Abstract

Introduction The incidence of cutaneous melanoma has increased worldwide over the years, and an incidence of 3 cases per 100,000 men and women is estimated in Chile. Though most of the patients are diagnosed at an early stage of the disease and have a good prognosis, advanced melanoma has poor survival results. For the treatment of melanoma, the combination of dabrafenib plus trametinib has been demonstrated to improve the outcome versus dabrafenib alone, but only indirect evidence is available for its efficacy and safety compared with immunotherapy, like nivolumab. The aim of this study is to review the available evidence to report results of efficacy and safety of dabrafenib plus trametinib in comparison with nivolumab in metastatic melanoma. Methods We searched in Epistemonikos, the largest database of systematic reviews in health, which is maintained by screening multiple information sources, including MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane, among others. We extracted data from the systematic reviews selected, reanalyzed data of primary studies, and generated a summary of the findings table using the GRADE approach. Results and conclusions We identified five systematic reviews, including seven studies overall that included one intervention of our interest, of which all were randomized trials. We only found indirect evidence comparing dabrafenib plus trametinib versus nivolumab that came from Network Meta-Analyses. We concluded that it is not possible to decide if dabrafenib plus trametinib is a better strategy for advanced melanoma treatment than nivolumab because the certainty of the evidence is very low for efficacy and safety outcomes.
