About this study

This was a retrospective cohort study using the MarketScan health care administrative claim databases: Truven Health Analytics' MarketScan Commercial Claims and Encounters; MarketScan Medicare Supplement and Coordination of Benefit. We conducted this analysis using the most recent available data from the MarketScan database at the time of analysis, which was 01 June 2018 to 31 December 2020. We initiated this analysis from 01 June 2018 as encorafenib + binimetinib (enco/bini) was approved for patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma with BRAF mutation at this time.
