Brief Summary:
BERING-MELANOMA - designed as a prospective, longitudinal, non-interventional study - investigates real-world effectiveness, quality of life, safety and tolerability of encorafenib plus binimetinib in unresectable advanced or metastatic BRAF(Rapidly Accelerated Fibrosarcoma isoform B)-V600-mutant malignant melanoma after commercial availability of these two products in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The study focusses on the documentation of the first and second line setting (i.e. after one line of prior checkpoint inhibition) by documenting patients treated according to the SmPC (Summary of Product Characteristics).
