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.

Targeted agents or immuno-oncology therapies as first-line therapy for BRAF-mutated metastatic melanoma: a real-world study.

TL;DR: Despite higher risk patients, 1L TT resulted in higher response rate and longer treatment duration suggesting a preferred 1L sequence, compared to 1L IO, which had no survival difference.
Journal ArticleDOI

The safety and efficacy of dabrafenib and trametinib for the treatment of melanoma.

TL;DR: There is a substantial need to prevent and treat also mild adverse events, as they play a central role for the quality of life of patients, due to an increased life expectancy.

Paclitaxel-Loaded Nanosponges Inhibit Growth and Angiogenesis in Melanoma Cell Models.

TL;DR: The data demonstrated that the new PTX nanoformulation can respond to some important issues related to PTX treatment, lowering the anti-tumor effective doses and increasing the effectiveness in inhibiting melanoma growth in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Considering adjuvant therapy for stage II melanoma.

TL;DR: It has now been confirmed that these classes of agents have a benefit for patients with stage III melanoma after surgical resection, and anti‐PD1 and BRAF/MEK inhibitors are standards of care in this setting.

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.
