Smriti Patodia, Senior Editor of The Lancet Oncology, is joined by Professor Caroline Robert from Gustave Roussy Cancer Campus, France to discuss the EBIN trial. EBIN was an open-label, randomised, controlled, phase 2 trial conducted at 37 centres in eight European countries, and aimed to investigate the use of a targeted-therapy induction regimen before treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors in patients with metastatic melanoma with BRAFV600E or BRAFV600K mutations.
