Encorafenib Plus Cetuximab and Chemotherapy Demonstrates Safety, Efficacy in BRAF V600E–Mutant mCRC
January 22nd 2023The addition of mFOLFOX6 or FOLFIRI to the combination of encorafenib and cetuximab elicited encouraging antitumor activity and safety in patients with BRAF V600E-mutant metastatic colorectal cancer.
Patient-specific Marker Tracking Approach May Better Detect MRD in CRC
January 22nd 2023A novel Burning Rock patient-specific prognostic and potential therapeutic marker tracking approach demonstrated improved sensitivity in detecting circulating tumor DNA and identifying molecular residual disease compared with other approaches in patients with colorectal cancer following surgery.
ctDNA Could Assist in Early Response Assessment in Advanced CRC
January 22nd 2023Circulating tumor DNA could serve as an ideal biomarker to assess early response in patients with advanced colorectal cancer due to its short half-life compared with other tumor biomarkers, and it could enable the use of adaptive clinical study designs in the future.
FDA Approves Tucatinib Plus Trastuzumab for RAS Wild-type, HER2+ Metastatic Colorectal Cancer
The FDA has granted accelerated approval to tucatinib in combination with trastuzumab for adult patients with RAS wild-type, HER2-positive unresectable or metastatic colorectal cancer that has progressed after treatment with fluoropyrimidine-, oxaliplatin-, and irinotecan-based chemotherapy.
Tucatinib Plus Trastuzumab Could Address Need for New Standard of Care in HER2+ Metastatic CRC
January 18th 2023Tanios S. Bekaii-Saab, MD, FACP, expands on key data reported from the MOUNTAINEER trial, the potential effects of this regimen’s approval on the current treatment landscape, and the continued investigation of this and other targeted approaches in metastatic colorectal cancer.
Neoadjuvant Immunotherapy Elicits Strong Responses in Localized dMMR/MSI-H Colorectal Cancer
