BRAF mutations occur in 15% of colorectal patients. There are no targeted drugs approved by the FDA so far, and the prognosis is poor. Among them, BRAF V600E is the most common mutation.
Recently, the results of the Phase III BEACON CRC trial study announced: three-drug combination therapy of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) who had previously received second-line treatment of BRAF V600E mutation-encorafenib (Bratovi) + binimetinib (Mektovi) + cetuxima Monoclonal antibody (erbital), compared with the combination of irinotecan and cetuximab, can reduce the risk of death by 48%.

Array BioPharma, the manufacturer of Encorafenib and binimetinib, said in a press release that it intends to submit these data for marketing approval in the second half of 2019.

The US FDA previously granted the three-drug combination plan as a breakthrough treatment designation for the treatment of patients with BRAF V600E mutant metastatic kangker colorectal, which was used after failure of first-line or second-line treatment. This decision is based on the results of the safety introduction phase of the BEACON CRC trial (a trial to assess the safety of drugs).
In March 2019, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) updated the clinical practice guidelines for colorectal cancer oncology, combining encorafenib + binimetinib + EGFR monoclonal antibody (cetuximab) as a BRAF V600E mutant metastatic colorectal cancer patient. Type 2A treatment is recommended and should be used after 1 or 2 lines of treatment have failed.

This heavy study data may become the first targeted treatment plan for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer that does not contain chemotherapy drugs. This is undoubtedly an important good news for the population of patients with BRAF V600E mutant colorectal cancer who have a very high demand for effective treatment.
