128 Background:The BRAF V600E mutation is a marker of poor prognosis in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Targeted therapy, such as encorafenib plus cetuximab, is approved in the US/Europe for the treatment (tx) of BRAF V600E-mutated mCRC and demonstrated improved survival vs historical standard of care (SOC). Determining BRAF mutation status in mCRC is recommended by NCCN and ESMO guidelines although adherence to guidelines may not be uniform. This report’s objective is to communicate global survey results of mCRC BRAF testing practices. Identifying regions where BRAF testing is not SOC may help identify where education efforts are needed improve effective tx decision making. Methods: Oncology tx centers were identified from a registry and public information. Centers were selected for research experience, historic data quality, and estimated mCRC patients. A BRAF testing practices survey using an online platform of verified centers was conducted March-August 2020; 395 centers/38 countries have responded thus far. Results: Respondents indicated BRAF-mutation testing is performed as SOC for patients with mCRC in most regions; Eastern Europe and South America are exceptions: only 47% (45/95) and 45% (9/20) of centers, respectively routinely performed mutation testing. Most test tumor tissue, few test both tumor tissue or blood, and none conduct blood mutation testing only. Most regions perform BRAF testing at initial diagnosis or confirmation of advanced disease. Individual country statistics will be presented. Conclusions: BRAF testing has global variability, impacting tx decisions. Increased awareness and routine testing may lead to informed decisions regarding targeted therapies, such as encorafenib plus cetuximab where approved, in patients with BRAF V600E-mutant mCRC.
