Pfizer Inc. has announced positive results from Cohort 3 of the pivotal BREAKWATER trial, evaluating BRAFTOVI® (encorafenib) in combination with cetuximab and FOLFIRI in patients with previously untreated metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) harboring a BRAF V600E mutation. The study demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in objective response rate $(ORR)$ with the BRAFTOVI combination regimen compared to standard-of-care treatment FOLFIRI with or without bevacizumab (64.4% vs 39.2%, odds ratio = 2.76, p=0.001). These results were presented at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology Gastrointestinal (ASCO GI®) Cancers Symposium and highlighted in the ASCO GI official press program. The findings support the potential for an additional chemotherapy backbone option for patients with BRAF V600E-mutant mCRC.
