Overview

Based on the upstream signaling features of BRAFV600E and the bypass feedback mechanisms, considering the pro-apoptotic effects of chemotherapy and the synergistic effects of targeted therapy, previous IMPROVEMENT trial creatively explored a balanced chemotherapy-targeted combination approach (FOLFIRI + Vemurafenib + Cetuximab) in advanced colorectal cancer patients with BRAF V600E mutaiton using a signle-arm study design, demonstrating significant therapeutic efficacy in these patietns . To further validate the effectiveness and safety of this regimen and to solidify its clinical value, it is crucial to conduct a randomized, controlled trial. Investigators plan to use the current standard regimen as a control to compare this strategy (FOLFIRI + Vemurafenib + Cetuximab) on a large cohort of patients with BRAFV600E-mutant advanced colorectal cancer in the first-line setting, focusing on its efficacy and safety.
