David Polsky, MD, PhD, discusses methods to identify circulating tumor DNA in patients with melanoma.

David Polsky, MD, PhD, discusses the findings from a liquid biopsy analysis of the COMBI-d trial, which is a phase III trial investigating the combination of dabrafenib and trametinib or dabrafenib alone in patients with BRAF V600E/K–mutant melanoma. Investigators found an association between the presence of baseline circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and a poor prognosis with the treatment of BRAF inhibitors.
