TLDR
It is demonstrated that durable (≥3 years) survival is achievable with dabrafenib plus trametinib in patients with BRAF V600-mutant metastatic melanoma and support long-term first-line use of the combination in this setting.

Drugging the Undruggable: Advances on RAS Targeting in Cancer.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss historical efforts to target RAS directly and approaches to target effector signalling, including combinations that overcome limitations of single-agent targeting, and briefly discuss novel approaches to targeting non-G12C mutant isoforms.

Metastatic Melanoma: Recent Therapeutic Progress and Future Perspectives.

TL;DR: The main goal is to avoid or circumvent primary or secondary immune resistance to anti- PD-1 therapy not only by targeting other players in the tumor microenvironment but also by optimizing treatment sequencing and combining anti-PD-1 with other treatments, especially with BRAF and MEK inhibitors.

Current and emerging systemic therapies for cutaneous metastatic melanoma.

TL;DR: There is need for instructive biomarker assessment to identify patients likely to respond or be refractory to current therapies, to identify mechanisms of resistance and to direct further treatment options to patients based on individual disease biology.

Pooled Analysis of Long-Term Survival Data From Phase II and Phase III Trials of Ipilimumab in Unresectable or Metastatic Melanoma

TL;DR: A plateau in the survival curve was observed, beginning at approximately 3 years, which was independent of prior therapy or ipilimumab dose, and added to the evidence supporting the durability of long-term survival in ipILimumab-treated patients with advanced melanoma.
