Background: The BEACON CRC trial demonstrated survival benefit of combination therapy with encorafenib (ENCO) + cetuximab (CET) +/- binimetinib (BINI) in patients with RAS wild-type (WT)/BRAF V600E mutant metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). However, prognosis of those patients still be poor after the refractoriness to the BEACON combination therapy. One of resistant mechanisms to BRAF inhibitor has been reported as MAPK alterations including RAS mutation, similar to those for anti-EGFR antibody in patients with RAS/BRAF V600E WT mCRC. Promising results of rechallenge therapy with anti-EGFR antibody in patients with RAS/BRAF V600E WT mCRC and with combination of BRAF inhibitor + MEK inhibitor in patients with BRAF V600 mutant melanoma suggest the treatment strategy of rechallenge therapy with the BEACON triplet therapy in patients with RAS WT/BRAF V600E mutant mCRC. Methods: TRIDENTE trial is a multicenter phase II trial to assess efficacy and safety of rechallenge therapy with ENCO + BINI + CET in patients with RAS WT/BRAF V600E mutant mCRC after the refractoriness to either the BEACON doublet or triplet therapy. Key eligibility criteria includes RAS WT/BRAF V600E mutant mCRC; ≥ 20 years old; ECOG PS 0-1; refractory or intolerant to at least one fluoropyrimidine-based regimen (including irinotecan or oxaliplatin); refractory or intolerant to anti-PD-1 antibody if patients with MSI-high; history of previous combination therapy containing ENCO + CET with at least partial response by RECIST v1.1; confirmed disease progression within 4 weeks after last administration of previous ENCO; ≥ 4 months of period between the last administration of previous ENCO and the start of study treatment. Enrolled patients receive the combination therapy with ENCO (300 mg, QD), BINI (45 mg, BID), and CET (initially 400 mg/m2, and subsequently 250 mg/m2, QW) as the study treatment. Primary endpoint is the objective response rate (ORR) by investigators’ assessment in patients receiving at least one dose of study treatment. A target sample size is calculated to be 21 on the hypothesis that the threshold ORR is 3% and expected ORR is 20%, with a significant level of 5% (one-sided) and power of 80%. Secondary endpoint includes progression-free and overall survivals, disease control rate, and safety. Exploratory molecular analysis is performed using targeted next-generation sequencing in circulating-tumor DNA at the timepoints of baseline and discontinuation of study treatment. As of September 19, 2022, 8 patients have been enrolled. Clinical trial information: jRCTs031210511.
