About this study

Official title: Phase 1/2 Study Epigenetic Modification of BRAF-mutated Metastatic Melanoma: Treatment of a Resistant Disease Using Decitabine Combined With Vemurafenib Plus Cobimetinib

The purpose of this study is to see if the combination of Vemurafenib with Decitabine plus Cobimetinib improves the low therapy response rate in subjects with malignant melanoma.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of the Phase I portion of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the proposed schedule of decitabine and Vemurafenib plus Cobimetinib in the treatment of metastatic melanoma.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Vemurafenib + Cobimetinib, DecitabineDrug

    Also called ZELBORAF (Vemurafenib), DACOGEN (Decitabine)

Study groups in NCT01876641
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Study TreatmentExperimentalIn Cohorts 1-4, a subcutaneous dose of decitabine will be administered three times/week over a 2 week period. Cohorts 5 and 6 will receive decitabine two times a week for 8 weeks and Cohorts 7 and 8 will receive decitabine three times a week for 8 weeks. Patients will start treatment with decitabine initially at the cohort in which they enter the study. Patients will remain in the cohort in which they were initially enrolled for the entire treatment course. Vemurafenib + Cobimetinib will be given continuously for subjects in Cohorts 5, 6, 7 and 8. Vemurafenib will be given on a 28-day cycle at the standard dose of 960 mg p.o. BID. Cobimetinib will be given on a 21-day cycle with a 7-day rest between cycles. Decitabine will be given for 2 cycles only. Each cycle will be 28 days long. Vemurafenib + Cobimetinib will be continued indefinitely until disease progression.
Receives: Drug: Vemurafenib + Cobimetinib, Decitabine

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Dose-limiting toxicities per CTCAE 4.0

    Toxicity will be assessed using the NIH-NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 4.0 (CTCAEv4). Toxicity will be decided after administration of one full cycle for patients.

    Measured: From Day 1 - 28 of a 28 day cycle

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Vemurafenib + Cobimetinib, Decitabine in people with Metastatic Melanoma and Melanoma, run by Mohammed M Milhem at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Sep 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Loss of funding). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Dose-limiting toxicities per CTCAE 4.0 (time frame: From Day 1 - 28 of a 28 day cycle). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Sep 2018.
