Abstract
A phase II trial comparing dual MAPK pathway inhibition by combining BRAF and MEK inhibitors with BRAF inhibition alone showed increased progression-free survival and reduced incidence of secondary malignancies in patients with mutant BRAF V600 melanoma. This trial provides strong support for developing combinations hitting the same pathway in melanoma.Entities:
