Efficacy and Safety of the Combination Therapy of Dabrafenib and Trametinib in Subjects With BRAF V600E- Mutated Rare Cancers

NCT02034110

Description:

This is a Phase II, open-label, non-randomized, multi-center study of oral Dabrafenib in combination with oral Trametinib in subjects with rare cancers including anaplastic thyroid cancer, biliary tract cancer, gastrointestinal stromal tumor, non-seminomatous germ cell tumor/non-geminomatous germ cell tumor, hairy cell leukemia, World Health Organization (WHO) Grade 1 or 2 glioma, WHO Grade 3 or 4 (high-grade) glioma, multiple myeloma, and adenocarcinoma of the small intestine, with BRAF V600E positive-mutations. This study is 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 will need 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 will be eligible for enrollment. Subjects will undergo 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.

NameTypeDescriptionInterventions
Dabrafenib + TrametinibExperimentalSubjects will receive Dabrafenib 150 mg twice daily orally plus Trametinib 2 mg once daily orally on a continuous basis. Dabrafenib will be 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 will be administered under fasted conditions, either 1 hr before or 2 hrs after a meal with approximately 200 mL of water. Subjects will take their dose of Trametinib concurrently with the morning dose of Dabrafenib. A treatment cycle is 28 days in duration. Subjects will continue treatment until an unacceptable toxicity, disease progression, or death occurs.
