[A Case of BRAF V600E-Mutant Colorectal Cancer Treated Effectively by Encorafenib, Binimetinib, and Cetuximab Triple Therapy].
    Gan to kagaku ryoho. Cancer & chemotherapy, 2022, Volume: 49, Issue:10

    A 76-year-old woman was diagnosed with left-sided transverse colon cancer invading the pancreatic tail with multiple liver metastases and peritoneal dissemination. Preoperative diagnosis was cT4b(SI)N2aM1c(H3, P1), cStage Ⅳc, harboring BRAF V600E mutation. Transverse colostomy was performed, and FOLFOXIRI plus bevacizumab(BEV)was administered. After 12 chemotherapy cycles, the primary tumor and metastatic lesions showed partial response. Because of CEA elevating after 5-FU plus LV plus BEV as maintenance therapy was changed, the regimen was switched to encorafenib plus binimetinib plus cetuximab as the second-line chemotherapy. The patient developed dermatitis around the colostomy after the start of the second-line chemotherapy, resulting in temporally cetuximab monotherapy. After improvement of dermatitis, the patient resumed encorafenib plus binimetinib, improving liver metastases. Eight months after the start of the second- line, the patient has been administered with triple therapy and had stable disease status.

Encorafenib and binimetinib for the treatment of BRAF-mutated metastatic melanoma in the setting of combined hepatic and renal impairment.
    BMJ case reports, 2019, Sep-16, Volume: 12, Issue:9

    Inhibitors of BRAF, a gene coding a protein called B-raf, with or without inhibitors of MEK (MAPK/extracellular signal-regulated kinase) are often used as palliative treatment in BRAF-mutated metastatic melanoma. Recent data show improved progression-free survival with encorafenib with binimetinib, a newer BRAF/MEK inhibitor combination, compared with older agents, but there have been no reports of this treatment in the setting of renal and liver failure. We report a patient with disease-induced transaminitis and renal failure requiring dialysis who was successfully treated with encorafenib and binimetinib. His transaminitis improved and he was able to stop dialysis without any significant adverse effects during treatment, suggesting encorafenib with binimetinib may be used safely and effectively even in patients with end organ damage.
