Combination dabrafenib and trametinib versus combination nivolumab and ipilimumab for patients with advanced BRAF-mutant melanoma: The DREAMseq Trial - ECOG-ACRIN EA6134
Excerpt:In a phase III trial, patients with treatment-naïve BRAFV600-mutant metastatic melanoma were randomized to receive either combination nivolumab/ipilimumab (Arm A) or dabrafenib/trametinib (Arm B)…Median duration of response was not reached for Arm A and 12.7 months for Arm B (p<0.001)....Combination nivolumab/ipilimumab followed by BRAF and MEK inhibitor therapy, if necessary, should be the preferred treatment sequence for a large majority of patients.
