Best overall response was assessed by the investigator with the use of RECIST v1.1.

Data include patients with a complete response and those with a partial response. The calculation of the confidence interval was based on the Clopper–Pearson method. These analyses were conducted using a two-sided Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test stratified by PD-L1 status, BRAF mutation status, and metastasis stage.
