Description:
Substudy 02D is part of a larger research study that is testing experimental treatments for
melanoma, a type of skin cancer. The larger study is the umbrella study.
The goal of substudy 02D is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of investigational treatment
arms in programmed cell-death 1 (PD-1) naïve or PD-1 exposed participants with melanoma brain
metastasis (MBM) and to identify the investigational agent(s) that, when used in combination,
are superior to the current treatment options/historical control available.

Maximum Eligible Age: | 120 Years |
Minimum Eligible Age: | 18 Years |
Eligible Gender: | All |
Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Primary Outcome Measures
Measure: | Percentage of participants who experience an adverse event (AE) |
Time Frame: | Up to ~28 months |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. The percentage of participants who experience an AE will be reported. |
Secondary Outcome Measures
Measure: | Duration of Response (DOR) per RECIST 1.1 |
Time Frame: | Up to ~30 months |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | For participants in the analysis population who demonstrate a confirmed CR (disappearance of all target lesions) or confirmed PR (≥30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters), DOR is defined as the time from first documented CR or PR until progressive disease (PD) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Per RECIST 1.1, PD is defined as ≥20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of ≥5 mm. The appearance of ≥1 new lesion is also considered PD. Responses are according to RECIST 1.1 as assessed by BICR. RECIST 1.1 has been modified for this study to include a maximum of 10 target lesions and a maximum of 5 target lesions per organ. |
Measure: | Brain metastasis response rate (BMRR) per Response Assessment in Neuro- Oncology Brain Metastases (RANO-BM) |
Time Frame: | Up to ~30 months |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | BMRR is defined as the percentage of participants in the analysis population who achieve a confirmed intracranial CR (disappearance of all lesions, no usage of corticosteroids and stable or improved clinical status) or PR (≥30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters, no progression of non-target lesions or new lesions, stable or decreased corticosteroid use, or stable or improved clinical status). Responses are according to RANO-BM as assessed by BICR. RANO-BM uses a combination of RECIST 1.1 and clinical data to assess response to treatment in brain metastases. |
Measure: | Brain metastasis duration of response (BM-DOR) per RANO-BM |
Time Frame: | Up to ~30 months |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | For participants in the analysis population who demonstrate a confirmed intracranial CR (disappearance of all lesions, no usage of corticosteroids, stable or improved clinical status) or PR (≥30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters, no progression of non-target lesions or new lesions, stable or decreased corticosteroid use, or stable or improved clinical status), DOR is defined as the time from first documented CR or PR until PD or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Per RANO-BM, PD is defined as ≥20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions and an absolute increase of ≥5 mm in ≥1 lesion. Unequivocal increase in non-target lesions, the appearance of ≥1 new lesion or worsening of clinical status is also considered PD. Responses are according to RANO-BM as assessed by BICR. RANO-BM uses a combination of RECIST 1.1 and clinical data to assess response to treatment in brain metastases. |
Measure: | Progression-free survival (PFS) per RECIST 1.1 |
Time Frame: | Up to ~30 months |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented PD or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Per RECIST 1.1, PD is defined as ≥20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of ≥5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered PD. Responses are according to RECIST 1.1 as assessed by BICR. RECIST 1.1 has been modified for this study to include a maximum of 10 target lesions and a maximum of 5 target lesions per organ. |
