WT) showed that, paradoxically, while PLX4032
 3131 |   inhibited ERK1/2 in the highly sensitive BRAF(V600E/K), it activated the
 3132 |   pathway in the resistant BRAF(WT) cells, via RAF1 activation, regardless
 3133 |   of the status of mutations in NRAS or PTEN. The persistently active
 3134 |   ERK1/2 triggered downstream effectors in BRAF(WT) melanoma cells and
 3135 |   induced changes in the expression of a wide-spectrum of genes associated
 3136 |   with cell cycle control. Furthermore, PLX4032 increased the rate of
 3137 |   proliferation of growth factor-dependent NRAS Q61L mutant primary
 3138 |   melanoma cells, reduced cell adherence and increased mobility of cells
 3139 |   from advanced lesions. The results suggest that the drug can confer an
 3140 |   advantage to BRAF(WT) primary and metastatic tumor cells in vivo and
 3141 |   provide markers for monitoring clinical responses.

 3217 |   (pts) with solid tumors, lymphomas, or multiple myeloma with progression
 3218 |   on prior treatment to a targeted therapy based on genetic alterations
 3219 |   identified in pre-treatment biopsies. Arm H (EAY131-H) evaluated the
 3220 |   combination of the BRAF inhibitor (inh) dabrafenib (DAB), and the MEK
 3221 |   inh, trametinib (TRM), in pts with BRAF V600E/K mutations. Methods: Pts
 3222 |   with melanoma, thyroid, or colorectal cancer were excluded. Pts with
 3223 |   NSCLC were excluded after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
 3224 |   approved DAB/TRM for this indication. Pts received DAB 150 mg po BID and
 3225 |   TRM 2 mg PO daily on 28 day cycles until disease progression or
 3226 |   intolerable toxicity; restaging was performed every 2 cycles. The
 3227 |   primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR); secondary endpoints
 3228 |   included progression-free survival (PFS), 6-month PFS, and overall
 3229 |   survival (OS). Results: A total of 35 pts were enrolled from
 3230 |   1/2016-2/2018; 2 were ineligible (CrCl below criteria; labs out of
 3231 |   window). Over 17 distinct tumor histologies were represented. 58% of pts
 3232 |   were female, median age was 63 (range 21-85), 94% were Caucasian, and
 3233 |   48% of pts had received at least 3 prior therapies (range 1- 8). The
 3234 |   confirmed ORR was 33.3% (90% CI 19.9%, 49.1%), with a median duration of
 3235 |   response (DoR) of 12 months (mon). Varied histologies had a DoR of > 12
 3236 |   mon: histiocytic sarcoma, cholangiocarcinoma and mixed
 3237 |   adenoneuroendocrine carcinoma of unknown primary, among others. Median
 3238 |   PFS was 9.4 mon; the 6 mon PFS rate was 70.6% (90% CI 58.2%-85.5%), and
 3239 |   an additional 10 pts had a PFS > 5.5 mon. Median OS has not been
 3240 |   reached. At the time of data cutoff (12/2018) 11 pts continue on
 3241 |   treatment. Adverse events (AE) were comparable to previously reported
 3242 |   profiles of DAB/TRM; no new AEs were identified. The most frequent grade
 3243 |   3 AEs were fatigue, neutropenia, hyponatremia, hypophosphatemia, and
 3244 |   urinary tract infection; there was 1 grade 4 sepsis; no grade 5 AEs.
 3245 |   Conclusions: In this pre-treated, mixed histology cohort, DAB and TRM
 3246 |   showed promising activity outside of currently approved FDA indications
 3247 |   warranting further investigations. Correlative analyses are planned.

 3314 | Abstract:
 3315 |   The usual paradigm for developing kinase inhibitors in oncology is to
 3316 |   use a high-affinity proof-of-concept inhibitor with acceptable metabolic
 3317 |   properties for key target validation experiments. This approach requires
 3318 |   substantial medicinal chemistry and can be confounded by drug toxicity
 3319 |   and off-target activities of the test molecule. As a better alternative,
 3320 |   we have developed inducible short-hairpin RNA xenograft models to
 3321 |   examine the in vivo efficacy of inhibiting oncogenic BRAF. Our results
 3322 |   show that tumor regression resulting from BRAF suppression is inducible,
 3323 |   reversible, and tightly regulated in these models. Analysis of
 3324 |   regressing tumors showed the primary mechanism of action for BRAF to be
 3325 |   increased tumor cell proliferation and survival. In a metastatic
 3326 |   melanoma model, conditional BRAF suppression slowed systemic tumor
 3327 |   growth as determined by in vivo bioluminescence imaging. Taken together,
 3328 |   gain-of-function BRAF signaling is strongly associated with in vivo
 3329 |   tumorigenicity, confirming BRAF as an important target for small-
 3330 |   molecule and RNA interference-based therapeutics.

 3394 | Abstract:
 3395 |   Multiple BRAF inhibitor resistance mechanisms have been described,
 3396 |   however, their relative frequency, clinical correlates, and effect on
 3397 |   subsequent therapy have not been assessed in patients with metastatic
 3398 |   melanoma.Fifty-nine BRAF(V600)-mutant melanoma metastases from patients
 3399 |   treated with dabrafenib or vemurafenib were analyzed. The genetic
 3400 |   profile of resistance mechanisms and tumor signaling pathway activity
 3401 |   was correlated with clinicopathologic features and therapeutic
 3402 |   outcomes.Resistance mechanisms were identified in 58% progressing tumors
 3403 |   and BRAF alterations were common. Gene expression analysis revealed that
 3404 |   mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activity remained inhibited in
 3405 |   21% of resistant tumors, and the outcomes of patients with these tumors
 3406 |   were poor. Resistance mechanisms also occurred in pretreatment biopsies
 3407 |   and heterogeneity of resistance mechanisms occurred within patients and
 3408 |   within tumors. There were no responses to subsequent targeted therapy,
 3409 |   even when a progressing tumor had a resistance mechanism predicted to be
 3410 |   responsive.Selecting sequential drugs based on the molecular
 3411 |   characteristics of a single progressing biopsy is unlikely to provide
 3412 |   improved responses, and first-line therapies targeting multiple pathways
 3413 |   will be required.

 3480 | Abstract:
 3481 |   BRAF(V600E) is the most frequent oncogenic protein kinase mutation
 3482 |   known. Furthermore, inhibitors targeting "active" protein kinases have
 3483 |   demonstrated significant utility in the therapeutic repertoire against
 3484 |   cancer. Therefore, we pursued the development of specific kinase
 3485 |   inhibitors targeting B-Raf, and the V600E allele in particular. By using
 3486 |   a structure-guided discovery approach, a potent and selective inhibitor
 3487 |   of active B-Raf has been discovered. PLX4720, a 7-azaindole derivative
 3488 |   that inhibits B-Raf(V600E) with an IC(50) of 13 nM, defines a class of
 3489 |   kinase inhibitor with marked selectivity in both biochemical and
 3490 |   cellular assays. PLX4720 preferentially inhibits the active B-Raf(V600E)
 3491 |   kinase compared with a broad spectrum of other kinases, and potent
 3492 |   cytotoxic effects are also exclusive to cells bearing the V600E allele.
 3493 |   Consistent with the high degree of selectivity, ERK phosphorylation is
 3494 |   potently inhibited by PLX4720 in B-Raf(V600E)-bearing tumor cell lines
 3495 |   but not in cells lacking oncogenic B-Raf. In melanoma models, PLX4720
 3496 |   induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis exclusively in
 3497 |   B-Raf(V600E)-positive cells. In B-Raf(V600E)-dependent tumor xenograft
 3498 |   models, orally dosed PLX4720 causes significant tumor growth delays,
 3499 |   including tumor regressions, without evidence of toxicity. The work
 3500 |   described here represents the entire discovery process, from initial
 3501 |   identification through structural and biological studies in animal
 3502 |   models to a promising therapeutic for testing in cancer patients bearing
 3503 |   B-Raf(V600E)-driven tumors.

 3574 | Abstract:
 3575 |   BRAF G469A is a missense mutation within exon 11 of the BRAF gene
 3576 |   resulting in a constitutively activated enzyme frequently associated
 3577 |   with MAP kinase cascade signaling activation. No evidence currently
 3578 |   exists about its role in determining sensitivity/resistance to BRAF
 3579 |   inhibitors, utilized in the treatment of patients carrying BRAF V600
 3580 |   mutations, and to chemotherapy. The newly established metastatic
 3581 |   melanoma (MM) cell line MO-1 was characterized for its sensitivity to
 3582 |   vemurafenib and nab-paclitaxel, both already utilized for the treatment
 3583 |   of MM.All analyses were carried out by comparing results with those
 3584 |   found in MM cells wild type for BRAF or mutated in V600. In addition,
 3585 |   cellular effectors were investigated by ELISA kits, western blotting and
 3586 |   flow cytometry.The exposure to vemurafenib inhibited MO-1 cell
 3587 |   proliferation at concentrations similar to those obtained in
 3588 |   vemurafenib-resistant melanoma models, and an explanation of this
 3589 |   sensitivity is the strong activation of Erk1/2 and the low expression of
 3590 |   MITF. Nab-paclitaxel strongly reduced proliferation of MO-1 cells
 3591 |   perhaps for the very low expression level of PMEL17, transcriptionally
 3592 |   regulated by MITF and negatively involved in determining sensitivity to
 3593 |   taxanes.Thus, the mutation BRAF G469A in MM might be related to a weak
 3594 |   effectiveness of therapy with BRAF inhibitors and a promising
 3595 |   therapeutic approach may be with nab-paclitaxel.

 3663 | Abstract:
 3664 |   The effects of the BRAF(V600E) mutation on prognostic factors and poor
 3665 |   clinical outcomes in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) have not been fully
 3666 |   quantified. The authors performed comprehensive meta-analysis to assess
 3667 |   the strength of associations between these conditions and the
 3668 |   BRAF(V600E) mutation.The authors identified the clinical studies that
 3669 |   examined the association of the BRAF(V600E) mutation in surgical
 3670 |   specimens with clinicopathologic outcomes between January 2003 and
 3671 |   October 2010 using the Medline database. One hundred thirty-one relevant
 3672 |   studies were hand-searched. The authors selected 27 studies that
 3673 |   included 5655 PTC patients. They calculated the pooled odds ratios (ORs)
 3674 |   or risk ratios with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for each study using
 3675 |   a random effect model.The average prevalence rate of the BRAF(V600E)
 3676 |   mutation was 49.4%. In 26 studies, compared with the patients who had
 3677 |   the wild-type BRAF genes, the PTC patients with the BRAF(V600E) mutation
 3678 |   had increased ORs of an extrathyroidal invasion (OR, 2.14; 95% CI,
 3679 |   1.68-2.73), a lymph node metastasis (OR, 1.54; 95% CI, 1.21-1.97), and
 3680 |   an advanced TNM stage (OR, 2.00; 95% CI, 1.61-2.49). In 8 studies,
 3681 |   patients with the mutation had 2.14-fold increased risk of recurrent and
 3682 |   persistent disease (95% CI, 1.67-2.74). The associations were generally
 3683 |   consistent across the different study populations.This meta-analysis
 3684 |   demonstrates that the BRAF(V600E) mutation is closely related to the
 3685 |   high-risk clinicopathological factors and poorer outcome of PTC. The
 3686 |   results obtained here suggest that the BRAF(V600E) mutation should be
 3687 |   considered as a poor prognostic marker in PTC and may lead to better
 3688 |   management for individual patients.

 3749 | Abstract:
 3750 |   The BRAF(V600E) mutation is common in several human cancers, especially
 3751 |   melanoma. RG7204 (PLX4032) is a small-molecule inhibitor of BRAF(V600E)
 3752 |   kinase activity that is in phase II and phase III clinical testing.
 3753 |   Here, we report a preclinical characterization of the antitumor activity
 3754 |   of RG7204 using established in vitro and in vivo models of malignant
 3755 |   melanoma. RG7204 potently inhibited proliferation and mitogen-activated
 3756 |   protein/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) kinase and ERK
 3757 |   phosphorylation in a panel of tumor cell lines, including melanoma cell
 3758 |   lines expressing BRAF(V600E) or other mutant BRAF proteins altered at
 3759 |   codon 600. In contrast, RG7204 lacked activity in cell lines that
 3760 |   express wild-type BRAF or non-V600 mutations. In several tumor xenograft
 3761 |   models of BRAF(V600E)-expressing melanoma, we found that RG7204
 3762 |   treatment caused partial or complete tumor regressions and improved
 3763 |   animal survival, in a dose-dependent manner. There was no toxicity
 3764 |   observed in any dose group in any of the in vivo models tested. Our
 3765 |   findings offer evidence of the potent antitumor activity of RG7204
 3766 |   against melanomas harboring the mutant BRAF(V600E) gene.

 3831 | Abstract:
 3832 |   PLX4032/vemurafenib is a first-in-class small-molecule BRAF(V600E)
 3833 |   inhibitor with clinical activity in patients with BRAF mutant melanoma.
 3834 |   Nevertheless, drug resistance develops in treated patients, and
 3835 |   strategies to overcome primary and acquired resistance are required. To
 3836 |   explore the molecular mechanisms involved in primary resistance to
 3837 |   PLX4032, we investigated its effects on cell proliferation and signaling
 3838 |   in a panel of 27 genetically characterized patient-derived melanoma cell
 3839 |   lines. Cell sensitivity to PLX4032 was dependent on BRAF(V600E) and
 3840 |   independent from other gene alterations that commonly occur in melanoma
 3841 |   such as PTEN loss, BRAF, and MITF gene amplification. Two cell lines
 3842 |   lacking sensitivity to PLX4032 and harboring a different set of genetic
 3843 |   alterations were studied as models of primary resistance. Treatment with
 3844 |   the MEK inhibitor UO126 but not with PLX4032 inhibited cell growth and
 3845 |   ERK activation. Resistance to PLX4032 was maintained after CRAF down-
 3846 |   regulation by siRNA indicating alternative activation of MEK-ERK
 3847 |   signaling. Genetic characterization by multiplex ligation-dependent
 3848 |   probe amplification and analysis of phosphotyrosine signaling by MALDI-
 3849 |   TOF mass spectrometry analysis revealed the activation of MET and SRC
 3850 |   signaling, associated with the amplification of MET and of CTNNB1 and
 3851 |   CCND1 genes, respectively. The combination of PLX4032 with drugs or
 3852 |   siRNA targeting MET was effective in inhibiting cell growth and reducing
 3853 |   cell invasion and migration in melanoma cells with MET amplification;
 3854 |   similar effects were observed after targeting SRC in the other cell
 3855 |   line, indicating a role for MET and SRC signaling in primary resistance
 3856 |   to PLX4032. Our results support the development of classification of
 3857 |   melanoma in molecular subtypes for more effective therapies.

 3922 | Abstract:
 3923 |   Point mutations in the KIT receptor tyrosine kinase gene have recently
 3924 |   been identified in mucosal, acral lentiginous, and chronically sun-
 3925 |   damaged melanomas. We have identified the first human melanoma cell line
 3926 |   with an endogenous L576P mutation, the most common KIT mutation in
 3927 |   melanoma ( approximately 30-40%). In vitro testing showed that the cell
 3928 |   viability of the L576P mutant cell line was not reduced by imatinib,
 3929 |   nilotinib, or sorafenib small molecule KIT inhibitors effective in
 3930 |   nonmelanoma cells with other KIT mutations. However, the viability of
 3931 |   the mutant cells was reduced by dasatinib at concentrations as low as 10
 3932 |   nM (P = 0.004). Molecular modeling studies found that the L576P mutation
 3933 |   induces structural changes in KIT that reduce the affinity for imatinib
 3934 |   (DeltaDeltaGbind = -2.52 kcal/mol) but not for dasatinib
 3935 |   (DeltaDeltaGbind = +0.32 kcal/mol). Two metastatic melanoma patients
 3936 |   with the L576P KIT mutation were treated with dasatinib, including one
 3937 |   patient previously treated with imatinib. Both patients had marked
 3938 |   reduction (>50%) and elimination of tumor F18-fluorodeoxyglucose
 3939 |   (FDG)-avidity by positron emission tomography (PET) imaging after
 3940 |   dasatinib treatment. These data support the selective inhibitory effect
 3941 |   of dasatinib against cells harboring the most common KIT mutation in
 3942 |   melanoma, and thus has therapeutic implications for acrallentiginous,
 3943 |   chronic sun-damaged, and mucosal melanomas.

 4077 | Abstract:
 4078 |   Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) is a chronic B-cell lymphoproliferative
 4079 |   disorder that accounts for 2% of all leukemia. Recent identification of
 4080 |   the recurrent V600E BRAF mutation in a majority of HCL patients has led
 4081 |   some teams to evaluate the clinical potential of vemurafenib, a BRAF
 4082 |   V600 specific inhibitor in a limited number of refractory HCL patients.
 4083 |   Recently, we published the case of an HCL patient successfully treated
 4084 |   with a low dose of vemurafenib. Eight months after the ending of
 4085 |   treatment this patient relapsed. We present here the successful
 4086 |   retreatment of this patient with a second line of vemurafenib. Our data
 4087 |   suggest for the first time that vemurafenib at the dose of 240 mg once a
 4088 |   day could be sufficient to maintain a complete hematological remission
 4089 |   after an initial induction treatment with low-dose vemurafenib (2 × 240
 4090 |   mg) daily without inducing major toxicity.

 4222 | Abstract:
 4223 |   Vemurafenib, a selective BRAF inhibitor, appears to have promising
 4224 |   clinical activity in patients with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC)
 4225 |   harboring the BRAF(V600E) mutation.To determine the efficacy and safety
 4226 |   of vemurafenib when used outside of a clinical trial.A retrospective
 4227 |   review at MD Anderson Cancer Center.The best responses were evaluated
 4228 |   using RECIST v1.1. A single radiologist reviewed all images. Adverse
 4229 |   events (AEs) were evaluated using CTCAE v.4.0.We identified 17 patients
 4230 |   with advanced PTC harboring the BRAF(V600E) mutation who were treated
 4231 |   with vemurafenib outside of a clinical trial. Median age at diagnosis
 4232 |   was 63 years, and 53% were male. At vemurafenib start, 3 (18%) patients
 4233 |   had disease confined to the neck, and 14 (72%) had distant metastases.
 4234 |   Tyrosine kinase inhibitors had been previously administered to 4 (24%)
 4235 |   patients. Two (12%) patients discontinued vemurafenib because of AEs
 4236 |   before restaging. Best response: partial response (PR) in 7/15 (47%) and
 4237 |   stable disease (SD) in 8/15(53%) patients. The rate of durable response
 4238 |   (PR plus SD ≥ 6 months) was 67%. Median time to treatment failure was 13
 4239 |   months. There was no association between change in thyroglobulin and
 4240 |   tumor size. Drug discontinuation, drug interruptions, and dose
 4241 |   reductions were needed in 5 (29%), 13 (76%), and 10 (59%) patients,
 4242 |   respectively. Most common AEs were fatigue (71%), weight loss (71%),
 4243 |   anorexia (65%), arthralgias (59%), hair loss (59%), rash (59%), hand-
 4244 |   foot syndrome (53%), calluses (47%), diarrhea (47%), fever (41%), dry
 4245 |   mouth (35%), nausea (35%), and verrucous keratosis (35%). Grade ≥ 3 AEs
 4246 |   were present in 8 (47%) patients.Vemurafenib is a potentially effective
 4247 |   and well-tolerated treatment strategy in patients with advanced PTC
 4248 |   harboring the BRAF(V600E) mutation. Our results are similar to those
 4249 |   reported in a phase II clinical trial and support the potential role of
 4250 |   vemurafenib in this patient population.

 4327 | Abstract:
 4328 |   Clinical benefit from cytotoxic chemotherapy for metastatic papillary
 4329 |   thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is disappointing, and effective therapeutic
 4330 |   approaches for these patients are urgently needed. Because kinase-
 4331 |   activating mutations in the BRAF proto-oncogene commonly occur in
 4332 |   advanced PTC, and inhibition of BRAF(V600E) has shown promising clinical
 4333 |   activity in melanoma, BRAF inhibitor therapy may be an effective
 4334 |   strategy to treat metastatic PTC.The dose escalation portion of a first-
 4335 |   in-human, phase I study of vemurafenib, a selective RAF inhibitor,
 4336 |   included three patients with metastatic PTC harboring the BRAF(V600E)
 4337 |   mutation. Vemurafenib was initially dosed at 240-360 mg twice a day,
 4338 |   later escalated to 720 mg twice a day. Response evaluation was performed
 4339 |   every 8 weeks per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors
 4340 |   (RECIST).Among the three patients, one had a confirmed partial response
 4341 |   with reduction of pulmonary target lesions by 31%, and the duration of
 4342 |   response was 7.6 months before the disease progressed in the lungs and
 4343 |   the bones. The time to progression was 11.7 months. The other two
 4344 |   patients had stable disease, and the time to progression was 13.2 and
 4345 |   11.4 months, respectively.Vemurafenib appears to have a promising
 4346 |   clinical activity in patients with metastatic PTC, and our data suggest
 4347 |   that the BRAF(V600E) mutant kinase is a relevant target for therapy in
 4348 |   this patient population. Further investigation of inhibitors of mutated
 4349 |   BRAF kinase in patients with PTC in a phase II study is warranted.

 4419 | Abstract:
 4420 |   Papillary thyroid carcinoma is the most common thyroid malignancy. Most
 4421 |   papillary thyroid carcinomas contain BRAF mutations or RET/PTC
 4422 |   rearrangements, thus providing targets for biologic therapy. Our
 4423 |   previous studies had suggested papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTCs) with
 4424 |   a BRAF mutation and the RET/PTC1 rearrangement have different
 4425 |   sensitivities to MEK1/2 inhibitors, suggesting different signaling
 4426 |   transduction pathways were involved.Src signaling transduction pathway
 4427 |   in PTC cells was examined using Src inhibitors (PP2, SU6656, or
 4428 |   dasatinib) and si-Src RNA in vitro by Western blot analysis and
 4429 |   proliferation analysis. An orthotopic xenograft mouse model was used for
 4430 |   the in vivo studies using dasatinib.In PTC cells, Src inhibitors
 4431 |   suppressed p-Src and p-FAK and inhibited cell growth. In addition,
 4432 |   significant suppression and extension of the p-ERK1/2 dephosphorylation
 4433 |   were detected in RET/PTC1-rearranged cells in combination with an MEK
 4434 |   inhibitor (CI-1040). The Src family kinase/ABL inhibitor, dasatinib,
 4435 |   significantly decreased tumor volume in mice inoculated with PTC cells
 4436 |   carrying the RET/PTC1 rearrangement. In BRAF-mutated PTC cells, Src
 4437 |   inhibitors effectively suppressed p-Src expression and dasatinib
 4438 |   significantly decreased tumor volume with twice daily treatment.Src
 4439 |   inhibitors effectively inhibited the Src signaling transduction pathway
 4440 |   in PTC cells in vitro and dasatinib suppressed tumor growth in vivo.
 4441 |   These results suggested that Src signaling transduction pathway plays an
 4442 |   important role in regulating growth in PTC cells. Combination of Src and
 4443 |   MEK1/2 inhibitors extended the dephosphorylation of extracellular
 4444 |   signal-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2 in PTCs carrying the RET/PTC1
 4445 |   rearrangement suggesting that combination therapy with complementary
 4446 |   inhibitors of other signaling transduction pathways may be needed to
 4447 |   effectively suppress growth and induce apoptosis in these cells.

 4505 | Abstract:
 4506 |   Interaction between tumor cells and stromal cells plays an important
 4507 |   role in the growth and metastasis of colon cancer. We previously found
 4508 |   that carcinoma-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) expressed platelet-derived
 4509 |   growth factor receptor-β (PDGFR-β) and that PDGFR targeted therapy using
 4510 |   imatinib or nilotinib inhibited stromal reaction. Bone marrow-derived
 4511 |   mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) migrate to tumor stroma and differentiate
 4512 |   into CAFs. A novel oral multikinase inhibitor regorafenib inhibits
 4513 |   receptor tyrosine kinases expressed on stromal cells (vascular
 4514 |   endothelial growth factor receptor 1-3, TIE2, PDGFR-β, and fibroblast
 4515 |   growth factors) and tumor cells (c-KIT, RET, and BRAF). These molecules
 4516 |   are involved in tumor growth, angiogenesis, lymphangiogenesis, and
 4517 |   stromal activation. Therefore, we examined whether regorafenib impaired
 4518 |   the tumor-promoting effect of CAFs/MSCs. KM12SM human colon cancer cells
 4519 |   alone or KM12SM cells with MSCs were transplanted into the cecal wall of
 4520 |   nude mice. Co-implantation of KM12SM cells with MSCs into the cecal wall
 4521 |   of nude mice produced tumors with abundant stromal component and
 4522 |   promoted tumor growth and lymph node metastasis. Single treatment with
 4523 |   regorafenib inhibited tumor growth and metastasis by inhibiting both
 4524 |   tumor cells and stromal reaction. This tumor-inhibitory effect of
 4525 |   regorafenib was more obvious in tumors developed by co-implanting KM12SM
 4526 |   cells with MSCs. Our data suggested that targeting of the tumor
 4527 |   microenvironment with regorafenib affected tumor cell-MSC interaction,
 4528 |   which in turn inhibited the growth and metastasis of colon cancer.

 4594 | Abstract:
 4595 |   Approximately 2% of lung adenocarcinomas have BRAF (v-Raf murine sarcoma
 4596 |   viral oncogene homolog B) mutations, including V600E and other types.
 4597 |   Vemurafenib, dabrafenib, and sorafenib as BRAF inhibitors are currently
 4598 |   tested in clinical trials, but access for patients is limited. The aim
 4599 |   of this study was to document the clinical course of patients treated
 4600 |   outside of clinical trials.We conducted a retrospective multicenter
 4601 |   cohort study in Europe of patients with advanced BRAF-mutant lung cancer
 4602 |   treated with known BRAF inhibitors. Data were anonymized and centrally
 4603 |   assessed for age, gender, smoking, histology, stage, local molecular
 4604 |   diagnostic results, systemic therapies, and survival. Best response was
 4605 |   assessed locally by RECIST1.1.We documented 35 patients treated in 17
 4606 |   centers with vemurafenib, dabrafenib, or sorafenib. Median age was 63
 4607 |   years (range 42-85); gender was balanced; 14 (40%) were never smokers;
 4608 |   all (100%) had adenocarcinoma; 29 (83%) had V600E; 6 (17%) had other
 4609 |   mutations; one of them had a concomitant KRAS mutation. Thirty (86%)
 4610 |   patients had chemotherapy in the first line. Overall survival with
 4611 |   first-line therapy was 25.3 months for V600E and 11.8 months for
 4612 |   non-V600E. Thirty-one patients received one BRAF inhibitor, and four
 4613 |   received a second inhibitor. Overall response rate with BRAF therapy was
 4614 |   53%, and disease control rate was 85%. Median progression-free survival
 4615 |   with BRAF therapy was 5.0 months, and overall survival was 10.8
 4616 |   months.These results confirm the activity of targeted therapy in
 4617 |   patients with BRAF-mutant lung adenocarcinoma. Further trials are
 4618 |   warranted to study combination therapies and drug resistance mechanisms.

 4688 | Abstract:
 4689 |   We address the prognostic and predictive value of KRAS, PIK3CA and BRAF
 4690 |   mutations for clinical outcomes in response to active agents in the
 4691 |   treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC).We determined KRAS,
 4692 |   BRAF and PIK3CA mutations in tumours from 168 patients treated for mCRC
 4693 |   at two institutions. All patients received 5-FU-based first-line
 4694 |   chemotherapy and treatment outcome was analysed retrospectively.KRAS,
 4695 |   BRAF and PIK3CA mutations were present in 62 (37%), 13 (8%) and 26 (15%)
 4696 |   cases, respectively. Multivariate analysis uncovered BRAF mutation as an
 4697 |   independent prognostic factor for decreased survival (hazard ratio (HR)
 4698 |   4.0, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.1-7.6). In addition, patients with
 4699 |   BRAF-mutant tumours had significantly lower progression-free survival
 4700 |   (PFS: HR 4.0, 95% CI 2.2-7.4) than those whose tumors that carried wild-
 4701 |   type BRAF. Among 92 patients treated using chemotherapy and cetuximab as
 4702 |   salvage therapy, KRAS mutation was associated with lack of response
 4703 |   (P=0.002) and shorter PFS (P=0.09). BRAF (P=0.0005) and PIK3CA (P=0.01)
 4704 |   mutations also predicted reduced PFS in response to cetuximab salvage
 4705 |   therapy.These results underscore the potential of mutational profiling
 4706 |   to identify CRCs with different natural histories or treatment
 4707 |   responses. The adverse significance of BRAF mutation should inform
 4708 |   patient selection and stratification in clinical trials.

 4769 | Abstract:
 4770 |   Somatic BRAF mutations have been reported in 1-4% of non-small cell lung
 4771 |   cancer (NSCLC), primarily in adenocarcinomas with the BRAF (V600E)
 4772 |   mutation in about 50% of the cases. The role of BRAF mutation in NSCLC
 4773 |   and the treatment for tumors with such mutations is still evolving. Our
 4774 |   patient had metastatic NSCLC with metastases to her brain. Due to the
 4775 |   BRAF (V600E) mutation in her tumor and her poor functional status, we
 4776 |   offered her off-label treatment with vemurafenib, a BRAF inhibitor
 4777 |   approved for use in metastatic melanoma. Our patient's visceral disease
 4778 |   improved supporting vemurafenib's efficacy in the treatment of
 4779 |   metastatic BRAF-mutated NSCLC. The regression of intracranial disease
 4780 |   indicated vemurafenib was able to cross the blood-brain barrier and was
 4781 |   efficacious in treating brain metastases in this patient with lung
 4782 |   cancer.

 4841 | Abstract:
 4842 |   BRAF (V600E) mutation is the most commonly detected genetic alteration
 4843 |   in thyroid cancer. Unlike its high treatment response to selective BRAF
 4844 |   inhibitor (PLX4032) in metastatic melanoma, the treatment response in
 4845 |   thyroid cancer is reported to be low. The purpose of this study is to
 4846 |   investigate the resistance mechanism responsible for this low treatment
 4847 |   response to BRAF inhibitor in order to maximize the effect of targeted
 4848 |   therapy. We examined the expression of feedback regulation mechanisms
 4849 |   and alterations in the upper signal transduction pathway in thyroid
 4850 |   cancer cell lines harboring BRAF mutation. Also, we investigated the
 4851 |   effect of dual inhibition from combinatorial therapy. Two thyroid cancer
 4852 |   cell lines, 8505C (anaplastic thyroid cancer) and BCPAP (papillary
 4853 |   thyroid cancer) were selected and treated with PLX4032 and its drug
 4854 |   sensitivity were examined and compared. Further investigation on the
 4855 |   changes in signals responsible for the different treatment response to
 4856 |   PLX4032 was carried out and the same experiment was performed on
 4857 |   orthotopic xenograft mouse models. Unlike BCPAP cells, 8505C cells
 4858 |   presented drug resistance to PLX4032 treatment and this was mainly due
 4859 |   to increased expression of c-Met. Effective inhibitions of c-Met, p-AKT,
 4860 |   and p-ERK were achieved after dual treatment with BRAF inhibitor
 4861 |   (PLX4032) and c-Met inhibitor (PHA665752). Similar results were
 4862 |   confirmed by in vivo study with orthotopic xenograft mouse model. c-Met-
 4863 |   mediated reactivation of the PI3K/AKT pathway and MAPK pathway
 4864 |   contributes to the relative insensitivity of BRAF (V600E) mutant
 4865 |   anaplastic thyroid cancer cells to PLX4032. Dual inhibition of BRAF and
 4866 |   c-Met leads to sustained treatment response. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals,

 4992 | Abstract:
 4993 |   No effective systemic treatment exists for malignant peripheral nerve
 4994 |   sheath tumors (MPNSTs). These tumors have been reported to show
 4995 |   increased activity in the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway from
 4996 |   the loss of neurofibromatosis-1 regulation and occasionally from BRAF
 4997 |   V600E mutation. A patient with sporadic metastatic MPNST and the BRAF
 4998 |   V600E mutation was treated with standard doses of sorafenib and later
 4999 |   vemurafenib and followed for response. The patient showed a rapid but
 5000 |   modest and transient response to sorafenib and a very dramatic response
 5001 |   to vemurafenib. This case represents the first report of successful
 5002 |   systemic treatment of MPNST with an inhibitor of the BRAF V600E
 5003 |   mutation. It will be important to define the general utility of this
 5004 |   approach and related therapies in this disease.

 5125 | Abstract:
 5126 |   Conjunctival malignant melanoma (CMM) is a rare malignancy and in the
 5127 |   advanced setting there is no effective treatment. In contrast, half of
 5128 |   cutaneous melanomas have BRAF mutations and treatment with BRAF
 5129 |   inhibitors is established for patients with disseminated disease. The
 5130 |   most common form of ocular melanoma, uveal melanoma, lacks these
 5131 |   mutations, however, their presence has been reported for CMM.We used the
 5132 |   BRAF inhibitor vemurafenib to treat a 53 year-old female suffering from
 5133 |   a BRAF(V600E) mutated metastatic CMM. The patient benefited from the
 5134 |   treatment, a response was evident within a week and she experienced a
 5135 |   progression free survival of four months.To our knowledge, this is the
 5136 |   first described case of response to vemurafenib treatment in a patient
 5137 |   with ocular melanoma.

 5203 | Abstract:
 5204 |   Since the prognosis of advanced cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) remains poor
 5205 |   with traditional chemotherapy, attention has shifted to molecularly
 5206 |   targeted agents. Results of available clinical studies reveal little or
 5207 |   no benefit of using targeted agents in advanced CCA. Limitations of
 5208 |   these trials could be the lack of comprehensive molecular and genetic
 5209 |   characterization of CCA samples in order to identify potential drug
 5210 |   targets. Here we report a case of a 59-year-old female with
 5211 |   chemotherapy-refractor, metastatic extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma
 5212 |   (EHCCA). After failure of first-line chemotherapy with cisplatin plus
 5213 |   gemcitabine, next generation sequencing (NGS) based tumor molecular
 5214 |   profiling was performed on aspiration cytological sample, that revealed
 5215 |   BRAF V600E mutation. Multidisciplinary team decided on the initiation of
 5216 |   combined treatment with BRAF and MEK inhibitors. Dabrafenib was started
 5217 |   orally 150 mg twice a day, adding trametinib 2 mg once a day. Right from
 5218 |   the initiation of targeted therapy, significant clinical improvement had
 5219 |   been observed. Even though the first restaging computed tomography (CT)
 5220 |   scan at 8 weeks revealed spectacular decrease in all metastatic sites, a
 5221 |   new hepatic mass of 67 mm × 40 mm was identified and interpreted as new
 5222 |   metastatic lesion. As the clinical and radiological response was
 5223 |   contradictory, CT-guided biopsy was taken from the hepatic lesion while
 5224 |   the therapy was continued on. Histopathologic evaluation excluded the
 5225 |   hepatic lesion from being a metastasis, instead described it as a
 5226 |   fibrotic, inflammatory lesion. At 12 week, PET CT confirmed further
 5227 |   tumor regression with complete regression of the multiple cerebral
 5228 |   metastases. The therapy has been extremely well tolerated by the
 5229 |   patient. According to our knowledge, this is the first reported case on
 5230 |   a successful treatment of EHCCA with the combination of dabrafenib and
 5231 |   trametinib. Our case highlights the importance of molecular profiling in
 5232 |   CCA, in order to find potential actionable driver mutations for
 5233 |   personalised treatment.

 5308 | Abstract:
 5309 |   Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) typically presents at an advanced
 5310 |   stage and is associated with a poor oncological outcome. The median
 5311 |   survival for metastatic ICC is less than 1 year with standard
 5312 |   chemotherapy. ICC is associated with distinct oncogenic drivers
 5313 |   including IDH (isocitrate dehydrogenase), HER-2 (human epidermal growth
 5314 |   factor 2), and BRAF (v-Raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B),
 5315 |   which may benefit from matching targeted therapies. Hereby we report 2
 5316 |   cases of BRAF V600E refractory ICC treated with dual BRAF and MEK
 5317 |   inhibitors (dabrafenib and trametinib) with excellent clinical and
 5318 |   radiological response to therapy and with protracted duration of disease
 5319 |   control. Our first patient achieved CR (complete remission) at 6 months
 5320 |   of treatment with ultimate disease progression at 9 months. The second
 5321 |   patient achieved a PR (partial response) at 2 months from starting
 5322 |   treatment and remains progression free at 5 months. Our results confirm
 5323 |   the activity of dual BRAF and MEK targeting in BRAF mutated ICC, adding
 5324 |   further support to 3 additional case-reports in the literature. Dual
 5325 |   targeting appears superior to other case reports with BRAF inhibition
 5326 |   alone and appear favorable to historic data with cytotoxic chemotherapy.
 5327 |   Given the poor outlook and refractoriness of BRAF mutant ICC, future
 5328 |   studies should focus on early integration of BRAF/MEK inhibition.

 5402 |   intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), with multiple metastatic lesions
 5403 |   within the liver, lungs, pleura, and bone, stage IV. Discussion of her
 5404 |   malignancy's next-generation sequencing genomic information at a
 5405 |   multidisciplinary molecular tumour board took place. The patient was
 5406 |   considered a suitable candidate for dual BRAF and MEK inhibition, with
 5407 |   the intent to prolong her survival and optimize the quality of life. We
 5408 |   report her excellent tolerance and exceptional response to dual therapy
 5409 |   with dabrafenib and trametinib, including symptomatic and sustained
 5410 |   near-complete radiological improvement. We also briefly review the
 5411 |   current knowledge of the genomics of cholangiocarcinoma with a focus on
 5412 |   BRAF mutations, and make a point of the importance of the establishment
 5413 |   of a molecular tumour board for personalized genomic medicine
 5414 |   approaches. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of the use
 5415 |   of personalized genomic information for the successful management of a
 5416 |   patient with ICC, and it is also the first description of dual BRAF and
 5417 |   MEK targeted therapy in this malignancy, leading to what is considered
 5418 |   an exceptional response.

 5487 | Abstract:
 5488 |   Purpose Detection of specific molecular alterations in tumors guides the
 5489 |   selection of effective targeted treatment of patients with several types
 5490 |   of cancer. These molecular alterations may occur in other tumor types
 5491 |   for which the efficacy of targeted therapy remains unclear. The
 5492 |   MyPathway study evaluates the efficacy and safety of selected targeted
 5493 |   therapies in tumor types that harbor relevant genetic alterations but
 5494 |   are outside of current labeling for these treatments. Methods MyPathway
 5495 |   ( ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02091141) is a multicenter,
 5496 |   nonrandomized, phase IIa multiple basket study. Patients with advanced
 5497 |   refractory solid tumors harboring molecular alterations in human
 5498 |   epidermal growth factor receptor-2, epidermal growth factor receptor,
 5499 |   v-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1, or the Hedgehog pathway
 5500 |   are treated with pertuzumab plus trastuzumab, erlotinib, vemurafenib, or
 5501 |   vismodegib, respectively. The primary end point is investigator-assessed
 5502 |   objective response rate within each tumor-pathway cohort. Results
 5503 |   Between April 1, 2014 and November 1, 2016, 251 patients with 35
 5504 |   different tumor types received study treatment. The efficacy population
 5505 |   contains 230 treated patients who were evaluated for response or
 5506 |   discontinued treatment before evaluation. Fifty-two patients (23%) with
 5507 |   14 different tumor types had objective responses (complete, n = 4;
 5508 |   partial, n = 48). Tumor-pathway cohorts with notable objective response
 5509 |   rates included human epidermal growth factor
 5510 |   receptor-2-amplified/overexpressing colorectal (38% [14 of 37]; 95% CI,
 5511 |   23% to 55%) and v-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1
 5512 |   V600-mutated non-small-cell lung cancer (43% [six of 14]; 95% CI, 18% to
 5513 |   71%). Conclusion The four currently approved targeted therapy regimens
 5514 |   in the MyPathway study produced meaningful responses when administered
 5515 |   without chemotherapy in several refractory solid tumor types not
 5516 |   currently labeled for these agents.

 5581 | Abstract:
 5582 |   Although BRAF inhibitor monotherapy yields response rates >50% in
 5583 |   BRAFV600-mutant melanoma, only approximately 5% of patients with
 5584 |   BRAFV600E colorectal cancer respond. Preclinical studies suggest that
 5585 |   the lack of efficacy in BRAFV600E colorectal cancer is due to adaptive
 5586 |   feedback reactivation of MAPK signaling, often mediated by EGFR. This
 5587 |   clinical trial evaluated BRAF and EGFR inhibition with dabrafenib (D) +
 5588 |   panitumumab (P) ± MEK inhibition with trametinib (T) to achieve greater
 5589 |   MAPK suppression and improved efficacy in 142 patients with BRAFV600E
 5590 |   colorectal cancer. Confirmed response rates for D+P, D+T+P, and T+P were
 5591 |   10%, 21%, and 0%, respectively. Pharmacodynamic analysis of paired
 5592 |   pretreatment and on-treatment biopsies found that efficacy of D+T+P
 5593 |   correlated with increased MAPK suppression. Serial cell-free DNA
 5594 |   analysis revealed additional correlates of response and emergence of
 5595 |   KRAS and NRAS mutations on disease progression. Thus, targeting adaptive
 5596 |   feedback pathways in BRAFV600E colorectal cancer can improve efficacy,
 5597 |   but MAPK reactivation remains an important primary and acquired
 5598 |   resistance mechanism.Significance: This trial demonstrates that combined
 5599 |   BRAF + EGFR + MEK inhibition is tolerable, with promising activity in
 5600 |   patients with BRAFV600E colorectal cancer. Our findings highlight the
 5601 |   MAPK pathway as a critical target in BRAFV600E colorectal cancer and the
 5602 |   need to optimize strategies inhibiting this pathway to overcome both
 5603 |   primary and acquired resistance. Cancer Discov; 8(4); 428-43. ©2018

 5683 | Abstract:
 5684 |   We address the prognostic and predictive value of KRAS, PIK3CA and BRAF
 5685 |   mutations for clinical outcomes in response to active agents in the
 5686 |   treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC).We determined KRAS,
 5687 |   BRAF and PIK3CA mutations in tumours from 168 patients treated for mCRC
 5688 |   at two institutions. All patients received 5-FU-based first-line
 5689 |   chemotherapy and treatment outcome was analysed retrospectively.KRAS,
 5690 |   BRAF and PIK3CA mutations were present in 62 (37%), 13 (8%) and 26 (15%)
 5691 |   cases, respectively. Multivariate analysis uncovered BRAF mutation as an
 5692 |   independent prognostic factor for decreased survival (hazard ratio (HR)
 5693 |   4.0, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.1-7.6). In addition, patients with
 5694 |   BRAF-mutant tumours had significantly lower progression-free survival
 5695 |   (PFS: HR 4.0, 95% CI 2.2-7.4) than those whose tumors that carried wild-
 5696 |   type BRAF. Among 92 patients treated using chemotherapy and cetuximab as
 5697 |   salvage therapy, KRAS mutation was associated with lack of response
 5698 |   (P=0.002) and shorter PFS (P=0.09). BRAF (P=0.0005) and PIK3CA (P=0.01)
 5699 |   mutations also predicted reduced PFS in response to cetuximab salvage
 5700 |   therapy.These results underscore the potential of mutational profiling
 5701 |   to identify CRCs with different natural histories or treatment
 5702 |   responses. The adverse significance of BRAF mutation should inform
 5703 |   patient selection and stratification in clinical trials.

 5864 | Abstract:
 5865 |   BRAF(V600E) is the most frequent genetic mutation in papillary thyroid
 5866 |   cancer (PTC) and has been reported as an independent predictor of poor
 5867 |   prognosis of these patients. Current guidelines do not recommend the use
 5868 |   of BRAF(V600E) mutational analysis on cytologic specimens from fine
 5869 |   needle aspiration due to several reasons. Recently, immunohistochemistry
 5870 |   using VE1, a mouse anti-human BRAF(V600E) antibody, has been reported as
 5871 |   a highly reliable technique in detecting BRAF-mutated thyroid and
 5872 |   nonthyroid cancers. The aim of this study was to test the reliability of
 5873 |   VE1 immunohistochemistry on microhistologic samples from core needle
 5874 |   biopsy (CNB) in identifying BRAF-mutated PTC. A series of 30 nodules
 5875 |   (size ranging from 7 to 22 mm) from 30 patients who underwent surgery
 5876 |   following CNB were included in the study. All these lesions had had
 5877 |   inconclusive cytology. In all cases, both VE1 and BRAF(V600E) genotypes
 5878 |   were evaluated. After surgery, final histology demonstrated 21 cancers
 5879 |   and 9 benign lesions. CNB correctly diagnosed 20/20 PTC and 5/5
 5880 |   adenomatous nodules. One follicular thyroid cancer and 4 benign lesions
 5881 |   were assessed at CNB as uncertain follicular neoplasm. VE1
 5882 |   immunohistochemistry revealed 8 mutated PTC and 22 negative cases. A
 5883 |   100% agreement was found when positive and negative VE1 results were
 5884 |   compared with BRAF mutational status. These data are the first
 5885 |   demonstration that VE1 immunohistochemistry performed on thyroid CNB
 5886 |   samples perfectly matches with genetic analysis of BRAF status. Thus,
 5887 |   VE1 antibody can be used on thyroid microhistologic specimens to detect
 5888 |   BRAF(V600E)-mutated PTC before surgery.

 5909 | Description:
 5910 |   In this Phase III trial (NCT01584648 COMBI-d), previously untreated
 5911 |   patients with unresectable stage IIIC or IV melanoma with BRAF V600E
 5912 |   (359 patients) or V600K (61 patients) received dabrafenib and trametinib
 5913 |   or dabrafenib alone with primary endpoint of progression free survival
 5914 |   and secondary endpoints including disease response. The hazard ratio for
 5915 |   progression or death in the V600E group was 0.81 for dabrafenib-
 5916 |   trametinib vs dabrafenib-alone. Of 179 V600E patients in the dabrafenib-
 5917 |   trametinib group, 68% of patients had a response, which was 15
 5918 |   percentage points higher than in the dabrafenib-alone group (95% CI, 4
 5919 |   to 24; P=0.006).

 5953 | Abstract:
 5954 |   Combined BRAF and MEK inhibition, as compared with BRAF inhibition
 5955 |   alone, delays the emergence of resistance and reduces toxic effects in
 5956 |   patients who have melanoma with BRAF V600E or V600K mutations.In this
 5957 |   phase 3 trial, we randomly assigned 423 previously untreated patients
 5958 |   who had unresectable stage IIIC or stage IV melanoma with a BRAF V600E
 5959 |   or V600K mutation to receive a combination of dabrafenib (150 mg orally
 5960 |   twice daily) and trametinib (2 mg orally once daily) or dabrafenib and
 5961 |   placebo. The primary end point was progression-free survival. Secondary
 5962 |   end points included overall survival, response rate, response duration,
 5963 |   and safety. A preplanned interim overall survival analysis was
 5964 |   conducted.The median progression-free survival was 9.3 months in the
 5965 |   dabrafenib-trametinib group and 8.8 months in the dabrafenib-only group
 5966 |   (hazard ratio for progression or death in the dabrafenib-trametinib
 5967 |   group, 0.75; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.57 to 0.99; P=0.03). The
 5968 |   overall response rate was 67% in the dabrafenib-trametinib group and 51%
 5969 |   in the dabrafenib-only group (P=0.002). At 6 months, the interim overall
 5970 |   survival rate was 93% with dabrafenib-trametinib and 85% with dabrafenib
 5971 |   alone (hazard ratio for death, 0.63; 95% CI, 0.42 to 0.94; P=0.02).
 5972 |   However, a specified efficacy-stopping boundary (two-sided P=0.00028)
 5973 |   was not crossed. Rates of adverse events were similar in the two groups,
 5974 |   although more dose modifications occurred in the dabrafenib-trametinib
 5975 |   group. The rate of cutaneous squamous-cell carcinoma was lower in the
 5976 |   dabrafenib-trametinib group than in the dabrafenib-only group (2% vs.
 5977 |   9%), whereas pyrexia occurred in more patients (51% vs. 28%) and was
 5978 |   more often severe (grade 3, 6% vs. 2%) in the dabrafenib-trametinib
 5979 |   group.A combination of dabrafenib and trametinib, as compared with
 5980 |   dabrafenib alone, improved the rate of progression-free survival in
 5981 |   previously untreated patients who had metastatic melanoma with BRAF
 5982 |   V600E or V600K mutations. (Funded by GlaxoSmithKline; Clinical

 6059 | Abstract:
 6060 |   Background: BRAFV600E mutation is present in a subset of pediatric brain
 6061 |   tumors. Vemurafenib is an oral, selective ATP-competitive inhibitor of
 6062 |   BRAFV600E kinase. The goal of this multi-center study conducted through
 6063 |   the Pacific Pediatric Neuro-Oncology Consortium (PNOC) was to determine
 6064 |   the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) and dose limiting toxicities (DLTs)
 6065 |   in children < 18 years with recurrent or progressive BRAFV600E mutant
 6066 |   brain tumors. Results: Nineteen eligible patients were enrolled. Eleven
 6067 |   patients had received three or more prior therapies. Data reported are
 6068 |   from the start of treatment for the first patient (April 30 2014)
 6069 |   through August 31 2019. The RP2D was defined as 550 mg/m2 twice daily
 6070 |   after DLT criteria adjustment for rash. Related grade ≥ 3 adverse events
 6071 |   included secondary keratoacanthoma (n = 1); rash (n =16); and fever (n =
 6072 |   5). Subjects received a median of 23 cycles (range 3-63). Four patients
 6073 |   remain on treatment. Centrally reviewed best radiographic responses
 6074 |   included 1 complete response, 5 partial responses, and 13 stable
 6075 |   disease. The steady-state area under the curve (AUC0-∞median) was 604
 6076 |   mg*h/L (range 329-1052). Methods: Vemurafenib was given starting at 550
 6077 |   mg/m2, twice daily which corresponds to the adult RP2D. Adverse events
 6078 |   were graded using the NIH Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events
 6079 |   (CTCAE) version 4.0. Central imaging review was performed.
 6080 |   Pharmacokinetic sampling was performed. Conclusions: Vemurafenib has
 6081 |   promising anti-tumor activity in recurrent BRAF V600E-positive brain
 6082 |   tumors with manageable toxicity. A phase 2 study is ongoing
 6083 |   (NCT01748149).

 6155 | Abstract:
 6156 |   Mutations within the KRAS proto-oncogene have predictive value but are
 6157 |   of uncertain prognostic value in the treatment of advanced colorectal
 6158 |   cancer. We took advantage of PETACC-3, an adjuvant trial with 3,278
 6159 |   patients with stage II to III colon cancer, to evaluate the prognostic
 6160 |   value of KRAS and BRAF tumor mutation status in this setting.Formalin-
 6161 |   fixed paraffin-embedded tissue blocks (n = 1,564) were prospectively
 6162 |   collected and DNA was extracted from tissue sections from 1,404 cases.
 6163 |   Planned analysis of KRAS exon 2 and BRAF exon 15 mutations was performed
 6164 |   by allele-specific real-time polymerase chain reaction. Survival
 6165 |   analyses were based on univariate and multivariate proportional hazard
 6166 |   regression models.KRAS and BRAF tumor mutation rates were 37.0% and
 6167 |   7.9%, respectively, and were not significantly different according to
 6168 |   tumor stage. In a multivariate analysis containing stage, tumor site,
 6169 |   nodal status, sex, age, grade, and microsatellite instability (MSI)
 6170 |   status, KRAS mutation was associated with grade (P = .0016), while BRAF
 6171 |   mutation was significantly associated with female sex (P = .017), and
 6172 |   highly significantly associated with right-sided tumors, older age, high
 6173 |   grade, and MSI-high tumors (all P < 10(-4)). In univariate and
 6174 |   multivariate analysis, KRAS mutations did not have a major prognostic
 6175 |   value regarding relapse-free survival (RFS) or overall survival (OS).
 6176 |   BRAF mutation was not prognostic for RFS, but was for OS, particularly
 6177 |   in patients with MSI-low (MSI-L) and stable (MSI-S) tumors (hazard
 6178 |   ratio, 2.2; 95% CI, 1.4 to 3.4; P = .0003).In stage II-III colon cancer,
 6179 |   the KRAS mutation status does not have major prognostic value. BRAF is
 6180 |   prognostic for OS in MS-L/S tumors.

 6246 | Abstract:
 6247 |   Background: BRAF mutations are present in ~44% of papillary thyroid
 6248 |   carcinoma (PTC) and its role in development of PTC is well established.
 6249 |   We hypothesized that dabrafenib (BRAF inhibitor) would have efficacy in
 6250 |   BRAF mutated PTC and that combining it with trametinib (MEK inhibitor)
 6251 |   would result in greater clinical efficacy than dabrafenib alone, through
 6252 |   vertical inhibition of the RAF/MAP/ERK pathway and mitigation of
 6253 |   potential mechanisms of resistance. Methods: Patients (pts) with BRAF
 6254 |   mutated radioiodine refractory PTC who had evidence of disease
 6255 |   progression within 13 months prior were randomized to Arm A (dabrafenib
 6256 |   150 mg PO BID) or Arm B (dabrafenib 150 mg PO BID + trametinib 2 mg PO
 6257 |   qd). Cross-over to Arm B was allowed at time of progression. Responses
 6258 |   were assessed by modified RECISTv1.1 every 2 months. Primary endpoint
 6259 |   was objective response rate (ORR) (complete-, partial- and minor-
 6260 |   response). With assumed true ORR of 15% vs 35%; and 90% power to
 6261 |   identify the correct regimen as most promising, 26 pts were to be
 6262 |   accrued in each Arm. Results: In this randomized phase 2 trial, 53 pts
 6263 |   (median age 63 years, 38 females) were enrolled; 25% of pts had 1-3
 6264 |   prior therapy with multi-kinase inhibitors. Median follow up was 13
 6265 |   months. Preliminary efficacy results are outlined in Table. The
 6266 |   treatment-related adverse events were similar to previously reported
 6267 |   phase III clinical trial of these drugs in melanoma. Conclusions: Single
 6268 |   agent dabrafenib, as well as combination of dabrafenib/trametinib are

 6344 | Abstract:
 6345 |   BRAFV600 mutations are commonly found in melanoma and thyroid cancers
 6346 |   and to a lesser degree in other tumor types. Subprotocol H (EAY131-H) of
 6347 |   the NCI-MATCH platform trial sought to investigate the selective BRAF
 6348 |   inhibitor dabrafenib and the MEK1/2 inhibitor trametinib in patients
 6349 |   with solid tumors, lymphomas, or multiple myeloma whose tumors harbored
 6350 |   a BRAFV600 mutation.EAY131-H is an open-label, single-arm study.
 6351 |   Patients with melanoma, thyroid, or colorectal cancer were excluded;
 6352 |   patients with non-small-cell lung cancer were later excluded in an
 6353 |   amendment. Patients received dabrafenib 150 mg twice per day and
 6354 |   trametinib 2 mg per day continuously until disease progression or
 6355 |   intolerable toxicity. The primary end point was centrally assessed
 6356 |   objective response rate (ORR); secondary end points included
 6357 |   progression-free survival (PFS), 6-month PFS, and overall
 6358 |   survival.Thirty-five patients were enrolled, and 29 were included in the
 6359 |   primary efficacy analysis as prespecified in the protocol. Median age
 6360 |   was 59 years, and 45% of the patients had received ≥ 3 lines of therapy.
 6361 |   The confirmed ORR was 38% (90% CI, 22.9% to 54.9%) with P < .0001
 6362 |   against a null rate of 5%, and PFS was 11.4 months (90% CI, 8.4 to 16.3
 6363 |   months); responses were seen in 7 distinct tumor types. Seven patients
 6364 |   had a duration of response of > 12 months, including 4 patients with a
 6365 |   duration of response of > 24 months. An additional 8 patients had a PFS
 6366 |   > 6 months. The median overall survival was 28.6 months. Reported
 6367 |   adverse events were comparable to those noted in previously reported
 6368 |   profiles of dabrafenib and trametinib.This study met its primary end
 6369 |   point, with an ORR of 38% (P < .0001) in this mixed histology,
 6370 |   pretreated cohort. This promising activity warrants additional
 6371 |   investigations in BRAFV600-mutated tumors outside of currently approved
 6372 |   indications.

 6408 | Description:
 6409 |   This preclinical study examined vemurafenib efficacy on various
 6410 |   colorectal cancer cell lines and in mouse xenograft experiments. Of the
 6411 |   cell lines tested, six harbored BRAF V600E (and WT KRAS) and three
 6412 |   harbored BRAF WT (but mutant KRAS). Of the six BRAF V600E expressing
 6413 |   cell lines, four were sensitive to vemurafenib (IC50 ranging between
 6414 |   0.025 and 0.35 uM; HT29, Colo205, Colo741, LS411N). Cell lines
 6415 |   expressing the BRAF V600E mutation responded better to vemurafenib
 6416 |   treatment than cells wildtype for BRAF as measured by reduced cellular
 6417 |   proliferation and inhibition of MET and ERK phosphorylation (none of the
 6418 |   three BRAF wt cell lines had IC50s less than 10uM). Authors note that
 6419 |   one of the vemurafenib-resistant cell lines harboring BRAF V600E (RKO)
 6420 |   harbored a concurrent activating PIK3CA H1047R mutation. Nude, athymic
 6421 |   mice with HT29 xenografts treated with vemurafenib experienced
 6422 |   substantial tumor inhibition and increased lifespan at every dose
 6423 |   tested, though authors found 75 mg/kg twice daily to be optimal (95%
 6424 |   tumor growth inhibition, 90% increased lifespan compared to vehicle
 6425 |   treated controls).

 6456 | Abstract:
 6457 |   The protein kinase BRAF is a key component of the RAS-RAF signaling
 6458 |   pathway which plays an important role in regulating cell proliferation,
 6459 |   differentiation, and survival. Mutations in BRAF at codon 600 promote
 6460 |   catalytic activity and are associated with 8% of all human (solid)
 6461 |   tumors, including 8% to 10% of colorectal cancers (CRC). Here, we report
 6462 |   the preclinical characterization of vemurafenib (RG7204; PLX4032;
 6463 |   RO5185426), a first-in-class, specific small molecule inhibitor of
 6464 |   BRAF(V600E) in BRAF-mutated CRC cell lines and tumor xenograft models.
 6465 |   As a single agent, vemurafenib shows dose-dependent inhibition of ERK
 6466 |   and MEK phosphorylation, thereby arresting cell proliferation in
 6467 |   BRAF(V600)-expressing cell lines and inhibiting tumor growth in
 6468 |   BRAF(V600E) bearing xenograft models. Because vemurafenib has shown
 6469 |   limited single-agent clinical activity in BRAF(V600E)-mutant metastatic
 6470 |   CRC, we therefore explored a range of combination therapies, with both
 6471 |   standard agents and targeted inhibitors in preclinical xenograft models.
 6472 |   In a BRAF-mutant CRC xenograft model with de novo resistance to
 6473 |   vemurafenib (RKO), tumor growth inhibition by vemurafenib was enhanced
 6474 |   by combining with an AKT inhibitor (MK-2206). The addition of
 6475 |   vemurafenib to capecitabine and/or bevacizumab, cetuximab and/or
 6476 |   irinotecan, or erlotinib resulted in increased antitumor activity and
 6477 |   improved survival in xenograft models. Together, our findings suggest
 6478 |   that the administration of vemurafenib in combination with standard-of-
 6479 |   care or novel targeted therapies may lead to enhanced and sustained
 6480 |   clinical antitumor efficacy in CRCs harboring the BRAF(V600E) mutation.

 6643 | Abstract:
 6644 |   Identifying rectal cancer patients at risk for local recurrence would
 6645 |   allow for refinement in the selection of patients who would benefit from
 6646 |   preoperative radiotherapy. PIK3CA, KRAS, and BRAF mutations are commonly
 6647 |   found in colon cancers, but their prevalence has not been clearly
 6648 |   assessed in rectal cancer. In this study, we aim to determine the
 6649 |   mutation frequencies of PIK3CA, KRAS, and BRAF and to investigate
 6650 |   whether a mutation may be used as a prognostic parameter in rectal
 6651 |   cancer patients.We evaluated DNA mutations in PIK3CA, KRAS, and BRAF in
 6652 |   240 stage I to III rectal tumors obtained from nonirradiated patients
 6653 |   from the Dutch Total Mesorectal Excision trial.PIK3CA, KRAS, and BRAF
 6654 |   mutations were identified in 19 (7.9%), 81 (33.9%), and 5 (2.1%) rectal
 6655 |   cancers. Patients with PIK3CA mutations developed more local recurrences
 6656 |   (5-year risks, 27.8% versus 9.4%; P = 0.006) and tended to develop these
 6657 |   recurrences more rapidly after surgery (median local recurrence-free
 6658 |   interval since surgery: 7.9 versus 19.6 months; P = 0.07) than patients
 6659 |   without PIK3CA mutations. In multivariate analysis, PIK3CA mutations
 6660 |   remained as an independent predictor for the development of local
 6661 |   recurrences (hazard ratio, 3.4; 95% confidence interval, 1.2-9.2; P =
 6662 |   0.017), next to tumor-node-metastasis stage.PIK3CA mutations can be used
 6663 |   as a biomarker in identifying rectal cancer patients with an increased
 6664 |   risk for local recurrences. Currently, our findings suggest that
 6665 |   prospective evaluation of PIK3CA mutation status could reduce
 6666 |   overtreatment by preoperative radiotherapy for the low-risk patients who
 6667 |   might otherwise only experience the side effects.

 6800 | Abstract:
 6801 |   The identification of somatic mutations in the gene encoding the serine-
 6802 |   threonine protein kinase B-RAF (BRAF) in the majority of melanomas
 6803 |   offers an opportunity to test oncogene-targeted therapy for this
 6804 |   disease.We conducted a multicenter, phase 1, dose-escalation trial of
 6805 |   PLX4032 (also known as RG7204), an orally available inhibitor of mutated
 6806 |   BRAF, followed by an extension phase involving the maximum dose that
 6807 |   could be administered without adverse effects (the recommended phase 2
 6808 |   dose). Patients received PLX4032 twice daily until they had disease
 6809 |   progression. Pharmacokinetic analysis and tumor-response assessments
 6810 |   were conducted in all patients. In selected patients, tumor biopsy was
 6811 |   performed before and during treatment to validate BRAF inhibition.A
 6812 |   total of 55 patients (49 of whom had melanoma) were enrolled in the
 6813 |   dose-escalation phase, and 32 additional patients with metastatic
 6814 |   melanoma who had BRAF with the V600E mutation were enrolled in the
 6815 |   extension phase. The recommended phase 2 dose was 960 mg twice daily,
 6816 |   with increases in the dose limited by grade 2 or 3 rash, fatigue, and
 6817 |   arthralgia. In the dose-escalation cohort, among the 16 patients with
 6818 |   melanoma whose tumors carried the V600E BRAF mutation and who were
 6819 |   receiving 240 mg or more of PLX4032 twice daily, 10 had a partial
 6820 |   response and 1 had a complete response. Among the 32 patients in the
 6821 |   extension cohort, 24 had a partial response and 2 had a complete
 6822 |   response. The estimated median progression-free survival among all
 6823 |   patients was more than 7 months.Treatment of metastatic melanoma with
 6824 |   PLX4032 in patients with tumors that carry the V600E BRAF mutation
 6825 |   resulted in complete or partial tumor regression in the majority of
 6826 |   patients. (Funded by Plexxikon and Roche Pharmaceuticals.)

 6891 | Abstract:
 6892 |   Kinase inhibitors targeting the BRAF V600 mutation have become standard
 6893 |   in the treatment of metastatic melanoma. Albeit in wide clinical use,
 6894 |   the patterns associated with therapy outcome are not fully elucidated.
 6895 |   The present study was aimed to identify predictive factors of therapy
 6896 |   response and survival under the BRAF inhibitor vemurafenib.This
 6897 |   multicenter retrospective study analyzed patient, tumor, and
 6898 |   pretreatment characteristics collected in BRAF V600-mutated stage IV
 6899 |   melanoma patients before single-agent therapy with the BRAF inhibitor
 6900 |   vemurafenib.A total of 300 patients from 14 centers were included into
 6901 |   this study with a median follow-up time of 13.0 months. Median
 6902 |   progression-free survival (PFS) was 5.1 months; median overall survival
 6903 |   (OS) was 7.6 months. Best response under vemurafenib was associated with
 6904 |   serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH; ≤ versus >upper normal limit; P =
 6905 |   0.0000001), Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) overall
 6906 |   performance status (OPS) (0 versus ≥ 1; P = 0.00089), and BRAF mutation
 6907 |   subtype (V600E versus V600K; P = 0.016). Multivariate analysis
 6908 |   identified ECOG OPS ≥ 1 [hazard ratio (HR) = 1.88; P = 0.00005],
 6909 |   immunotherapy pretreatment (HR = 0.53; P = 0.0067), elevated serum LDH
 6910 |   (HR = 1.45; P = 0.012), age >55 years (HR = 0.72; P = 0.019), and
 6911 |   chemotherapy pretreatment (HR = 1.39; P = 0.036) as independent
 6912 |   predictors of PFS. For OS, elevated serum LDH (HR = 1.99; P = 0.00012),
 6913 |   ECOG OPS ≥ 1 (HR = 1.90; P = 0.00063), age >55 years (HR = 0.65; P =
 6914 |   0.011), kinase inhibitor pretreatment (HR = 1.86; P = 0.014),
 6915 |   immunotherapy pretreatment (HR = 0.57; P = 0.025), chemotherapy
 6916 |   pretreatment (HR = 2.17; P = 0.039), and male gender (HR = 0.70; 95%
 6917 |   confidence interval 0.50-0.98; P = 0.039) were found as predictors.Our
 6918 |   data demonstrate that the type of pretreatment strongly influences the
 6919 |   outcome of vemurafenib therapy, with a precedent immunotherapy showing a
 6920 |   positive, and a prior chemotherapy and kinase inhibitors showing a
 6921 |   negative impact on survival, respectively. Moreover, we show that the
 6922 |   patient's OPS, serum LDH, age, and gender independently impact
 6923 |   vemurafenib therapy outcome. These findings should be taken into account
 6924 |   for the future design of therapy sequencing in BRAF V600 mutation-
 6925 |   positive melanoma patients.

 6989 | Abstract:
 6990 |   Low-grade serous ovarian adenocarcinomas (LGSOC) make up approximately
 6991 |   10 % of serous ovarian carcinomas. While rarely aggressive, this slow-
 6992 |   growing tumor is well known to respond poorly to chemotherapy. Specific
 6993 |   treatments for this ovarian subtype are lacking, with the same global
 6994 |   approaches used for high grade cases being applied for LGSOC patients.
 6995 |   LGSOCs have been reported to have a specific genetic profile, with
 6996 |   notable implication of the MAPK pathway. This has opened up
 6997 |   opportunities for novel therapeutic strategies, with in particular the
 6998 |   use of targeted therapies. We report here the case of a heavily
 6999 |   pretreated unresectable BRAF p.V600E-mutated LGSOC, which we treated
 7000 |   vemurafenib, a BRAF inhibitor specific for V600E mutations. We saw
 7001 |   impressive efficacy, with a long-term partial response along with CA125
 7002 |   reductions and symptom relief. Although this mutation is present in
 7003 |   LGSOC at very a low incidence, we recommend routine testing for BRAF and
 7004 |   other targetable mutations in this patient population, along with
 7005 |   further evaluation in the increasingly popular basket trial approach.

 7129 |   Pediatric low-grade gliomas (PLGGs) consist of a number of entities with
 7130 |   overlapping histological features. PLGGs have much better prognosis than
 7131 |   the adult counterparts, but a significant proportion of PLGGs suffers
 7132 |   from tumor progression and recurrence. It has been shown that pediatric
 7133 |   and adult low-grade gliomas are molecularly distinct. Yet the clinical
 7134 |   significance of some of newer biomarkers discovered by genomic studies
 7135 |   has not been fully investigated. In this study, we evaluated in a large
 7136 |   cohort of 289 PLGGs a list of biomarkers and examined their clinical
 7137 |   relevance. TERT promoter (TERTp), H3F3A and BRAF V600E mutations were
 7138 |   detected by direct sequencing. ATRX nuclear loss was examined by
 7139 |   immunohistochemistry. CDKN2A deletion, KIAA1549-BRAF fusion, and MYB
 7140 |   amplification were determined by fluorescence in situ hybridization
 7141 |   (FISH). TERTp, H3F3A, and BRAF V600E mutations were identified in 2.5,
 7142 |   6.4, and 7.4% of PLGGs, respectively. ATRX loss was found in 4.9% of
 7143 |   PLGGs. CDKN2A deletion, KIAA1549-BRAF fusion and MYB amplification were
 7144 |   detected in 8.8, 32.0 and 10.6% of PLGGs, respectively. Survival
 7145 |   analysis revealed that TERTp mutation, H3F3A mutation, and ATRX loss
 7146 |   were significantly associated with poor PFS (p < 0.0001, p < 0.0001, and
 7147 |   p = 0.0002) and OS (p < 0.0001, p < 0.0001, and p < 0.0001). BRAF V600E
 7148 |   was associated with shorter PFS (p = 0.011) and OS (p = 0.032) in a
 7149 |   subset of PLGGs. KIAA1549-BRAF fusion was a good prognostic marker for
 7150 |   longer PFS (p = 0.0017) and OS (p = 0.0029). MYB amplification was also
 7151 |   a favorable marker for a longer PFS (p = 0.040). Importantly, we showed
 7152 |   that these molecular biomarkers can be used to stratify PLGGs into low-
 7153 |   (KIAA1549-BRAF fusion or MYB amplification), intermediate-I (BRAF V600E
 7154 |   and/or CDKN2A deletion), intermediate-II (no biomarker), and high-risk
 7155 |   (TERTp or H3F3A mutation or ATRX loss) groups with distinct PFS (p <
 7156 |   0.0001) and OS (p < 0.0001). This scheme should aid in clinical
 7157 |   decision-making.

 7233 | Abstract:
 7234 |   Purpose We report the efficacy and safety of dabrafenib (BRAF inhibitor)
 7235 |   and trametinib (MEK inhibitor) combination therapy in BRAF V600E-mutated
 7236 |   anaplastic thyroid cancer, a rare, aggressive, and highly lethal
 7237 |   malignancy with poor patient outcomes and no systemic therapies with
 7238 |   clinical benefit. Methods In this phase II, open-label trial, patients
 7239 |   with predefined BRAF V600E-mutated malignancies received dabrafenib 150
 7240 |   mg twice daily and trametinib 2 mg once daily until unacceptable
 7241 |   toxicity, disease progression, or death. The primary end point was
 7242 |   investigator-assessed overall response rate. Secondary end points
 7243 |   included duration of response, progression-free survival, overall
 7244 |   survival, and safety. Results Sixteen patients with BRAF V600E-mutated
 7245 |   anaplastic thyroid cancer were evaluable (median follow-up, 47 weeks;
 7246 |   range, 4 to 120 weeks). All patients had received prior radiation
 7247 |   treatment and/or surgery, and six had received prior systemic therapy.
 7248 |   The confirmed overall response rate was 69% (11 of 16; 95% CI, 41% to
 7249 |   89%), with seven ongoing responses. Median duration of response,
 7250 |   progression-free survival, and overall survival were not reached as a
 7251 |   result of a lack of events, with 12-month estimates of 90%, 79%, and
 7252 |   80%, respectively. The safety population was composed of 100 patients
 7253 |   who were enrolled with seven rare tumor histologies. Common adverse
 7254 |   events were fatigue (38%), pyrexia (37%), and nausea (35%). No new
 7255 |   safety signals were detected. Conclusion Dabrafenib plus trametinib is
 7256 |   the first regimen demonstrated to have robust clinical activity in BRAF
 7257 |   V600E-mutated anaplastic thyroid cancer and was well tolerated. These
 7258 |   findings represent a meaningful therapeutic advance for this orphan
 7259 |   disease.

 7337 | Abstract:
 7338 |   BRAF V600E mutant metastatic colorectal cancer represents a significant
 7339 |   clinical problem, with combination approaches being developed clinically
 7340 |   with oral BRAF inhibitors combined with EGFR-targeting antibodies. While
 7341 |   compelling preclinical data have highlighted the effectiveness of
 7342 |   combination therapy with vemurafenib and small-molecule EGFR inhibitors,
 7343 |   gefitinib or erlotinib, in colorectal cancer, this therapeutic strategy
 7344 |   has not been investigated in clinical studies.We conducted a phase Ib/II
 7345 |   dose-escalation/expansion trial investigating the safety/efficacy of the
 7346 |   BRAF inhibitor vemurafenib and EGFR inhibitor erlotinib.Thirty-two
 7347 |   patients with BRAF V600E positive metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC)
 7348 |   and 7 patients with other cancers were enrolled. No dose-limiting
 7349 |   toxicities were observed in escalation, with vemurafenib 960 mg twice
 7350 |   daily with erlotinib 150 mg daily selected as the recommended phase II
 7351 |   dose. Among 31 evaluable patients with mCRC and 7 with other cancers,
 7352 |   overall response rates were 32% [10/31, 16% (5/31) confirmed] and 43%
 7353 |   (3/7), respectively, with clinical benefit rates of 65% and 100%. Early

 7359 |   Combination Trial study demonstrated a safe and novel combination of two
 7360 |   oral inhibitors targeting BRAF and EGFR. The dynamic assessment of
 7361 |   serial ctDNA was a useful measure of underlying genomic changes in
 7362 |   response to this combination and in understanding potential mechanisms

 7444 |   cetuximab in patients with BRAFV600E-mutant metastatic colorectal cancer
 7445 |   (mCRC), after progression on 1-2 prior regimens. In the previously
 7446 |   reported primary analysis, encorafenib, binimetinib plus cetuximab
 7447 |   (ENCO/BINI/CETUX; triplet) and encorafenib plus cetuximab (ENCO/CETUX;
 7448 |   doublet) regimens improved overall survival (OS) and objective response
 7449 |   rate (ORR; by blinded central review) versus standard of care. The
 7450 |   purpose of this analysis was to report updated efficacy and safety
 7451 |   data.In this open-label, phase III trial, 665 patients with BRAF
 7452 |   V600E-mutant mCRC were randomly assigned 1:1:1 to receive triplet,
 7453 |   doublet, or control. Primary end points were OS and independently
 7454 |   reviewed ORR comparing triplet to control. OS for doublet versus control
 7455 |   was a key secondary end point. Updated analyses include 6 months of
 7456 |   additional follow-up and ORR for all randomized patients.Patients
 7457 |   received triplet (n = 224), doublet (n = 220), or control (n = 221).
 7458 |   Median OS was 9.3 months (95% CI, 8.2 to 10.8) for triplet and 5.9
 7459 |   months (95% CI, 5.1 to 7.1) for control (hazard ratio [HR], 0.60 [95%
 7460 |   CI, 0.47 to 0.75]). Median OS for doublet was 9.3 months (95% CI, 8.0 to
 7461 |   11.3) (HR v control, 0.61 [95% CI, 0.48 to 0.77]). Confirmed ORR was
 7462 |   26.8% (95% CI, 21.1% to 33.1%) for triplet, 19.5% (95% CI, 14.5% to
 7463 |   25.4%) for doublet, and 1.8% (95% CI, 0.5% to 4.6%) for control. Adverse
 7464 |   events were consistent with the prior primary analysis, with grade ≥ 3
 7465 |   adverse events in 65.8%, 57.4%, and 64.2% for triplet, doublet, and
 7466 |   control, respectively.In the BEACON CRC study, encorafenib plus
 7467 |   cetuximab improved OS, ORR, and progression-free survival in previously
 7468 |   treated patients in the metastatic setting compared with standard
 7469 |   chemotherapy. Based on the primary and updated analyses, encorafenib
 7470 |   plus cetuximab is a new standard care regimen for previously treated
 7471 |   patients with BRAF V600E mCRC.

 7545 | Abstract:
 7546 |   Dabrafenib, an inhibitor of mutated BRAF, has clinical activity with a
 7547 |   manageable safety profile in studies of phase 1 and 2 in patients with
 7548 |   BRAF(V600)-mutated metastatic melanoma. We studied the efficacy of
 7549 |   dabrafenib in patients with BRAF(V600E)-mutated metastatic melanoma.We
 7550 |   enrolled patients in this open-label phase 3 trial between Dec 23, 2010,
 7551 |   and Sept 1, 2011. This report is based on a data cutoff date of Dec 19,
 7552 |   2011. Patients aged 18 years or older with previously untreated, stage
 7553 |   IV or unresectable stage III BRAF(V600E) mutation-positive melanoma were
 7554 |   randomly assigned (3:1) to receive dabrafenib (150 mg twice daily,
 7555 |   orally) or dacarbazine (1000 mg/m(2) intravenously every 3 weeks).
 7556 |   Patients were stratified according to American Joint Committee on Cancer
 7557 |   stage (unresectable III+IVM1a+IVM1b vs IVM1c). The primary endpoint was
 7558 |   investigator-assessed progression-free survival and was analysed by
 7559 |   intention to treat; safety was assessed per protocol. This study is
 7560 |   registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT01227889.Of the 733
 7561 |   patients screened, 250 were randomly assigned to receive either
 7562 |   dabrafenib (187 patients) or dacarbazine (63 patients). Median
 7563 |   progression-free survival was 5·1 months for dabrafenib and 2·7 months
 7564 |   for dacarbazine, with a hazard ratio (HR) of 0·30 (95% CI 0·18-0·51;
 7565 |   p<0·0001). At data cutoff, 107 (57%) patients in the dabrafenib group
 7566 |   and 14 (22%) in the dacarbazine group remained on randomised treatment.
 7567 |   Treatment-related adverse events (grade 2 or higher) occurred in 100
 7568 |   (53%) of the 187 patients who received dabrafenib and in 26 (44%) of the
 7569 |   59 patients who received dacarbazine. The most common adverse events
 7570 |   with dabrafenib were skin-related toxic effects, fever, fatigue,
 7571 |   arthralgia, and headache. The most common adverse events with
 7572 |   dacarbazine were nausea, vomiting, neutropenia, fatigue, and asthenia.
 7573 |   Grade 3-4 adverse events were uncommon in both groups.Dabrafenib
 7574 |   significantly improved progression-free survival compared with
 7575 |   dacarbazine.GlaxoSmithKline.

 7643 | Abstract:
 7644 |   Inhibition of the BRAF(V600E) oncoprotein by the small-molecule drug
 7645 |   PLX4032 (vemurafenib) is highly effective in the treatment of melanoma.
 7646 |   However, colon cancer patients harbouring the same BRAF(V600E) oncogenic
 7647 |   lesion have poor prognosis and show only a very limited response to this
 7648 |   drug. To investigate the cause of the limited therapeutic effect of
 7649 |   PLX4032 in BRAF(V600E) mutant colon tumours, here we performed an RNA-
 7650 |   interference-based genetic screen in human cells to search for kinases
 7651 |   whose knockdown synergizes with BRAF(V600E) inhibition. We report that
 7652 |   blockade of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) shows strong
 7653 |   synergy with BRAF(V600E) inhibition. We find in multiple BRAF(V600E)
 7654 |   mutant colon cancers that inhibition of EGFR by the antibody drug
 7655 |   cetuximab or the small-molecule drugs gefitinib or erlotinib is strongly
 7656 |   synergistic with BRAF(V600E) inhibition, both in vitro and in vivo.
 7657 |   Mechanistically, we find that BRAF(V600E) inhibition causes a rapid
 7658 |   feedback activation of EGFR, which supports continued proliferation in
 7659 |   the presence of BRAF(V600E) inhibition. Melanoma cells express low
 7660 |   levels of EGFR and are therefore not subject to this feedback
 7661 |   activation. Consistent with this, we find that ectopic expression of
 7662 |   EGFR in melanoma cells is sufficient to cause resistance to PLX4032. Our
 7663 |   data suggest that BRAF(V600E) mutant colon cancers (approximately 8-10%
 7664 |   of all colon cancers), for which there are currently no targeted
 7665 |   treatment options available, might benefit from combination therapy
 7666 |   consisting of BRAF and EGFR inhibitors.

 7791 |   In this case series, 11 patients with ECD or ECD/LCH (Seven had ECD and
 7792 |   four had overlapped ECD/LCH) were treated with single-agent dabrafenib
 7793 |   as initial histiocytosis therapy, following the failure of chemotherapy
 7794 |   or radiation, or following discontinuation of vemurafenib therapy
 7795 |   because of toxicity or intolerance were assessed. Dabrafenib monotherapy
 7796 |   was initially dosed from 50mg BID to 150mg twice daily. FDG-PET/CT scans
 7797 |   were performed prior to starting dabrafenib and in follow-up to measure
 7798 |   disease response in nearly all cases. For the five patients treated with
 7799 |   dabrafenib as initial therapy or following failure of conventional
 7800 |   therapy, three had a partial metabolic response and two had a complete
 7801 |   metabolic response by FDG-PET; all had a complete clinical response. In
 7802 |   three of these six patients, dabrafenib maintained their clinical and
 7803 |   metabolic response to vemurafenib; the sixth patient had been treated
 7804 |   with interferon-a with poor clinical response, and dabrafenib achieved a
 7805 |   sustained clinical and metabolic response. Two patients who stopped
 7806 |   vemurafenib for arthralgia or fatigue stopped dabrafenib for similar
 7807 |   intolerance after four and nine months, respectively.

 7891 | Description:
 7892 |   In this case series, the authors assessed the efficacy and safety of
 7893 |   swapping cetuximab for panitumumab as some patients are unable to
 7894 |   tolerate treatment with the mouse/human chimeric monoclonal IgG1
 7895 |   antibody cetuximab. Panitumumab is a fully humanized IgG2 anti-EGFR
 7896 |   antibody that has a different binding site and also has a distinct
 7897 |   toxicity profile, causing fewer infusion reactions than cetuximab. Case
 7898 |   one was a 70-year-old female presenting with progressive metastatic
 7899 |   colorectal cancer after undergoing prior treatment with FOLFOX in 2016
 7900 |   and 2020 (2020 in combination with bevacizumab). Molecular profiling of
 7901 |   the patient’s tumour revealed a BRAF V600E mutation (KRAS-, NRAS wild-
 7902 |   type, MSS). Cetuximab and encorafenib were applied for three cycles
 7903 |   without any grade III/IV toxicities. However, the fourth infusion of
 7904 |   cetuximab had to be aborted due to a strong infusion reaction, which had
 7905 |   to be treated with dimenhydrinate and prednisone. The cetuximab was
 7906 |   swapped for panitumumab, and except for Grade I-II skin toxicity, no
 7907 |   panitumumab-related side effects occurred. After 15 months, the patient
 7908 |   is still stable under combination therapy with encorafenib plus
 7909 |   panitumumab. Case two is a 67-year-old male presenting for adjuvant
 7910 |   therapy after resection of rectal cancer. The patient progressed during
 7911 |   adjuvant treatment with capecitabine. Molecular characterization of the
 7912 |   malignancy revealed a BRAF V600E mutation (KRAS-, NRAS wild-type, MSS).
 7913 |   Treatment with FOLFOXIRI plus cetuximab was initiated, to which the
 7914 |   patient initially responded well. Due to progressive disease after about
 7915 |   10 months, second-line treatment with capecitabine plus bevacizumab was
 7916 |   initiated. Under this therapy, the patient developed multiple brain
 7917 |   metastases which were treated by surgical and radiotherapeutic
 7918 |   interventions. After switching to encorafenib and cetuximab, the first
 7919 |   infusion of cetuximab led to a severe allergic reaction with pronounced
 7920 |   respiratory symptoms. After the switch to panitumumab, no further
 7921 |   infusion reaction occurred, and besides grade I skin toxicity, no other
 7922 |   relevant side effects were apparent. The patient achieved a good partial
 7923 |   remission at three and six months. However, after ten months of
 7924 |   panitumumab and encorafenib, the patient progressed.

 7987 | Description:
 7988 |   In this case study, a 32-year-old man, previously fit and well,
 7989 |   presented with a two-month history of vertigo, right visual disturbance,
 7990 |   dysphagia, and ataxia. Brain MRI revealed a large mixed solid and cystic
 7991 |   mass within the upper pons, with heterogeneous enhancement extending
 7992 |   along the left third cranial nerve root exit. The patient subsequently
 7993 |   underwent posterior fossa craniotomy and excisional biopsy of the
 7994 |   brainstem tumour. Histology showed a WHO grade 1 ganglioglioma with a
 7995 |   pilocytic glial component. After four years from the initial diagnosis,
 7996 |   MRI surveillance revealed progression in the cystic component of the
 7997 |   lesion, with worsening neurological symptoms including right sixth nerve
 7998 |   palsy, tongue fasciculations and right-sided hemi-anesthesia. Testing of
 7999 |   his initial biopsy specimen demonstrated a BRAF V600E mutation (Sequenom
 8000 |   OncoFOCUS Panel v3.0). The patient was started on vemurafenib 960 mg
 8001 |   twice daily and cobimetinib 60 mg daily. Treatment was complicated by a
 8002 |   grade 2 maculopapular rash and grade 2 ALT elevation and was withheld
 8003 |   until improvement of toxicities back to grade 1. The patient restarted
 8004 |   vemurafenib at 720 mg twice daily and cobimetinib at 60 mg daily. At 13
 8005 |   weeks post-commencement, restaging MRI demonstrated a partial response,
 8006 |   with a substantial reduction in the solid component of the lesion and a
 8007 |   lesser reduction in the cystic component. Objective clinical improvement
 8008 |   with the resolution of tongue fasciculations and subjective improvement
 8009 |   in sensory abnormalities and diplopia have been observed. At the time of
 8010 |   publication, the patient was in an ongoing partial response.

 8044 | Abstract:
 8045 |   Post-surgical management of low grade gangliogliomas is controversial
 8046 |   with paucity of data for the use of chemotherapy. BRAF mutations are
 8047 |   present in a number of glioma subtypes and offer an opportunity for
 8048 |   treatment with targeted therapy.A 32-year-old man with an unresectable,
 8049 |   BRAF V600E mutant, WHO grade 1 ganglioglioma is commenced on combination
 8050 |   BRAF and MEK inhibition (vemurafenib and cobimetinib). Partial
 8051 |   radiological and clinical response was noted after 13 weeks of
 8052 |   treatment. Treatment complication with grade 2 skin and liver toxicity
 8053 |   was resolved with dose interruption and reduction.Combination BRAF and
 8054 |   MEK inhibition present a safe and feasible treatment strategy in
 8055 |   unresectable BRAF V600E mutant low grade ganglioglioma.

 8085 | Description:
 8086 |   In this case series, two patients with BRAF V600E mutant pleomorphic
 8087 |   xanthoastrocytoma were treated using the BRAF inhibitor dabrafenib and
 8088 |   trametinib in combination with the MEK inhibitor trametinib. Patient one
 8089 |   is a 48-year-old female with progressive anaplastic pleomorphic
 8090 |   xanthoastrocytoma (PXA). She initially presented with a seizure and
 8091 |   underwent a craniotomy and resection followed by adjuvant radiotherapy.
 8092 |   She remained in remission for 3 years. Subsequent relapses over 2 years
 8093 |   were treated with three further debulking surgeries, cyst drainage and
 8094 |   chemotherapy. Chemotherapy regimens included six cycles of procarbazine,
 8095 |   CCNU (lomustine), vincristine; six cycles of temozolomide and three
 8096 |   cycles of carboplatin. MRI after three cycles of carboplatin showed
 8097 |   tumour progression. Analysis of archival tumour tissue from an earlier
 8098 |   surgery identified a BRAF V600E mutation using DNA sequencing.
 8099 |   Histopathology showed glial tumour cells with significant nuclear
 8100 |   pleomorphism and abundant eosinophilic glassy cytoplasm, multiple giant
 8101 |   cells, brisk mitotic activity and necrosis. Immunohistochemistry for
 8102 |   BRAF V600E was strongly positive, while IDH1R132H was negative, and ATRX
 8103 |   was retained. The Ki67 proliferation index was 15%. She started
 8104 |   treatment with the BRAF inhibitor dabrafenib dosed at 150 mg twice daily
 8105 |   in combination with the MEK inhibitor trametinib dosed at 2 mg once
 8106 |   daily. MRI of the brain at this time showed a decrease in the bulk of
 8107 |   partially enhancing cystic/necrotic mass with a reduction of mass
 8108 |   effect. Subsequent interval MRI, 4 months following commencement of
 8109 |   dabrafenib and trametinib shows continued reduction in the size of both
 8110 |   solid and cystic disease. At the last review, 8 months following the
 8111 |   start of treatment, she was well, with a noted improvement in fatigue
 8112 |   and resolution of headaches. She continues on dabrafenib and trametinib.
 8113 |   Patient two was a previously treated patient that underwent successful
 8114 |   for relapsed BRAF V600E mutated anaplastic pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma
 8115 |   with dabrafenib, following intolerance to vemurafenib. The patient
 8116 |   continued dabrafenib for 18 months, at which point she chose to stop
 8117 |   therapy and commence radiological surveillance. She had no visible
 8118 |   disease on MRI at this time. She subsequently had radiological
 8119 |   progression and now is undergoing subsequent treatment with a
 8120 |   combination therapy of dabrafenib and trametinib. Two months after
 8121 |   stopping dabrafenib, the first surveillance MRI demonstrated a new 8 mm
 8122 |   homogeneously enhancing nodular lesion on the posteromedial aspect of
 8123 |   the surgical cavity. The patient was re-started on dabrafenib at 150 mg
 8124 |   twice daily with the addition of trametinib at 2 mg once daily. Serial
 8125 |   MRIs demonstrated improvement with near complete response of the
 8126 |   enhancing nodule on the most recent MRI.

 8160 |   BRAFV600E mutations have been identified in a number of glioma subtypes,
 8161 |   most frequently in pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma, ganglioglioma,
 8162 |   pilocytic astrocytoma, and epithelioid glioblastoma. Although the
 8163 |   development of BRAF inhibitors has dramatically improved the clinical
 8164 |   outcome for patients with BRAFV600E mutant tumors, resistance develops
 8165 |   in a majority of patients due to reactivation of the MAPK pathway.
 8166 |   Addition of MEK inhibition to BRAF inhibition improves survival. Here we

 8168 |   pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma using the BRAF inhibitor dabrafenib in
 8169 |   combination with the MEK inhibitor trametinib.

 8249 | Abstract:
 8250 |   Effective treatments are needed to improve outcomes for high-grade
 8251 |   glioma and low-grade glioma. The activity and safety of dabrafenib plus
 8252 |   trametinib were evaluated in adult patients with recurrent or
 8253 |   progressive BRAFV600E mutation-positive high-grade glioma and low-grade
 8254 |   glioma.This study is part of an ongoing open-label, single-arm, phase 2
 8255 |   Rare Oncology Agnostic Research (ROAR) basket trial at 27 community and
 8256 |   academic cancer centres in 13 countries (Austria, Belgium, Canada,
 8257 |   France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, South Korea,
 8258 |   Spain, Sweden, and the USA). The study enrolled patients aged 18 years
 8259 |   or older with an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status
 8260 |   of 0, 1, or 2. Patients with BRAFV600E mutation-positive high-grade
 8261 |   glioma and low-grade glioma received dabrafenib 150 mg twice daily plus
 8262 |   trametinib 2 mg once daily orally until unacceptable toxicity, disease
 8263 |   progression, or death. In the high-grade glioma cohort, patients were
 8264 |   required to have measurable disease at baseline using the Response
 8265 |   Assessment in Neuro-Oncology high-grade glioma response criteria and
 8266 |   have been treated previously with radiotherapy and first-line
 8267 |   chemotherapy or concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Patients with low-grade
 8268 |   glioma were required to have measurable non-enhancing disease (except
 8269 |   pilocytic astrocytoma) at baseline using the Response Assessment in
 8270 |   Neuro-Oncology low-grade glioma criteria. The primary endpoint, in the
 8271 |   evaluable intention-to-treat population, was investigator-assessed
 8272 |   objective response rate (complete response plus partial response for
 8273 |   high-grade glioma and complete response plus partial response plus minor
 8274 |   response for low-grade glioma). This trial is ongoing, but is closed for
 8275 |   enrolment, NCT02034110.Between April 17, 2014, and July 25, 2018, 45
 8276 |   patients (31 with glioblastoma) were enrolled into the high-grade glioma
 8277 |   cohort and 13 patients were enrolled into the low-grade glioma cohort.
 8278 |   The results presented here are based on interim analysis 16 (data cutoff
 8279 |   Sept 14, 2020). In the high-grade glioma cohort, median follow-up was
 8280 |   12·7 months (IQR 5·4-32·3) and 15 (33%; 95% CI 20-49) of 45 patients had
 8281 |   an objective response by investigator assessment, including three
 8282 |   complete responses and 12 partial responses. In the low-grade glioma
 8283 |   cohort, median follow-up was 32·2 months (IQR 25·1-47·8). Nine (69%; 95%
 8284 |   CI 39-91) of 13 patients had an objective response by investigator
 8285 |   assessment, including one complete response, six partial responses, and
 8286 |   two minor responses. Grade 3 or worse adverse events were reported in 31
 8287 |   (53%) patients, the most common being fatigue (five [9%]), decreased
 8288 |   neutrophil count (five [9%]), headache (three [5%]), and neutropenia
 8289 |   (three [5%]).Dabrafenib plus trametinib showed clinically meaningful
 8290 |   activity in patients with BRAFV600E mutation-positive recurrent or
 8291 |   refractory high-grade glioma and low-grade glioma, with a safety profile
 8292 |   consistent with that in other indications. BRAFV600E testing could
 8293 |   potentially be adopted in clinical practice for patients with
 8294 |   glioma.Novartis.

 8384 | Abstract:
 8385 |   Effective treatments are needed to improve outcomes for high-grade
 8386 |   glioma and low-grade glioma. The activity and safety of dabrafenib plus
 8387 |   trametinib were evaluated in adult patients with recurrent or
 8388 |   progressive BRAFV600E mutation-positive high-grade glioma and low-grade
 8389 |   glioma.This study is part of an ongoing open-label, single-arm, phase 2
 8390 |   Rare Oncology Agnostic Research (ROAR) basket trial at 27 community and
 8391 |   academic cancer centres in 13 countries (Austria, Belgium, Canada,
 8392 |   France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, South Korea,
 8393 |   Spain, Sweden, and the USA). The study enrolled patients aged 18 years
 8394 |   or older with an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status
 8395 |   of 0, 1, or 2. Patients with BRAFV600E mutation-positive high-grade
 8396 |   glioma and low-grade glioma received dabrafenib 150 mg twice daily plus
 8397 |   trametinib 2 mg once daily orally until unacceptable toxicity, disease
 8398 |   progression, or death. In the high-grade glioma cohort, patients were
 8399 |   required to have measurable disease at baseline using the Response
 8400 |   Assessment in Neuro-Oncology high-grade glioma response criteria and
 8401 |   have been treated previously with radiotherapy and first-line
 8402 |   chemotherapy or concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Patients with low-grade
 8403 |   glioma were required to have measurable non-enhancing disease (except
 8404 |   pilocytic astrocytoma) at baseline using the Response Assessment in
 8405 |   Neuro-Oncology low-grade glioma criteria. The primary endpoint, in the
 8406 |   evaluable intention-to-treat population, was investigator-assessed
 8407 |   objective response rate (complete response plus partial response for
 8408 |   high-grade glioma and complete response plus partial response plus minor
 8409 |   response for low-grade glioma). This trial is ongoing, but is closed for
 8410 |   enrolment, NCT02034110.Between April 17, 2014, and July 25, 2018, 45
 8411 |   patients (31 with glioblastoma) were enrolled into the high-grade glioma
 8412 |   cohort and 13 patients were enrolled into the low-grade glioma cohort.
 8413 |   The results presented here are based on interim analysis 16 (data cutoff
 8414 |   Sept 14, 2020). In the high-grade glioma cohort, median follow-up was
 8415 |   12·7 months (IQR 5·4-32·3) and 15 (33%; 95% CI 20-49) of 45 patients had
 8416 |   an objective response by investigator assessment, including three
 8417 |   complete responses and 12 partial responses. In the low-grade glioma
 8418 |   cohort, median follow-up was 32·2 months (IQR 25·1-47·8). Nine (69%; 95%
 8419 |   CI 39-91) of 13 patients had an objective response by investigator
 8420 |   assessment, including one complete response, six partial responses, and
 8421 |   two minor responses. Grade 3 or worse adverse events were reported in 31
 8422 |   (53%) patients, the most common being fatigue (five [9%]), decreased
 8423 |   neutrophil count (five [9%]), headache (three [5%]), and neutropenia
 8424 |   (three [5%]).Dabrafenib plus trametinib showed clinically meaningful
 8425 |   activity in patients with BRAFV600E mutation-positive recurrent or
 8426 |   refractory high-grade glioma and low-grade glioma, with a safety profile
 8427 |   consistent with that in other indications. BRAFV600E testing could
 8428 |   potentially be adopted in clinical practice for patients with
 8429 |   glioma.Novartis.

 8506 | Abstract:
 8507 |   Hyperactivated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling is
 8508 |   common in human cancer and is often the result of activating mutations
 8509 |   in BRAF, RAS, and upstream receptor tyrosine kinases. To characterize
 8510 |   the mitogen-activated protein kinase/ERK kinase (MEK)/ERK dependence of
 8511 |   lung cancers harboring BRAF kinase domain mutations, we screened a large
 8512 |   panel of human lung cancer cell lines (n = 87) and tumors (n = 916) for
 8513 |   BRAF mutations. We found that non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) cells
 8514 |   with both V600E and non-V600E BRAF mutations were selectively sensitive
 8515 |   to MEK inhibition compared with those harboring mutations in epidermal
 8516 |   growth factor receptor (EGFR), KRAS, or ALK and ROS kinase fusions.
 8517 |   Supporting its classification as a "driver" mutation in the cells in
 8518 |   which it is expressed, MEK inhibition in (V600E)BRAF NSCLC cells led to
 8519 |   substantial induction of apoptosis, comparable with that seen with EGFR
 8520 |   kinase inhibition in EGFR mutant NSCLC models. Despite high basal ERK
 8521 |   phosphorylation, EGFR mutant cells were uniformly resistant to MEK
 8522 |   inhibition. Conversely, BRAF mutant cell lines were resistant to EGFR
 8523 |   inhibition. These data, together with the nonoverlapping pattern of EGFR
 8524 |   and BRAF mutations in human lung cancer, suggest that these lesions
 8525 |   define distinct clinical entities whose treatment should be guided by
 8526 |   prospective real-time genotyping. To facilitate such an effort, we
 8527 |   developed a mass spectrometry-based genotyping method for the detection
 8528 |   of hotspot mutations in BRAF, KRAS, and EGFR. Using this assay, we
 8529 |   confirmed that BRAF mutations can be identified in a minority of NSCLC
 8530 |   tumors and that patients whose tumors harbor BRAF mutations have a
 8531 |   distinct clinical profile compared with those whose tumors harbor kinase
 8532 |   domain mutations in EGFR.

 8560 | Description:
 8561 |   In these two phase II studies (Italy and U.S. locations), BRAF
 8562 |   V600E-mutant hairy-cell leukemia was treated with vemurafenib at a dose
 8563 |   of 960 mg twice daily to investigate its efficacy. The overall response
 8564 |   rates were 96% (25 of 26 patients who could be evaluated) after a median
 8565 |   of 8 weeks in the Italian study and 100% (24 of 24) after a median of 12
 8566 |   weeks in the U.S. study. The rates of complete response were 35% and 42%
 8567 |   in the two trials, respectively. In the Italian trial, the median
 8568 |   relapse-free survival was 9 months; the relapse-free survival was
 8569 |   significantly longer among patients who had a complete response than
 8570 |   among those who had a partial response (19 months vs. 6 months; HR,
 8571 |   0.26; 95% CI: 0.10 - 0.68; p = 0.006). The median treatment-free
 8572 |   survival was 21.5 months in all 26 patients who could be evaluated, and
 8573 |   it did not differ significantly between the group of patients who had a
 8574 |   complete response and the group of those who had a partial response (25
 8575 |   months and 18 months, respectively; p = 0.21). In the U.S. trial, at 1
 8576 |   year, the rate of progression-free survival was 73% (95% CI: 55 - 97)
 8577 |   and the rate of overall survival was 91% (95% CI: 79 - 99). Disease
 8578 |   progression occurred in 7 of 24 patients, including 3 patients who had
 8579 |   had a complete response and 4 who had had a partial response. At 1 year
 8580 |   after response, the cumulative incidence of relapse was 27% (95% CI: 7 -
 8581 |   51). Lastly, the frequent persistence of phosphorylated ERK–positive
 8582 |   leukemic cells in bone marrow at the end of treatment suggests bypass
 8583 |   reactivation of MEK and ERK as a resistance mechanism.

 8617 | Abstract:
 8618 |   BRAF V600E is the genetic lesion underlying hairy-cell leukemia. We
 8619 |   assessed the safety and activity of the oral BRAF inhibitor vemurafenib
 8620 |   in patients with hairy-cell leukemia that had relapsed after treatment
 8621 |   with a purine analogue or who had disease that was refractory to purine
 8622 |   analogues.We conducted two phase 2, single-group, multicenter studies of
 8623 |   vemurafenib (at a dose of 960 mg twice daily)--one in Italy and one in
 8624 |   the United States. The therapy was administered for a median of 16 weeks
 8625 |   in the Italian study and 18 weeks in the U.S. study. Primary end points
 8626 |   were the complete response rate (in the Italian trial) and the overall
 8627 |   response rate (in the U.S. trial). Enrollment was completed (28
 8628 |   patients) in the Italian trial in April 2013 and is still open (26 of 36
 8629 |   planned patients) in the U.S. trial.The overall response rates were 96%
 8630 |   (25 of 26 patients who could be evaluated) after a median of 8 weeks in
 8631 |   the Italian study and 100% (24 of 24) after a median of 12 weeks in the
 8632 |   U.S. study. The rates of complete response were 35% (9 of 26 patients)
 8633 |   and 42% (10 of 24) in the two trials, respectively. In the Italian
 8634 |   trial, after a median follow-up of 23 months, the median relapse-free
 8635 |   survival was 19 months among patients with a complete response and 6
 8636 |   months among those with a partial response; the median treatment-free
 8637 |   survival was 25 months and 18 months, respectively. In the U.S. trial,
 8638 |   at 1 year, the progression-free survival rate was 73% and the overall
 8639 |   survival rate was 91%. Drug-related adverse events were usually of grade
 8640 |   1 or 2, and the events most frequently leading to dose reductions were
 8641 |   rash and arthralgia or arthritis. Secondary cutaneous tumors (treated
 8642 |   with simple excision) developed in 7 of 50 patients. The frequent
 8643 |   persistence of phosphorylated ERK-positive leukemic cells in bone marrow
 8644 |   at the end of treatment suggests bypass reactivation of MEK and ERK as a
 8645 |   resistance mechanism.A short oral course of vemurafenib was highly
 8646 |   effective in patients with relapsed or refractory hairy-cell leukemia.

 8723 | Abstract:
 8724 |   AZD6244 (ARRY-142886) is a potent small molecule inhibitor of MEK1/2
 8725 |   that is in phase 2 clinical development.AZD6244 was tested against the
 8726 |   Pediatric Preclinical Testing Program (PPTP) in vitro panel (1 nM-10
 8727 |   microM). In vivo AZD6244 was tested at a dose of 100 mg/kg administered
 8728 |   orally twice daily 5 days per week for 6 weeks. Subsequently, AZD6244
 8729 |   was evaluated against two juvenile pilocytic astrocytoma (JPA)
 8730 |   xenografts using once and twice daily dosing schedules. Phosphorylation
 8731 |   of ERK1/2 was used as a surrogate for in vivo inhibition of MEK1/2 was
 8732 |   determined by immunoblotting.At the highest concentration used in vitro
 8733 |   (10 microM) AZD6244 only inhibited growth by 50% in 5 of the 23 cell
 8734 |   lines. Against the in vivo tumor panels, AZD6244 induced significant
 8735 |   differences in EFS distribution in 10 of 37 (27%) solid tumor models and
 8736 |   0 of 6 acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) models. There were no
 8737 |   objective responses. Pharmacodynamic studies indicated at this dose and
 8738 |   schedule AZD6244 completely inhibited ERK1/2 phosphorylation. AZD6244
 8739 |   was evaluated against two JPA xenografts, BT-35 (wild-type BRAF) and
 8740 |   BT-40 (mutant [V600E] BRAF). BT-40 xenografts were highly sensitive to
 8741 |   AZD6244, whereas BT-35 xenografts progressed on AZD6244 treatment.At the
 8742 |   dose and schedule of administration used, AZD6244 as a single agent had

 8816 | Abstract:
 8817 |   Oncogenic conversion of BRAF occurs in approximately 44% of papillary
 8818 |   thyroid carcinomas and 24% of anaplastic thyroid carcinomas. In
 8819 |   papillary thyroid carcinomas, this mutation is associated with an
 8820 |   unfavorable clinicopathologic outcome. Our aim was to exploit BRAF as a
 8821 |   potential therapeutic target for thyroid carcinoma.We used RNA
 8822 |   interference to evaluate the effect of BRAF knockdown in the human
 8823 |   anaplastic thyroid carcinoma cell lines FRO and ARO carrying the BRAF
 8824 |   V600E (V600EBRAF) mutation. We also exploited the effect of BAY 43-9006
 8825 |   [N-(3-trifluoromethyl-4-chlorophenyl)-N'-(4-(2-methylcarbamoyl
 8826 |   pyridin-4-yl)oxyphenyl)urea], a multikinase inhibitor able to inhibit
 8827 |   RAF family kinases in a panel of six (V600E)BRAF-positive thyroid
 8828 |   carcinoma cell lines and in nude mice bearing ARO cell xenografts.
 8829 |   Statistical tests were two sided.Knockdown of BRAF by small inhibitory
 8830 |   duplex RNA, but not control small inhibitory duplex RNA, inhibited the
 8831 |   mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling cascade and the growth of ARO
 8832 |   and FRO cells (P < 0.0001). These effects were mimicked by thyroid
 8833 |   carcinoma cell treatment with BAY 43-9006 (IC50 = 0.5-1 micromol/L; P <
 8834 |   0.0001), whereas the compound had negligible effects in normal
 8835 |   thyrocytes. ARO cell tumor xenografts were significantly (P < 0.0001)
 8836 |   smaller in nude mice treated with BAY 43-9006 than in control mice. This
 8837 |   inhibition was associated with suppression of phospho-mitogen-activated
 8838 |   protein kinase levels.BRAF provides signals crucial for proliferation of
 8839 |   thyroid carcinoma cells spontaneously harboring the (V600E)BRAF mutation
 8840 |   and, therefore, BRAF suppression might have therapeutic potential in
 8841 |   (V600E)BRAF-positive thyroid cancer.

 8915 | Abstract:
 8916 |   Dabrafenib, an inhibitor of mutated BRAF, has clinical activity with a
 8917 |   manageable safety profile in studies of phase 1 and 2 in patients with
 8918 |   BRAF(V600)-mutated metastatic melanoma. We studied the efficacy of
 8919 |   dabrafenib in patients with BRAF(V600E)-mutated metastatic melanoma.We
 8920 |   enrolled patients in this open-label phase 3 trial between Dec 23, 2010,
 8921 |   and Sept 1, 2011. This report is based on a data cutoff date of Dec 19,
 8922 |   2011. Patients aged 18 years or older with previously untreated, stage
 8923 |   IV or unresectable stage III BRAF(V600E) mutation-positive melanoma were
 8924 |   randomly assigned (3:1) to receive dabrafenib (150 mg twice daily,
 8925 |   orally) or dacarbazine (1000 mg/m(2) intravenously every 3 weeks).
 8926 |   Patients were stratified according to American Joint Committee on Cancer
 8927 |   stage (unresectable III+IVM1a+IVM1b vs IVM1c). The primary endpoint was
 8928 |   investigator-assessed progression-free survival and was analysed by
 8929 |   intention to treat; safety was assessed per protocol. This study is
 8930 |   registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT01227889.Of the 733
 8931 |   patients screened, 250 were randomly assigned to receive either
 8932 |   dabrafenib (187 patients) or dacarbazine (63 patients). Median
 8933 |   progression-free survival was 5·1 months for dabrafenib and 2·7 months
 8934 |   for dacarbazine, with a hazard ratio (HR) of 0·30 (95% CI 0·18-0·51;
 8935 |   p<0·0001). At data cutoff, 107 (57%) patients in the dabrafenib group
 8936 |   and 14 (22%) in the dacarbazine group remained on randomised treatment.
 8937 |   Treatment-related adverse events (grade 2 or higher) occurred in 100
 8938 |   (53%) of the 187 patients who received dabrafenib and in 26 (44%) of the
 8939 |   59 patients who received dacarbazine. The most common adverse events
 8940 |   with dabrafenib were skin-related toxic effects, fever, fatigue,
 8941 |   arthralgia, and headache. The most common adverse events with
 8942 |   dacarbazine were nausea, vomiting, neutropenia, fatigue, and asthenia.
 8943 |   Grade 3-4 adverse events were uncommon in both groups.Dabrafenib
 8944 |   significantly improved progression-free survival compared with
 8945 |   dacarbazine.GlaxoSmithKline.

 9082 | Abstract:
 9083 |   We show that BRAF(V600E) initiates an alternative pathway to colorectal
 9084 |   cancer (CRC), which progresses through a hyperplasia/adenoma/carcinoma
 9085 |   sequence. This pathway underlies significant subsets of CRCs with
 9086 |   distinctive pathomorphologic/genetic/epidemiologic/clinical
 9087 |   characteristics. Genetic and functional analyses in mice revealed a
 9088 |   series of stage-specific molecular alterations driving different phases
 9089 |   of tumor evolution and uncovered mechanisms underlying this stage
 9090 |   specificity. We further demonstrate dose-dependent effects of oncogenic
 9091 |   signaling, with physiologic Braf(V600E) expression being sufficient for
 9092 |   hyperplasia induction, but later stage intensified Mapk-signaling
 9093 |   driving both tumor progression and activation of intrinsic tumor
 9094 |   suppression. Such phenomena explain, for example, the inability of p53
 9095 |   to restrain tumor initiation as well as its importance in invasiveness
 9096 |   control, and the late stage specificity of its somatic mutation.
 9097 |   Finally, systematic drug screening revealed sensitivity of this CRC
 9098 |   subtype to targeted therapeutics, including Mek or combinatorial
 9099 |   PI3K/Braf inhibition.

 9172 | Abstract:
 9173 |   KRAS and BRAF activating mutations drive tumorigenesis through
 9174 |   constitutive activation of the MAPK pathway. As these tumours represent
 9175 |   an area of high unmet medical need, multiple allosteric MEK inhibitors,
 9176 |   which inhibit MAPK signalling in both genotypes, are being tested in
 9177 |   clinical trials. Impressive single-agent activity in BRAF-mutant
 9178 |   melanoma has been observed; however, efficacy has been far less robust
 9179 |   in KRAS-mutant disease. Here we show that, owing to distinct mechanisms
 9180 |   regulating MEK activation in KRAS- versus BRAF-driven tumours, different
 9181 |   mechanisms of inhibition are required for optimal antitumour activity in
 9182 |   each genotype. Structural and functional analysis illustrates that MEK
 9183 |   inhibitors with superior efficacy in KRAS-driven tumours (GDC-0623 and

 9185 |   hydrogen-bond interaction with S212 in MEK that is critical for blocking
 9186 |   MEK feedback phosphorylation by wild-type RAF. Conversely, potent
 9187 |   inhibition of active, phosphorylated MEK is required for strong
 9188 |   inhibition of the MAPK pathway in BRAF-mutant tumours, resulting in
 9189 |   superior efficacy in this genotype with GDC-0973 (also known as
 9190 |   cobimetinib), a MEK inhibitor currently in phase III clinical trials.
 9191 |   Our study highlights that differences in the activation state of MEK in
 9192 |   KRAS-mutant tumours versus BRAF-mutant tumours can be exploited through
 9193 |   the design of inhibitors that uniquely target these distinct activation
 9194 |   states of MEK. These inhibitors are currently being evaluated in
 9195 |   clinical trials to determine whether improvements in therapeutic index
 9196 |   within KRAS versus BRAF preclinical models translate to improved
 9197 |   clinical responses in patients.

 9264 | Abstract:
 9265 |   Metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) that harbours a BRAF V600E mutation
 9266 |   (BRAF MT) is associated with poorer outcomes. However, whether this
 9267 |   mutation is predictive of treatment benefit from anti-epidermal growth
 9268 |   factor receptor (EGFR) monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) is uncertain.We
 9269 |   conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled
 9270 |   trials (RCTs) published up to July 2014 that evaluated the effect of
 9271 |   BRAF MT on the treatment benefit from anti-EGFR mAbs for mCRC.Seven RCTs
 9272 |   met the inclusion criteria for assessment of overall survival (OS),
 9273 |   whereas eight RCTs met the inclusion criteria for assessment of
 9274 |   progression-free survival (PFS). For RAS WT/BRAF MT tumours, the hazard
 9275 |   ratio for OS benefit with anti-EGFR mAbs was 0.97 (95% CI; 0.67-1.41),
 9276 |   whereas the hazard ratio was 0.81 (95% CI; 0.70-0.95) for RAS WT/BRAF WT
 9277 |   tumours. However, the test of interaction (P=0.43) was not statistically
 9278 |   significant, highlighting that the observed differences in the effect of
 9279 |   anti-EGFR mAbs on OS according to the BRAF mutation status may be due to
 9280 |   chance alone. Regarding PFS benefit with anti-EGFR mAbs, the hazard
 9281 |   ratio was 0.86 (95% CI; 0.61-1.21) for RAS WT/BRAF MT tumours as
 9282 |   compared with 0.62 (95% CI; 0.50-0.77) for RAS WT/BRAF WT tumours (test
 9283 |   of interaction, P=0.07).This meta-analysis demonstrates that there is
 9284 |   insufficient evidence to definitively state that RAS WT/BRAF MT
 9285 |   individuals attain a different treatment benefit from anti-EGFR mAbs for
 9286 |   mCRC compared with RAS WT/BRAF WT individuals. As such, there are
 9287 |   insufficient data to justify the exclusion of anti-EGFR mAb therapy for
 9288 |   patients with RAS WT/BRAF MT mCRC.

 9358 | Abstract:
 9359 |   Hairy-cell leukemia (HCL) is a well-defined clinicopathological entity
 9360 |   whose underlying genetic lesion is still obscure.We searched for HCL-
 9361 |   associated mutations by performing massively parallel sequencing of the
 9362 |   whole exome of leukemic and matched normal cells purified from the
 9363 |   peripheral blood of an index patient with HCL. Findings were validated
 9364 |   by Sanger sequencing in 47 additional patients with HCL.Whole-exome
 9365 |   sequencing identified five missense somatic clonal mutations that were
 9366 |   confirmed on Sanger sequencing, including a heterozygous mutation in
 9367 |   BRAF that results in the BRAF V600E variant protein. Since BRAF V600E is
 9368 |   oncogenic in other tumors, further analyses were focused on this genetic
 9369 |   lesion. The same BRAF mutation was noted in all the other 47 patients
 9370 |   with HCL who were evaluated by means of Sanger sequencing. None of the
 9371 |   195 patients with other peripheral B-cell lymphomas or leukemias who
 9372 |   were evaluated carried the BRAF V600E variant, including 38 patients
 9373 |   with splenic marginal-zone lymphomas or unclassifiable splenic lymphomas
 9374 |   or leukemias. In immunohistologic and Western blot studies, HCL cells
 9375 |   expressed phosphorylated MEK and ERK (the downstream targets of the BRAF
 9376 |   kinase), indicating a constitutive activation of the RAF-MEK-ERK
 9377 |   mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway in HCL. In vitro incubation of
 9378 |   BRAF-mutated primary leukemic hairy cells from 5 patients with PLX-4720,
 9379 |   a specific inhibitor of active BRAF, led to a marked decrease in
 9380 |   phosphorylated ERK and MEK. CONCLUSIONS; The BRAF V600E mutation was
 9381 |   present in all patients with HCL who were evaluated. This finding may
 9382 |   have implications for the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and targeted therapy
 9383 |   of HCL. (Funded by Associazione Italiana per la Ricerca sul Cancro and

 9460 | Abstract:
 9461 |   The recent findings brought the necessity of testing the mutational
 9462 |   status of a series of genes which had been already identified as
 9463 |   responsible for melanomas development and progression, such as BRAF,
 9464 |   CKIT and PTEN: the consequent results are, in fact, essential to guide
 9465 |   the assessment of the novel treatment protocols based on tailored
 9466 |   targeted therapies. We present here the case of a 66 year-old male
 9467 |   patient, diagnosed with an advanced melanoma in June 2011, and treated
 9468 |   with Dabrafenib for double mutant metastatic disease. The patient was
 9469 |   referred to our attention for a large exophytic malignant melanoma on
 9470 |   the left shoulder. After complete surgical excision and elective lymph
 9471 |   node dissection for presence of metastatic sentinel lymph node, the
 9472 |   patient has started high-dose interferon alfa-2b injections as adjuvant
 9473 |   therapy for a complete negative staging. The treatment was interrupted
 9474 |   in August 2011 due to the appearance of metastatic lymph nodes. Tumor
 9475 |   burden was rapidly growing reaching in few months the size of a tennis
 9476 |   ball for the tumor mass located in the shoulder. Mutational study of the
 9477 |   tumor revealed a double BRAF mutation on V-600E and V600M. This finding
 9478 |   incited us to enroll the patient in compassionate Dabrafenib clinical
 9479 |   trial. The therapy was started on may 2012 at 150 mg bid dosage. Almost
 9480 |   surprisingly for the rapidity of the effect, one week later the lesion
 9481 |   on the shoulder has reduced its size by 60% and one month later it has
 9482 |   completely disappeared from sight. CT scan of June 2012 documented the
 9483 |   astonishing clinical response.

 9565 |   The AURELIA trial demonstrated that adding Bevacizumab to chemotherapy
 9566 |   significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS) for platinum
 9567 |   resistant recurrent ovarian cancer. Recently, immunotherapy also
 9568 |   presented potential anti-tumor effects in several malignant solid
 9569 |   tumors. This study aimed to investigate whether combining anti-PD-L1
 9570 |   Atezolizumab with BEV may have a synergistic effect and enhance the
 9571 |   efficacy of both treatments in cisplatin resistant epithelial ovarian
 9572 |   cancer (CREOC). We retrospectively analyzed 124 epithelial ovarian
 9573 |   cancer (EOC) patients from Gynecologic Oncology Department of Tianjin
 9574 |   Cancer Hospital between January 2013 and June 2018, who all were
 9575 |   diagnosed with cisplatin resistance due to progressing <6 months after
 9576 |   completing platinum-based therapy. Based on responding to at least 2
 9577 |   cycles of Bevacizumab-containing chemotherapy (BC), these Patients were
 9578 |   divided into BC response group and BC non-response group.
 9579 |   Immunohistochemistry was used to detect that PD-L1 expression and tumor
 9580 |   angiogenesis-related proteins (VEGF and Semaphorin4D) in tissues from
 9581 |   124 patients with CREOC. The positive expressions of PD-L1, VEGF, and
 9582 |   Semaphorin4D (SEMA4D) were found in 58.73, 50.79, and 71.43% of the 63
 9583 |   cases CREOC tissues with BC response, respectively, which were
 9584 |   significantly higher than that in the 61 cases BC non-response group (P
 9585 |   < 0.05). PD-L1 expression correlated with SEMA4D and VEGF positively (r
 9586 |   = 0.344 and 0.363, P < 0.001). Over-expressions of PD-L1, VEGF and
 9587 |   SEMA4D are associated with more malignant clinicopathologic
 9588 |   characteristics of CREOC Patients. In survival analysis, patients'
 9589 |   response to BC was the independent factor for evaluation of PFS and
 9590 |   overall survival (OS). Cell functional assays showed that Atezolizumab
 9591 |   in combination with Bevacizumab inhibited the proliferation, migration,
 9592 |   and invasion of cisplatin resistant ovarian cancer cell line A2780cis in
 9593 |   vitro synergistically, which maybe associate with Bevacizumab
 9594 |   suppressing the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and PD-L1
 9595 |   expression by targeting STAT3. Furthermore, Bevacizumab and Atezolizumab
 9596 |   induced synergistic anti-tumor effect in vivo. These findings suggest a
 9597 |   novel therapeutic strategy for cisplatin resistant recurrent EOC and its
 9598 |   mechanism warrants further study.

 9667 | Abstract:
 9668 |   Oncogenic BRAF mutations are found in several tumor types, including
 9669 |   melanomas and colorectal cancers. Tumors with BRAF mutations have
 9670 |   increased mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway activity and
 9671 |   heightened sensitivity to BRAF and MEK (mitogen-activated or
 9672 |   extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase kinase) inhibitors. To
 9673 |   identify potential mechanisms of acquired drug resistance, we generated
 9674 |   clones resistant to the allosteric MEK inhibitor AZD6244 from two BRAF
 9675 |   V600E mutant colorectal cancer cell lines that are highly sensitive to
 9676 |   MEK or BRAF inhibition. These AZD6244-resistant (AR) clones, which
 9677 |   exhibited cross-resistance to BRAF inhibitors, acquired resistance
 9678 |   through amplification of the BRAF gene. A small percentage of treatment-
 9679 |   naïve parental cells showed preexisting BRAF amplification. We observed
 9680 |   similar amplification in a subset of cells in a BRAF-mutant colorectal
 9681 |   cancer. In cell lines, BRAF amplification increased the abundance of
 9682 |   phosphorylated MEK and impaired the ability of AZD6244 to inhibit ERK
 9683 |   (extracellular signal-regulated kinase) phosphorylation. The ability of
 9684 |   AZD6244 to inhibit ERK phosphorylation in AR cells was restored by
 9685 |   treatment with a BRAF inhibitor at low concentrations that reduced the
 9686 |   abundance of phosphorylated MEK to amounts observed in parental cells.
 9687 |   Combined MEK and BRAF inhibition fully overcame resistance to MEK or
 9688 |   BRAF inhibitors alone and was also more effective in parental cells
 9689 |   compared to treatment with either inhibitor alone. These findings
 9690 |   implicate BRAF amplification as a mechanism of resistance to both MEK
 9691 |   and BRAF inhibitors and suggest combined MEK and BRAF inhibition as a
 9692 |   clinical strategy to overcome, or possibly prevent, this mechanism of
 9693 |   resistance.

 9782 | Abstract:
 9783 |   BRAF inhibitors elicit rapid antitumor responses in the majority of
 9784 |   patients with BRAF(V600)-mutant melanoma, but acquired drug resistance
 9785 |   is almost universal. We sought to identify the core resistance pathways
 9786 |   and the extent of tumor heterogeneity during disease progression. We
 9787 |   show that mitogen-activated protein kinase reactivation mechanisms were
 9788 |   detected among 70% of disease-progressive tissues, with RAS mutations,
 9789 |   mutant BRAF amplification, and alternative splicing being most common.
 9790 |   We also detected PI3K-PTEN-AKT-upregulating genetic alterations among
 9791 |   22% of progressive melanomas. Distinct molecular lesions in both core
 9792 |   drug escape pathways were commonly detected concurrently in the same
 9793 |   tumor or among multiple tumors from the same patient. Beyond harboring
 9794 |   extensively heterogeneous resistance mechanisms, melanoma regrowth
 9795 |   emerging from BRAF inhibitor selection displayed branched evolution
 9796 |   marked by altered mutational spectra/signatures and increased fitness.
 9797 |   Thus, melanoma genomic heterogeneity contributes significantly to BRAF
 9798 |   inhibitor treatment failure, implying upfront, cotargeting of two core
 9799 |   pathways as an essential strategy for durable responses.

 9902 | Abstract:
 9903 |   In the Medical Research Council (MRC) COIN trial, the epidermal growth
 9904 |   factor receptor (EGFR)-targeted antibody cetuximab was added to standard
 9905 |   chemotherapy in first-line treatment of advanced colorectal cancer with
 9906 |   the aim of assessing effect on overall survival.In this randomised
 9907 |   controlled trial, patients who were fit for but had not received
 9908 |   previous chemotherapy for advanced colorectal cancer were randomly
 9909 |   assigned to oxaliplatin and fluoropyrimidine chemotherapy (arm A), the
 9910 |   same combination plus cetuximab (arm B), or intermittent chemotherapy
 9911 |   (arm C). The choice of fluoropyrimidine therapy (capecitabine or infused
 9912 |   fluouroracil plus leucovorin) was decided before randomisation.
 9913 |   Randomisation was done centrally (via telephone) by the MRC Clinical
 9914 |   Trials Unit using minimisation. Treatment allocation was not masked. The
 9915 |   comparison of arms A and C is described in a companion paper. Here, we
 9916 |   present the comparison of arm A and B, for which the primary outcome was
 9917 |   overall survival in patients with KRAS wild-type tumours. Analysis was
 9918 |   by intention to treat. Further analyses with respect to NRAS, BRAF, and
 9919 |   EGFR status were done. The trial is registered, ISRCTN27286448.1630
 9920 |   patients were randomly assigned to treatment groups (815 to standard
 9921 |   therapy and 815 to addition of cetuximab). Tumour samples from 1316
 9922 |   (81%) patients were used for somatic molecular analyses; 565 (43%) had
 9923 |   KRAS mutations. In patients with KRAS wild-type tumours (arm A, n=367;
 9924 |   arm B, n=362), overall survival did not differ between treatment groups
 9925 |   (median survival 17·9 months [IQR 10·3-29·2] in the control group vs
 9926 |   17·0 months [9·4-30·1] in the cetuximab group; HR 1·04, 95% CI
 9927 |   0·87-1·23, p=0·67). Similarly, there was no effect on progression-free
 9928 |   survival (8·6 months [IQR 5·0-12·5] in the control group vs 8·6 months
 9929 |   [5·1-13·8] in the cetuximab group; HR 0·96, 0·82-1·12, p=0·60). Overall
 9930 |   response rate increased from 57% (n=209) with chemotherapy alone to 64%
 9931 |   (n=232) with addition of cetuximab (p=0·049). Grade 3 and higher skin
 9932 |   and gastrointestinal toxic effects were increased with cetuximab (14 vs
 9933 |   114 and 67 vs 97 patients in the control group vs the cetuximab group
 9934 |   with KRAS wild-type tumours, respectively). Overall survival differs by
 9935 |   somatic mutation status irrespective of treatment received: BRAF mutant,
 9936 |   8·8 months (IQR 4·5-27·4); KRAS mutant, 14·4 months (8·5-24·0); all
 9937 |   wild-type, 20·1 months (11·5-31·7).This trial has not confirmed a
 9938 |   benefit of addition of cetuximab to oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy in
 9939 |   first-line treatment of patients with advanced colorectal cancer.
 9940 |   Cetuximab increases response rate, with no evidence of benefit in
 9941 |   progression-free or overall survival in KRAS wild-type patients or even
 9942 |   in patients selected by additional mutational analysis of their tumours.
 9943 |   The use of cetuximab in combination with oxaliplatin and capecitabine in
 9944 |   first-line chemotherapy in patients with widespread metastases cannot be

10049 | Abstract:
10050 |   B cell lymphoma and melanoma harbor recurrent mutations in the gene
10051 |   encoding the EZH2 histone methyltransferase (EZH2), but the carcinogenic
10052 |   role of these mutations is unclear. Here we describe a mouse model in
10053 |   which the most common somatic Ezh2 gain-of-function mutation
10054 |   (EZH2(Y646F) in human; Ezh2(Y641F) in mouse) is conditionally expressed.
10055 |   Expression of Ezh2(Y641F) in mouse B cells or melanocytes caused high-
10056 |   penetrance lymphoma or melanoma, respectively. Overexpression of the
10057 |   anti-apoptotic protein Bcl2, but not the oncoprotein Myc, or loss of the
10058 |   tumor suppressor protein p53 (encoded by Trp53 in mice) further
10059 |   accelerated lymphoma progression. Expression of the mutant Braf but not
10060 |   the mutant Nras oncoprotein further accelerated melanoma progression.
10061 |   Although expression of Ezh2(Y641F) globally increased the abundance of
10062 |   trimethylated Lys27 of histone H3 (H3K27me3), it also caused a
10063 |   widespread redistribution of this repressive mark, including a loss of

10196 | Description:
10197 |   In this case study, a 28-year-old male with BRAF V600E-mutant anaplastic
10198 |   ganglioglioma was started with vemurafenib at 960 mg twice daily in
10199 |   March 2015 for tumour recurrence despite one surgical resection and
10200 |   adjuvant radiation therapy. He had a partial response with a tumour
10201 |   shrinkage up to 55% according to RANO (response assessment in neuro-
10202 |   oncology) criteria that was observed after 4 cycles. However, the
10203 |   response to vemurafenib only lasted for 14 cycles until May 2016 when
10204 |   his brain MRI showed local recurrence. Whole-exome sequencing of matched
10205 |   tumour and germline DNA and RNA sequencing was carried out and the BRAF
10206 |   V600E mutation was confirmed, along with a focal homozygous deletion of
10207 |   CDKN2A and CDKN2B at the 9p21 locus. No additional molecular alteration
10208 |   in MAPK genes was found. Three other somatic variants were identified. A
10209 |   TET2 (p.Glu796Lys) mutation was found in both tumours. Mutations of BAX
10210 |   (p.Leu76Arg) and AXIN2 (p.Pro455Lys) were only detected in the recurrent
10211 |   tumour. These 3 genetic variants were not previously reported in the
10212 |   literature or in public databases, including ExAC, ClinVar, and COSMIC,
10213 |   and were annotated as variants of unknown significance. The patient was
10214 |   then started with combined vemurafenib at 960 mg twice daily and
10215 |   cobimetinib at 60 mg daily, 21 days every 28 days in November 2016. A
10216 |   complete response was observed after 3 months of combined treatment. At
10217 |   the last follow-up, after 16 months of treatment, there is no evidence
10218 |   of recurrence.

10371 | Abstract:
10372 |   Paediatric low-grade glioma is the most common CNS tumour of childhood.
10373 |   Although overall survival is good, disease often recurs. No single
10374 |   universally accepted treatment exists for these patients; however,
10375 |   standard cytotoxic chemotherapies are generally used. We aimed to assess
10376 |   the activity of selumetinib, a MEK1/2 inhibitor, in these patients.The
10377 |   Pediatric Brain Tumor Consortium performed a multicentre, phase 2 study
10378 |   in patients with paediatric low-grade glioma in 11 hospitals in the USA.
10379 |   Patients aged 3-21 years with a Lansky or Karnofsky performance score
10380 |   greater than 60 and the presence of recurrent, refractory, or
10381 |   progressive paediatric low-grade glioma after at least one standard
10382 |   therapy were eligible for inclusion. Patients were assigned to six
10383 |   unique strata according to histology, tumour location, NF1 status, and
10384 |   BRAF aberration status; herein, we report the results of strata 1 and 3.
10385 |   Stratum 1 comprised patients with WHO grade I pilocytic astrocytoma
10386 |   harbouring either one of the two most common BRAF aberrations
10387 |   (KIAA1549-BRAF fusion or the BRAFV600E [Val600Glu] mutation). Stratum 3
10388 |   comprised patients with any neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1)-associated
10389 |   paediatric low-grade glioma (WHO grades I and II). Selumetinib was
10390 |   provided as capsules given orally at the recommended phase 2 dose of 25
10391 |   mg/m2 twice daily in 28-day courses for up to 26 courses. The primary
10392 |   endpoint was the proportion of patients with a stratum-specific
10393 |   objective response (partial response or complete response), as assessed
10394 |   by the local site and sustained for at least 8 weeks. All responses were
10395 |   reviewed centrally. All eligible patients who initiated treatment were
10396 |   evaluable for the activity and toxicity analyses. Although the trial is
10397 |   ongoing in other strata, enrolment and planned follow-up is complete for
10398 |   strata 1 and 3. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number
10399 |   NCT01089101.Between July 25, 2013, and June 12, 2015, 25 eligible and
10400 |   evaluable patients were accrued to stratum 1, and between Aug 28, 2013,
10401 |   and June 25, 2015, 25 eligible and evaluable patients were accrued to
10402 |   stratum 3. In stratum 1, nine (36% [95% CI 18-57]) of 25 patients
10403 |   achieved a sustained partial response. The median follow-up for the 11
10404 |   patients who had not had a progression event by Aug 9, 2018, was 36·40
10405 |   months (IQR 21·72-45·59). In stratum 3, ten (40% [21-61]) of 25 patients
10406 |   achieved a sustained partial response; median follow-up was 48·60 months
10407 |   (IQR 39·14-51·31) for the 17 patients without a progression event by Aug
10408 |   9, 2018. The most frequent grade 3 or worse adverse events were elevated
10409 |   creatine phosphokinase (five [10%]) and maculopapular rash (five [10%]).
10410 |   No treatment-realted deaths were reported.Selumetinib is active in
10411 |   recurrent, refractory, or progressive pilocytic astrocytoma harbouring
10412 |   common BRAF aberrations and NF1-associated paediatric low-grade glioma.
10413 |   These results show that selumetinib could be an alternative to standard
10414 |   chemotherapy for these subgroups of patients, and have directly led to
10415 |   the development of two Children's Oncology Group phase 3 studies
10416 |   comparing standard chemotherapy to selumetinib in patients with newly
10417 |   diagnosed paediatric low-grade glioma both with and without NF1.National

10492 | Abstract:
10493 |   BRAF genomic alterations are the most common oncogenic drivers in
10494 |   pediatric low-grade glioma (pLGG). Arm 1 (n = 77) of the ongoing phase 2
10495 |   FIREFLY-1 (PNOC026) trial investigated the efficacy of the oral,
10496 |   selective, central nervous system-penetrant, type II RAF inhibitor
10497 |   tovorafenib (420 mg m-2 once weekly; 600 mg maximum) in patients with
10498 |   BRAF-altered, relapsed/refractory pLGG. Arm 2 (n = 60) is an extension
10499 |   cohort, which provided treatment access for patients with RAF-altered
10500 |   pLGG after arm 1 closure. Based on independent review, according to
10501 |   Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology High-Grade Glioma (RANO-HGG)
10502 |   criteria, the overall response rate (ORR) of 67% met the arm 1
10503 |   prespecified primary endpoint; median duration of response (DOR) was
10504 |   16.6 months; and median time to response (TTR) was 3.0 months (secondary
10505 |   endpoints). Other select arm 1 secondary endpoints included ORR, DOR and
10506 |   TTR as assessed by Response Assessment in Pediatric Neuro-Oncology Low-
10507 |   Grade Glioma (RAPNO) criteria and safety (assessed in all treated
10508 |   patients and the primary endpoint for arm 2, n = 137). The ORR according
10509 |   to RAPNO criteria (including minor responses) was 51%; median DOR was
10510 |   13.8 months; and median TTR was 5.3 months. The most common treatment-
10511 |   related adverse events (TRAEs) were hair color changes (76%), elevated
10512 |   creatine phosphokinase (56%) and anemia (49%). Grade ≥3 TRAEs occurred
10513 |   in 42% of patients. Nine (7%) patients had TRAEs leading to
10514 |   discontinuation of tovorafenib. These data indicate that tovorafenib
10515 |   could be an effective therapy for BRAF-altered, relapsed/refractory
10516 |   pLGG. ClinicalTrials.gov registration: NCT04775485 .

10566 | Description:
10567 |   This clinical study was conducted with 30 patients with colorectal
10568 |   cancer harboring BRAF V600E (n = 29) or BRAF K601E (n=1) mutations,
10569 |   treated with a combination of cobimetinib and vemurafenib. Of the 30
10570 |   patients, only 27 were evaluable. An OR rate of 30% (95% CI; 14-50), and
10571 |   DC rate of 52% (95% CI; 35-65) was noted. Eight patients had a partial
10572 |   response with a median duration of 8.1 weeks (5.1-32.3 weeks) and six
10573 |   patients had SD16+ with a median duration of 29.1 weeks (28.1-44.0
10574 |   weeks). The reported PFS was 15.7 weeks (95% CI; 12.1-18.1) and OS was
10575 |   38.9 weeks (95% CI; 26.1-49.4). In 43% of the cohort, grade 3 AEs or
10576 |   SAEs were observed, likely associated with the treatment.

10607 | Abstract:
10608 |   TAPUR is a phase II basket trial evaluating the antitumor activity of
10609 |   commercially available targeted agents in patients with advanced cancer
10610 |   and genomic alterations known to be drug targets. The results of a
10611 |   cohort of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) with BRAF mutations
10612 |   treated with cobimetinib (C) plus vemurafenib (V) are reported.Eligible
10613 |   patients had advanced CRC, no standard treatment options, measurable
10614 |   disease (RECIST), Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status
10615 |   0-2, adequate organ function, tumors with BRAF V600E/D/K/R mutations,
10616 |   and no MAP2K1/2, MEK1/2, or NRAS mutations. C was taken 60 mg orally
10617 |   once daily for 21 days followed by seven days off, and V was taken 960
10618 |   mg orally twice daily. Simon's two-stage design was used with a primary
10619 |   study end point of objective response or stable disease of at least 16
10620 |   weeks duration. Secondary end points were progression-free survival,
10621 |   overall survival, and safety.Thirty patients were enrolled from August
10622 |   2016 to August 2018; all had CRC with a BRAF V600E mutation except one
10623 |   patient with a BRAF K601E mutation. Three patients were not evaluable
10624 |   for efficacy. Eight patients with partial responses and six patients
10625 |   with stable disease of at least 16 weeks duration were observed for
10626 |   disease control and objective response rates of 52% (95% CI, 35 to 65)
10627 |   and 30% (95% CI, 14 to 50), respectively. The null hypothesis of 15%
10628 |   disease control rate was rejected (P < .0001). Thirteen patients had at
10629 |   least one grade 3 adverse event or serious adverse event at least
10630 |   possibly related to C + V: anemia, decreased lymphocytes, dyspnea,
10631 |   diarrhea, elevated liver enzymes, fatigue, hypercalcemia,
10632 |   hypophosphatemia, rash, photosensitivity, and upper gastrointestinal
10633 |   hemorrhage.The combination of C + V has antitumor activity in heavily
10634 |   pretreated patients with CRC with BRAF mutations.

10723 | Abstract:
10724 |   The NCI-COG Pediatric MATCH trial assigns patients age 1-21 years with
10725 |   relapsed or refractory solid tumors, lymphomas, and histiocytic
10726 |   disorders to phase II studies of molecularly targeted therapies on the
10727 |   basis of detection of predefined genetic alterations. Patients with
10728 |   tumors harboring mutations or fusions driving activation of the mitogen-
10729 |   activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway were treated with the MEK
10730 |   inhibitor selumetinib.Patients received selumetinib twice daily for
10731 |   28-day cycles until disease progression or intolerable toxicity. The
10732 |   primary end point was objective response rate; secondary end points
10733 |   included progression-free survival and tolerability of
10734 |   selumetinib.Twenty patients (median age: 14 years) were treated. All
10735 |   were evaluable for response and toxicities. The most frequent diagnoses
10736 |   were high-grade glioma (HGG; n = 7) and rhabdomyosarcoma (n = 7).
10737 |   Twenty-one actionable mutations were detected: hotspot mutations in KRAS
10738 |   (n = 8), NRAS (n = 3), and HRAS (n = 1), inactivating mutations in NF1
10739 |   (n = 7), and BRAF V600E (n = 2). No objective responses were observed.
10740 |   Three patients had a best response of stable disease including two
10741 |   patients with HGG (NF1 mutation, six cycles; KRAS mutation, 12 cycles).
10742 |   Six-month progression-free survival was 15% (95% CI, 4 to 34). Five
10743 |   patients (25%) experienced a grade 3 or higher adverse event that was
10744 |   possibly or probably attributable to study drug.A national histology-
10745 |   agnostic molecular screening strategy was effective at identifying
10746 |   children and young adults eligible for treatment with selumetinib in the
10747 |   first Pediatric MATCH treatment arm to be completed. MEK inhibitors have
10748 |   demonstrated promising responses in some pediatric tumors (eg, low-grade
10749 |   glioma and plexiform neurofibroma). However, selumetinib in this cohort
10750 |   with treatment-refractory tumors harboring MAPK alterations demonstrated
10751 |   limited efficacy, indicating that pathway mutation status alone is
10752 |   insufficient to predict response to selumetinib monotherapy for
10753 |   pediatric cancers.

10880 |   with treatment-refractory tumors harboring MAPK alterations demonstrated
10881 |   limited efficacy, indicating that pathway mutation status alone is
10882 |   insufficient to predict response to selumetinib monotherapy for
10883 |   pediatric cancers.

10944 | #### Evidence Items
10945 | Description:
10946 |   In this clinical trial, 18 patients with pancreatic cancer were
10947 |   recruited. In this case, the patient (74 y/F) with pancreatic cancer
10948 |   harboring, BRAF V600E, SMAD4 Loss, ERBB2 amplification, and, TP53 V218E,
10949 |   was treated with Trametinib, Trastuzumab, Lapatinib, and, Bevacizumab.
10950 |   The trial reported a progression-free survival (PFS) of 7.8 months and
10951 |   an overall survival (OS) of 9.4 months for this individual. The study
10952 |   concluded that the patient derived clinical benefit, defined as stable
10953 |   disease (SD) lasting at least 6 months, partial remission (PR), or
10954 |   complete remission (CR).

10994 | Abstract:
10995 |   Despite progress, 2-year pancreatic cancer survival remains dismal. We
10996 |   evaluated a biomarker-driven, combination/N-of-one strategy in 18
10997 |   patients (advanced/metastatic pancreatic cancer) (from Molecular Tumor
10998 |   Board). Targeted agents administered/patient = 2.5 (median) (range,
10999 |   1-4); first-line therapy (N = 5); second line, (N = 13). Comparing
11000 |   patients (high versus low degrees of matching) (matching score ≥50%
11001 |   versus <50%; reflecting number of alterations matched to targeted agents
11002 |   divided by number of pathogenic alterations), survival was significantly
11003 |   longer (hazard ratio [HR] 0.24 (95% confidence interval [CI],
11004 |   0.078-0.76, P = 0.016); clinical benefit rates (CBR) (stable disease ≥6
11005 |   months/partial/complete response) trended higher (45.5 vs 0.0%, P =
11006 |   0.10); progression-free survival, HR, 95% CI, 0.36 (0.12-1.10) (p =
11007 |   0.075). First versus ≥2nd-line therapy had higher CBRs (80.0 vs 7.7%, P
11008 |   = 0.008). No grade 3-4 toxicities occurred. The longest responder
11009 |   achieved partial remission (17.5 months) by co-targeting MEK and CDK4/6
11010 |   alterations (chemotherapy-free). Therefore, genomically matched targeted
11011 |   agent combinations were active in these advanced pancreatic cancers.
11012 |   Larger prospective trials are warranted.

11081 | #### Evidence Items
11082 | Description:
11083 |   5577 colon carcinoma tumors were evaluated for BRAF, KRAS, and mismatch
11084 |   repair status. From those successfully evaluated, 201 had microsatellite
11085 |   instability (MSI or MSI-H) and BRAF V600E, 72 had MSI and KRAS exon 2
11086 |   mutation, and 204 had MSI and no KRAS or BRAF mutation. In addition, 279
11087 |   were microsatellite stable (MSS or MSI-L) and BRAF V600E, 1450 had MSI
11088 |   and KRAS exon 2 mutation, and 2205 had MSI and no KRAS or BRAF mutation.
11089 | 
11090 |   MSS patients with BRAF V600E were associated with shorter time to
11091 |   recurrence (HR = 1.54, 95% CI = 1.23 to 1.92, P < .001).
11092 |   Overall survival in MSS with BRAF V600E was poorer than wild-type (HR =
11093 |   2.01, 95% CI = 1.56 to 2.57, P < .001).
11094 | 
11095 |   This prognostic effect was not seen in BRAF or KRAS mutant patients that
11096 |   had MSI tumors.

11127 | Abstract:
11128 |   The prognostic value of BRAF and KRAS mutations within microsatellite-
11129 |   unstable (MSI) and microsatellite-stable (MSS) subgroups of resected
11130 |   colon carcinoma patients remains controversial. We examined this
11131 |   question in prospectively collected biospecimens from stage III colon
11132 |   cancer with separate analysis of MSI and MSS tumors from patients
11133 |   receiving adjuvant FOLFOX +/- cetuximab in two adjuvant therapy
11134 |   trials.Three groups were defined: BRAF Mutant, KRAS Mutant, and double
11135 |   wild-type. The analytic strategy involved estimation of study-specific
11136 |   effects, assessment of homogeneity of results, and then analysis of
11137 |   pooled data as no differences in patient outcome were found between
11138 |   treatment arms in both trials. Associations of mutations with patient
11139 |   outcome were analyzed, and multivariable models were adjusted for
11140 |   treatment and relevant factors.Four thousand four hundred eleven tumors
11141 |   were evaluable for BRAF and KRAS mutations and mismatch repair status;
11142 |   3934 were MSS and 477 were MSI. In MSS patients, all BRAF V600E
11143 |   mutations (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.54, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.23
11144 |   to 1.92, P < .001), KRAS codon 12 alterations, and p.G13D mutations (HR
11145 |   = 1.60, 95% CI = 1.40 to 1.83, P < .001) were associated with shorter
11146 |   time to recurrence (TTR) and shorter survival after relapse (SAR; HR =
11147 |   3.02 , 95% CI = 2.32 to 3.93, P < .001, and HR = 1.20, 95% CI = 1.01 to
11148 |   1.44, P = .04, respectively). Overall survival (OS) in MSS patients was
11149 |   poorer for BRAF-mutant patients (HR = 2.01, 95% CI = 1.56 to 2.57, P <
11150 |   .001) and KRAS-mutant patients (HR = 1.62, 95% CI = 1.38 to 1.91, P <
11151 |   .001) vs wild-type. No prognostic role of KRAS or BRAF mutations was
11152 |   seen in MSI patients. Furthermore, no interaction was found between
11153 |   treatment arm (with or without cetuximab) and KRAS and BRAF mutations
11154 |   for TTR or OS in MSS patients.In a pooled analysis of resected stage III
11155 |   colon cancer patients receiving adjuvant FOLFOX, BRAF or KRAS mutations
11156 |   are independently associated with shorter TTR, SAR, and OS in patients
11157 |   with MSS, but not MSI, tumors. Future clinical trials in the adjuvant
11158 |   setting should consider these mutations as important stratification
11159 |   factors.
