Abbreviations: BRAFi, BRAF inhibitor; ECOG PS, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status; HR, hazard ratio; LDH, lactate dehydrogenase; PD-L1, programmed death ligand 1.

a

Analysis included all patients, regardless of BRAF mutation status. Progression-free survival was determined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, version 1.1, per investigator review.

b

The clinical study and prior ipilimumab exposure were highly correlated, and only 1 could be included in the model. See eTable 3 in the Supplement for multivariate analysis with study included as a covariate instead of ipilimumab exposure.

c

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