Are there data for treating patients with metastatic NSCLC with BRAF nonV600E mutations with BRAF and MEK inhibitors?
Are there any data regarding response to checkpoint inhibitors for these patients?
Answer from: Medical Oncologist at Academic Institution
There is limited data on the efficacy of RAF and MEK inhibitors in the treatment of patients with lung adenocarcinoma that harbor a BRAF non-V600E mutation. Published series of small numbers of patients suggest that Dabrafenib, Vemurafenib, and Trametinib are less active in this patient population c...
Answer from: Medical Oncologist at Community Practice
Braf inhibitors were less effective in this patient population compared to those whose tumors harbor BRAF V600E mutations in the two main studies that focused on Braf NSCLC.
