Study Summary

This was a two-arm, randomized, double-blind Phase III study of dabrafenib in combination with trametinib versus 2 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. Approximately 852 patients were planned to be randomized in a 1:1 ratio, stratified by BRAF mutation status (V600E, V600K) and stage of disease (Stage IIIa, IIIb, IIIc). Patients received either dabrafenib (150 milligram (mg) twice daily \[BID\]) and trametinib (2 mg once daily \[QD\]) combination therapy or 2 matching placebos (one each for dabrafenib and trametinib) for 12 months or until disease recurrence, death, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent. Patients were followed for disease recurrence and survival during and after the treatment period. The study did not permit crossover. Doses of study treatment could be modified and/or interrupted for management of toxicities associated with study treatment.

Primary Outcome

Relapse-Free Survival (RFS) was defined as the time from randomization to disease recurrence or death from any cause. RFS events included loco-regional recurrence, distant metastases, new primary melanoma, and death without prior documented recurrence; such deaths were counted as events and not censored. Patients without an event at the analysis cut-off (30-Jun-2017) were censored at the date of the last radiological or non-radiological efficacy assessment. Patients lost to follow-up before rec
