Excerpt:
...NCCN Panel recommends BRAF inhibitor monotherapy only in those rare cases where combination therapy is contraindicated. In such cases, BRAF inhibitor monotherapy remains a treatment option especially if the patient is not an appropriate candidate for immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy. Dabrafenib/trametinib, vemurafenib/cobimetinib, and encorafenib/binimetinib combination therapy regimens are FDA approved for the treatment of patients with unresectable or distant metastatic melanoma with BRAF V600E or V600K mutations, as detected by an FDA-approved test.
