| Therapy Name | Cetuximab + Encorafenib + Fluorouracil + Irinotecan + Leucovorin |
| Synonyms | Encorafenib + Cetuximab + FOLFIRI |
| Therapy Description | |
| Drug Name | Trade Name | Synonyms | Drug Classes | Drug Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cetuximab | Erbitux | IMC-C225 | EGFR Antibody 77 | Erbitux (cetuximab) is a monoclonal antibody directed against EGFR, which inhibits signal transduction and cell proliferation (PMID: 28695301). Erbitux (cetuximab) is FDA-approved for use in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and KRAS wild-type, EGFR-positive colorectal cancer, and in combination with Braftovi (encorafenib) with or without mFOLFOX6 in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer with BRAF V600E (FDA.gov). |
| Encorafenib | Braftovi | LGX818 | BRAF Inhibitor 26 | Braftovi (encorafenib) is an inhibitor of Raf kinase with selective activity against BRAF V600E, resulting in growth inhibition (PMID: 24864047). Braftovi (encorafenib) is FDA approved for use in combination with Mektovi (binimetinib) in patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma with a BRAF V600E or V600K mutation, and in patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer harboring BRAF V600E, in combination with Erbitux (cetuximab) with or without mFOLFOX6 in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer with BRAF V600E (FDA.gov). |
| Fluorouracil | Adrucil | 5-FU|5-Fluorouracil | Chemotherapy - Antimetabolite 14 | Adrucil (fluorouracil) is an antimetabolite chemotherapeutic agent that interferes with DNA and RNA synthesis, thereby preventing cancer cell growth (PMID: 28520376). Adrucil (fluorouracil) is FDA-approved for use in patients with adenocarcinoma of the colon, rectum, breast, stomach, and pancreas (FDA.gov). |
| Irinotecan | Camptosar | CPT-11 | TOPO1 inhibitor 11 | Camptosar (irinotecan) inhibits Topoisomerase-I activity, resulting in inhibition of DNA replication, and potentially leading to cell death and is indicated as a component of first-line therapy in combination with 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin for patients with metastatic or recurrent colorectal carcinoma (FDA.gov). |
| Leucovorin | Wellcovorin | Calcium folinate|Calcium citrovorum factor|folinic acid | Chemotherapy - Antimetabolite 14 | Wellcovorin (leucovorin) is a metabolite of folate that enhances the efficacy of fluoruracil (PMID: 32490554). |

| BRAF V600E | colorectal cancer | sensitive | Cetuximab + Encorafenib + Fluorouracil + Irinotecan + Leucovorin | FDA approved - On Companion Diagnostic | Actionable | In a Phase III trial (BREAKWATER) that supported FDA approval, Braftovi (encorafenib) in combination with Erbitux (cetuximab) and FOLFIRI significantly improved objective response rate (64.4%, 47/73 vs 39.2%, 29/74; OR=2.756, p=0.0011) and progression-free survival (15.2 vs 8.3 mo; HR=0.44, p=0.0002) compared to FOLFIRI with or without bevacizumab in metastatic colorectal cancer patients harboring BRAF V600E, and median overall survival was not estimable vs 20.3 mo (HR=0.56) (PMID: 42219860; NCT04607421). | detail... detail... detail... 42219860 |
| BRAF V600E | colorectal cancer | sensitive | Cetuximab + Encorafenib + Fluorouracil + Irinotecan + Leucovorin | Preclinical - Pdx | Actionable | In a preclinical study, treatment with the combination of Erbitux (cetuximab), Braftovi (encorafenib), and FOLFIRI resulted in increased tumor growth inhibition and tumor regression compared to Erbitux (cetuximab) plus Braftovi (encorafenib) or FOLFIRI alone in patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models of colorectal cancer harboring BRAF V600E and increased survival and tumor growth inhibition in cell line xenograft models (PMID: 37040395). | 37040395 |
