Description
In a retrospective study, authors analyzed BRAF V600 mutated melanoma metastases derived from 10 patients treated with the combination of dabrafenib and trametinib for resistance mechanisms and genetic correlates of response. An acquired resistance mechanism activating the MAPK pathway was identified in 9 tumors; BRAF amplification (n=4), MEK1/2 mutation (n=3), NRAS mutations (n=3). Among them, mutual exclusive alterations were BRAF amplification (n=4), MEK2 C125S (n=1), and NRAS Q61K (n=2).
