Dabrafenib plus trametinib in BRAFV600E-mutated rare cancers: the phase 2 ROAR trial

TL;DR: In this paper , the final efficacy and safety results of a phase 2 basket trial of dabrafenib (BRAF kinase inhibitor) plus trametinib (MEK inhibitor) in eight cohorts of patients with BRAFV600E-mutated advanced rare cancers were presented.

The risk of dermatological toxicities of combined BRAF and MEK inhibition versus BRAF inhibition alone in melanoma patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that combined BRAF and MEK inhibitor-based treatment is associated with an increased risk of all-grade rash and a decreased risk ofall-grade and high-grade HK, SP, alopecia, cSCC, HFS, and PR compared with single BRAF inhibitor alone in melanoma patients.

A multiple testing procedure for clinical trials.

TL;DR: The overall size of the procedure is shown to be controlled with virtually the same accuracy as the single sample chi-square test based on N(m1 + m2) observations and the power is found to bevirtually the same.
