Pts were randomized 1:1 to receive D (150 mg twice daily) + T (2 mg once daily) or D+ placebo (P) as first-line therapy….Eligible pts were ≥18 years and ECOG performance status ≤1, with histologically confirmed unresectable stage IIIC or IV, BRAFV600E/K mutant cutaneous melanoma....PFS was 0.75 (95% CI: 0.57, 0.99; p=0.035), in favor of D+T with a median PFS of 9.3 v 8.8 mo with D+P. The confirmed ORR was 67%(complete response [CR] 10%) for D+T and 51% (CR 9%) for D+P (p=0.0015). HR for interim OS was 0.63 (95% CI 0.42, 0.94; p=0.023), in favor of D+T (40 v 55 deaths)....D+T demonstrated a significant improvement in PFS compared to D+P in pts with BRAFV600E/K mutant MM.
