| BIO-MAP2K1 | MAP2K1 activating mutation (K57E, Q56P, E203K) — hairy cell leukemia variant (HCL-V); by definition BRAF V600E-negative | IIA |
| Hairy cell leukemia variant (HCL-V) is a rare splenic B-cell lymphoma (~10% of HCL cases) that is BRAF V600E-negative (in contrast to classic HCL where BRAF V600E is present in ~100%). MAP2K1 (MEK1) activating mutations are detected in ~40–50% of HCL-V cases and represent an alternative MAPK pathway activation mechanism. Unlike classic HCL (where vemurafenib or cladribine + rituximab are standard), HCL-V responds poorly to BRAF inhibitors and less well to purine analogues. Small series and case reports document activity of MEK inhibitors (cobimetinib, trametinib) in MAP2K1-mutant HCL-V: ORRs of 50–80% in heavily pretreated patients. No phase III RCT; no FDA approval. NCCN lists MEK inhibitors as Category 2B for HCL-V with MAP2K1 mutation. Pentostatin + rituximab remains standard first-line for HCL-V. MAP2K1 testing recommended in all HCL-V to guide salvage therapy. | cobimetinib 60 mg PO QD (days 1–21 of 28-day cycle) — investigational for MAP2K1-mutant HCL-V; evidence from small series only trametinib 2 mg PO QD — alternative MEK inhibitor; same investigational status pentostatin 4 mg/m² IV q2w + rituximab 375 mg/m² IV — standard first-line HCL-V (not biomarker-driven) |
