Percentage of Participants With a Confirmed and an Unconfirmed Best Overall Response (BOR) of Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) According to RECIST Version (v) 1.0 - Extension: BRAFV600E- Positive Melanoma
BOR of confirmed /unconfirmed (total) response was defined as CR or PR recorded from baseline until disease progression/recurrence according to Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) v 1.0 criteria. For target lesions (TLs), CR was defined as the disappearance of all TLs, and PR was defined as at least a 30 percent (%) decrease in the sum of longest diameters of the TLs, taking as a reference the baseline (BL) sum of longest diameters. For non-target lesions (NTLs), CR was defined as the disappearance of all NTLs and normalization of tumor marker levels. Confirmed responses were those which were confirmed by repeat assessments performed no less than four weeks after the criteria for response are first met. Percentage of participants with best overall response rate was calculated as the (number of participants with CR or PR) divided by (total number of participants in the cohort), and then multiplied by 100. The 95% Cl was determined using the Pearson-Clopper method.
Measured: Screening, BL, until PD, or end of efficacy follow-up, up to data cutoff (up to 337 days)

Secondary outcomes (11)
Duration of CR or PR Using RECIST v 1.0 - Extension BRAFV600E- Positive Melanoma
Duration of response for participants with confirmed CR or PR was the period of time measured between the date that the criteria for objective CR or PR (whichever status was recorded first) was met, and the first date that recurrent or PD was objectively documented (or death if before progression). PD was at least a 20% increase in the sum of longest diameters of TLs taking as reference the smallest sum of longest diameters recorded since the baseline measurements, or the appearance of one or more new lesion(s). In the event of no disease progression or documented death prior to study termination, analysis cutoff, or initiation of confounding anticancer therapy, duration of response was censored at the date of the last evaluable tumor assessment.
Measured: Screening, BL, until PD, or end of efficacy follow-up, up to data cutoff (up to 337 days)
Percentage of Participants With Progression-Free Survival (PFS) Using RECIST v 1.0 - Melanoma Extension Cohort
PFS was the period of time measured from the date of initiation of therapy to the date of the appearance of new metastatic lesions, objective tumor progression, or death if before progression. PD was defined according to the RECIST criteria (v 1.0) as increase by at least 20% in the sum of the longest diameters of each TL, taking as a reference the smallest sum of the longest diameters, reported since the start of treatment, or appearance of one or more new lesions. For Non-TLs, PD was defined as the appearance of one or more new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of existing non-TLs.
Measured: Month 1, 3, 4, 6, 9, and Last event (350) days
PFS Using RECIST v1.0 - Extension BRAFV600E Positive Melanoma
PFS was the period of time measured from the date of initiation of therapy to the date of the appearance of new metastatic lesions, objective tumor progression, or death if before progression. PD was at least a 20% increase in the sum of longest diameters of TLs taking as reference the smallest sum of longest diameters recorded since the baseline measurements, or the appearance of one or more new lesion(s). For Non-TLs, disease progression was defined as the appearance of one or more new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of existing non-TLs. In the event of no disease progression or documented death prior to study termination, analysis cutoff, or start of confounding anticancer therapy, PFS was censored at the date of the last evaluable tumor assessment.
Measured: Screening, BL, until PD, or end of efficacy follow-up, up to data cutoff (up to 421 days)

Measured: Screening, BL, until PD, or end of efficacy follow-up, up to 444 days
Overall Survival (OS) - Extension: BRAFV600E- Positive Melanoma
OS was the period of time measured from the date of initiation of therapy to the date of the death. In the event of no death prior to study termination or analysis data cutoff, OS was censored at the last known date that the patient was alive as documented on the follow-up case report form. If this date was not available, then the last known alive date from the database was used.
Measured: Screening, BL, until PD, or end of efficacy follow-up, up to 444 days
Time to CR or PR Using RECIST v1.0 - Extension: BRAFV600E- Positive Melanoma
Time to CR or PR was defined as the interval between the date of the first treatment to the date of the first documentation of confirmed CR or PR whichever occurred first, and not the date of confirmation at the subsequent tumor assessment. Time to response = Date of first response - initial dose date + 1.
Measured: Screening, BL, and up to 168 days

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
The primary objective of this FIH study is to assess the safety and pharmacokinetics of PLX4032 in patients with solid tumors. The secondary objective is to assess the pharmacodynamic activity in paired biopsy specimens obtained from patients with malignant melanoma who have the V600E BRAF oncogenic mutation.
Detailed description
Activating mutations of the BRAF gene have been observed in a variety of cancers, including 55-68% of malignant melanomas. In general, oncogenic mutations of BRAF correlate with a poor outcome. PLX4032 is a compound that selectively inhibits oncogenic B-Raf kinase.
Two extension cohorts of patients with confirmed V600E mutations will be recruited, consisting of advanced melanoma and metastatic colorectal carcinoma.

Percentage of Participants With a Confirmed and an Unconfirmed Best Overall Response (BOR) of Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) According to RECIST Version (v) 1.0 - Extension: BRAFV600E- Positive Melanoma
Time frame: Screening, BL, until PD, or end of efficacy follow-up, up to data cutoff (up to 337 days)
BOR of confirmed /unconfirmed (total) response was defined as CR or PR recorded from baseline until disease progression/recurrence according to Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) v 1.0 criteria. For target lesions (TLs), CR was defined as the disappearance of all TLs, and PR was defined as at least a 30 percent (%) decrease in the sum of longest diameters of the TLs, taking as a reference the baseline (BL) sum of longest diameters. For non-target lesions (NTLs), CR was defined as the disappearance of all NTLs and normalization of tumor marker levels. Confirmed responses were those which were confirmed by repeat assessments performed no less than four weeks after the criteria for response are first met. Percentage of participants with best overall response rate was calculated as the (number of participants with CR or PR) divided by (total number of participants in the cohort), and then multiplied by 100. The 95% Cl was determined using the Pearson-Clopper method.

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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Aug 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
