Patients with metastatic colorectal cancer harboring BRAF V600E mutations benefitted from first-line treatment with the targeted therapies Braftovi(encorafenib) and Erbitux(cetuximab) plus a mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy regimen, according to results from the phase III BREAKWATER trial led by researchers at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.
Genentech announced positive topline results from the overall survival analysis of the phase III INAVO120 study investigating Itovebi (inavolisib) in combination with palbociclib (Ibrance) and fulvestrant for people with PIK3CA-mutated, hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative, endocrine-resistant, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer. 
A phase II trial found that for patients with HER2+ metastatic colorectal cancer, dual HER2-inhibitor therapy can be a similarly efficacious but less toxic alternative to EGFR inhibitor therapy. Exploratory analysis suggests greater HER2 amplification in a tumor may be associated with greater clinical benefit of dual HER2 inhibitor vs EGFR inhibitor therapy.
FDA approved AstraZeneca and Daiichi Sankyo’s Enhertu (trastuzumab deruxtecan) for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable or metastatic hormone receptor-positive, HER2-low (IHC 1+ or IHC 2+/ISH-) or HER2-ultralow (IHC 0 with membrane staining) breast cancer, as determined by the FDA approved test, that has progressed on one or more endocrine therapies in the metastatic setting.
