The STARBOARD Study: Phase 3 Study of Encorafenib and Binimetinib Plus Pembrolizumab in BRAF V600E/K Mutation-Positive Metastatic or Unresectable Locally Advanced Melanoma
EU CTIS ID: 2024-512038-13-00
What this study is testing
Safety Lead-In: To determine the RP3D of encorafenib and binimetinib when given in combination with pembrolizumab. Randomized Phase 3: To compare the efficacy of encorafenib and binimetinib plus pembrolizumab (Triplet Arm) versus placebo plus pembrolizumab (Control Arm) with respect to OR by BICR assessment.
