Reporting from ESMO Virtual Congress 2020, Paolo Ascierto gives an overview of important study results in Melanoma. He looks at interesting findings in patients with BRAF V600-mutant melanoma about treatment sequence for Immunotherapy and targeted therapy combinations, along with a triplet therapy study.
Regarding the use of pembrolizumab, he comments on confirmed results in terms of improving distant metastasis-free survival, and shows promising data about the combination with lenvatinib in patients who progressed to PD-1 or PL-L1 inhibitor.
