Open AccessHealth-related quality of life impact of cobimetinib in combination with vemurafenib in patients with advanced or metastatic BRAFV600 mutation–positive melanoma
In the coBRIM study, cobimetinib plus vemurafenib (C+V) significantly improved survival outcomes vs placebo and vemurafenib (P+V) in patients with advanced/metastatic BRAFV600-mutated melanoma. An analysis of hea...

High-scale expansion of melanoma-reactive TIL by a polyclonal stimulus: predictability and relation with disease advancement
The rationale of treating melanoma patients by infusion with tumor-infiltrating leukocytes (TIL) is to perform an adoptive therapy through injection of tumor-specific T cells. Nonetheless, methods currently u...
