Durable Response of Dabrafenib, Trametinib, and Capmatinib in an NSCLC Patient With Co-Existing BRAF-KIAA1549 Fusion and MET Amplification: A Case Report.

ABSTRACT: BRAF fusions are rare driver oncogenes in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Similar with BRAF V600E mutation, it could also activate the MAPK signaling pathway. There are a few case reports which had indicated the potential response to BRAF inhibitors and its important role as de novo driver mutation. In addition, the co-occurring MET amplification has been defined as a poor prognostic factor in patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutant NSCLC. Currently, there are ongoing clinical trials which investigate the MET amplification as a therapeutic target in patients with EGFR mutant NSCLC and acquired resistance to osimertinib, which imply that the MET amplification also had a therapeutic significance. However, the co
