Table 2. Multivariate Analysis of Factors Associated With Best Overall Responsea.

Risk factor at baseline Effect OR (95% CI) P value
Baseline albumin/albumin ULN Units = −1b 0.16 (0.05-0.49) .001
LDH level Elevated vs normal 0.61 (0.47-0.79) <.001
Tumor size >93 mm vs ≤93 mmc 0.47 (0.36-0.61) <.001
Ipilimumab exposure Ipilimumab exposed vs ipilimumab naive 0.71 (0.56-0.91) .006
Prior systemic BRAFi therapy Yes vs no 0.71 (0.52-0.97) .030
PD-L1 status Negative vs positive 0.52 (0.37-0.73) <.001
Sex Female vs male 0.64 (0.50-0.81) <.001

Abbreviations: BRAFi, BRAF inhibitor; LDH, lactate dehydrogenase; OR, odds ratio; PD-L1, programmed death ligand 1; ULN, upper limit of normal.

a

Analysis included all response-evaluable patients, regardless of BRAF V600E/K mutation status. Overall response was determined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, version 1.1, per investigator review.

b

A 1-unit decrease was used to ensure the OR direction for all risk factors was the same.

c

Cutoff chosen based on the value that showed the most significant difference in response.
