The prospective registration of completely resected high-risk stage III melanoma patients treated with dabrafenib and trametinib in the adjuvant setting was planned to be based on collaboration with 8 centers of excellence on melanoma patients treatment, according to their expertise and experience.
Patients were recruited from participating centers in the routine setting. This was done only if the decision about starting treatment with dabrafenib and trametinib had already been made. All patients that complied with the inclusion criteria and that started treatment with dabrafenib+ trametinib during the recruitment period were considered to participate in the study, at investigator discretion.
Health related quality of life had to be assessed by FACT-M and EQ-5D-3L questionnaires after treatment initiation in a quarterly base, according to clinical practice, including the first visit after treatment completion.
