1 Selumetinib plus dacarbazine versus placebo plus dacarbazine as first-line treatment for BRAF-mutant metastatic melanoma: a phase 2 double-blind randomised study. AZD 6244 B-Raf proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase Homo sapiens
2 Selumetinib, a MEK1/2 inhibitor, has shown antitumour activity in patients with BRAF-mutant melanoma and in preclinical models when combined with chemotherapy. AZD 6244 B-Raf proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase Homo sapiens
3 INTERPRETATION: Selumetinib plus dacarbazine showed clinical activity in patients with BRAF-mutant cutaneous or unknown primary melanoma, reflected by a significant benefit in progression-free survival compared with placebo plus dacarbazine group, although no significant change in overall survival was noted. AZD 6244 B-Raf proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase Homo sapiens
