Abstract
Introduction
Glioblastoma is one of the most aggressive primary brain tumors with the worst prognosis. Few therapeutic options are currently available. Vemurafenib is a kinase inhibitor that demonstrated efficacy in clinical trials for the treatment of tumors with BRAF V600 mutation. Its experience of use in glioblastomas is very limited.
We present the case of a patient diagnosed with BRAF V600 mutated glioblastoma who progressed to standard therapy. After starting treatment with vemurafenib in June 2022, the patient currently maintains a good clinical situation and the disease remains stable, with no progression observed.
Discussion
There is little literature supporting the efficacy of vemurafenib in BRAF 600 mutated glioblastomas. Published data suggest promising results, although survival in these patients remains low. This patient's progression-free survival is one of the longest documented to date.
