TLDR The combination treatment showed a higher response rate but no significant survival benefits.
The BAYONET trial is a phase II study involving 30 patients with BRAF V600E-mutant metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) who are refractory to encorafenib plus cetuximab (ENCO plus CET). It evaluates the efficacy and safety of a combination treatment with encorafenib, binimetinib, and cetuximab (ENCO, BINI, plus CET). The primary endpoint is the 12-week progression-free survival (PFS) rate. Although the triplet combination showed a higher response rate compared to the doublet, no significant survival benefits were observed. The study also investigates resistance mechanisms through circulating tumor DNA analysis and adheres to ethical guidelines.
