Decreased survival in patients treated by chemotherapy after targeted therapy compared to immunotherapy in metastatic melanoma.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated if a previous treatment by ICI or MAPKi influences clinical outcomes in patients treated by CC in metastatic melanoma, and found that patients treated with CC after ICI tended to have a better median progression-free survival (PFS) compared with those previously treated by MAPKI.
Journal ArticleDOI

Monitoring of plasma concentrations of dabrafenib and trametinib in advanced BRAFV600mut melanoma patients.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the relationship between Dabrafenib (D) and trametinib (T) in patients with BRAFV600mut melanoma.

Monitoring of plasma concentrations of dabrafenib and trametinib in advanced BRAFV600 melanoma patients

TL;DR: In this article , high plasma concentration of D (PCD) is weakly associated with adverse events (AE), but no significant relationship was found between PCD and most common AEs (fever, lymphopenia, CPK increase, and hepatic cytolysis), body mass index, or age.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tolerance and Effectiveness of Targeted Therapies in Aged Patients with Metastatic Melanoma.

TL;DR: This study is the first to assess that TT is well tolerated in elderly BRAF-mutated patients such as in patients younger than 65, and shows that tolerance of targeted therapy is as good in older patients as in younger with a similar efficacy.

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.
