Michael A. Postow, MD, medical oncologist, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, discusses BRAF and MEK inhibitor combinations studies in melanoma.
There are 2 BRAF and MEK studies for patients with stage III resected melanoma. The BRIM8 study investigated vemurafenib (Zelboraf) versus placebo, states Postow. The other study is the COMBI-AD study, which investigated dabrafenib (Tafinlar) plus trametinib (Mekinist) versus placebo for patients with stage III resected melanoma.
According to Postow, both studies had interesting biologic effects demonstrating efficacy.
