Description:
This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the
efficacy and safety of vemurafenib in participants with completely resected, cutaneous BRAF
mutation-positive melanoma at high risk for recurrence. Participants will be enrolled in two
separate cohorts: Cohort 1 will include participants with completely resected Stage IIC, IIIA
(participants with one or more nodal metastasis greater than [>] 1 millimeter [mm] in
diameter), or IIIB cutaneous melanoma, as defined by the American Joint Committee on Cancer
(AJCC) Classification, Version 7; Cohort 2 will include participants with Stage IIIC
cutaneous melanoma, as defined by this classification scheme. Within each cohort,
participants will be randomized (1:1 ratio) to receive vemurafenib or matching placebo over a
52-week period.

Primary Outcome Measures
Measure: | Disease-Free Survival (DFS) as Assessed Using Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) or Contrast Enhanced Computed Tomography (CT) |
Time Frame: | From randomization until the date of the first local, regional, or distant melanoma recurrence, occurrence of new primary melanoma, or death from any cause (up to the April 17, 2017 data cut-off, approximately 4.5 years) |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | DFS was defined as the time from randomization until the date of the first local, regional, or distant melanoma recurrence, occurrence of new primary melanoma, or death from any cause. |
Secondary Outcome Measures
Measure: | Distant Metastasis-Free Survival (DMFS) as Assessed Using Contrast-Enhanced MRI or Contrast Enhanced CT |
Time Frame: | From randomization until the date of diagnosis of distant (i.e., non-locoregional) metastases or death from any cause (up to the April 17, 2017 data cut-off, approximately 4.5 years) |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | DMFS was defined as the time from randomization until the date of diagnosis of distant (i.e. non-locoregional) metastases or death from any cause. |
Measure: | Overall Survival (OS) |
Time Frame: | From randomization until the date of death from any cause (up until 13-July-2018, approximately 6 years) |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | OS is defined as the time from randomization until the date of death from any cause. |
Measure: | Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events |
Time Frame: | From randomization up to study completion or discontinuation (up until 13-July-2018, approximately 6 years) |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product, regardless of causal attribution. |
Measure: | Change From Baseline in European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) 30-Item Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ-C30) Score |
Time Frame: | Day 1, Day 8, Day 15, Day 22 of Cycle 1;Day 1, Day 15 of Cycle 2;Day 1 Cycles 3-13;end of treatment(up to 13 months);every 13 weeks thereafter until recurrence or occurrence of a new primary melanoma (up to 17-Apr-17 data cut-off,approximately 4.5 years) |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer 30-Item Quality of Life Questionnaire assesses 8 symptoms, function, financial difficulties, and a global health status/health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Most questions use a 4-point scale (1 'Not at all' to 4 'Very much';2 questions use a 7-point scale (1 'very poor' to 7 'Excellent'). Scores were averaged and transformed to a 0-100 scale. Higher scores for the function and HRQoL represent higher levels of functioning and HRQoL, higher scores for the symptom represent higher levels of symptoms/problems, higher score for financial difficulty represent higher level of perceived financial burden of treatment. Changes of 5-10 points are considered to represent a minimally important difference to participants. A positive value means an increase, and negative value means a decrease in score at the indicated time-point relative to the score at baseline (Cycle 1 Day 1). |
Measure: | Plasma Concentration of Vemurafenib |
Time Frame: | Pre-morning dose (0 hour [hr]) and 1 to 4 hrs post-dose on Days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of Cycle 1; pre-morning dose (0 hr) on Days 1 and 15 of Cycle 2; pre-morning dose (0 hr) on Day 1 of Cycles 3-13; at end of treatment (up to 13 months) |
