Abstract Text | More effective treatments are needed for low-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (LGSOC). Our patient, who suffers from metastatic LGSOC, had received all established treatments. Sequencing analysis revealed an activating BRAF mutation. Therefore, combined treatment with BRAF and MEK inhibitors, which is the gold standard in malignant melanoma, was initiated. After eight months of therapy, the response was assessed as complete and the treatment is still, 3.5 years after initiation, of benefit. To our knowledge, no complete response on combined BRAF and MEK inhibitor treatment of low-grade serous ovarian cancer has previously been reported. |

BRAF V600E | ovarian serous carcinoma | predicted - sensitive | Dabrafenib + Trametinib | Case Reports/Case Series | Actionable | In a clinical case study, Tafinlar (dabrafenib) and Mekinist (trametinib) combination therapy resulted in a complete response after 8 months of treatment in a patient with low-grade serous ovarian carcinoma harboring BRAF V600E (PMID: 33043759). | 33043759 |
BRAF V600E | ovarian serous carcinoma | predicted - sensitive | Binimetinib + Encorafenib | Case Reports/Case Series | Actionable | In a clinical case study, Braftovi (encorafenib) and Mektovi (binimetinib) combination therapy resulted in durable stable disease lasting at least 3.5 years in a patient with low-grade serous ovarian carcinoma harboring BRAF V600E, who was previously treated with the combination of Tafinlar (dabrafenib) and Mekinist (trametinib) (PMID: 33043759). | 33043759 |
