Trial summary

BRAF V600-mutant metastatic melanoma are commonly treated using a combination of anti-BRAF and anti-MEK tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). The OPTIMEL trial aims to study the interest of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of TKIs and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) detected in plasma of patients with metastatic melanoma… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Therapeutic Drug Monitoring of Kinase Inhibitors and Study of Circulating Tumor DNA in Patients With Mutated BRAF Metastatic Cutaneous Melanoma and Treated With Anti-BRAF and Anti-MEK Kinase Inhibitors

BRAF V600-mutant metastatic melanoma are commonly treated using a combination of anti-BRAF and anti-MEK tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). The OPTIMEL trial aims to study the interest of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of TKIs and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) detected in plasma of patients with metastatic melanoma for disease monitoring. 35 patients with metastatic melanoma and treated with dabrafenib and trametinib will be enrolled in this trial. Blood samples will be collected for the determination of TKIs concentration and ctDNA detection.

What participants receive

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

  • Blood samplingOther

    2x10 ml of patient peripherical blood will be collected at D0, D15, D30, D90, D180, D270 and with progression or at the end of the follow-up at the 12th month.

What is being measured

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

  1. Link between the presence of circulating tumor DNA and plasma concentrations of kinase inhibitors n patient with advanced BRAF(V600) mutated melanoma

    ctDNA in patient with advanced BRAF(V600) mutated melanoma is estimated by the ratio of the Ct of the sample to the control. Plasma concentrations of anti-BRAF and anti-MEK tyrosine kinase inhibitors are expressed in μg / mL

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Blood sampling in people with Melanoma (Skin), run by Institut de Cancérologie de Lorraine at 4 sites in France.

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 9 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Aug 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in France. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Link between the presence of circulating tumor DNA and plasma concentrations of kinase inhibitors n patient with advanced BRAF(V600) mutated melanoma (time frame: 1 day). 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 4 Aug 2023.
