Abstract Text | Background Recurring oncogenic non-V600E BRAF mts can be identified in many cancers. Preclinical data indicate that they can be targeted with BRAF + MEK inhibitors. BEAVER is an investigator-initiated study designed to test the safety and efficacy of binimetinib and encorafenib (B+E) in patients (pts) with non-V600E BRAF mts. Methods Key eligibility criteria are: pts with advanced solid tumors with BRAF non-V600E activating (class 1 and 2) or inhibitory (class 3) mts, and no prior BRAF/MEKi. Pts receive binimetinib (45mg PO BID) and encorafenib (450mg PO daily) on a 28-day cycle until intolerable toxicity or progression. The primary objective is objective response rate (ORR) per RECIST 1.1. In this Simon 2-stage trial, ≥1 of 7 pts must have a response before commencing stage 2 (26 pts total). Secondary objectives include: safety, DCR, and PFS. Results From Jun 2019 to Apr 2021, 10 pts were enrolled; 10 are evaluable for safety and 9 for efficacy. Tumor types were: melanoma and colon (n=2 each), gallbladder, lung, breast, ampullary, pancreatic and uterine (n=1 each). Median age was 61 yrs (range 40-72). 1 pt had a class 1, 4 pts had class 2, and 5 pts had class 3, non-V600E BRAF mts. Common treatment-related adverse events were mostly Grade ≤ 2, and included: Blurred vision (70%), fatigue (60%) and nausea (50%). Dose reductions were required in 5/10 pts (50%) due to: blurred vision (20%), central serous retinopathy, malaise, increased lipase and nausea (10% each). Eye toxicities were reversible with dose interruption or reduction. Drug-related Grade 3 AEs occurred in 2/10 pts and included: malaise, confusion, fatigue and increased lipase (10% each). ORR was 22% (2/9) with a confirmed PR in a pt with ampullary cancer (BRAF D594G, class 3) who continues on treatment for 5.4+ months, and an unconfirmed PR in a melanoma pt (BRAF G469S, class 2) treated for 6.5 months. One gallbladder cancer pt (BRAF D594N, class 3) had SD, treated for 4.4 months, and 6 pts had PD as best response. Conclusions Preliminary data confirmed the safety of B+E and demonstrated evidence of anti-tumor activity in advanced cancer pts with non-V600E BRAF mts. Enrolment in the BEAVER trial is ongoing.
