The combination of BRAF inhibitor and MEK inhibitor is one of the first‐line treatments for unresectable BRAF‐mutant melanoma or as an adjuvant therapy. However, some patients who received the combination of dabrafenib and trametinib (CombiDT) or the combination of encorafenib and binimetinib (CombiEB) had adverse events (AEs) including pyrexia. We herein report a patient with BRAF‐mutated melanoma who repeatedly developed elevated levels of D‐dimer and pyrexia after CombiDT and CombiEB treatments. Moreover, concomitant edoxaban prevented these AEs, enabling the patient to continue receiving CombiEB.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
