Article Synopsis
- Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a rare type of cancer with unique features, but its natural history and best treatment practices are not well understood.
- The EURACAN project has created a registry to gather prospective data on newly diagnosed EHE patients to enhance understanding of the disease.
- The study will involve collecting comprehensive patient data from specialized hospitals to identify prognostic factors, treatment efficacy, and to monitor the disease's progression and outcomes over time.
Background: Real-world data on extended follow-up of patients with BRAF V600-mutant metastatic melanoma are limited. We investigated dabrafenib plus trametinib (dab + tram) outside of a clinical trial setting (Individual Patient Program; DESCRIBE Italy).
Objective: To describe the baseline features, treatment patterns, efficacy, and safety outcomes in patients with BRAF V600-mutant unresectable or metastatic melanoma who had received dab + tram as part of the Managed Access Program (MAP) in Italy.
