COLUMBUS 7-year update: A randomized, open-label, phase III trial of encorafenib plus binimetinib versus vemurafenib or encorafenib in patients with BRAF V600E/K-mutant melanoma [PDF]
Background: Treatment with encorafenib plus binimetinib and encorafenib monotherapy is associated with improved progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) compared with vemurafenib in patients with BRAF V600E/K-mutant metastatic melanoma ...

Real‐World Outcomes of Adjuvant Therapy in Stage III Melanoma and the Impact of Somatic Mutations
ABSTRACT Purpose A significant proportion of patients with locoregional (stage III) cutaneous melanoma recur despite adjuvant systemic therapy. Staging criteria and surgical nodal management have changed since the trials were completed. Data assessing the effect of systemic therapy compared to surveillance are limited, and factors associated with ...

Real‐World Molecular Testing in European Early‐Onset Colorectal Cancer
ABSTRACT Purpose The global incidence and mortality of early‐age onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC, or CRC diagnosed under 50 years) has increased in recent decades. High‐risk surveillance and personalised oncological treatment may improve patients' outcomes.

(A) NRAS mutations in melanoma lock the NRAS protein in its active state, driving constitutive activation of the MAPK pathway and promoting cell proliferation. Activation of RAF proteins by RAS mutations involves not only BRAF but also CRAF. (B) Inhibition of the downstream kinase MEK by mirdametinib reduces signaling to the ERK kinase but also ...

POLARIS: A phase 2 trial of encorafenib plus binimetinib evaluating high-dose and standard-dose regimens in patients with BRAF V600-mutant melanoma with brain metastasis. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: POLARIS (phase 2 [ph2]; NCT03911869) evaluated encorafenib (BRAF inhibitor) in combination with binimetinib (MEK1/2 inhibitor) in BRAF/MEK inhibitor-naïve patients with BRAF V600-mutant melanoma with asymptomatic brain metastases.

Sequencing of Checkpoint or BRAF/MEK Inhibitors on Brain Metastases in Melanoma [PDF]
Background: The impact of the order of treatment with checkpoint inhibitors or BRAF/MEK inhibitors on the development of brain metastases in patients with metastatic unresectable BRAFV600-mutant melanoma is unknown. The SECOMBIT trial examined the impact
