Abstract

Encorafenib plus binimetinib combination therapy is one of the first-line therapies for advanced melanoma, and it is known to cause a different profile of adverse events (AEs) than dabrafenib plus trametinib combination therapy. Of such AEs, tubulointerstitial nephritis caused by BRAF plus MEK inhibitors combination therapy is limited. In this report, a case of tubulointerstitial nephritis that developed in a rheumatoid arthritis patient with advanced melanoma treated with encorafenib plus dabrafenib combination therapy is presented.
