Pfizer (PFE) announced positive Phase 3 BREAKWATER trial results for BRAFTOVI® combination therapy in treating BRAF V600E-mutant metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). The trial showed a significantly higher objective response rate of 60.9% compared to 40% with standard chemotherapy.
Key findings include a median duration of response of 13.9 months for the BRAFTOVI combination versus 11.1 months for chemotherapy. Additionally, 22.4% of BRAFTOVI-treated patients maintained response for 12+ months, compared to 11.4% in the chemotherapy group.
While overall survival data is not yet mature, early trends favor the BRAFTOVI combination. The safety profile aligned with known profiles of individual components, with serious treatment-emergent adverse events occurring in 37.7% of BRAFTOVI combination patients versus 34.6% in the chemotherapy group.

The treatment could potentially be the first PD-1 inhibitor approved in combination with BCG for this indication, representing the first major advancement in BCG-naïve, high-risk NMIBC treatment in over 30 years.
