Chris Boshoff: BREAKWATER Study Halves Risk of Death in BRAF V600E-Mutated Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Chris Boshoff, Chief Scientific Officer and President of Research and Development at Pfizer, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“Today at ASCO25 and simultaneously published in NEJM Group, Pfizer shared pivotal overall survival and progression-free survival data for a targeted treatment regimen in patients with metastatic Colorectal Cancer (mCRC) with a BRAF V600E mutation.
For about 1 in 5 people diagnosed with CRC, the disease has already metastasized by the time it’s detected – making treatment more complex.
The BREAKWATER study met its primary endpoint of progression-free survival, as well as a key secondary endpoint of overall survival, showing that the regimen halved the risk of death for people with mCRC with a BRAF V600E mutation. These exciting results support its potential to be a new standard-of-care and a meaningful advance for these patients.”
