Abstract Text

BRAF V600 mutations occur in various nonmelanoma cancers. We undertook a histology-independent phase 2 "basket" study of vemurafenib in BRAF V600 mutation-positive nonmelanoma cancers.We enrolled patients in six prespecified cancer cohorts; patients with all other tumor types were enrolled in a seventh cohort. A total of 122 patients with BRAF V600 mutation-positive cancer were treated, including 27 patients with colorectal cancer who received vemurafenib and cetuximab. The primary end point was the response rate; secondary end points included progression-free and overall survival.In the cohort with non-small-cell lung cancer, the response rate was 42% (95% confidence interval [CI], 20 to 67) and median progression-free survival was 7.3 months (95% CI, 3.5 to 10.8). In the cohort with Erdheim-Chester disease or Langerhans'-cell histiocytosis, the response rate was 43% (95% CI, 18 to 71); the median treatment duration was 5.9 months (range, 0.6 to 18.6), and no patients had disease progression during therapy. There were anecdotal responses among patients with pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma, anaplastic thyroid cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, salivary-duct cancer, ovarian cancer, and clear-cell sarcoma and among patients with colorectal cancer who received vemurafenib and cetuximab. Safety was similar to that in prior studies of vemurafenib for melanoma.BRAF V600 appears to be a targetable oncogene in some, but not all, nonmelanoma cancers. Preliminary vemurafenib activity was observed in non-small-cell lung cancer and in Erdheim-Chester disease and Langerhans'-cell histiocytosis. The histologic context is an important determinant of response in BRAF V600-mutated cancers. (Funded by F. Hoffmann-La Roche/Genentech; ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT01524978.).

Filtering

Case insensitive filtering will display rows if any text in any cell matches the filter term
Use simple literal full or partial string matches
Separate multiple filter terms with a space. Any order may be used (i. e. a b c and c b a are equivalent )
Filtering will only apply to rows that are already loaded on the page. Filtering has no impact on query parameters.
Use quotes to match on a longer phrase with spaces (i.e. "mtor c1483f")

Sorting

Generally, the default sort order for tables is set to be first column ascending; however, specific tables may set a different default sort order.
Click on any column header arrows to sort by that column
Hold down the Shift key and click multiple columns to sort by more than one column. Be sure to set ascending or descending order for a given column before moving on to the next column.

BRAF V600X	colorectal cancer	sensitive	Cetuximab + Vemurafenib	Phase II	Actionable	In a Phase II trial, treatment with the combination of Zelboraf (vemurafenib) and Erbitux (cetuximab) resulted in an overall response rate of 4% (1/26), stable disease in 69% (18/26), and a median progression-free survival of 3.7 months in patients with BRAF V600-mutant colorectal cancer (PMID: 26287849; NCT01524978).	26287849
BRAF V600X	thyroid cancer	predicted - sensitive	Vemurafenib	Case Reports/Case Series	Actionable	In a Phase II trial, treatment with Zelboraf (vemurafenib) resulted in an overall response rate of 29% (2/7), with 1 complete response and 1 partial response, in patients with anaplastic thyroid cancer patients with BRAF V600 mutations (PMID: 26287849; NCT01524978).	26287849
BRAF V600X	cholangiocarcinoma	predicted - sensitive	Vemurafenib	Case Reports/Case Series	Actionable	In a Phase II trial, treatment with Zelboraf (vemurafenib) resulted in partial response in 12% (1/8) and stable disease in 50% (4/8) of cholangiocarcinoma patients with BRAF V600 mutations (PMID: 26287849; NCT01524978).	26287849
BRAF V600X	lung non-small cell carcinoma	predicted - sensitive	Vemurafenib	Case Reports/Case Series	Actionable	In a Phase II trial, treatment with Zelboraf (vemurafenib) resulted in an overall response rate of 42% (8/19, 8 partial responses) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer harboring BRAF V600 mutations, with a median progression-free survival of 7.3 months (PMID: 26287849; NCT01524978}.	26287849
