Abstract

Approximately 50% of patients (pts) with metastatic melanoma have BRAF V600 mutations, which promote melanoma progression through constitutive activation of the MAPK pathway. Current treatment recommendations for metastatic or unresectable BRAF V600-mutant melanoma include BRAF inhibitors (BRAFi) + MEK inhibitors (MEKi) (eg, enco + bini) and immune checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs; eg, pembro). BRAFi and MEKi may increase the sensitivity of BRAF V600-mutant tumors to CPIs. STARBOARD aims to compare the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of first-line enco + bini + pembro vs pembro alone for the treatment of metastatic or unresectable locally advanced BRAF V600-mutant melanoma.
