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.

Prognostic value of total metabolic tumour volume and therapy-response assessment by [18F]FDG PET/CT in patients with metastatic melanoma treated with BRAF/MEK inhibitors.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated if baseline total metabolic tumour volume (TMTV) and therapy-response assessment by [18F]FDG PET/CT have a prognostic role on progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with metastatic melanoma receiving BRAF ± MEK inhibitors.

The Landmark Series: Neoadjuvant Systemic Therapy (NAST) for Stage 3 Melanoma Patients - A Potential Paradigm Shift in Management.

TL;DR: Patients who achieve pCR have improved prognosis, but pCR is not as reliable a predictor of improved outcome as pCR or near-pCR after neoadjuvant ICB, and ongoing studies should ideally be coordinated through the International Neoadjuant Melanoma Consortium to ensure maximal efficiency at improving outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cardiovascular safety of rapidly accelerated fibrosarcoma B-type and/or mitogen-activated extracellular signal-regulated kinase inhibitors: A mixed approach combining a meta-analysis and a pharmacovigilance disproportionality analysis.

TL;DR: BRAF and MEK inhibitors increase the risk of ejection fraction decrease, peripheral oedema and syncope in randomized placebo-controlled clinical trials and real-life data suggested additional risks of torsade de pointes/QT prolongation and supraventricular arrhythmias with BRAF/MEK inhibitors.

Healthcare resource utilization in patients with metastatic melanoma receiving first-line therapy with dabrafenib + trametinib versus nivolumab or pembrolizumab monotherapy

TL;DR: HRU during 1 L therapy was generally similar between patients initiated on D’ + T and N/P, Nonetheless, patients initiation on N/p had more outpatient visits, including more outpatient visit for reasons unrelated to drug administration.

Cautious addition of targeted therapy to PD-1 inhibitors after initial progression of BRAF mutant metastatic melanoma on checkpoint inhibitor therapy.

TL;DR: 2nd line therapy with PD-1 inhibitors plus BRAF±MEK inhibitors has substantial activity and manageable toxicity and can induce additional durable complete responses after failure of initial immunotherapy of metastatic melanoma.

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.
