Dedifferentiated melanomas: Morpho-phenotypic profile, genetic reprogramming and clinical implications.

TL;DR: The histopathological features, the genetic and epigenetic bases underlying the dedifferentiated phenotype in melanomas are summarized and additional support is provided that dedifferentiation is a mechanism of resistance to immunotherapy and targeted therapy.

Evaluating cost benefits of combination therapies for advanced melanoma

TL;DR: A cost-benefit model was developed to evaluate the value of treating BRAF+ advanced melanoma with two combination therapies and suggested D+T therapy is associated with less patient time and lower costs relative to N+I to gain similar PFS and overall response rate (ORR) benefits.

Novel Targeted Therapies for Metastatic Melanoma.

TL;DR: There is much hope for the future of targeted agents for distinct molecular cohorts of patients with advanced melanoma, including novel targets such as IMCgp100 and glembatumumab, which have shown activity in early studies.

Melanoma: the intersection of molecular targeted therapy and immune checkpoint inhibition.

TL;DR: Evidence is emerging of the immunomodulatory effects from BRAF inhibition and combinations of PD-1 inhibitors with novel immune checkpoints or with molecularly targeted therapies may improve on the considerable progress made in melanoma.

Prolonged Complete Response With Combined Dabrafenib and Trametinib After BRAF Inhibitor Failure in BRAF-Mutant Glioblastoma

TL;DR: In this paper, a case of a recurrent BRAF-mutant GBM, who had a clinical and radiographic response when treated with BRAFi dabrafenib in combination with MEK inhibitor trametinib (D+T), after failing treatment with BRA Fi monotherapy, was presented.

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.
