Nivolumab With Trametinib and Dabrafenib, or Encorafenib and Binimetinib in Treating Patients With BRAF Mutated Metastatic or Unresectable Stage III-IV Melanoma

NCT02910700

Description:

This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well nivolumab with trametinib and dabrafenib, or encorafenib and binimetinib work in treating patients with BRAF-mutated stage III-IV melanoma that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may induce changes in the body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Trametinib, dabrafenib, encorafenib, and binimetinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known if nivolumab with trametinib and dabrafenib, or encorafenib and binimetinib may work better in treating patients with BRAF-mutated melanoma.

Detailed Description

      PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

      I. To determine the safety, tolerability, and efficacy (objective response rates by Response
      Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST] 1.1) of nivolumab in combination with dabrafenib
      and trametinib or encorafenib and binimetinib in patients with BRAF-mutated metastatic
      melanoma.

      SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. Safety and tolerability of the nivolumab, dabrafenib, and trametinib triplet combination
      (NDT).

      II. Safety and tolerability of the nivolumab, binimetinib and encorafenib . III. Efficacy of
      the combination as measured by the depth and duration of response by RECIST 1.1 and modified
      RECIST 1.1 (to include intracranial response).

      IV. Pharmacodynamic evaluation of combination on circulating markers (immune monitoring).

      V. Pharmacodynamic evaluation of combination on tumor tissues. VI. Progression- free survival
      and overall survival

      OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to 1 of 3 arms.

      ARM A (NDT, CLOSED): Patients receive nivolumab intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes on day 1,
      dabrafenib orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-28, and trametinib PO once daily (QD) on
      days 1-28. Cycles repeats every 28 days for up to 3 years in the absence of disease
      progression or unacceptable toxicity.

      ARM B (NT, CLOSED TO ACCRUAL): Patients receive nivolumab IV over 30 minutes on day 1 and 15,
      and trametinib PO QD on days 1-28. Cycles repeats every 28 days for up to 3 years in the
      absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

      ARM C (NEB): Patients receive nivolumab IV over 30 minutes on day 1 and 15, encorafenib PO QD
      on days 1-28, and binimetinib PO BID on days 1-28. Cycles repeats every 28 days for up to 3
      years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

      After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days then every 3 months
      for up to 3 years.

             acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS); HIV-positive patients on combination
             antiretroviral therapy are ineligible because of the potential for pharmacokinetic
             interactions with dabrafenib and trametinib; in addition, these patients are at
             increased risk of lethal infections when treated with marrow-suppressive therapy;

             should also be excluded

          -  Patients who have had chemotherapy or radiotherapy within 2 weeks (6 weeks for
             nitrosoureas or mitomycin C) prior to entering the study or those who have not

             not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure,
             unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations
             that would limit compliance with study requirements

          -  Pregnant and/or breastfeeding women are excluded from this study; because there is an
             unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to
             treatment of the mother with nivolumab, dabrafenib, and trametinib, breastfeeding
             should be discontinued if the mother is treated with nivolumab, dabrafenib, and
             trametinib; these potential risks may also apply to other agents used in this study
