PD-L1 status does not predict the outcome of BRAF inhibitor therapy in metastatic melanoma

AbstractBackground:Targeted therapies with BRAF plus MEK inhibitors (BRAFi; MEKi)represent the major treatment strategy for patients with BRAF-mutated metastatic melanoma(MM). Previous analyses suggested a correlation between programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1)expression in tumour tissues and the outc...

Zusammenfassung:AbstractBackground:Targeted therapies with BRAF plus MEK inhibitors (BRAFi; MEKi)represent the major treatment strategy for patients with BRAF-mutated metastatic melanoma(MM). Previous analyses suggested a correlation between programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1)expression in tumour tissues and the outcome of targeted therapies. This study investigatedPD-L1 as a potential predictive biomarker of BRAFi-based targeted therapies in MM patients
