Excerpt:
Of the 14 patients evaluable for efficacy, the overall response rate was 64% (95% confidence interval [CI], 35-87). At a median follow-up of 25 months (IQR, 9-28), progression-free survival at 12 months was 41% (95% CI, 13-68)….Triplet therapy with PEM, ENC and BIN as used in the study was feasible and safe and led to clinically meaningful disease control.

Treatment naïve adult patients (pts) with stage IIIB-IV (AJCC 2017), BRAF V600 mutant melanoma...In median, pts at DL 0 (n=8) received triplet therapy for 18 weeks (IQR 7.5-29), at DL-1 (n=6) for 46 weeks (IQR 27-102). The overall response rate was 64% (95% CI=35-87).
Combined BRAF and MEK inhibition with PD-1 blockade immunotherapy in BRAF-mutant melanoma
Excerpt:
We enrolled 15 patients with BRAFV600-mutated metastatic melanoma in a first-in-human clinical trial of dabrafenib, trametinib and pembrolizumab...Eleven patients (73%; 95% confidence interval = 45-92%) had an objective response, and six (40%; 95% confidence interval = 16-68%) continued with a response at a median follow-up of 27 months (range = 10.3-38.4+ months) for all patients. This study suggests that this triple-combined therapy may benefit a subset of patients with BRAFV600-mutated metastatic melanoma by increasing the frequency of long-lasting antitumor responses.
