Upfront progression under pembrolizumab followed by a complete response after encorafenib and cetuximab treatment in BRAF V600E-mutated and microsatellite unstable metastatic colorectal cancer patient: A case report.
    Genes, chromosomes & cancer, 2022, Volume: 61, Issue:2

    Two new treatments have recently become standard care for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC): encorafenib (BRAF inhibitor) associated with cetuximab (anti-EGFR) in the second or third line of chemotherapy for BRAF V600E tumors, and pembrolizumab (an anti PD-1 immune checkpoint inhibitor) for tumors harboring microsatellite instability (MSI)-high and/or deficient mismatch repair (dMMR). Furthermore, 30% of BRAF V600E mutated mCRC are MSI/dMMR through a sporadic hypermethylation of the promoter of hMLH1. We report here, for the first time, the case of a patient with BRAF V600E, PIK3CA, and SMAD4 mutated and dMMR/MSI mCRC, in whom we observed an atypical response pattern under the sequence of pembrolizumab followed by the doublet encorafenib and cetuximab treatment. The patient was progressive after a single cycle of pembrolizumab followed by a rapid complete response after only 2 months of treatment with encorafenib and cetuximab, discovered during R0 cytoreduction surgery for peritoneal carcinomatosis.
