The assay is indicated to identify patients with advanced melanoma who have BRAF V600E or BRAF V600K variants and may benefit from FDA-approved targeted therapies.
Accelerated approval is based on objective response rate and duration of response in advanced melanoma, with postapproval trials required to confirm clinical benefit.
The FDA based its approval for adults aged 50 to 64 years on phase 3 trial results, while use in adults aged 65 years and older received accelerated approval.
