Brief summary The purpose of this study is to compare how effective, encorafenib plus binimetinib is in the real-world and clinical trial settings. And produce results to show that combining data on encorafenib plus binimetinib from both the real-world and clinical trial settings is possible for future research studies. This study group is identified from the database who: - Have taken at least 1 order or administration of encorafenib plus binimetinib treatment after the confirmation of having metastatic melanoma after 27 June 2018. - Are at least 18 years of age at the time of first encorafenib plus binimetinib initiation (index date). - Had never received encorafenib plus binimetinib or had received first-line immunotherapy at the start of the study. - Have ECOG status of 0 or 1 at the index date. - have available data on the number of deaths in an area or group of people. Patients will be followed from the date that the patient started the first encorafenib plus binimetinib treatment (treatment initiation) up to their last date of data availability. Last date of data availability could be the date of following events: patient lost to follow up at the clinic, death, or end of the database (January 2020). The database timeframe is June 2018 to January 2020.
This was a retrospective cohort study using Truven Health Analytics' MarketScan Commercial Claims and Encounters and Medicare Supplement and Coordination of Benefit administrative claims databases. The analysis was conducted using the most recent 5 years of data from the database, 01 January 2015, to 28 February 2021 (study period). Included patients were followed for outcome evaluation from the index date (first prescription of treatment, immunotherapy [IO] or targeted therapy [TT] following diagnosis of non-metastatic malignant melanoma and evidence of first lymph node resection), until the first occurrence of end of continuous eligibility or end of the study period.
We want to test if an association between sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLBN) and a systemic inflammatory response can be made.
The current commercially available MEKTOVI® (binimetinib) 15 mg tablets are provided as immediate release film-coated tablets for oral administration. For the treatment of adult patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma with BRAF V600 mutation, the recommended dosing regimen is 45 mg twice daily (bis in die, BID). No food effect with the commercial formulation of 15 mg was demonstrated. In order to reduce the patient's burden, a new strength tablet containing 45 mg of binimetinib as active ingredient is being developed. As a result, the number of tablets to be taken by the patients will be reduced from 6 tablets (6 x 15 mg) to 2 tablets (2 x 45 mg) per day. The evaluation of the bioequivalence between one 45 mg tablet and three 15 mg tablets is therefore required.
This was a retrospective real-world evidence cohort study. The study was conducted using the NOBLE (Novartis Braf+ meLanoma patients ObsErvational) dataset, with a study period from 01 January 2011 to 31 May 2020. All included patients were ≥18 years of age and were required to have a diagnosis of unresectable stage III or IV melanoma (ICD-9 172.x & ICD-10 C43 or D03x), treatment with dabrafenib and trametinib (dab/tram) or encorafenib and binimetenib (enco/bini) on or after 01 June 2018, and evidence of a BRAF-positive result prior to or up to 30 days after therapy initiation. No quota of centers was established a priori. Given the retrospective nature of this study, all patients who met the inclusion/exclusion criteria from the NOBLE dataset were included.
This early phase I study collects blood samples and monitors the levels of pembrolizumab and nivolumab as they move through the body in patients with melanoma and/or non-small cell lung cancer. Pembrolizumab and nivolumab are a monoclonal antibodies that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Studying samples of blood in the laboratory from patients receiving pembrolizumab and nivolumab may help doctors learn more about the effects of pembrolizumab and nivolumab on cells. It may also help doctors understand how well patients respond to treatment. Information from this study may be used in the future to guide physicians to make dosage adjustments based on serum concentrations of drug to minimize adverse side effects and maximize the effect of the drug.
This was a retrospective cohort study using the PharMetrics database. The analysis was conducted using the most recent 5 years of data from the database, January 1, 2015, to October 30, 2020. Included patients were followed for outcome evaluation from the index date (first prescription of treatment, immunotherapy [IO], or targeted therapy [TT] following diagnosis of non-metastatic malignant melanoma and evidence of first lymph node resection), until the first occurrence or end of continuous eligibility or end of the study period.
This study aimed to examine if self-paced learning with a novel digital patient-case-based educational platform can increase primary care physicians' diagnostic accuracy of malignant and benign skin lesions on both the level of benign/malignant and the diagnosis level. Secondarily the study aimed to investigate the time spent in reaching this change in proficiency.
This was an observational study utilizing electronic health record (EHR)-derived data collected retrospectively during routine care of real-world patients with advanced melanoma from NOBLE (Novartis Braf+ meLanoma patients ObsErvational) dataset.
