Purpose: LOGIC 2 (NCT02159066), a multicenter, open-label, two-part, phase II study, assessed encorafenib plus binimetinib combined with a third targeted agent after tumor progression on encorafenib plus binimetinib in patients with locally advanced, unresectable or metastatic BRAFV600-mutant melanoma.
Patients And Methods: Adults with locally advanced, unresectable or metastatic BRAFV600-mutant melanoma who were BRAF inhibitor/MEK inhibitor (BRAFi/MEKi) treatment-naïve or pretreated received encorafenib plus binimetinib (part I/run-in). Based on the genomic testing at disease progression following encorafenib plus binimetinib, patients were assigned to one of four treatment arms to receive encorafenib plus binimetinib with an appropriate molecularly targeted agent (ribociclib, infigratinib, capmatinib, or buparlisib; part II). The primary endpoint was best overall response; safety, biomarkers, pharmacokinetics, and other efficacy endpoints were also assessed.
Results: In part I/run-in, 75 BRAFi/MEKi-naïve patients and 83 BRAFi/MEKi-pretreated patients were treated; in part II, 58 patients were treated (ribociclib, n = 38; infigratinib, n = 1; capmatinib, n = 13; buparlisib, n = 6). The overall confirmed response rate was 73.3% [95% confidence interval (CI), 61.9-82.9] in BRAFi/MEKi-naïve patients, 25.3% (95% CI, 16.4-36.0) in pretreated patients, 2.6% (95% CI, 0.1-13.8) in the ribociclib arm, and 0% in the other three arms. Adverse events were manageable and consistent with the known safety profile of each drug.
Conclusions: LOGIC 2 supports the use of encorafenib plus binimetinib for treatment-naïve and previously treated, locally advanced, unresectable or metastatic BRAFV600-mutant melanoma. However, adding a third targeted agent following disease progression did not show meaningful efficacy; further research is needed to identify other therapeutic targets to circumvent resistance.

Background: V-Raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1 (BRAF) mutations are present in approximately 5% of Japanese patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) who receive BRAF-targeted triplet therapy, consisting of encorafenib (a BRAF inhibitor), binimetinib (a mitogen-activated protein kinase inhibitor [MEKi]), and cetuximab. This combination therapy is associated with an increased risk of cardiac dysfunction (CD), primarily attributed to MEKi. However, the detailed clinical course of this adverse event remains unclear.

The management of advanced, unresectable, or metastatic BRAFV600-mutated melanoma is complex, particularly regarding therapy sequencing with targeted therapies (TT) and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). The REMINISCENCE project aimed to enhance individualized therapy approaches by analyzing case reports of patients undergoing encorafenib and binimetinib (EB) therapy. This report discusses three melanoma patients with brain metastases treated in Germany and Austria, emphasizing personalized treatment strategies in BRAFV600-mutated melanoma, particularly when both ICI and TT are available.

Background: BRAF V600E mutation is a key oncogenic driver commonly found in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC). Dabrafenib plus trametinib combination therapy targeting this mutation has shown promising activity in clinical trials. This study aimed to verify the real-world effectiveness of this combination therapy in patients with BRAF V600E-positive PTC and ATC.

Background: Colorectal choriocarcinoma is a rare condition with a poor prognosis, and no standard chemotherapy regimen has been established. A combination of cetuximab, encorafenib, and binimetinib as adjuvant chemotherapy may be effective for colorectal choriocarcinoma. This treatment approach has not been previously reported for this rare malignancy.
