Clinical features of acute kidney injury in patients receiving dabrafenib and trametinib

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed a retrospective cohort study examining the kidney outcomes of patients in a large healthcare system who received dabrafenib/trametinib between 2010 and 2019, defined as a 1.5fold increase in serum creatinine from baseline within a 12-month study period.

Severe pyrexia from nivolumab‐resistant advanced melanoma after successful combined therapy with encorafenib plus binimetinib

TL;DR: Three cases of severe pyrexia in nivolumab‐resistant advanced melanoma after successful combined therapy with encorafenib plus binimetinib are described, suggesting that pyrexIA caused by BRAF/MEK inhibitors may possess a similar pathophysiology as that of AOSD.

BRAF inhibitor treatment is feasible in the oldest-old advanced melanoma patients.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provided results of BRAF (BRAFi) ± MEK (MEKi) inhibitor treatment in patients over 75 years (oldest-old patients) with metastatic melanoma.

Targeting BRAF-mutant non-small cell lung cancer: Current status and future directions.

TL;DR: In this article , a review of the therapeutic strategies in NSCLC with BRAF mutations is presented, where a paradigm shift from the double BRAF/MEK inhibition to combinations with agents with distinct mechanisms of action, such as immune-checkpoint inhibitors, pan-RAF and selective ERK 1/2 inhibitors, is under investigation and may change the therapeutic landscape of BRAF-driven non-small cell lung cancer.

Loss of skeletal muscle area and fat-free mass during dabrafenib/trametinib and vemurafenib/cobimetinib treatments in patients with BRAF-mutant metastatic malignant melanoma.

TL;DR: A significant decrease in SMA was observed after dabrafenib/trametinib and vemurafenIB/cobimetinib treatments, and a significant decreases in SMI values determined at 4–6 months compared to the values before treatment both in dabrafanib/Tramet inib andVemurafinib/ cobimet inib groups.

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.
