Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This was a single-arm, open-label, multi-center, Phase II study to evaluate dabrafenib and trametinib combination therapy in subjects with BRAF V600 mutation-positive, unresectable or metastatic Acral lentiginous or cutaneous melanoma. This study evaluated the objective response rate (ORR), progression free survival (PFS), duration of response, overall survival (OS), safety and efficacy, to assess steady state (all subjects) exposure to dabrafenib, dabrafenib metabolites, and trametinib and characterize the population pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of dabrafenib and trametinib. Enrolled subjects were administered dabrafenib 150 milligram (mg) orally twice daily and trametinib 2 mg orally once daily. Treatment continued until disease progression, death, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent, or study closure. After treatment discontinuation, subjects were followed for survival and disease progression as applicable.

Phase 2

Detailed Description

This was an open-label, single arm, Phase IIA, multi-center study to evaluate the Objective response rate (ORR) of dabrafenib and trametinib combination therapy in East Asian subjects that have BRAF V600 mutationpositive Stage IIIC (unresectable) or Stage IV (metastatic) acral lentiginous melanoma (ALM) or cutaneous melanoma.

All subjects enrolled received oral dabrafenib 150 mg bid in combination with oral trametinib 2 mg once daily. A primary analysis presented the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) data up to the data cut-off date of 23-Feb-2018. Based on these results, dabrafenib and trametinib combination was approved in the People's Republic of China (PRC) for the treatment of BRAF-mutation positive unresectable or metastatic melanoma. Data from Mainland Chinese subjects from 01-Jul-2019 onwards are not included due to local regulations in China.

Subjects continued study treatment until disease progression, death, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or study completion. After treatment discontinuation, subjects went into follow-up for survival and disease progression as applicable. Subjects could continue study treatment after disease progression if they achieved clinical response per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 or stable disease with tumour reduction; had no overt signs of toxicity; had Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of ≤1 and did not require immediate surgical or radiological intervention.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR) [Up to 35 months]

    To determine ORR of dabrafenib in combination with trametinib in subjects with BRAF V600 mutation-positive, unresectable or metastatic melanoma. ORR is defined as the percentage of subjects with evidence of a confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version 1.1 and as assessed by the investigator.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Progression-free Survival (PFS) - Median [Up to 36 months]

    PFS defined as the time from first dose of study treatment until the first date of either objective disease progression or death due to any cause

  2. Progression-free Survival (PFS) [Up to 36 months]

    PFS defined as the time from first dose of study treatment until the first date of either objective disease progression or death due to any cause. Censored, follow-up ongoing - These subjects show as ongoing in the clinical database even though no subjects are currently ongoing, as no changes to the data were permitted after 30-Jun-2019 due to local regulations in China.

  3. Duration of Response (DOR) - Estimate for Duration of Response - Median [Up to 36 months]

    Duration of response is defined as the time from first documented evidence of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) until the earliest date of documented radiological progression or death due to any cause among subjects who achieved a confirmed CR or PR.

  4. Duration of Response (DOR) [Up to 36 months]

    Duration of response is defined as the time from first documented evidence of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) until the earliest date of documented radiological progression or death due to any cause among subjects who achieved a confirmed CR or PR. Censored, follow-up ongoing - These subjects show as ongoing in the clinical database even though no subjects are currently ongoing, as no changes to the data were permitted after 30-Jun-2019 due to local regulations in China.

  5. Overall Survival (OS) - Median [Approximately 5 years]

    OS is defined as the interval from first dose of study treatment to the date of death, irrespective of the cause of death; subjects still alive will be censored at the date of the last contact

  6. Overall Survival (OS) [Approximately 5 years]

    OS is defined as the interval from first dose of study treatment to the date of death, irrespective of the cause of death; subjects still alive will be censored at the date of the last contact. Censored, follow-up ongoing - These subjects show as ongoing in the clinical database even though no subjects are currently ongoing, as no changes to the data were permitted after 30-Jun-2019 due to local regulations in China.

  7. Number of Participants With Adverse Events [Adverse events were reported from first dose of study treatment until end of study treatment plus 30 days post treatment, up to a maximum duration of 51 months (for both dabrafenib and also Rametinib).]

    An Adverse Event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product. For marketed medicinal products, this also includes failure to produce expected benefits (i.e., lack of efficacy), abuse or misuse.
