Phase II Biomarker Study Evaluating The Upfront Combination Of BRAF Inhibitor Dabrafenib With MEK Inhibitor Trametinib Versus The Combination After Eight Weeks Of Monotherapy With Dabrafenib Or Trametinib In Patients With Metastatic And Unresectable Stage III Or IV Melanoma Harbouring An Activating BRAF Mutation

This is a three-arm, open-label, randomised Phase II study to evaluate whether the different sequencing of dabrafenib and trametinib monotherapies and the upfront combination has an impact on translational or clinical activity in subjects with BRAF mutant metastatic unresectable stage IIIc or IV melanoma. Both dabrafenib and trametinib have demonstrated clinical activity as monotherapies and in combination in BRAF-mutant melanoma. However, duration of responses seem to be limited due to acquired drug resistance. The goal of this protocol is to study the sequential effects of BRAF and MEK inhibition on skin, blood and tumour biomarkers and to study the correlation between biomarkers and response to treatment and intrapatient toxicity. Approximately 54 eligible subjects will be randomised in the ratio of 1:1:1 to one of the three treatment arms.

Primary Outcomes

Description: Intra-tumoral expression levels of ERK measured using immunohistochemistry methods. The H score value ranged from 0 to a maximum score of 300 (strongest expression) was derived by summing the percentages of cells staining at each intensity multiplied by the weighted intensity of staining (0 [no staining], 1+ [weak staining], 2+ [medium staining] and 3+ [strongest staining]). Baseline was defined as the most recent non-missing value prior to the first dose of study treatment. Percentage change from Baseline was calculated by dividing change from Baseline value by Baseline value and multiplied by 100. The data has been presented for combination therapy calculated from Week 0 to Week 2. The analysis was based on the biomarker Population which included all participants with biopsy performed at screening and at least once during treatment.

Baseline was defined as the most recent non-missing value prior to the first dose of study treatment.

Secondary Outcomes

Description: Clinical response was evaluated by ORR, which was defined as the number of participants with a confirmed or an unconfirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) at any time per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), version 1.1. CR was defined as disappearance of all target lesions. PR was defined as at least a 30 percent decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions. Number of participants with ORR (CR+PR) has been presented. The analysis was based on the Intent-to-Treat Population (ITT) which included all the randomized participants whether or not randomized treatment was administered.

Measure: Number of Participants With Overall Response Rate (ORR)

Time: Up to 3.2 years

Description: Vital signs including systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and heat rate (HR) were measured. Baseline was defined as the most recent non-missing value prior to the first dose of study treatment. Change from Baseline was defined as any visit value minus the Baseline value. The number of participants with heart rate "decrease to < 60" and "increase to >100" have been presented. For SBP and DBP, "any grade increase" have been presented. Any grade increase in SBP, including grade 0 (<120), grade 1 (120-139), grade 2 (140-159), grade 3 (>=160) and DBP including grade 0 (<80), grade 1 (80-89), grade 2 (90-99), grade 3 (>=100) have been presented. The analysis was based on the Safety Population which included all participants who received at least one dose of randomized treatment and was based on the actual treatment received. Only those participants available at specified time point were analyzed (represented by n=x in category titles).

Measure: Number of Participants With Change in Vital Signs From Baseline

Time: Baseline and up to 3.2 years

Description: Complete physical examination included assessments of eyes, neurological and cardiovascular systems, lungs, abdomen, and any other areas with signs and symptoms of disease, and of the head, neck, ears, nose, mouth, throat, thyroid, lymph nodes, extremities, and a full skin exam to assess cutaneous malignancies and proliferative skin diseases. This analysis was planned but data was not captured in the database. Abnormal changes were captured as adverse events if they were clinically significant.

Measure: Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Abnormal Findings Undergoing Physical Examinations

Time: Up to 3.2 years

Description: The ECOG scale of performance status describes the level of functioning of participants in terms of their ability to care for themselves, daily activity, and physical ability.
