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.

Recent advances in molecular targeted therapy for unresectable and metastatic BRAF-mutated melanoma.

TL;DR: In this article, a meta-analysis of retrospective data showed that the baseline lactate dehydrogenase level is significantly higher in patients treated with BRAF inhibitors plus MEK inhibitors than in those treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Correlation between initial tumour volume and treatment duration on Dabrafenib: observation study of subjects with BRAF mutant melanoma on the BRF112680 trial

TL;DR: TV is a predictor for treatment duration and is prognostic of OS and PFS in patients with metastatic melanoma, and need to be validated prospectively in clinical trials.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cardiotoxicity in metastatic melanoma patients treated with BRAF and MEK inhibitors in a real-world setting.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed sequential multigated acquisition (MUGA) scans for the evaluation of LVEF and provided real-world data on cardiotoxicity induced by BRAF/MEKi in advanced melanoma.
Journal ArticleDOI

BRAF mutation testing for patients diagnosed with stage III or stage IV melanoma: practical guidance for the Australian setting

TL;DR: In this article , the authors recommend that DNA-based BRAF mutation testing always be performed, regardless of whether IHC-based testing is also conducted, and advice about tissue/specimen selection of patients diagnosed with stage III or IV melanoma is also offered.

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.
