Study of Dabrafenib +/- Trametinib in Combination With Ipilimumab for V600E/K Mutation Positive Metastatic or Unresectable Melanoma

NCT01767454

Description:

This is an open-label, multi-center, dose-finding Phase 1 study that will enroll subjects at least 18 years old with unresectable or metastatic melanoma and BRAF V600 mutations. The primary objective of the study is to describe the safety for the doublet therapy (dabrafenib and ipilimumab) and the triplet therapy (dabrafenib/trametinib and ipilimumab). Preliminary efficacy data will also be collected. Subjects will be assigned to receive either the doublet combination (dabrafenib and ipilimumab) or the triplet combination (dabrafenib, trametinib, and ipilimumab). Subjects will be enrolled to dose-finding cohorts in the doublet combination (dabrafenib + ipilimumab) in a sequential 3+3 fashion. Following establishment of a dose for the doublet combination, an expansion cohort will be opened. At the same time, enrollment to dose finding cohorts for the triplet combination (dabrafenib + trametinib + ipilimumab) will begin in a sequential 6+6 fashion. Enrollment into triplet cohorts will take priority when both the doublet expansion arm and the triplet dose-finding arm are open for enrollment at the same time. Approximately 9-24 subjects will be enrolled to the dose finding portion of the study. Approximately 30 subjects will be enrolled to doublet expansion cohort and 30 subjects will be enrolled in the triplet expansion cohort. A two-week run-in period without ipilimumab will be followed by 4 intravenous doses of ipilimumab at the recommended dose and schedule. Oral daily dosing of dabrafenib or dabrafenib + trametinib will continue from the two-week run-in, through combination with ipilimumab, and post-ipilimumab until no longer of clinical benefit, in the opinion of the treating physician, or until unacceptable AE or death

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure:Number of subjects with AEs and changes in laboratory values, vital signs, and physical examinations to determine a recommended dose for dabrafenib +/- trametinib when administered in combination with ipilimumab
Time Frame:Up to approximately Week 9 in doublet and triplet arm
Safety Issue:
Description:All subjects will be evaluated for dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) from the first dose of ipilimumab until 1 week after the third dose of ipilimumab to determine a recommended dose for dabrafenib +/- trametinib when administered in combination with ipilimumab
Measure:Overall response rate
Time Frame:Follow-up up to 6 months after last subject last dose
Safety Issue:
Description:Overall Response will be determined using Modified immune-related response criteria (irRC)
Measure:Concentrations of trametinib, dabrafenib and its metabolites (GSK2285403, GSK2298683, and GSK2167542) in the triplet arm and dabrafenib and its metabolites in the doublet arm
Time Frame:Day 15 (pre-dose,1, 2, and 4 hours post-dose); Day 36 and Day 57 (pre-dose only) for doublet and triplet arms
Safety Issue:
Description:Four blood samples will be collected on the day of first dose of ipilimumab (Cycle 1) - Study Day 15. One blood sample will be obtained on the day of the second and third dose of ipilimumab (Cycles 2 and 3) - Study Days 36 and 57. Subjects will be instructed to withhold their morning dose until after they arrive at the clinic. Ipilimumab infusion should start as soon as possible after oral dosing of dabrafenib/trametinib. PK samples have a +/-30 minute window for collection.
