Résumé

Purpose: Mitogen-activating protein kinase inhibitors (MAPKis) are largely used in V600E/K BRAF–mutated metastatic melanomas, but data regarding effectiveness of targeted therapy in patients with rare BRAF mutations and molecular description of these infrequent mutations are scarce. Patients and methods: A multicenter study was conducted on patients with metastatic melanoma harboring a well-identified mutation of BRAF and enrolled from March 2013 to June 2021 in the French nationwide prospective cohort MelBase. The molecular BRAF mutation pattern, response to MAPKis when applicable, and survival data were analyzed. Results: Of 856 selected patients, 51 (6%) harbored a non-V600E/K BRAF mutation involving codons V600 (24 of 51, 47%; V600G 27.4%, V600R 15.6%), K601 (6 of 51, 11.7%), and L597 (4 of 51, 7.8%). An objective response to MAPKis either BRAF inhibitor (BRAFi) alone or combined with MEK inhibitor was achieved in 56% (353 of 631) of V600E/K, 58% (11 of 19) of non-E/K V600, and 22% (2 of 9) of non-V600 BRAF-mutated patients, with a median progression-free survival of 7.7, 7.8, and 2.8 months, respectively. Overall, objective response rate was higher with BRAFi + MEK inhibitor combination than with BRAFi in monotherapy for each subset. Conclusion: Rare BRAF mutations are not anecdotal in the metastatic melanoma population. Although data interpretation must remain careful owing to the limited size of some subsets of patients, non-E/K V600 BRAF mutations seem to confer a high sensitivity to targeted therapy, whereas MAPKis seem less effective in patients with non-V600 BRAF mutations. However, this strategy may be used as an alternative option in the case of immunotherapy failure in the latter population.
