Immunotherapy is the Preferred Initial Treatment for Most Patients with Metastatic BRAF V600 Mutant Melanoma Michael B. Atkins, M.D. Deputy Director Georgetown-Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center
2
The case for immunotherapy--- Immunotherapy produces durable unmaintained tumor responses Immunotherapy works as well against BRAFV600 mutant melanoma as WT tumors Immunotherapy is getting better Better drugs Better patient selection BRAF inhibitors work as well in patients with prior immune therapy; the converse is not so

Produces durable unmaintained responses; not restricted by BRAF status Activity powerful enough to work in the CNS and overcome concurrent immunosuppression Activity seen in patients with prior IL-2 Activity seen in patients with elevated LDH, liver metastases, etc Treatment more widely applicable Ipilimumab Therapy

BRAF inhibitor Therapy - Limitations Median PFS of only 6-7 months Median OS 13-16 months Forest plot suggests most of the benefit confined to patients with M1c disease Combination BRAF-MEK inhibition may offer some advantages… Sosman et al ASCO 2012, Chapman et al ASCO 2012

BRAF inhibitor Therapy - Limitations Median PFS of only 6-7 months Median OS 13-16 months Forest plot suggests most of the benefit confined to patients with M1c disease Combination BRAF-MEK inhibition may offer some advantages, but median PFS still only 7- 10 months Sosman et al ASCO 2012, Chapman et al ASCO 2012, Weber et al, ASCO 2012

BRAF inhibitor Therapy - Limitations Thus, BRAF (+/- MEK) inhibitor treatment postpones but does not prevent the tragedy of metastatic melanoma Sosman et al ASCO 2012, Chapman et al ASCO 2012, Weber et al, ASCO 2012

Treatment Selection in Patients with BRAF Mutant Melanoma: Conclusions Current data suggests that for many patients with BRAFV 600E melanoma (asymptomatic, immune infiltrate), starting with immunotherapy offers them a chance for longterm benefit without compromising their benefit from subsequent BRAFi therapy

Two shots on goal are better than one

Treatment Selection in Patients with BRAF Mutant Melanoma: Conclusions Current data suggests that for many patients with BRAFV 600E melanoma (asymptomatic, immune infiltrate), starting with immunotherapy offers them a chance for longterm benefit without compromising their benefit from subsequent BRAFi therapy Newer immunotherapies are approaching the efficacy (RR and PFS) of BRAFi with more durability
35
Immunotherapy may be the better of the two shots
