Abstract excerpt
AIM: Pyrexia is a common adverse event (AE) on dabrafenib treatment (monotherapy or combination with trametinib). Since germline SNPs and HLA alleles are implicated in drug-induced AEs, this study investigated their association with pyrexia. PATIENTS & METHODS: 1006 melanoma subjects from five dabrafenib-trametinib clinical studies underwent genotyping for genome-wide SNPs, which enabled imputation of 150 HLA...
