Dabrafenib and trametinib versus dabrafenib and placebo for Val600 BRAF-mutant melanoma: a multicentre, double-blind, phase 3 randomised controlled trial

TLDR

Tolerance and efficacy of BRAF plus MEK inhibition in patients with melanoma who previously have received programmed cell death protein 1-based therapy.

TL;DR: Combined BRAF and MEK inhibition (BRAF‐MEK) is a standard therapy for patients with BRAF V600–mutant melanoma, but the tolerance, adverse event (AE) profile, and efficacy have not been well defined in the post–programmed cell death protein 1 (PD‐1) setting.

MAPK Pathway Inhibitors Sensitize BRAF-Mutant Melanoma to an Antibody-Drug Conjugate Targeting GPNMB.

TL;DR: Combining BRAF and/or MEK inhibitors with CDX-011, an antibody-drug conjugate targeting GPNMB, is effective in causing melanoma regression in preclinical animal models and delays the recurrent melanoma growth observed with MEK or BRAF/MEK inhibitor treatment alone.

A Comprehensive Review of Clinical Cardiotoxicity Incidence of FDA-Approved Small-Molecule Kinase Inhibitors.

TL;DR: To avoid the clinical potential cardiotoxicity risk and discontinuation of a highly effective drug, patients treated with SMKIs should be proactively monitored on the basis of a global standard and the underlying mechanisms of SMKI-induced cardiot toxicity need to be further studied.
Journal ArticleDOI

BET and BRAF inhibitors act synergistically against BRAF-mutant melanoma.

TL;DR: Combined BET and BRAF inhibition as a novel strategy for the treatment of melanoma suppressed tumor growth and significantly improved survival compared to either drug alone in in vitro and in vivo models of BRAF‐mutant melanoma.

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.
