Concerns related to adverse effects:
• Cardiotoxicity: Cardiomyopathy (manifesting as left ventricular dysfunction associated with symptomatic or asymptomatic ejection fraction decreases) has been reported in patients who received the combination of encorafenib and binimetinib. A decrease in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) below the institutional LLN with an absolute decrease in LVEF ≥10% below baseline (detected by echocardiography or multigated acquisition [MUGA] scan) has occurred. Grade 3 left ventricular dysfunction has been reported. The median time to first occurrence of any grade left ventricular dysfunction was 3.6 months (range: up to 21 months). Cardiomyopathy resolved in a majority of patients. Safety has not been established in patients with a baseline ejection fraction that is either <50% or below the institutional LLN. Encorafenib is associated with dose-dependent QTc interval prolongation. In a clinical trial, QTcF prolongation to >500 msec was reported in a small percentage of patients when used in combination with binimetinib. Patients at risk for developing QTc prolongation include those with known long QT syndromes, clinically significant bradyarrhythmias, severe or uncontrolled heart failure, or concomitant use of medications associated with QT prolongation.
• Dermatologic toxicity: Grade 3 or 4 dermatologic toxicity occurred in ~20% of patients receiving encorafenib as a single agent, compared to 2% of patients receiving the combination of encorafenib and binimetinib.
• Hemorrhage: Hemorrhage may occur with the combination of binimetinib and encorafenib, including ≥ grade 3 hemorrhage. The most frequent hemorrhagic events were gastrointestinal in nature, including rectal/anal hemorrhage, hematochezia, hemorrhoidal hemorrhage, and hemothorax. Fatal intracranial hemorrhage (may occur in the setting of new or progressive brain metastases) was also reported.
• Hepatotoxicity: Hepatotoxicity may occur with the combination of encorafenib and binimetinib; grade 3 or 4 elevations in ALT, AST, and/or alkaline phosphatase have been reported, although grade 3 or 4 total bilirubin elevations were not reported.
• Malignancy: New primary malignancies (cutaneous and noncutaneous) have been observed in patients treated with BRAF inhibitors and may occur with encorafenib. Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cuSCC), including keratoacanthoma (KA), as well as basal cell carcinoma, new primary melanoma, and skin papilloma occurred in patients receiving encorafenib in combination with other agents; the median time to first onset of cuSCC/KA in patients with melanoma was ~6 months (range: 1 to 9 months). Cases of cuSCC/KA, basal cell carcinoma, and new primary melanoma were also observed in patients receiving encorafenib monotherapy. Due to its mechanism of action (activation of RAS through mutation or other mechanisms), other noncutaneous malignancies may develop with encorafenib use.
• Ocular toxicity: Uveitis, including iritis and iridocyclitis, has been observed with the combination of encorafenib and binimetinib.
Concurrent drug therapy issues:
• Combination therapy: Additional toxicities may occur when used in combination with binimetinib or cetuximab.
Other warnings/precautions:
• Appropriate use: Exposing BRAF wild-type cells to BRAF inhibitors such as encorafenib may result in paradoxical activation of MAP-kinase signaling and increased cell proliferation. Prior to initiating therapy, confirm BRAF V600E or BRAF V600K mutation status with an approved test from tumor specimens in colorectal cancer and melanoma, and from tumor or plasma specimens in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC); if no mutation detected in plasma specimens, then test tumor tissue (NSCLC only). Information on approved tests for detection of BRAF V600 mutations is available at http://www.fda.gov/companiondiagnostics.

It is not known if encorafenib is present in breast milk.
Due to the potential for serious adverse reactions in the breastfed infant, breastfeeding is not recommended by the manufacturer during treatment and for 2 weeks after the last encorafenib dose.
BRAF mutation status: BRAF V600K or V600E mutation status in tumor specimens prior to treatment in melanoma. BRAF V600E mutation status in tumor specimens prior to treatment in colorectal cancer. BRAF V600E mutation status in tumor or plasma specimens prior to treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC); if no mutation detected in plasma specimens, then test tumor tissue.
Monitor LFTs prior to treatment initiation, monthly during treatment, and as clinically indicated; monitor electrolytes. Verify pregnancy status prior to treatment initiation in patients who could become pregnant. Assess ejection fraction (by echocardiogram or multigated acquisition [MUGA] scan) prior to treatment initiation, one month after initiation, and then every 2 to 3 months during treatment; monitor closely in patients with cardiovascular risk factors. Monitor for QT prolongation in patients with or at risk for developing QTc prolongation (eg, patients with known long QT syndromes, clinically significant bradyarrhythmias, severe or uncontrolled heart failure, or concomitant QT prolonging medications). Conduct dermatologic evaluations prior to treatment initiation, every 2 months during therapy, and for up to 6 months following discontinuation to assess for new cutaneous malignancies. Evaluate visual symptoms at each visit; perform an ophthalmologic examination at regular intervals and for new or worsening visual disturbances (and to follow new or persistent ophthalmologic findings).

The American Society of Clinical Oncology hepatitis B virus (HBV) screening and management provisional clinical opinion (ASCO [Hwang 2020]) recommends HBV screening with hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis B core antibody, total Ig or IgG, and antibody to hepatitis B surface antigen prior to beginning (or at the beginning of) systemic anticancer therapy; do not delay treatment for screening/results. Detection of chronic or past HBV infection requires a risk assessment to determine antiviral prophylaxis requirements, monitoring, and follow-up.
Cardiovascular monitoring specifics: Comprehensive assessment prior to treatment including a history and physical examination, screening for cardiovascular disease risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, obesity, and smoking (ASCO [Armenian 2017]). Assess BP at baseline and each clinical visit (as well as outpatient monitoring weekly for initial 3 months, then monthly thereafter), obtain a baseline echocardiography in high- and very-high risk patients scheduled to receive BRAF-MEK inhibitor combination therapy (consider repeating every 4 months during the first year); consider echocardiography in low- and moderate-risk patients scheduled to receive BRAF-MEK inhibitor combination therapy (ESC [Lyon 2022]).
Encorafenib is an ATP-competitive inhibitor of protein kinase B-raf (BRAF) which suppresses the MAPK pathway (Dummer 2018). Encorafenib targets BRAF V600E, V600 D, and V600 K, and has a longer dissociation half-life than other BRAF inhibitors, allowing for sustained inhibition (Dummer 2018). BRAF V600 mutations result in constitutive activation of the BRAF pathway (which may stimulate tumor growth); BRAF inhibition inhibits tumor cell growth. The combination of encorafenib and binimetinib allows for greater antitumor activity in BRAF V600 mutant cell lines; in animal studies, the combination also delayed the emergence of resistance in BRAF V600E mutant cells compared to either drug alone. In BRAF-mutant colorectal cancer, EGFR-mediated MAPK pathway activation is a resistance mechanism to BRAF inhibitors; the combination of a BRAF inhibitor and anti-EGFR agents has been shown to overcome this resistance mechanism (in nonclinical models). The combination of encorafenib and cetuximab had an anti-tumor effect greater than either agent alone (in an animal model). In animal models, the combination of encorafenib and binimetinib had an anti-tumor effect greater than binimetinib alone. In BRAF mutant non-small cell lung cancer animal models, after dosing cessation, increased tumor growth delays were also observed with the encorafenib/binimetinib combination (compared to either drug alone).
