Description
This meta-analysis of 7 randomized control trials evaluating overall survival (OS) (8 for progression free survival) could not definitely state that survival benefit of anti-EGFR monoclonal antibodies is limited to patients with wild type BRAF. In other words, the authors believe that there is insufficient data to justify the exclusion of anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody therapy for patients with mutant BRAF. In these studies, mutant BRAF specifically meant the V600E mutation.
