Comparator Agent  NA  NA 
Intervention  Vemurafenib  RO5185426 is a low molecular weight, orally available, selective inhibitor of the activated form of the BRAF serine-threonine kinase enzyme, which is commonly found in malignant melanoma. In vitro biochemical and cell-based assays have confirmed a high degree of selectivity of RO5185426 for the oncogenic BRAF V600E kinase. It is equipotent against CRAF (44 nM) and 3-fold less potent against BRAF wild type (110 nM). In a panel of 58 kinases, RO5185426 had an IC50 1 μM for only 1 kinase (BRK kinase) outside the BRAF family. RO5185426 was also screened against 63 receptors in 8 different families. At 10 μM, RG7204 showed marginal activity (20–24% inhibition) against 4 receptors and was inactive against the other 59 targets. Dose: 960mg B.I.D Route of administration: Oral Frequency: every cycle wherein One cycle of therapy is defined as 28 days of treatment. Intotal 8 cycles.

procedures (including tumor testing for the
V600 BRAF mutation) 
 
ExclusionCriteria 
Details  1. Evidence of symptomatic CNS lesions as
determined by investigator (patients with
radiographically stable, asymptomatic lesions
previously irradiated or surgically resected

excluded except patients with treated and
controlled basal or squamous cell carcinoma
(SCC) of the skin or carcinoma in-situ of the
cervix. Isolated elevation in prostate-
specific antigen in absence of radiographic
evidence of metastatic prostate cancer is
allowed

therapies (e.g. chemotherapy, other targeted
therapy, experimental drug, etc) other than
those administered in this study
4. Known hypersensitivity to RO5185426 or
another BRAF inhibitor
5. Pregnant or lactating women
6. Refractory nausea and vomiting,malabsorption,
external biliary shunt, or significant bowel
resection that would preclude adequate
absorption. Patients must be able to swallow
tablets
7. Any of the following within the 6 months
prior to first RO5185426 administration:
myocardial infarction, severe/unstable
angina, symptomatic congestive heart failure,
cerebrovascular accident or transient
ischemic attack, pulmonary embolism,
hypertension not adequately controlled
by current medications
8. History of congenital long QT syndrome,
history or presence of clinically significant
ventricular or atrial dysrhythmias ≥ Grade 2
(NCI CTCAE Version 4.0)
9. Corrected QT (QTc) interval ≥ 450 msec at
baseline

Brief Summary  

Summary

Metastatic melanoma represents a major clinical challenge as it is an essentially incurable disease with few satisfactory treatment options. Current first-line treatment options have yielded low response rates and no evidence of impact on survival. In the second-line setting, no treatment is considered effective and response rates to agents after first-line failure are very low (section 1.1.1).

RO5185426 is a highly selective inhibitor of the oncogenic BRAF kinase which has been identified in a large number of malignant melanomas. Results from Phase I and II studies have shown that RO5185426 induces high response rates in patients with metastatic melanoma carrying the V600E BRAF mutation (section 1.1.3). Results from the phase 3 study show an OS and PFS benefit in patients with unresectable IIIC or stage IV metastatic melanoma. These data indicate that RO5185426 might be an effective treatment option in this patient population with no currently available satisfactory treatment options. The purpose of this multicenter, early access study is to make RO5185426 available to a larger number of patients than could otherwise be treated in registration trials and who are without satisfactory treatment options. The primary objective of this study will be to evaluate the safety of RO5185426 in patients with unresectable IIIC or stage IV metastatic melanoma positive for the V600 BRAF mutation (identified by the cobas® 4800 BRAF V600 Mutation Test).

Study Overview:

This is an open-label, multicenter, multi-national, expanded access study of RO5185426 in patients with BRAF V600 mutation-positive (identified by the cobas® 4800 BRAF V600 Mutation Test) metastatic melanoma who may or may not have received prior

therapy for metastatic melanoma. The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of RO5185426. The study population will consist of patients at least 16 years of age with histological confirmed diagnoses of metastatic melanoma harboring the BRAF V600 mutation, as determined by cobas® 4800 BRAF V600 Mutation Test. Patients with measurable and/or non-measurable disease (as defined by RECIST 1.1) are eligible for enrollment in this trial. Patients may or may not have received prior therapy for metastatic melanoma. The trial will consist of a screening period (Day –28 to Day 1), a treatment phase, and an end of study/follow up. Day 1 of the study will be defined as the first day a patient receives RO5185426. One cycle of therapy is defined as 28 days of treatment.
