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

Rescue of cell cycle progression in BRAF inhibitor–resistant human melanoma by a chromatin modifier
The BRAF V600E -specific inhibitor vemurafenib blocks mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway and induces cell cycle arrest at G0/G1 phase leading to apoptosis of melanomas.

Vemurafenib inhibits necroptosis in normal and pathological conditions as a RIPK1 antagonist
Necroptosis, a programmed cell death with necrotic-like morphology, has been recognized as an important driver in various inflammatory diseases. Inhibition of necroptosis has shown potential promise in the therapy of multiple human diseases.

Melanoma Cell Resistance to Vemurafenib Modifies Inter-Cellular Communication Signals
The therapeutic success of BRAF inhibitors (BRAFi) and MEK inhibitors (MEKi) in BRAF-mutant melanoma is limited by the emergence of drug resistance, and several lines of evidence suggest that changes in the tumor microenvironment can play a pivotal role ...

Combination of antibodies directed against different ErbB3 surface epitopes prevents the establishment of resistance to BRAF/MEK inhibitors in melanoma [PDF]
Patients with metastatic melanoma bearing V600 mutations in BRAF oncogene clinically benefit from the treatment with BRAF inhibitors alone or in combination with MEK inhibitors.

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 ...
