About this study

Official title: A Phase 1b Open Label, Dose Escalation Study to Assess Safety, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Antitumor Activity of PLX3397 in Combination With Vemurafenib in V600-mutated BRAF Unresectable or Metastatic Melanoma

The purpose of this research study is to test the safety of an investigational new drug called PLX3397 when used in combination with Vemurafenib (Zelboraf™) at different dose levels. Vemurafenib has been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA)/European Medicines Agency (EMA) for the treatment of a specific category of unresectable or metastatic melanoma.

Being tested
PLX3397, vemurafenib

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Dose extension cohortExperimentalPatients will take PLX3397 and vemurafenib at the recommended phase 2 dose. This will be determined by the tolerability and safety of these drugs in the previous 3 cohorts.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events Who Received PLX3397 in Combination With Vemurafenib in V600-mutated BRAF Melanoma

    Measured: 1 year

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

  1. First posted8 Apr 2013 (estimated)
  2. Study start5 Nov 2013
  3. Primary completion22 Sep 2014
  4. Study completion22 Sep 2014

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing PLX3397 and vemurafenib in people with V600-mutated BRAF Unresectable Melanoma and V600-mutated BRAF Metastatic Melanoma, run by Daiichi Sankyo at 6 sites in 3 countries.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. 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 28 May 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in United States, France, Germany. 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 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 28 May 2020). 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?

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?

Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events Who Received PLX3397 in Combination With Vemurafenib in V600-mutated BRAF Melanoma (time frame: 1 year). 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 28 May 2020.
