Details and patient eligibility

About

Present clinical study will be conducted in China to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of single and repeat oral doses of dabrafenib alone and dabrafenib and trametinib in combination, the safety profile and the clinical activity of dabrafenib in combination with trametinib in Chinese melanoma subjects with BRAF V600E/K mutation. Approximately 20 evaluable subjects will be enrolled in the study, out of which, the first 10 subjects will be enrolled into cohort A (Part I and II) and remaining 10 subjects will be enrolled in cohort B. Subjects in cohort A (Part I) will receive dabrafenib 150 mg twice daily (BID) and subjects in cohort A (Part II) and Cohort B will receive combination of dabrafenib 150 mg BID and trametinib 2 mg once daily (QD). Study treatment will continue until disease progression, death or unacceptable toxicity. After disease progression, all enrolled subjects will be followed up for overall survival. The study will be completed after all subjects have died or surviving subjects have had at least 5 years of follow-up, whichever occurs first.

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Provided signed written informed consent.
• Males and females >=18 years of age.
• Histologically confirmed cutaneous melanoma that is either Stage IIIC (unresectable) or Stage IV (metastatic), and BRAF V600E/K mutation-positive from the designated qualified laboratory for this study.
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1.
• Adequate baseline organ function defined by: Absolute neutrophil count (ANC): >=1,200 /microliter (uL); Hemoglobin: >=9 grams (g)/deciliter (dL); Platelets: >=100,000 /uL; Prothrombin time/ International normalization ratio and activated partial thromboplastin time: <=1.3 x Upper Limit of Normal (ULN); Total bilirubin: <=1.5 x ULN; Aspartate aminotransferase and Alanine aminotransferase: <=2.5 x ULN; Calculated creatinine clearance (Calculate creatinine clearance using standard Cockcroft-Gault formula): >=50 milliliter (mL)/ minute (min) or 24-hour urine creatinine clearance>=50 mL/min; Left ventricular Ejection fraction (LVEF): >/= 50% LVEF in case there is no established Lower limit of normal (LLN) for a given institution.

Exclusion criteria

• Prior treatment with a BRAF inhibitor or a MEK inhibitor
• Pregnant or Lactating female.
• History of another malignancy. Subjects with any previous malignancy with confirmed activating RAS mutation at any time are not eligible. Note: Prospective RAS testing is not required. However, if the results of previous RAS testing are known, they must be used in assessing eligibility. Exception: Subjects who have been disease-free for 5 years (except those with confirmed activating RAS mutations), or subjects with a history of completely resected non-melanoma skin cancer or successfully treated in situ carcinoma are eligible.
• Brain metastasis are excluded unless: All known lesions have been definitively treated with surgery or stereotactic surgery (whole-brain radiation may be given as adjuvant treatment), OR Brain lesion(s), if still present, must be confirmed stable (i.e., no increase in lesion size) for >=12 weeks prior to enrollment (stability must be confirmed with two consecutive magnetic resonance image (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) scans with contrast, separated by >6 weeks AND Asymptomatic with no corticosteroid requirements for >=4 weeks prior to enrollment, AND No enzyme inducing anticonvulsants for >=2 weeks prior to enrollment. In addition, for subjects that had brain metastases but currently have no evidence of disease (NED), NED for >=12 weeks is required and must be confirmed by two consecutive scans, separated by >=6 weeks, prior to enrollment.
• Any serious and/or unstable pre-existing medical disorder (aside from malignancy exception above), psychiatric disorder, or other conditions that could interfere with subject's safety, obtaining informed consent or compliance to the study procedures.
• Any major surgery, extensive radiotherapy, chemotherapy with delayed toxicity, biologic therapy, or immunotherapy within 21 days prior to enrolment and/or daily or weekly chemotherapy without the potential for delayed toxicity within 14 days prior to enrolment.
• Any prohibited medication(s).
• Administration of an investigational study treatment within 30 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, preceding the first dose of study treatment(s) in this study.
• Known immediate or delayed hypersensitivity reaction or idiosyncrasy to drugs chemically related to the study treatments, their excipients, and/or dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO).
• A history or evidence of cardiovascular risk including any of the following: Current LVEF < Institutional LLN; a QTc interval corrected for heart rate >=480 millisecond (msec) (using Bazett's formula); a history or evidence of current clinically significant uncontrolled arrhythmias; Exception: Subjects with atrial fibrillation controlled for >30 days prior to enrollment are eligible; a history (within 6 months prior to enrollment) of acute coronary syndromes (including myocardial infarction or unstable angina), coronary angioplasty; a history or evidence of current >=Class II congestive heart failure as defined by the New York Heart Association (NYHA) guidelines; treatment refractory hypertension defined as a blood pressure of systolic>140 millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and/or diastolic >90 mm Hg which cannot be controlled by anti-hypertensive therapy; subjects with intra-cardiac defibrillators; abnormal cardiac valve morphology (>=Grade 2) documented by echocardiogram (subjects with grade 1 abnormalities [i.e., mild regurgitation/stenosis] can be entered on study). Subjects with moderate valvular thickening should not be entered on study.
• Uncorrectable electrolyte abnormalities (e.g. hypokalaemia, hypomagnesaemia, hypocalcaemia determined by blood chemistry), long QT syndrome or taking medicinal products known to prolong the QT interval.
• A history of retinal vein occlusion (RVO)
• History of interstitial lung disease or pneumonitis.
• History of HIV infection.
• History of Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), or Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection.
• Subjects with laboratory evidence of cleared HBV and/or HCV will be permitted, which defined as HBs antigen negative and HBV Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) negative; and HCV antibody is negative.

Dabrafenib and Trametinib

Experimental group

Description:

Subject will be assigned in 2 cohorts, in cohort A, subjects will be administered dabrafenib (150 mg BID) monotherapy from Day1 to Day 21 (first part), followed by dabrafenib (150 mg BID) and trametinib (2mg QD) combination (second part, starting from day 22). After the last subject in cohort A has finished the last pharmacokinetic sampling(1st part ), another 10 subjects will be enrolled in cohort B with administration of dabrafenib (150 mg BID) in combination with oral trametinib (2mg QD).
