  • Research summary

    This is an observational retrospective chart review study of treatment patterns and clinical and safety outcomes in subset of patients with unresectable and metastatic melanoma who received dabrafenib as part of the NPP.

    This study requires no intervention or interference with standard medical care, and thus it will not affect patient treatment.

    Charts of patients who received at least one dose of dabrafenib as part of the NPP between 1 December 2010 and 1 August 2013 will be identified by site staff. Each identified patient will be assigned a pre-formatted unique study identification number. Site staff will review the medical charts for all identified patients to determine patient eligibility. Those patients who meet eligibility criteria will be enrolled into the final study cohort as subjects. Pseudonymised data (anonymous to non-site staff) from subjects’ medical charts will be abstracted by site study staff and entered at the site into the electronic data capture (EDC) system.
