Overview

This program being filmed in front of a live studio audience, will update participants on advances in the field, with a focus on the changing treatment landscape for metastatic melanoma, including both recently approved agents, such as the targeted drugs dabrafenib and trametinib, the BRAF inhibitor vemurafenib, as well as investigational agents, including immunotherapy agents that are available via clinical trials. In a roundtable discussion format, our panel of experts will discuss late-stage investigational agents, such as PD1 and PD-L1 inhibitors, and investigational indications for approved agents. Then they will debate where approved agents fit into current treatment paradigms, focusing on how to sequence the agents in the treatment armamentarium to provide the best possible benefit. Case scenarios presented during the panel discussion will highlight some of the important clinical questions faced in clinical practice.  Lastly, the panel will spend time discussing treatment options for advanced basal cell carcinoma.
