Novartis’ Tafinlar + Mekinist shows long-term survival benefit in melanoma

Novartis (NYSE:NVS) announces five-year follow-up data from its COMBI-AD study evaluating the combination of Tafinlar (dabrafenib) and Mekinist (trametinib) in high-risk stage III BRAF mutation-positive melanoma patients following the surgical removal of the cancer.
At year 5, 52% of the patients who received adjuvant treatment with the doublet therapy were alive and relapse-free compared to 36% of patients receiving placebo after surgery.
Median relapse-free survival (RFS) was not reached at the five-year data cutoff.
