Study Summary

We propose to conduct a phase 2 study to assess whether the addition of acitretin to vemurafenib therapy is able to decrease the rate of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) development, a known side effect of vemurafenib therapy, in patients with advanced melanoma. Further, we seek a preliminary assessment as to whether the addition of acitretin to vemurafenib enhances the clinical efficacy of this anti-melanoma agent.
