Trial overview

Official title: Systematic review and quantitative analysis of dabrafenib and trametinib therapies in the treatment of metastatic malignant melanoma
Trial description: In order to meet the requirements of reimbursement agencies there is a need to perform a systematic review and quantitative analysis of any new drug treatments compared to current treatments being used in that particular indication/setting. The objective of this study is to undertake a systematic literature review of the medical literature (randomized and non-randomized controlled studies), including quantitative analysis (indirect/mixed treatment comparisons where feasible), of relevant clinical outcomes of BRAF inhibitor (dabrafenib) and MEK inhibitor (trametinib) versus other treatments used for BRAF+ advanced or metastatic melanoma (e.g. dacarbazine, ipilimumab , vemurafenib)
The study design was a systematic literature review.
The data source for this study includes the results of published studies in the medical literature. The study designs of interest to this review are randomized controlled trials (RCTs), non-randomized controlled trials (non-RCTs), single-arm studies, and observational studies.

Accepts healthy volunteers
none
  • Adult subjects of any race and gender.
  • Subjects with advanced or metastatic malignant melanoma (MMM)
  • Studies enrolling children or adolescents
  • Subjects with other types of skin cancers (non-melanoma skin cancers) such as basal cell and squamous cell cancers, Kaposi sarcoma, and lymphoma of the skin
Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria:
  • Adult subjects of any race and gender.
  • Subjects with advanced or metastatic malignant melanoma (MMM)
  • Studies which enroll a mixed population of MMM and other skin cancers will only be included if there is a subgroup analysis on the MMM patient population.
  • Only subjects with unresectable advanced or metastatic malignant melanoma (stage III or IV) will be included in the review.
  • Studies which enroll a mixed population of stage I, II, III, and IV melanoma will only be included if there is a sub-group analysis on the stage III or IV patient population.
  • The line of therapy will be applicable only for metastatic disease stage.
  • Subjects who are either treatment naïve or have received up to one line of prior therapy for metastatic melanoma (receiving either first-line or second-line therapy in the trial setting) will be considered in this review. Included studies will be classified according to line of therapy during the screening of the full publication.
  • This systematic review will focus on pharmacological treatments for metastatic melanoma.
  • The review will include studies that assess the use of approved interventions or investigational therapies (dabrafenib and trametinib) for the treatment of metastatic melanoma.
  • A list of interventions of interest to this review includes dabrafenib, trametinib, ipilimumab, vemurafenib, dacarbazine, and fotemustine.
  • Comparators
  • The study must compare one of the included interventions to one of the following comparators: another included intervention (i.e. head-to-head trials of included interventions), placebo/best supportive care, any chemotherapy/immunotherapy
  • Only studies with the full-text in English will be included.
  • In order to get the evidence from all the available data, all studies meeting the inclusion criteria irrespective of publication date will be included
Exclusion criteria:
  • Studies enrolling children or adolescents
  • Subjects with other types of skin cancers (non-melanoma skin cancers) such as basal cell and squamous cell cancers, Kaposi sarcoma, and lymphoma of the skin
  • Subjects with stage I or stage II melanoma
  • Studies assessing subjects receiving further line of therapies i.e. third or further line for the treatment of advanced or metastatic melanoma in the trial
  • Studies with an English abstract where the full-text is non-English
  • Pharmacokinetic studies
  • Studies which do not provide subgroup data for the population of interest
