Abstract

Background Acquired mutations within bypass pathways including BRAF V600E have been observed in post-osimertinib progression in EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The combination of dabrafenib and trametinib is currently Food and Drug Administration-approved in BRAF V600E-mutant NSCLC. However, the application of osimertinib and dabrafenib and trametinib in the setting of acquired BRAF V600E mutation resistance from osimertinib therapy has not been clearly defined. In this case series, we evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of continued osimertinib in combination with dabrafenib and trametinib in BRAF V600E acquired EGFR-mutant NSCLC. Case Description We retrospectively reviewed our clinical patient cohort at the University of California San Diego and patients from published case studies. Individuals who had metastatic EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma treated with osimertinib at any line whom subsequently developed an acquired BRAF V600E mutation confirmed by next-generation sequencing were included for analysis. All patients had subsequent dabrafenib and trametinib in combination with osimertinib after detection of the novel BRAF V600E mutation post-osimertinib therapy. We identified three cases from our practice and nine cases from literature review. In our study cohort (n=12), we observed a median progression-free survival of 7 months on triplet therapy (osimertinib, dabrafenib, and trametinib) post progression on osimertinib, median overall survival of…

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health. Reported size: 12 participants or records.
