Indirect treatment comparison of dabrafenib plus trametinib versus vemurafenib plus cobimetinib in previously untreated metastatic melanoma patients [PDF]
Background Metastatic melanoma is an aggressive form of skin cancer with a high mortality rate and the fastest growing global incidence rate of all malignancies. The introduction of BRAF/MEK inhibitor combinations has yielded significant increases in PFS

Efficacy, safety, and relapse outcomes of MAPK inhibitors in pediatric Langerhans cell histiocytosis: A real-world study. [PDF]
What's new? Mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitors are promising treatments for pediatric Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH), a rare heterogeneous neoplasm that often affects multiple organ systems. Which MAPK inhibitors are most effective against LCH remains uncertain.

Rapid recovery of postnivolumab vemurafenib-induced Drug Rash with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS) syndrome after tocilizumab and infliximab administration [PDF]
Background Immune checkpoint inhibitors such as nivolumab and targeted BRAF inhibitors have dramatically altered the treatment outcomes of metastatic melanoma over the past few years. Skin toxicity is the most common adverse event (AE) related to the

BRAFV600E mutation positive metastatic melanoma in a young woman treated with anti-BRAF/anti MEK combination: a case report [PDF]
The recent Combi-v [1] and Combi-d [2,3], phase III randomized trials, showed, respectively, an OS benefit with Dabrafenib/Trametinib combination versus Vemurafenib and an improvement in PFS and ORR with the same combination versus Dabrafenib alone ...

Concurrent MEK targeted therapy prevents MAPK pathway reactivation during BRAFV600E targeted inhibition in a novel syngeneic murine glioma model. [PDF]
Inhibitors of BRAFV600E kinase are currently under investigations in preclinical and clinical studies involving BRAFV600E glioma. Studies demonstrated clinical response to such individualized therapy in the majority of patients whereas in some patients ...

JUN dependency in distinct early and late BRAF inhibition adaptation states of melanoma. [PDF]
A prominent mechanism of acquired resistance to BRAF inhibitors in BRAF (V600) -mutant melanoma is associated with the upregulation of receptor tyrosine kinases.

Drug-tolerant persister cancer cells are vulnerable to GPX4 inhibition. [PDF]
Acquired drug resistance prevents cancer therapies from achieving stable and complete responses. Emerging evidence implicates a key role for non-mutational drug resistance mechanisms underlying the survival of residual cancer 'persister' cells.
