Targeted therapies: BREAKing a path for progress - Dabrafenib confirms class effect

Research output: Contribution to journal › Review article › peer-review

Abstract

Dabrafenib is the second agent in the therapeutic class of selective BRAF inhibitors, and has proven efficacy in a phase III trial (BREAK-3) with impressive improvements in progression-free survival and response rates. Differences in the safety profile exist compared with vemurafenib, but the future lies in combinatorial strategies and improved patient selection.
