PFS from the start of run-in until PD1 was the primary endpoint (PFS1); secondary efficacy endpoints were OS, overall PFS (PFS2) and PFS3 (time from PD1 to PD after crossover, i.e. PD2) and best overall response rates (BORRs).The final analysis (median follow-up 57.0 months, interquartile range 22.7-63.0 months) confirmed longer PFS1 for continuous TT [arm A (69 patients) versus arm B (early switch, 66 patients); hazard ratio (HR) 0.61, 95 %K crossover design (Other) %K immunotherapy (Other) %K melanoma (Other) %K sequential therapy (Other) %K targeted therapy (Other) %F PUB:(DE-HGF)16 %9 Journal Article %$ pmid:40345056 %R 10.1016/j.esmoop.2025.105053 %U https://inrepo02.dkfz.de/record/301264
