Future Oncol. 2024;20(33):2503-2508. doi: 10.1080/14796694.2024.2391270. Epub 2024 Sep 3.

Abstract

Drs. Ramalingam and Carlisle discuss the incidence and pathophysiology of BRAF V600E-mutant metastatic non-small cell lung cancer and current treatment options. The podcast provides an overview of the data from the recent Pfizer-sponsored phase 2 PHAROS (NCT03915951) study, which were the basis for the recent US Food and Drug Administration approval of encorafenib plus binimetinib for BRAF V600E-mutant metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.

Keywords: BRAF; binimetinib; encorafenib; non-small cell lung cancer; podcast.
