Description:
This is a phase 1 dose-escalation study of nilotinib in combination with fixed-dose
dabrafenib and trametinib regimen for patients with metastatic or unresectable melanoma
carrying a BRAF V600 mutation and have relapsed on a BRAF/MEK inhibitor therapy. The goal is
to assess the toxicity and tolerability and determine the maximum tolerated dose
(MTD)/recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of the combination of nilotinib with dabrafenib and
trametinib. Additionally, this study will assess pharmacokinetic parameters of dabrafenib and
nilotinib when used in combination.

Purpose
This is a phase 1 dose-escalation study of nilotinib in combination with fixed-dose
dabrafenib and trametinib regimen for patients with metastatic or unresectable melanoma
carrying a BRAF V600 mutation and have relapsed on a BRAF/MEK inhibitor therapy. The goal is
to assess the toxicity and tolerability and determine the maximum tolerated dose
(MTD)/recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of the combination of nilotinib with dabrafenib and
trametinib. Additionally, this study will assess pharmacokinetic parameters of dabrafenib and
nilotinib when used in combination.
Detailed Description
This is a phase 1 dose-escalation study of nilotinib in combination with a fixed-dose of
dabrafenib and trametinib. The first week, patients will be treated with dabrafenib (150mg,
twice daily) and trametinib (2mg, once daily). After 7 days, when both drugs have achieved
steady-state levels and there is maximal induction of CYP3A4, nilotinib will be added, and
all three drugs dosed concurrently for the rest of the study. Plasma pharmacokinetic (PKs)
samples for dabrafenib and nilotinib will be obtained at baseline, weekly for the first four
weeks, and at regular study visits for the duration of the trial. Tissue core biopsies and
correlative plasma samples will be obtained at baseline, and 2 weeks after the start of
nilotinib.

Primary Outcome Measures
Measure: | Percentage of Patients Experiencing Dose Limiting Toxicities |
Time Frame: | 28 days |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | Percentage of patients who experienced dose-limiting toxicities associated with Nilotinib as defined by the study protocol. |
Secondary Outcome Measures
Measure: | Dose-Adjusted Steady State Concentration of Dabrafenib |
Time Frame: | 15 days |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | The dose-adjusted steady state concentrations (Css) of dabrafenib will be calculated on day 8 (dabrafenib alone) compared to day 15 (dabrafenib + nilotinib). |
Measure: | Change in Nilotinib Concentration |
Time Frame: | 1 month |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | Plasma concentrations of Nilotinib will be measured on day 8 (pre-Nilotinib) and day 29. |
Measure: | Duration of Response |
Time Frame: | 12 months |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | Duration of overall response will be determined by the time measurement criteria are met for complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) - whichever is first recorded - until the first date that recurrent or progressive disease is objectively documented. |
