About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized, Open-label, Active Controlled, Two-parallel Groups, Phase 3 Study to Compare the Efficacy and Safety of Masitinib at 7.5 mg/kg/Day to Dacarbazine in the Treatment of Patients With Non-resectable or Metastatic Stage 3 or Stage 4 Melanoma Carrying a Mutation in the Juxta Membrane Domain of C-kit

The objective is to assess the efficacy and safety of masitinib at 7.5 mg/kg/day in the treatment of patients with non-resectable or metastatic stage 3 or stage 4 melanoma carrying a mutation in the juxta membrane domain of c-Kit and who have not previously been treated for melanoma.

Read the detailed description

Masitinib is a selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor with potent activity against the juxta membrane domain of c-Kit. Masitinib is also thought to promote survival via modulation of immunostimulation-mediated anticancer effects and modulation of the tumor microenvironment. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of masitinib with respect to dacarbazine in the treatment of non-resectable or metastatic stage 3 or stage 4 melanoma carrying a mutation in the juxta membrane domain of c-Kit. Following a protocol amendment, the dacarbarzine treatment group was closed and recruitment restricted to masitinib treatment of chemo-naïve (first-line) patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Objective Response Rate

    Estimated as the number of patients with documented partial response or complete response defined according to the RECIST criteria, divided by the number of randomized patients

    Measured: 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. PFS

    Progression Free Survival (PFS) is defined as the delay between the date of randomization to the date of documented progression (according to RECIST) or any cause of death during the study.

    Measured: From day of randomization to disease progression or death, assessed for a maximum of 60 months

  2. Overall Survival (OS)

    Overall survival is defined as time in months from the randomization date to the date of death due to any cause. If a patient is not known to have died, then OS will be censored at the date of last known date patient alive.

    Measured: From day of randomization to death, assessed for a maximum of 60 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Masitinib and Dacarbazine in people with Metastatic Melanoma, run by AB Science at 9 sites in 7 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Nov 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in France, United States, Czechia, Germany, Italy and 2 more countries. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Sponsor decision based on portfolio prioritization). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Objective Response Rate (time frame: 24 weeks). 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 5 Nov 2020.
