    Summary
    We report the first quality-of-life assessment of a MEK inhibitor in metastatic melanoma from a phase III study. Trametinib prolonged progression-free survival and improved overall survival versus chemotherapy in patients with BRAF V600 mutation-positive melanoma. Less functional impairment, smaller declines in health status, and less exacerbation of symptoms were observed with trametinib
