A study comparing GSK2118436 to Dacarbazine (DTIC) in previously untreated subjects with BRAF mutation positive advanced (Stage III) or metastatic (Stage IV) melanoma
Trial overview
Progression-free Survival (PFS) as assessed by the Investigator
Timeframe: Time interval between the date of randomization and the earlier of the date of disease progression or the date of death due to any cause (up to 9.9 months)
Progression-free Survival (PFS) as assessed by an Independent Radiologist: Randomized Phase
Timeframe: Time interval between the date of randomization and the earlier of the date of disease progression or the date of death due to any cause (up to 9.9 months)
Overall survival
Timeframe: Time interval between the date of randomization and the date of death due to any cause (up to 22.1 months)
Number of participants with a best overall response of confirmed complete response (CR) or confirmed partial response (PR) as assessed by the Investigator: Randomized Phase
Timeframe: From randomization until the first documented evidence of a confirmed complete response or partial response (median of 6.6 weeks)
Number of participants with a best overall response of confirmed CR or PR as assessed by an Independent Radiologist: Randomized Phase
Timeframe: From randomization until the first documented evidence of a confirmed complete response or partial response (median of 12.0 weeks)
Duration of Response as assessed by the Investigator: Randomized Phase
Timeframe: Time from the first documented evidence of PR or CR until the first documented sign of disease progression or death due to any cause (up to 65.6 weeks)
Duration of Response as assessed by an Independent Radiologist: Randomized Phase
Timeframe: Time from the first documented evidence of PR or CR until the first documented sign of disease progression or death due to any cause (up to 7.4 months)
Progression-free Survival (PFS2) as assessed by the Investigator: Crossover Phase
Timeframe: Time from first dose of GSK2118436 in participants who crossover after initial progression to the earliest date of radiographical or photographical PD or death due to any cause (up to 6.4 months)
Number of participants with a best overall response of confirmed complete response (CR) or confirmed partial response (PR) as assessed by the Investigator: Crossover Phase
Timeframe: From randomization until the first documented evidence of a confirmed complete response or partial response (up to 6.4 months)
Duration of Response as assessed by the Investigator: Crossover Phase
Timeframe: Time from the first documented evidence of PR or CR until the first documented sign of disease progression or death due to any cause (up to 6.4 months)
Number of participants with non-melanoma skin lesions: Randomized Phase
Timeframe: From Screening until study completion or discontinuation from the study (up to 9.9 months)
Agreement rate for V600E mutation validation of the BRAF mutation assay
Timeframe: Screening
- Adults at least 18 years of age
 - Has advanced (unresectable Stage III) or metastatic (Stage IV) melanoma that is BRAF mutation positive (V600E)
 
- Currently receiving cancer therapy (chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, biologic therapy or surgery).
 - Evidence of active central nervous system (CNS) disease.
 
- Adults at least 18 years of age
 - Has advanced (unresectable Stage III) or metastatic (Stage IV) melanoma that is BRAF mutation positive (V600E)
 - Is treatment naive for advanced (unresectable) or metastatic melanoma, with the exception of Interleukin 2 (IL-2) which is allowed.
 - Has measurable disease according to RECIST 1.1 criteria.
 - Women of child-bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test within 14 days prior to the first dose of study treatment.
 - Women with reproductive potential must be willing to practice acceptable methods of birth control during the study and for up to 4 weeks after the last dose of study medication.
 - Men with reproductive potential must be willing to practice acceptable methods of birth control during the study and for up to 16 weeks after the last dose of study medication.
 - Must have adequate organ function.

- Currently receiving cancer therapy (chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, biologic therapy or surgery).
 - Evidence of active central nervous system (CNS) disease.
 - Previous treatment for metastatic melanoma, including treatment with BRAF or MEK inhibitor.
 - A history of other malignancy. Subjects who have been disease-free for 5 years or subjects with a history of complete resected non-melanoma skin cancer or successfully treated in situ carcinoma are eligible.
 - History of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection.
 - Certain cardiac abnormalities
