A Phase 1b/2 Multicenter, Randomized, Umbrella Study Evaluating Novel Treatment Combinations in Melanoma (MORPHEUS-MELANOMA)
This poster describes the design of a phase 1b/2 multicenter, randomized, open-label, umbrella study (MORPHEUS-MELANOMA) to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of various novel treatments or treatment combinations targeting multiple immune evasion mechanisms in patients with treatment-naive, resectable stage III melanoma and in patients with previously treated stage IV melanoma.

Time to Development of Central Nervous System Metastases With Atezolizumab or Placebo Combined With Vemurafenib + Cobimetinib: Updated Results From the Phase 3 IMspire150 Study
The phase 3 IMspire150 study demonstrated improved progression-free survival with first-line combination treatment with the combination of atezolizumab, vemurafenib, and cobimetinib compared with placebo, vemurafenib, and cobimetinib in patients with previously untreated BRAFV600 mutation–positive advanced melanoma. This poster describes results of an exploratory analysis to evaluate incidence and time to development of CNS metastases in the IMspire150 study.

Melanoma brain metastasis in previously treated patients by tumor mutation type
This real-world observational study evaluated the incidence of brain metastases and overall survival according to BRAF and NRAS mutational status in patients with previously-treated advanced melanoma.

Evaluation of Patients With Surgically Resected High-Risk Melanoma Receiving Adjuvant Therapy in Routine Clinical Practice in the US
This study assessed adjuvant treatment patterns and outcomes in patients with advanced melanoma by BRAF status and relapse location using the Flatiron Health electronic health record-derived deidentified database. The majority of patients with resected stage III melanoma, including patients who experienced relapse, initiated adjuvant treatment with checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs) vs targeted therapies (TTs) in the real-world setting. Early relapse free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) outcomes for patients with surgically resected stage III melanoma appear comparable with those reported in randomized clinical studies. Outcomes for patients with distant relapse after adjuvant therapy remain unfavorable and represent a continued unmet medical need.

Atezolizumab plus vemurafenib and cobimetinib provides favorable survival outcomes in patients with high tumor mutation burden and proinflammatory gene signature in the phase 3 IMspire150 study
The randomized controlled, phase 3 IMspire150 study showed that combination treatment with atezolizumab, vemurafenib and cobimetinib improved treatment outcomes versus placebo plus vemurafenib and cobimetinib in patients with advanced/metastatic BRAFV600 mutation-positive melanoma. This poster presents a comparative analysis of treatment benefit in terms of progression-free survival and duration of objective response in subgroups of patients defined by tumor mutation burden (TMB) and immune microenvironment. The analysis show that treatment benefit with atezolizumab, vemurafenib and cobimetinib over placebo plus vemurafenib and cobimetinib is variable and is generally more pronounced in patients whose tumors accumulate more mutations (TMB >10 mutations /Mb) or those with a pro-inflammatory tumor immune microenvironment.

Association of response with survival outcomes with atezolizumab in combination with vemurafenib and cobimetinib in the phase 3 IMspire150 study
The randomized controlled, phase 3 IMspire150 study showed that combination treatment with atezolizumab, vemurafenib and cobimetinib improved treatment outcomes versus placebo + vemurafenib + cobimetinib in patients with advanced/metastatic BRAFV600 mutation-positive melanoma. This poster presents results of an exploratory analysis evaluating the impact of response on survival outcomes in subgroups of patients defined by treatment response. The analysis showed that progression-free survival and overall survival were longest in patients who achieved complete response and shortest in those with stable disease, irrespective of treatment arm; in patients who achieved partial response, progression-free survival and overall survival were improved with atezolizumab + vemurafenib + cobimetinib versus placebo + vemurafenib + cobimetinib.
