Abstract

Previous studies have reported an acquiredBRAF V600E mutation as a potential resistance mechanism to osimertinib treatment in advanced NSCLC patients with an activating mutation in EGFR. However, the therapeutic effect of combining dabrafenib and trametinib with osimertinib remains unclear. Here we report treatment efficacy in two cases with acquired BRAF V600E mutations. Two patients with anEGFR exon 19 deletion and a T790 M mutation, both treated with osimertinib, acquired a BRAF V600E mutation at disease progression. Following the recommendation of the molecular tumor board, a concurrent combination of dabrafenib and trametinib plus osimertinib was administered. Because of toxicity, one patient ultimately received a reduced dose of dabrafenib and trametinib combined with a normal dose of osimertinib. Clinical response in this patient lasted for 13.4 months. Re-biopsy upon tumor progression revealed loss ofBRAF V600E and emergence of EGFR C797S. The other patient, treated with full doses of the combined therapy, had progression with metastases in lung and brain one month after starting therapy. BRAF V600E may be a resistance mechanism induced by osimertinib in EGFR-mutated advanced NSCLC. Combined treatment using dabrafenib/t...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
