MSI-H (microsatellite instability-high) CRC is the primary biomarker for first-line pembrolizumab monotherapy (KEYNOTE-177; mPFS 16.5 vs 8.2 mo, HR 0.60; FDA-approved 2020 for 1L mCRC MSI-H). Pembrolizumab is also FDA-approved tumor-agnostically for MSI-H/dMMR solid tumors (KEYNOTE-158, 2017). MSS/pMMR CRC does not benefit from ICI monotherapy. MSI-H (~5% of metastatic CRC) is typically detected by PCR-based fragment analysis or NGS; result correlates closely with IHC-based dMMR testing (MLH1/MSH2/MSH6/PMS2 loss). Threshold selection (MSI-H positive/negative) enforced by algorithm layer; this BMA entry surfaces ESCAT tier context only.

Red flags — PRO / CONTRA aggressive

PRO-AGGRESSIVE

Triggers that push toward the aggressive track
  • BRAF V600E mutation in mCRC: ~8-10% prevalence, poor prognosis (median OS halved vs BRAF-WT on standard chemo). Cetuximab/panitumumab ineffective. Encorafenib + cetuximab (BEACON CRC) is preferred 2L+; some 1L data favor FOLFOXIRI + bev intensification in MSS BRAF-mutant. RF-CRC-BRAF-V600E-POOR-PROGNOSIS
  • MSI-high / dMMR mCRC — treatment-defining biomarker. KEYNOTE-177 established pembrolizumab 1L over FOLFOX+bev (PFS 16.5 vs 8.2 mo). This RF intensifies toward the immunotherapy track and overrides the default RAS/BRAF-driven chemo algorithm. RF-CRC-MSI-H-ACTIONABILITY

CONTRA-AGGRESSIVE

Hard contraindications to escalation
  • Pembrolizumab (and other PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors) augment T-cell responses; in patients with active autoimmunity or post-transplant immunosuppression, this can precipitate severe organ-specific flares (colitis, hepatitis, pneumonitis, transplant rejection) that may be fatal or require transplant loss. CI-PEMBROLIZUMAB-AUTOIMMUNE

What NOT to do

Explicit prohibitive rules, each grounded in a regimen / supportive care / contraindication entity
Aggressive plan (IND-CRC-METASTATIC-2L-MSI-H-PEMBRO)
  • Do NOT prescribe without verified MSI-H/dMMR status — false-positive MSI may cause hyperprogression.
  • Do NOT continue pembrolizumab through Grade 3+ irAE without specialist consultation + steroid taper.
  • Do NOT combine with chronic high-dose corticosteroids — pharmacodynamic blunting of ICI.
  • Do NOT prescribe in active autoimmune disease without rheumatology / endocrinology MDT.
  • Do NOT discontinue therapy at tumor pseudoprogression (early flare-up imaging) without biopsy / iRECIST evaluation.
  • Do NOT confirm the plan without funding pathway — pembrolizumab not NSZU-reimbursed for CRC.
Aggressive plan (IND-CRC-METASTATIC-2L-BRAF-BEACON)
  • Do NOT use anti-EGFR (cetuximab/panitumumab) MONOTHERAPY in BRAF V600E — minimal benefit (BEACON control arm performance)
  • Do NOT skip skin dermatology surveillance (BRAFi class effect — new SCC + melanoma risk)
  • Do NOT continue through QTcF >500 ms without dose hold + ECG
