Trial summary

Since 2013, therapeutic care of metastatic melanoma (MM) has greatly improved, especially thanks to BRAF and MEK targeted therapies. The efficacy of these treatments that are now used daily at first line for BRAF mutated MM is widely approved. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Safety of Targeted Therapies in Elderly Patients (Over 5 and 75 Year-old) With Metastatic Melanoma

Since 2013, therapeutic care of metastatic melanoma (MM) has greatly improved, especially thanks to BRAF and MEK targeted therapies. The efficacy of these treatments that are now used daily at first line for BRAF mutated MM is widely approved. Their toxicities, in monotherapy or in association, are also well-known: fever, arthralgias, digestive disorders, cutaneous rash, fatigue, photosensitivity, alopecia, cutaneous hyperkeratosis, squamous cell carcinomas, keratoacanthomas, de novo melanomas… However, onco-dermatologists are more and more faced with MM of elderly patients. Indeed, life expectancy continues to increase and the over-75-year-old age group is becoming larger. These patients are still active but much more vulnerable. Nevertheless, there is no data in the literature for this fragile population except the MM pivotal studies subgroups of those over 65-year-old. The results vary with different regimens. Therefore, there is a wide lack of information that could help make a therapeutic decision, inform patients, prevent or treat side effects of BRAF and MEK inhibitors in elderly patients

Since 2013, therapeutic care of metastatic melanoma (MM) has greatly improved, especially thanks to BRAF and MEK targeted therapies. The efficacy of these treatments that are now used daily at first line for BRAF mutated MM is widely approved. Their toxicities, in monotherapy or in association, are also well-known: fever, arthralgias, digestive disorders, cutaneous rash, fatigue, photosensitivity, alopecia, cutaneous hyperkeratosis, squamous cell carcinomas, keratoacanthomas, de novo melanomas… However, onco-dermatologists are more and more faced with MM of elderly patients. Indeed, life expectancy continues to increase and the over-75-year-old age group is becoming larger. These patients are still active but much more vulnerable. Nevertheless, there is no data in the literature for this fragile population except the MM pivotal studies subgroups of those over 65-year-old. The results vary with different regimens. Therefore, there is a wide lack of information that could help make a therapeutic decision, inform patients, prevent or treat side effects of BRAF and MEK inhibitors in elderly patients. This work aims to study the targeted therapies tolerance in over 65 or 75-year-old patients with BRAF mutated MM. The French clinical and biological database MELBASE will be analysed to carry out a descriptive retrospective multicentric study. This real-life assessment of the adverse effects in older patients will result in more adapted therapeutic decisions, better informed patients and improved follow-up care in order to increase quality of life and life expectancy.

What is being measured

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

  1. grade 3-4 adverse effects

    Analyze the relationship between Grade 3 and Level 4 adverse events in subjects older than 65 or 75 years of age compared to patients under 65 years of age

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Treatment modification

    Analyze treatment changes with progression-free survival and overall follow-up in patients over 65 or 75 years of age compared to patients younger than 65 years.

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Metastatic Melanoma, run by University Hospital, Montpellier at 1 site in France.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Apr 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

grade 3-4 adverse effects (time frame: 1 day). 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 18 Apr 2019.
