Background: Among patients with MSI-H/dMMR CRC, BRAF mutations occur in approximately 30%. MSI-H/dMMR and BRAF mutations are both associated with poor prognosis; in patients who have both biomarkers, poor prognosis is thought to be driven by the BRAF mutation. Pembrolizumab is indicated for the treatment of patients with MSI-H/dMMR unresectable or metastatic CRC (mCRC). The BRAF inhibitor encorafenib, in combination with cetuximab, an anti-EGFR antibody, is indicated for previously treated patients with BRAF V600E-mutant mCRC. Currently, there are no first-line treatment options indicated specifically for patients with both MSI-H/dMMR and BRAF V600E-mutant mCRC. To assess the safety and efficacy of combining pembrolizumab with encorafenib + cetuximab, the SEAMARK study will evaluate this combination vs pembrolizumab alone in patients with previously untreated BRAF V600E-mutant MSI-H/dMMR mCRC. Methods: SEAMARK (NCT05217446) is an open-label, multicenter, randomized, phase 2 study. Approximately 104 patients (randomized 1:1; stratified by Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status [ECOG PS] 0 vs 1) will receive either pembrolizumab + encorafenib + cetuximab or pembrolizumab. Enrolled patients must be aged ≥16 or ≥18 years (per country-specific regulations) and have previously untreated BRAF V600E-mutant MSI-H/dMMR mCRC; measurable disease (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors 1.1); ECOG PS 0 or 1; and adequate bone marrow, hepatic, and renal function. Patients who received prior treatment with BRAF/EGFR inhibitors or immune checkpoint inhibitors, or who have brain metastases (unless radiologically stable) or RAS mutation (or unknown RAS status), will be excluded. The primary endpoint is investigator-assessed progression-free survival. Secondary endpoints include safety and tolerability, overall survival, objective response rate, duration of response, and quality of life. Enrollment started in July 2022. Clinical trial information: NCT05217446.
