Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study was designed to determine the overall response rate (ORR) of oral Dabrafenib in combination with oral Trametinib in subjects with rare BRAF V600E mutated cancers. Subjects needed to have a fresh or frozen tumor tissue sample provided to confirm the BRAF V600E mutation status. Only subjects with histologically confirmed advanced disease and no available standard treatment options were eligible for enrollment. Subjects underwent screening assessments within 14 days (up to 35 days for ophthalmology exam, echocardiogram or disease assessments) prior to the start of treatment to determine their eligibility for enrollment in the study. All subjects enrolled received oral dabrafenib 150 mg bid in combination with oral trametinib 2 mg once daily. Subjects continued treatment until an unacceptable toxicity, disease progression, withdrawal of consent or death. Once a subject discontinued treatment, a post-treatment follow-up visit was conducted within 28 days (+ 7 days) after the last dose of study treatment(s). Extended follow-up visits were conducted every 4 weeks (+/- 7 days) for the first 6 months and then every 3 months (+/- 14 days) thereafter. A subject was considered to have discontinued the study if the subject was lost to follow-up or withdrew consent or another reason existed that prevented additional data from being collected on the subject. A subject was considered to have completed the study at the time of death.

For each histology, up to 25 patients were planned to be enrolled in each of the 9 primary analysis cohorts. A cohort could be closed or stopped early (prior to capping at 25 patients) for futility or efficacy. An uncapped expansion cohort was planned when a particular cohort was stopped early for efficacy. All planned histology cohorts enrolled at least one subject, with the exception of the germ cell tumor cohort. Enrolment in the study was closed in July 2018.

Study Groups

Dabrafenib + Trametinib

Subjects received Dabrafenib 150 mg twice daily orally plus Trametinib 2 mg once daily orally on a continuous basis. Dabrafenib was administered under fasted conditions, either 1 hour (hr) before or 2 hours (hrs) after a meal with approximately 200 mL of water with an interval of 12 hours. Trametinib was administered under fasted conditions, either 1 hr before or 2 hrs after a meal with approximately 200 mL of water. Subjects took their dose of Trametinib concurrently with the morning dose of Dabrafenib. A treatment cycle was 28 days in duration. Subjects continued treatment until an unacceptable toxicity, disease progression, or death occurs.

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Signed, written informed consent.
* Sex: male or female.
* Age: \>=18 years of age at the time of providing informed consent.
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status: 0, 1 or 2.
* Must have advanced disease and no standard treatment options as determined by locally/regionally available standards of care and treating physician's discretion
* Must have a a BRAF V600E mutation-positive tumor as confirmed by an approved local laboratory or a sponsor designated central reference laboratory. All subjects must provide an archived or fresh tumor sample (for solid tumors) or a fresh BM aspirate and peripheral blood sample (for HCL and MM) for confirmation testing of the BRAF V600E mutation by a sponsor designated central reference laboratory using a sponsor designated assay
* Able to swallow and retain orally administered medication. NOTE: Subject should not have any clinically significant gastrointestinal (GI) abnormalities that may alter absorption such as malabsorption syndrome or major resection of the stomach or bowels. For example, subjects should have no more than 50% of the large intestine removed and no sign of malabsorption (i.e., diarrhea).NOTE: If clarification is needed as to whether a condition will significantly affect the absorption of study treatments, contact the GSK Medical Monitor.
