Description
Patients with BRAF-V600 mutated cancers were identified (n=122) and clinical response to vemurafenib was evaluated. Of the 20 patients with non-small-cell-lung cancer (17 with BRAF V600E, one with BRAF V600G and one with BRAF V600 unknown status), 19 were evaluable and the response rate to vemurafenib was 42%, tumor regression was observed in 14/19 patients, progression-free survival was 7.3 months, and 12-month overall survival was 66%.
