C + V cobimetinib plus vemurafenib, CI confidence interval, HR hazard ratio, K–M Kaplan–Meier, Max%SLD maximum percentage change in the sum of longest diameters, OS overall survival, PD disease progression, PFS progression-free survival, SLD sum of longest diameters, TimeMax%SLD time to maximum percentage change in the sum of longest diameters, V vemurafenib monotherapy

aThe HR and p-values from the Cox proportional hazards regression model are for the comparison of two-pooled cohorts (pooled cobimetinib plus vemurafenib versus pooled vemurafenib)

bThe HR and p-values from the Cox proportional hazards regression model are for Max%SLD of target lesions before or on the first PD, or TimeMax%SLD of target lesion before or at the first PD within each cohort, analysed as continuous variables within each cohort
