Application Number:	16/208,172
Patent Claims:	1. A method of treating colorectal cancer having a BRAF V600E mutation, comprising administering to a patient in need thereof a combination therapy comprising therapeutically effective amounts, independently, of: (a) methyl N-[(2S)-1-({4-[3-(5-chloro-2-fluoro-3-methanesulfonamidophenyl)-1-(propan- -2-yl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]pyrimidin-2-yl}amino)propan-2-yl]carbamate (COMPOUND A) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, (b) 6-(4-bromo-2-fluorophenylamino)-7-fluoro-3-methyl-3H-benzoimidazole-5-car- boxylic acid (2-hydroxyethoxy)-amide (COMPOUND B) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and (c) cetuximab (COMPOUND C). 2. The method of claim 1, wherein COMPOUND A is amorphous methyl N-[(2S)-1-({4-[3-(5-chloro-2-fluoro-3-methanesulfonamidophenyl)-1-(propan- -2-yl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]pyrimidin-2-yl}amino)propan-2-yl]carbamate or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. 3. The method according to claim 1, wherein said COMPOUND B is crystallized 6-(4-bromo-2-fluorophenylamino)-7-fluoro-3-methyl-3H-benzoimidazole-5-car- boxylic acid (2-hydroxyethoxy)-amide. 4. The method according to claim 3, wherein said crystallized 6-(4-bromo-2-fluorophenylamino)-7-fluoro-3-methyl-3H-benzoimidazole-5-car- boxylic acid (2-hydroxyethoxy)-amide is characterized by having XRPD diffraction peaks (2.theta. degrees) at 20.38, 28.39, and 11.18, 29.18, 22.43, 22.75, 25.23, 16.05, 11.82, 23.74, 16.33, and 19.00. 5. The method according to claim 3, wherein said crystallized 6-(4-bromo-2-fluorophenylamino)-7-fluoro-3-methyl-3H-benzoimidazole-5-car- boxylic acid (2-hydroxyethoxy)-amide is characterized by having the XRPD diffraction peaks (20 degrees) listed in Table A. 6. The method according to claim 3, wherein said crystallized 6-(4-bromo-2-fluorophenylamino)-7-fluoro-3-methyl-3H-benzoimidazole-5-car- boxylic acid (2-hydroxyethoxy)-amide has an XRPD pattern as shown in FIG. 8. 7. The method according to claim 1, wherein the colorectal cancer is metastatic colorectal cancer. 8. The method according to claim 1, wherein the cancer further expresses wild-type KRAS (KRAS.sup.wt). 9. The method according to claim 1, wherein the therapeutically effective amount of COMPOUND A is orally administered once daily. 10. The method according to claim 9 wherein the therapeutically effective amount of compound A is 300 mg, which is orally administered once daily. 11. The method according to claim 1, wherein the therapeutically effective amount of COMPOUND B is orally administered twice daily as first and second therapeutically effective doses, wherein the first therapeutically effective dose of COMPOUND B is taken together with the therapeutically effective amount of COMPOUND A. 12. The method according to claim 11, wherein said first and second therapeutically effective dose of COMPOUND B each comprises 45 mg of COMPOUND B. 13. The method according to claim 11, wherein said first therapeutically effective dose of COMPOUND B is administered within 30 minutes of administration of the therapeutically effective amount of COMPOUND A. 14. The method according to claim 1, wherein the therapeutically effective amount of COMPOUND C is administered as an intravenous infusion in the amount of 400 mg/m.sup.2 of over 120-minute as an initial dose, followed by weekly intravenous infusions in the amount of 250 mg/m.sup.2 over 60 minutes. 15. The method according to claim 11, wherein the therapeutically effective amount of COMPOUND C is administered at least 30 to 90 minutes after administration of the therapeutically effective amount of COMPOUND A and the first therapeutically effective dose of COMPOUND B. 16. The method according to claim 1, wherein the method optionally further comprises administering one or more pre-medications to said subject prior to treatment with COMPOUND C. 17. The method according to claim 16, wherein said pre-medication is administered 30-60 minutes prior to administration of COMPOUND C. 18. The method of claim 17, wherein said one or more pre-medications is selected from one or more of a H.sup.1 antagonist and a systemic corticosteroid. 19. The method according to claim 1, wherein said subject was treated with at least one systemic anticancer therapy agent for a period of time prior to treatment with said combination therapy. 20. The method according to claim 19, wherein the systemic anticancer therapy includes treatment with one or more cytotoxic agents. 21. The method according to claim 20, wherein said one or more cytotoxic agents are selected from irinotecan, oxaliplatin, capecitabine, folinic acid and 5-fluorouracil. 22. The method according to claim 1, wherein the method further comprises assessing treatment with said combination therapy by determining one or more of inhibition of disease progression, inhibition of tumor growth, reduction of primary tumor, relief of tumor-related symptoms, inhibition of tumor secreted factors, delayed appearance of primary or secondary tumors, slowed development of primary or secondary tumors, decreased occurrence of primary or secondary tumors, slowed or decreased severity of secondary effects of disease, arrested tumor growth and regression of tumors, increased Time To Progression (TTP), increased Progression Free Survival (PFS), increased Overall Survival (OS) or increased Duration of Response (DOR). 23. The method according to claim 1, wherein said subject was treated with surgery for a period of time prior to treatment with said combination therapy.
