Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43861   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    This was a Phase III randomized, open-label study to compare GSK2118436 to Dacarbazine (DTIC) in previously untreated participants (par.) with BRAF mutation positive advanced (Stage III) or metastatic (Stage IV) melanoma. This study was conducted at 70 centers in 12 countries.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    The study has 2 phases: Randomized and Crossover Phase. In Randomized Phase, a total of 250 par. were randomized in 3:1 to receive either oral dabrafenib 150 mg twice daily (BID) or intravenous DTIC 1000 milligram/meter square. Par. in DTIC arm with disease progression were considered for crossover to dabrafenib arm in Crossover Phase

    Arm description
    Participants (par.) were randomly assigned to receive oral GSK2118436 150 milligrams (mg) twice a day (BID). Dose reductions were permitted based on the severity of the hematological toxicity. Stopping recommendations for study treatment were also provided for cases of reoccurring skin toxicity, cardiovascular complication or abnormalities, and liver abnormalities. Participants continued on treatment until disease progression (DP), death, the occurrence of an unacceptable adverse event (AE), or withdrawal from the study. Participants who experienced investigator-reported DP but were benefitting from study treatment were permitted to continue GSK2118436 treatment upon approval of the GlaxoSmithKline Medical Monitor.

    DTIC 1000 mg/m^2 in RP; GSK2118436 in Crossover Phase
    Arm description
    In the RP, par. received intravenous (IV) Dacarbazine (DTIC) 1000 mg per meters squared (mg/m^2) every 3 weeks. Dose reductions were permitted based on the severity of the hematological toxicity. Stopping recommendations for study treatment were also provided for cases of reoccurring skin toxicity, cardiovascular complication or abnormalities, and liver abnormalities. Par. continued on treatment until DP, death, the occurrence of an unacceptable AE, or withdrawal from the study. Par. who received DTIC in the RP and experienced DP had the option, at the discretion of the Investigator, of receiving GSK2118436 150 mg BID in the Crossover Phase. Par. who permanently discontinued DTIC treatment due to an AE, withdrawal of consent, or for any reason other than DP were not eligible for crossover to GSK2118436. Crossover par. continued on GSK2118436 until further DP was noted. After DP on GSK2118436, par. were followed for response, progression, survival, and further anti-cancer therapy.

    Progression-free Survival (PFS) as assessed by the Investigator [1]
    End point description
    PFS is defined as the interval of time between the date of randomization and the earlier of the date of disease progression or the date of death due to any cause. Disease progression was based on radiographic or photographic evidence, and assessments were made by the investigator according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. PD is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as a reference, the smallest sum of diameters recorded since the treatment started (e.g., percent change from nadir, where nadir is defined as the smallest sum of diameters recorded since treatment start). In addition, the sum must have an absolute increase from nadir of 5 millimeters (mm). For participants who did not progress or die,PFS was censored at the date of last contact. Data are presented as median and 96% confidence interval.Intent-to-Treat (ITT) Population: all randomized participants whether or not treatment was administered

    GSK2118436 150 mg BID
    Reporting group description
    Participants were randomly assigned to receive oral GSK2118436 150 mg BID. Dose reductions were permitted based on the severity of the hematological toxicity. Stopping recommendations for study treatment were also provided for cases of reoccurring skin toxicity, cardiovascular complication or abnormalities, and liver abnormalities. Participants continued on treatment until DP, death, the occurrence of an unacceptable AE, or withdrawal from the study. Participants who experienced investigator-reported DP but were benefitting from study treatment were permitted to continue GSK2118436 treatment upon approval of the GlaxoSmithKline Medical Monitor.

    Reporting group title
    DTIC 1000 mg/m^2 in RP
    Reporting group description
    In the RP, participants received IV DTIC 1000 mg/m^2 every 3 weeks. Dose reductions were permitted based on the severity of the hematological toxicity. Stopping recommendations for study treatment were also provided for cases of reoccurring skin toxicity, cardiovascular complication or abnormalities, and liver abnormalities. Participants continued on treatment until DP, death, the occurrence of an unacceptable AE, or withdrawal from the study.

    Reporting group title
    GSK25118436 in the Crossover Phase
    Reporting group description
    Participants who received DTIC in the RP and experienced DP had the option, at the discretion of the Investigator, of receiving GSK2118436 150 mg BID in the Crossover Phase. Participants who permanently discontinued DTIC treatment due to an AE, withdrawal of consent, or for any reason other than DP were not eligible for crossover to GSK2118436. Crossover participants continued on GSK2118436 until further DP was noted. After DP on GSK2118436, participants were followed for response, progression, survival, and further anti-cancer therapy.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    03 Nov 2010
    Amendment No. 01: This amendment modified the contraception section based upon additional non-clinical toxicology results; added a computed tomography scan for respiratory symptoms within the dose modification guidelines table corrected typographical errors in the statistics section; added assessment of secondary malignancies to the secondary safety objectives; added evaluation of Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) parameters for participants who crossover to dabrafenib from randomized treatment with DTIC following initial progression; and changed the collection requirements for a Circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) sample at progression from optional to mandatory.
    04 Mar 2011
    Amendment No. 02: It was a country specific amendment for France to modify the QTc stopping criteria in response to a request from the French regulatory agency, AFSSAPS
    23 Mar 2011
    Amendment No. 03: This amendment added the collection of serial pharmacokinetics (PK) samples in a subset of participants to further characterize final dabrafenib formulation; clarified crossover eligibility criteria; included administrative corrections to Time and Events tables and specifically clarified timing of assessments; modified the tumor tissue requirements to allow primary tissue for screening; clarified QOL time points and modified data collection instructions to allow 1 questionnaire to be completed via phone; and added best ORR as a secondary efficacy objective.
    03 Jun 2011
    Amendment No. 04: This amendment updated the dose monitoring and management guidelines for neutropenia and fever based on emerging safety data from other ongoing dabrafenib studies; added wording to allow the collection of non-melanoma skin biopsy slides and pathology reports; changed the collection of full body skin photos at baseline from required to recommended; clarified the Safety and QOL endpoints; added wording to recommend PK collection for all serious adverse events; included administrative corrections and added a Day 8 absolute neutrophil count. Dexamethasone was added to the cautionary medications section.
    14 Nov 2011
    Amendment No. 05: This amendment added a treatment option that allowed participants with investigator reported disease progression who were still benefitting from study treatment with dabrafenib to continue study drug. Also added new guidelines for the management of renal insufficiency and new criteria for dose modifications related to grade 3 toxicities.
    20 Apr 2012
    Amendment No. 06: The results of the planned primary analysis confirmed that the primary endpoint of improved progression free survival in the dabrafenib (dabrafenib arm) was achieved. The data was reviewed with the IDMC and the committee unanimously recommended that participants who were randomized to the DTIC arm of the study be allowed the option to receive dabrafenib prior to disease progression based on the judgment of the investigator. Independent review confirmation of disease progression will no longer be prior to crossover. The crossover rules were updated. Time and Events Table 13 was updated with requirement for re-establishing efficacy and safety baseline measures within 28 days of first dose of dabrafenib and QOL requirement at crossover was clarified. Statistics section updated to reflect the new analyses plans and to address multiple testing issues. Wording was modified in the safety section to clarify intent in the collection of events of pyrexia and basal cell carcinoma.
    19 Feb 2014
    Amendment No. 07: Major updates include changes to secondary objectives and study design; study closure at 70% of deaths was removed and updated to follow participants to estimate long-term OS (particularly 5 years in treatment groups). Definition to permanent discontinuation was updated to clarify that all participants were to be followed to death or until lost to follow up. Study completion was changed to collect long-term (5 years), overall survival. The other key changes include updates to Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESIs) and dose modification to reflect latest label language: Dose Modification Guidelines for AESI are updated; Neutropenia was removed from the list; QTc updated to align with French Guidelines for reporting; Liver chemistry monitoring, management and restarting treatment conditions were updated; Secondary analysis updated to reflect long-term OS estimates; Appendix added for French specific skin monitoring guidelines.
