BRAF V600E | colorectal cancer | sensitive | Erlotinib + Vemurafenib | Phase Ib/II | Actionable | In a Phase Ib/II trial (EVICT), the combination of Zelboraf (vemurafenib) and Tarceva (erlotinib) resulted in an overall response rate of 16% (5/31; 5 partial responses), a clinical benefit rate of 65% (20/31), a median progression-free survival of 3.9 months, and a median overall survival of 6.3 months in patients with colorectal cancer harboring BRAF V600E (PMID: 36638198). | 36638198 |
BRAF V600E | colorectal cancer | sensitive | Erlotinib + Vemurafenib | Preclinical - Cell line xenograft | Actionable | In a preclinical study, Zelboraf (vemurafenib) treatment in combination with Tarceva (erlotinib) enhanced tumor growth inhibition and increased survival in a cell line xenograft model of colorectal cancer harboring BRAF V600E compared to either agent alone (PMID: 22180495). | 22180495 |
BRAF V600E | colorectal cancer | sensitive | Erlotinib + Vemurafenib | Preclinical - Cell line xenograft | Actionable | In a preclinical study, the combination of Zelboraf (vemurafenib) and Tarceva (erlotinib) resulted in improved inhibition of tumor growth in BRAF V600E mutant human colon cancer cell line xenograft models compared to either drug as monotherapy (PMID: 22448344). | 22448344 |
