Description
Case report of a 69 year old patient with metastatic melanoma treated with MEK inhibitor TAK-733 in a clinical trial. A partial radiographic response with a decrease of 31% in the sum of maximum diameters of target metastatic lesions in the liver and spleen was noted after 2 cycles of therapy and remained progression free at more than 24 weeks. Follow-up sequencing analysis of DNA from the patient's tumor revealed a somatic BRAF L597S mutation.
