Brief Summary

The presence of a BRAFV600E mutation is a marker of poor prognosis in patients with mCRC and associated with a median overall survival (mOS) of approximately 12 to 14 months compared to 20 to 25 months for patients with BRAF wild-type tumours. After 1st line therapy, treatment outcomes with standard therapy are poor in patients with BRAF-mutated mCRC, with response rates (ORR) of ≤ 11%, a median progression-free survival (mPFS) between 1.8 and 2.8 months, and a mOS between 4.1 and 6.2 months. Failure to achieve adequate survival outcomes with standard treatment regimens in patients with BRAF-mutated mCRC has encouraged efforts to combine multiple targeted therapies: With 665 randomized patients, the BEACON CRC trial represents the largest trial and is currently the only phase III study in patients with BRAFV600E-mutant mCRC. BERING CRC - designed as a prospective (allowing initial retrospective documentation), longitudinal, non-interventional study - will investigate the real-world effectiveness, quality of life, safety and tolerability of encorafenib and cetuximab in BRAFV600E-mutant mCRC patients, who have received prior systemic therapy. Data from this study will contribute to a deeper understanding and characterization to the everyday use of encorafenib and cetuximab in a broader patient population in the German, Austrian, and Swiss routine setting.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Written informed consent of the patient with regard to the pseudonymized documentation of his/her data in the frame of this non-interventional study * Legally capable patient ≥ 18 years of age (no upper limit) * Metastatic colorectal carcinoma with BRAFV600E-mutation, pretreated with systemic therapy * Decision was taken to treat the patient with the doublet therapy (encorafenib and cetuximab) in accordance with the current SmPC and by prescription; this decision was taken prior to and independent from the inclusion into the study; * Treatment with the doublet therapy (encorafenib plus cetuximab) has been started ≤ 3 months prior to providing written informed consent for this study or is planned to be started in the near future. Exclusion Criteria: * More than 2 prior systemic regimens in the metastatic setting (adjuvant systemic therapy with relapse ≤ 6 months will be counted as metastatic treatment line; maintenance treatment will not be counted as separate metastatic treatment line) * Prior treatment with any RAF-inhibitor or MEK-inhibitor. * Presence of any contraindication with regard to the doublet therapy (encorafenib plus cetuximab) as specified in the corresponding SmPCs * Current or upcoming participation in an interventional clinical trial * Current or upcoming systemic treatment of any other tumor than metastatic colorectal carcinoma * Prisoners or persons who are compulsorily detained (involuntarily incarcerated).
