BRAF Mutated NSCLC: Disease Understanding and Treatment Algorithm

BRAF Mutated NSCLC Overview
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer accounted for approximately 85% of all lung cancers. It can be defined as any type of epithelial lung cancer other than SCLC. It is mainly subcategorized into adenocarcinomas, squamous cell carcinomas, large cell carcinomas and several other types that occur less frequently include adenosquamous carcinomas, and sarcomatoid carcinomas. In these subtypes adenocarcinoma accounts for highest number of cases, i.e., approximately 47% followed by Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Large Cell Carcinoma.

There are several mutation associated with NSCLC but the most common are EGFR, KRAS, ROS-1 , BRAF , BRAF , PD-L1 expression and others. Among all the mutations BRAF accounted for approximately 5% of the total cases of NSCLC.
BRAF mutated NSCLC is now recognized as a rare form of lung cancer. The biologic behavior of BRAF mutated lung tumors tends to be more aggressive. The one unique aspects of BRAF mutated NSCLC, which differentiates it from other molecularly driven tumors such as EGFR, ALK, and ROS1, is that patients with BRAF V600E-mutant NSCLC tend to be patients with a smoking history. The BRAF gene encodes for a serine/threonine kinase that belongs to the RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK axis that regulates cellular growth.

BRAF Mutated NSCLC Diagnosis
For diagnosis of mutation associated with NSCLC a laboratory test is done to check for certain genes, proteins, or other molecules in a sample of tissue, blood, or other body fluid. Molecular tests check for certain gene or chromosome changes that occur in NSCLC.

BRAF Mutated NSCLC Treatment
There is only single US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Medicines Agency (EMA) approved product is present for the treatment of BRAF mutated NSCLC, i.e., dabrafenib and trametinib combination. Current treatment choices for BRAF mutated NSCLC includes targeted therapies, platinum based chemotherapy and off-label therapies.

BRAF Mutated NSCLC Epidemiology
The BRAF mutated NSCLC epidemiology division provides the insights about historical and current BRAF Mutated NSCLC patient pool and forecasted trend for each seven major countries. It helps to recognize the causes of current and forecasted trends by exploring numerous studies and views of key opinion leaders. This part of the DelveInsight report also provides the diagnosed patient pool and their trends along with assumptions undertaken.

Key Findings
The total incident cases of BRAF mutated NSCLC in the 7MM were found to be 19,275 in 2017 which is expected to grow during the study period, i.e., 2017–2030.
The disease epidemiology covered in the report provides historical as well as forecasted BRAF mutated NSCLC epidemiology [segmented as Total Incident Cases of NSCLC, Total Incident Cases of NSCLC Patients by Histology, Total Diagnosed Cases of NSCLC Patients by Stages, Total NSCLC Cases of Patients by Genetic mutation/Biomarkers, and Treated Patient Pool of NSCLC] scenario of BRAF mutated NSCLC in the 7MM covering United States, EU5 countries (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and United Kingdom), and Japan from 2017 to 2030.

BRAF Mutated NSCLC Marketed Drugs
Tafinlar (dabrafenib) in combination with Mekinist (trametinib): Novartis Pharmaceuticals
Tafinlar (Dabrafenib) in combination with Mekinist (Trametinib)is indicated for the treatment BRAFV600E mutationin various types of cancers. This combination is approved for the treatment of patients with metastatic NSCLC with BRAF V600E mutation as detected by an FDA-approved test.In addition to this, this combination is also use in patients with stage III resectable, unresectable or metastatic melanoma who have a BRAF V600 mutation.
Tafinlar is an inhibitor of some mutated forms of BRAF kinases with in vitro IC50 values of 0.65, 0.5, and 1.84 nM for BRAF V600E, BRAF V600K, and BRAF V600D enzymes, respectively. Dabrafenib also inhibits wild-type BRAF and CRAF kinases with IC50 values of 3.2 and 5.0 nM, respectively, and other kinases such as SIK1, NEK11, and LIMK1 at higher concentrations. Some mutations in the BRAF gene, including those that result in BRAF V600E, can result in constitutively activated BRAF kinases that may stimulate tumor cell growth.

In June 2017, the US FDA approved Tafinlar and Mekinist for the treatment of patients with metastatic NSCLC with BRAF V600E mutation as detected by a USFDA approved test. These approvals are the first specifically for the treatment of patients with BRAF V600E–mutant metastatic NSCLC. Also in In April 2017, the EC has approved Tafinlar in combination with Mekinist (trametinib) for the treatment of patients with BRAF V600-positive advanced or metastatic NSCLC.

In 2015, the US FDA has granted Breakthrough Therapy designation for the combination of dabrafenib and trametinib for the treatment of patients with advanced and metastatic BRAF V600E mutation-positive NSCLC who received at least one prior line of platinum-containing therapy

BRAF Mutated NSCLC Market Outlook
Current treatment choices for BRAF mutated NSCLC includes targeted therapies, platinum based chemotherapy and off-label therapies. However there is only one approved therapy present for the treatment of BRAF mutated i.e., Tafinlar (dabrafenib) plus Mekinist (trametinib).

On the other hand due to lack of approved therapies among all the predicted treatment choices, chemotherapies would remain an important aspect of NSCLC treatment, with platinum-based regimens being crucial. However, in future the use of platinum based chemotherapy is expected to decline because of development of therapies specifically targeting BRAF mutation.
As in the market, only one approved therapy is available, so off-label therapies such as vemurafenib and combinations and others are also used in the treatment of BRAF mutated NSCLC. Also Vemurafenib and Cobimetinib in combination are being investigated in phase II clinical trial for BRAF and other types of mutated NSCLC. So, the treatment paradigm of BRAF mutated NSCLC is developing and several efforts are ongoing for the development of treatment.

According to the expert insights, there is very limited data available about the specific efficacy of immunotherapy and chemoimmunotherapy for BRAF mutated patients. Based on that experts tend to favor targeted therapy for these patients. Several problems associated with this type of mutation for NSCLC one of them is resistance towards targeted therapy.
In BRAF mutated NSCLC after failure of dabrafenib-trametinib, there’s really not a second-line targeted-therapy approach that can be used for the treatment. Also the knowledge about mechanisms of resistance is very little. So, there is a desperate need of next-line targeted therapy. However, several researchers are working towards improvement of knowledge for this mutation to overcome the problem of resistance.

BRAF Mutated NSCLC Drugs Uptake

Due to the monopoly of Tafinlar/Mekinist combo in the market and better clinical profile, this combo is expected to take major share among all the therapies for BRAF mutated NSCLC. However, due to expected launch of emerging therapies the Tafinlar/Mekinist combo sales is expected to be affected during the study period (2017–2030).

Access and Reimbursement Scenario in BRAF Mutated NSCLC Therapies

  • The current scenario of therapeutics for NSCLC is mainly based on the use of targeted therapies and immunotherapy’s. Especially the current paradigm is mainly associated with treatment specific to mutations that occur in NSCLC.
  • Due to the high costs, some of the therapies are not able to show their cost-effectiveness and are unable to get a recommendation by assessment agencies. So, the access and reimbursement scenario of drugs for NSCLC is not easy as cost-effectiveness is a major barrier for therapies in NSCLC.
  • In February 2019, NICE unable to make a recommendation about the use in the NHS of dabrafenib with trametinib for treating advanced metastatic BRAF V600E mutation-positive NSCLC because no evidence submission was received from Novartis.
