SWOG S1406 trial
Background BRAF-mut is a rare (8%) and aggressive molecular mcrc subtype Anti-EGFRs (w/o chemotherapy) and BRAFi (w/o MEKi) have limited activity Preclinical and early phase 1/2 evidences suggested that anti-egfrs plus BRAFi targeted combinations have a manageable safety profile and encouraging activity Preclinical and early phase 1/2 evidences suggested that the addition of iritotecan to cetuximab-vemurafenib is tolerable and may further increase activity Data from randomized clinical trials were still lacking Hong et al, Cancer Discov 16

CheckMate 142 trial
Background In mcrc, MSI-high status is a rare (4%) and associated with aggressive course and poor response to conventional treatments, independently from BRAF mut MSI-high status is associated with hyper-mutated status and increase in neoantigen load, as well as upregulation of immune check-point signals A previous proof of concept study showed that pembrolizumab was active in MSI-high mcrc and non-colon cancers, but 0% activity was shown for MSS mcrc Angelova, Genome Biology 15; Dung, NEJM 15
