Description:
The main purpose is to evaluate the clinical response, safety and survival of the FDA
approved drugs Dabrafenib, Trametinib in combination with Metformin. Investigators
hypothesize that the combination of an FDA approved non toxic dose of oral Metformin with the
B-Raf inhibitor, Dabrafenib and the MEK inhibitor, Trametinib will yield little toxicity and
improve clinical outcomes in terms of objective response rates and survival in metastatic
melanoma patients.

Detailed Description
The study will be a single-arm, single center, uncontrolled phase I/II trial to estimate the
safety of the combined treatments and then estimate the efficacy in terms of objective
response rate in patients with stage IIIC and Stage IV melanoma treated with
dabrafenib/trametinib and metformin.

to performing any study related procedures
Exclusion Criteria:
- Prior treatment with Vemurafenib or Dabrafenib
- Known hypersensitivity to Metformin or any of its components
- Received radiotherapy for non CNS disease within the 2 weeks prior to commencing study
treatment or have not recovered from side effects of all radiation related toxicities
to Grade < 1, except for alopecia
- Pregnant, breast feeding, or refusing double barrier contraception, oral
contraceptives, or avoidance of pregnancy measures
- Have any other uncontrolled infection or medical condition that could interfere with
the conduct of the study
Maximum Eligible Age: | N/A |
Minimum Eligible Age: | 18 Years |
Eligible Gender: | All |
Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Primary Outcome Measures
Measure: | Observation of two CTCAE drug related grade 4 toxicities in six patients. |
Time Frame: | Duration of phase I portion, approxiately 6 months |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | During phase I, six patients will be enrolled and monitored for toxicities. If drug related deaths occur or more than two drug related CTCAE grade 4 toxicities occur the trial will be suspended. Phase II will estimate the efficacy of the drugs, enrolling 20 patients during stage 1 with an upper limit of 39 for the 2nd stage. |
Secondary Outcome Measures
Measure: | To estimate the overall survival rates. |
Time Frame: | Approximately 3 years |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | Patients will be contacted every 3 months following treatment administration for up to three years to obtain survival data. |
Measure: | To explore the effect of other covariates on overall survival |
Time Frame: | 3 years |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | To identify demographic, disease and treatment related effects on overall survival. |
