Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Detailed Description

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

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.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Arm 1

All subjects will receive the combination of dabrafenib (150 mg) and trametinib (2 mg) in the morning at approximately the same time every day. The second dose of dabrafenib (150 mg) alone will be administered approximately 12 hours after the morning dose. Subjects will continue study treatment until disease progression, death, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or study closure

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Dabrafenib

Intervention Type DRUG

Dabrafenib will be provided as 50 mg and 75 mg capsules. Each capsule will contain 50 mg or 75 mg of free base (present as the mesylate salt)

Trametinib

* Primary mucosal or ocular melanoma.
* Prior treatment with a BRAF inhibitor (including but not limited to dabrafenib, vemurafenib, LGX818, and XL281/BMS-908662) or a MEK inhibitor (including but not limited to trametinib, AZD6244, and RDEA119).
* Any major surgery, extensive radiotherapy, chemotherapy with delayed toxicity, biologic anti-cancer therapy, or immuno anti-cancer therapy within 21 days prior to enrolment /or daily or weekly chemotherapy without the potential for delayed toxicity within 14 days prior to enrolment. (Note: Ipilimumab, pembrolizumab and nivolumab treatment must ended at least 8 weeks prior to enrollment).
* Taken an investigational drug within 28 days or 5 half-lives (minimum 14 days), whichever is shorter, prior to enrolment. (Note: in case ipilimuamb, pembrolizmab and nivolumab are investigational drug in the regions and countries, and in case of PD-L1 antibody, these investigational treatment must have ended at least 8 weeks prior to enrollment ).
