This was a two-arm, randomized, double-blind Phase III study of dabrafenib in combination with trametinib versus two placebos in the adjuvant treatment of melanoma after surgical resection. Patients with completely resected, histologically confirmed, BRAF V600E/K mutation-positive, high-risk [Stage IIIa (lymph node metastasis >1 mm), IIIb or IIIc] cutaneous melanoma were screened for eligibility. Subjects were randomized to receive either dabrafenib (150 milligram (mg) twice daily [BID]) and trametinib (2 mg once daily [QD]) combination therapy or two placebos for 12 months.
Name: Dabrafenib
Name: Trametinib
Name: Placebos
Description: Recurrence-free survival was defined as the time from randomization to disease recurrence (local recurrence, distant recurrence, second primary melanoma), or death from any cause.
Measure: Relapse-free Survival (RFS) Time: Approximately 3.5 yearsDescription: Overall survival (OS) of dabrafenib and trametinib as a combination therapy versus placebo
Measure: Overall Survival Time: approximately 3.5 yearsDescription: Distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) of dabrafenib and trametinib as a combination therapy versus placebo. In the DMFS analysis, the first occurrence of distant metastasis or death (if it occurred before documented recurrence) was counted as an event.
Measure: Distant Metastasis-free Survival Time: approximately 3.5 yearsDescription: Freedom from relapse (FFR) of dabrafenib and trametinib as a combination therapy versus placebo. In the FFR analysis, local or distant recurrence or a new primary melanoma were counted as events, and patients who died of causes other than melanoma or treatment-related toxicity were censored.
Measure: Freedom From Relapse Time: approximately 3.5 yearsAllocation: Randomized
