Intracranial antitumor efficacy of combination treatment with encorafenib plus binimetinib in BRAF V600E-mutated anaplastic thyroid carcinoma. (PubMed, Auris Nasus Larynx)
The patient was initially diagnosed with T4bN1bM1 and experienced disease progression following surgery and lenvatinib treatment. This possibility is supported by reliable evidence for the use of BRAF plus MEK inhibitor for brain metastasis from BRAF-mutated malignant melanoma. We conclude that encorafenib plus binimetinib treatment for brain metastasis from BRAF-mutated thyroid cancer is a safe and effective treatment choice.

Defining the Prognostic Significance of BRAF V600E in Early-Stage Colon Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. (PubMed, Curr Oncol)
BRAF V600E is associated with inferior prognoses compared to BRAF WT in early-stage CC. This finding will help optimize trial design for this population.

Development and validation of a quick and sensitive UPLC-MS/MS method for measuring ensartinib in HLMs: investigation of structural alerts associated with metabolic lability and in silico toxicity. (PubMed, Analyst)
EST and Encorafenib (ECB as the internal standard) were differentiated using an isocratic mobile phase system on a reversed stationary phase (Eclipse Plus C18) column. In silico data proposed that minor structural modifications to the dichlorophenyl moiety or the piperazine ring during drug design may enhance the safety profile and metabolic stability relative to the properties of EST. Evaluating the EST metabolic stability and in silico ADME characteristics is essential for advancing innovative therapeutic research focused on improving metabolic stability.

Unmet needs and emerging therapeutics in low-grade serous ovarian carcinoma: from chemoresistance to precision medicine. (PubMed, Future Oncol)
Notably, the recent US Food and Drug Administration approval of the avutometinib/defactinib combination for KRAS-mutated recurrent LGSOC marks a significant milestone in targeted therapy for this disease. Despite these advances, challenges remain in optimizing sequencing strategies and overcoming acquired resistance. This review addresses the importance of understanding the distinct pathophysiology of LGSOC, diagnostic challenges, limitations of conventional treatments, and evolving therapeutic approaches in LGSOC.

Ophthalmic Toxicities in BEACON Triplet Therapy for BRAF V600E-Mutant Colorectal Cancer: A Case Series. (PubMed, J Anus Rectum Colon)
The BEACON regimen, comprising cetuximab, encorafenib, and binimetinib, is a critical treatment for BRAF-mutant metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). These cases highlight the importance of early recognition and proactive management of ocular toxicity in patients receiving BEACON therapy. Regular ophthalmological monitoring and appropriate dose adjustments are essential to prevent visual damage while maintaining treatment efficacy.
