Comparative effectiveness among BRAF plus MEK inhibitors for patients with BRAF V600-mutant melanoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Understanding of comparative efficacy of treatments can inform clinical decision-making. This study compared overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) across patients with metastatic BRAFV600-mutant melanoma initiating encorafenib + binimetinib (ENCO + BINI), dabrafenib + trametinib (DAB + TRAM), and vemurafenib + cobimetinib (VEM + COBI).

Materials and methods

In this hybrid study, we contextualized OS and PFS between patients with metastatic BRAF V600E/K-mutant melanoma receiving ENCO + BINI in the phase III COLUMBUS trial (enrollment: December 2013 to April 2015) versus real-world data (RWD) from a nationwide electronic health record-derived deidentified database (treatment initiation: 2014-2021). After observing consistent outcomes across trial
