Study summary
The purpose of the Columbus-AD study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 12 months of encorafenib in combination with binimetinib in adjuvant setting of BRAF V600E/K mutant stage IIB/C melanoma versus the current standard of care (surveillance).

Exclusion Criteria:
Pre-screening
* Unknown ulceration status;

* Clinically apparent metastases (N+/M1);
* Microsatellites, satellites and/or in-transit metastases,
* Local (scar) recurrences.
Screening

Primary outcome measure(s)
Recurrence-free survival (RFS) — Approximately 4.4 years from the accrual of the first patient. RFS is defined as the time between the date of randomization and the date of 1) first recurrence (local, regional, or a distant metastasis), 2) new melanoma that is known to be either ulcerated, thick (Breslow thickness\>1 mm) or requiring a treatment other than surgery or 3) death (whatever the cause), whichever occurs first.
