Background

MAP2K1 mutations, otherwise known as MEK mutations, are rare oncogenic alterations that have been implicated in MAPK pathway activation. The impact of MAP2K1 mutations in colorectal cancer on EGFR antibody response has not been characterized.

Patients and methods

Antitumor activity was assessed in mouse xenograft models with SW48 cell lines harboring MAP2K1 mutation, and protein expression of the RAS signaling pathway was studied by Western blot analysis. We retrospectively identified patients with MAP2K1-mutated metastatic colorectal cancer patients treated at City of Hope Comprehensive Cancer Center between 2015 and 2020 using next-generation sequencing. Patients' tumor characteristics, treatment response, and outcome are described. Additional patients with the MAP2K1 mutation were identified from The Cancer Genome Atlas and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center oncogenomic databases.

Results

Antitumor activity in mouse xenograft models demonstrated efficacy with combination therapy with EGFR and MEK inhibition with either BRAF or ERK inhibitors. Five patients treated at City of Hope between 2015 and 2020 harbored a MAP2K1 mutation at a frequency of 1%. APC and TP53 were common coalterations. All disease was RAS and BRAF wild type, except 1 case that harbored a concurrent KRAS mutation. Four RAS/BRAF wild-type MAP2K1-mutated patients was treated with anti-EGFR, anti-EGFR + MEK and BRAF inhibitors, and anti-EGFR + ERK inhibitors. All 4 patients experienced disease progression.

Conclusion

MAP2K1 mutation in colorectal cancer is associated with poor response to EGFR inhibition. EGFR inhibition with or without MEK, BRAF, or ERK inhibitors did not result in any clinical benefit in our limited experience."xsd:string
