Investigational treatment arm | Experimental | Part 1: Safety run-in Up to 18 evaluable patients with previously untreated unresectable or metastatic BRAF V600 mutated melanoma will be enrolled and treated at different dose levels to determine the recommended Phase 3 regimen of PDR001 in combination with dabrafenib and trametinib. Part 2: Biomarker cohort Approximately 20 patients with previously unresectable or metastatic BRAF V600 mutated melanoma will be enrolled to describe changes in the immune microenvironment and biomarker modulations Part 3: Randomized double blind Approximately 500 patients with previously untreated unresectable and metastatic BRAF V600 mutated melanoma will be enrolled to compare the anti-tumor activity of PDR001 in combination with dabrafenib and trametinib versus placebo plus dabrafenib and trametinib. |

Safety Issue: | |
Description: | Duration of response is defined as the time from first documented response of CR or PR to date of first documented progression or death, according to RECIST 1.1 criteria |
Measure: | Disease control rate |
Time Frame: | Up to disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first (5 years) |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | Disease control rate is defined as the proportion of patients with CR or PR or subjects with SD lasting for a duration of at least 24 weeks as per local review according to RECIST 1.1 criteria |
