Regimen
FDA-recommended dose |
Study | Evidence | Comparator | Comparative Efficacy |
---|---|---|---|
Long et al. 2017 (COMBI-AD) | Phase III (E-RT-esc) | Placebo | Seems to have superior OS |
Note: per the authors, "the between-group difference (P=0.0006) did not reach the prespecified threshold of P=0.000019 to claim statistical significance in the first interim analysis of overall survival."
Preceding treatment
- Completion lymphadenectomy, within 12 weeks
Chemotherapy
- Dabrafenib (Tafinlar) 150 mg PO twice per day
- Trametinib (Mekinist) 2 mg PO once per day
Up to 12-month course
