Purpose

NameTypeDescriptionInterventions
Investigational treatment armExperimentalPart 1: Safety run-in Up to 18 evaluable patients with previously untreated unresectable or metastatic BRAF V600 mutated melanoma will be enrolled and treated at different dose levels to determine the recommended Phase 3 regimen of PDR001 in combination with dabrafenib and trametinib. Part 2: Biomarker cohort Approximately 20 patients with previously unresectable or metastatic BRAF V600 mutated melanoma will be enrolled to describe changes in the immune microenvironment and biomarker modulations Part 3: Randomized double blind Approximately 500 patients with previously untreated unresectable and metastatic BRAF V600 mutated melanoma will be enrolled to compare the anti-tumor activity of PDR001 in combination with dabrafenib and trametinib versus placebo plus dabrafenib and trametinib.
