This study aims to compare real-world effectiveness of BRAF/MEK inhibitors in BRAF-mutant metastatic melanoma patients in the United States by line of therapy.
The Flatiron Health electronic health record (EHR) data from US cancer clinics will be used for this retrospective database analysis.

- real-world Progression Free Survival (rwPFS) [ Time Frame: From index date to either date of first progression or death, whichever comes first, assessed up to 52 months ]Time to event (months). Length of time from index date to either the date of first progression event or death in the absence of progression. rwPFS will be analyzed by line of therapy. Patients without a progression or death date more than 14 days after the index date will be censored at the last date the patient could have been assessed for progression (eg, last clinical note date).
- real-world Overall Survival (rwOS) [ Time Frame: From index date to death, assessed up to 52 months ]Time to event (months). Length of time from index date to the date of death. Patients without a date of death will be censored at their last known activity.
- real-world Complete Response (rwCR) [ Time Frame: From index date to start date of next line of therapy, most recent administration/visit date, abstracted end date for the oral span, or date of death, whichever came first, assessed up to 52 months ]Categorical variable. Complete resolution of disease. Categorical response to therapy observed after start of therapy at each assessment time point.
- real-world Partial Response (rwPR) [ Time Frame: From index date to start date of next line of therapy, most recent administration/visit date, abstracted end date for the oral span, or date of death, whichever came first, assessed up to 52 months ]Categorical variable. Partial reduction in tumor burden in some or all areas without any areas of increasing disease over observation period. rwPR captures a decrease in disease burden even though disease is still present.
- real-world Stable Disease (rwSD) [ Time Frame: From index date to start date of next line of therapy, most recent administration/visit date, abstracted end date for the oral span, or date of death, whichever came first, assessed up to 52 months ]Categorical variable No change in overall disease burden over observation period, rwSD is also used to capture mixed response (some lesions increased, some lesions decreased).
- real-world Progressed Disease (rwPD) [ Time Frame: From index date to start date of next line of therapy, most recent administration/visit date, abstracted end date for the oral span, or date of death, whichever came first, assessed up to 52 months ]Categorical variable Increase in disease and/or presence of any new lesions over observation period.
- Duration of therapy (DoT) [ Time Frame: From index date to start date of next line of therapy, most recent administration/visit date, abstracted end date for the oral span, or date of death, whichever came first, assessed up to 52 months ]
Continuous (months) Length of time from the start of a treatment to the time of treatment discontinuation for any reason, within a given line of therapy (LOT) (eg, time from therapy start to treatment discontinuation, therapy change [next LOT - switch or augment], or death).
Calculated within each LOT in scope (eg, for first line and for second line separately). Start date is the earliest of all drug episodes across all drugs in the LOT.
The end date of the first LOT is the day before the start date of the second LOT.
The end date of the second LOT is defined as the earliest of either:
- The most recent administration or visit date
- When available, the abstracted end date for the oral span is used as the LOT end date
- The date of death, if applicable (Note that for patient privacy and de-identification purposes, date of death is generalized to the last day of the month of death).
- Time off treatment (ToffT) [ Time Frame: From index date to start date of next line of therapy, most recent administration/visit date, abstracted end date for the oral span, or date of death, whichever came first, assessed up to 52 months ]Continuous (months) Length of time between date where the first line of therapy is discontinued to date where the second line of therapy is initiated.
