E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objectives of this study are: • To assess the ORR (complete response + partial response [CR + PR]) of E7080 in subjects with unresectable stage III or stage IV melanoma not harboring the V600E BRAF mutation and disease progression following first-line standard of care therapy (Cohort 1). • To assess the ORR of E7080 in subjects with unresectable stage III or stage IV melanoma harboring the V600E BRAF mutation and disease progression following BRAF-V600E-targeted therapy (Cohort 2).
|
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Secondary objectives: • To assess progression-free survival and overall survival of subjects in this study population treated with E7080 (Cohorts 1 and 2). • To assess the disease control rate (DCR; CR + PR + stable disease >=7 weeks); clinical benefit rate (CBR; CR + PR + durable SD rate); and durable SD rate >=23 weeks for subjects treated with E7080 (Cohorts 1 and 2). • To assess the safety and tolerability of E7080 (Cohorts 1 and 2). • To assess the pharmacokinetic profile and pharmacodynamics of E7080 in subjects with unresectable stage III or stage IV melanoma (Cohorts 1 and 2).
Exploratory objectives: • To identify and evaluate blood and tumor biomarkers (including those based on mRNA and microRNA expression, DNA sequence, and proteomic signatures) which correlate with the efficacy-related endpoints of this study. • To identify and evaluate DNA-sequence variants in genes influencing E7080 ADME. • To compare the ORR between Cohort 1 and Cohort 2. |

Adequate renal function defined as calculated creatinine clearance ≥30 mL/min per the Cockcroft and Gault formula (Appendix 4). 9. Adequate bone marrow function: - Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1000/mm3 (≥1.0 x 103/micro/L); - Platelets ≥100,000/mm3 (≥100 x 109/L); - Hemoglobin ≥9.0 g/dL. 10. Adequate blood coagulation function as evidenced by an International Normalized Ratio (INR) <=1.5. 11. Adequate liver function: - Bilirubin <=1.5 x the upper limit of normal (ULN) except for unconjugated hyperbilirubinaemia of Gilbert’s syndrome; - Alkaline phosphatase, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) <=3 x ULN (<=5 x ULN if subject has liver metastases). 12. Males or females age ≥18 years at the time of informed consent. 13. All females must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test (minimum sensitivity 25 IU/L or equivalent units of beta-human chorionic gonadotropin [β hCG]) at the Screening Visit (and/or within 72 hours of the first dose of study drug). Females of child-bearing potential must agree to use a medically acceptable method of contraception (e.g., abstinence, an intrauterine device [IUD], a double-barrier method such as condom + spermicide or condom + diaphragm with spermicide, a contraceptive implant, an oral contraceptive or have a vasectomised partner with confirmed azoospermia) throughout the entire study period and for 30 days after study drug discontinuation. The only subjects who will be exempt from this requirement are postmenopausal women (defined as women who have been amenorrheic for at least 12 consecutive months, in the appropriate age group, without other known or suspected primary cause) or subjects who have been sterilized surgically or who are otherwise proven sterile (i.e., bilateral tubal ligation with surgery at least 1 month prior to dosing, hysterectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy with surgery at least 1 month prior to dosing). All women who are of reproductive potential and who are using hormonal contraceptives must have been on a stable dose of the same hormonal contraceptive product for at least 4 weeks prior to dosing and must continue to use the same contraceptive during the study and for 30 days after study drug discontinuation. 14. Male subjects who are partners of women of childbearing potential must use or their partners must use a highly effective method of contraception (e.g., condom + spermicide, condom + diaphragm with spermicide, an IUD) beginning at least 1 menstrual cycle prior to starting study drug(s), throughout the entire study period, and for 30 days after the last dose of study drug, unless they are sexually abstinent or have undergone a successful vasectomy. Those with partners using hormonal contraceptives must also be using an additional approved method of contraception, as described previously. 15. Voluntary agreement to provide written informed consent and the willingness and ability to comply with all aspects of the protocol.

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Melanoma of intraocular origin. 2. Brain or leptomeningeal metastases. 3. More than 1 prior systemic chemotherapy regimen for unresectable stage III or stage IV disease or any treatment targeting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-directed angiogenesis. There is no restriction regarding prior adjuvant treatment (Cohort 1). 4. Subjects not previously treated with BRAF-V600E-targeted therapy for unresectable stage III or stage IV disease or subjects receiving any prior treatment targeting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-directed angiogenesis.
