Study Summary

This is a Phase II, open label, single-arm trial study of adding hydroxychloroquine to encorafenib and cetuximab in patients with metastatic BRAF V600E colon cancer with progression on at least 1 prior line of therapy. We hypothesize that autophagy is a major mechanism of resistance to BRAF inhibition in stage IV BRAF V600E colorectal cancer, and that the addition of hydroxychloroquine to standard encorafenib and cetuximab therapy will help overcome this resistance.

Primary Outcome

To determine the ORR by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v 1.1 criteria for the combination of encorafenib, cetuximab or panitumumab, and hydroxychloroquine. This will be assessed based on RECIST1.1 criteria by cross-sectional imaging done every 2 cycles.
