Abstract
Modern advancements in targeted therapy and immunotherapy have significantly improved survival outcomes for advanced melanoma; however, there remains a need for novel approaches to overcome disease progression and treatment resistance. In recent years, PARPi therapy has shown great promise both as a single regimen and in combination with other therapeutics in melanoma. Here, we describe three unique cases of advanced BRAF V600 mutated melanoma that progressed on targeted BRAF/MEK agents that subsequently exhibited partial to near-complete responses to combinatory PARPi and BRAF/MEK inhibitors. This highlights both a potential synergy underlying this combinatory approach and its efficacy as a treatment option for patients with advanced melanoma refractory to targeted and/or immunotherapies. Prospective clinical trials are needed to explore this synergic effect in larger melanoma cohorts to investigate this combination for treating refractory advanced melanoma.
