About this study

Official title: Real-World Treatment Patterns and Outcomes of Targeted Therapy and Immunotherapy Among BRAF-Positive Melanoma Patients Treated in the Adjuvant Setting and Among BRAF-Positive Metastatic Melanoma Patients With Low Tumor Burden: An Observational Study

This was an observational study utilizing electronic health record (EHR)-derived data collected retrospectively during routine care of real-world patients with advanced melanoma from NOBLE (Novartis Braf+ meLanoma patients ObsErvational) dataset.

Read the detailed description

The NOBLE database was built from the harmonization of two customized oncology specific EHR databases: Flatiron Health Spotlight and Concerto Custom Patient360. BRAF v600 mutated advanced (i.e., stage III or IV) patients treated at oncology practices across the US were identified in these two databases for potential inclusion. Both the Flatiron Health EHR-derived database and the Concerto Patient360 database contain clinical, demographic, treatment, and mortality information for melanoma patients from the time of initial diagnosis until death or the most recent data cut-off, which is August 31, 2020 (for population 1), and May 31, 2020 (for population 2).

For population 1 (patients treated in the adjuvant setting): included patients were aged more than or equal to 18 years, were required to have a diagnosis of melanoma (ICD-9 172.x \& ICD-10 C43.x or D03.x), pathologic stage III disease, evidence of resection, adjuvant treatment with Immunotherapy (IO) (e.g., Nivolumab (nivo) or Pembrolizumab (pembro)) or Targeted Therapy (TT) (e.g., Dabrafenib+ Trametinib (dab+tram)) on or after January 1, 2014 and prior to August 30,2020 (data cut-off), and any evidence of a BRAF+ result. Patients were required to have at least 6 months of follow-up after initiation of adjuvant treatment. Patients were followed until the earlier of death, data cut-off, loss of follow-up, or received MM diagnosis. While the first systemic therapy approved for use in the adjuvant melanoma setting occurred in 2015, the study period of interest begins on January 1, 2014, to include any potential off-label use of these therapies as adjuvant therapies.

For population 2 (patients with Low tumor burden (LTB) treated in the metastatic setting): included patients were aged more than or equal to 18 years, and were required to have a diagnosis of melanoma (ICD-9 172.x \& ICD-10 C43 or D03x), a pathologic stage IV diagnosis, treatment with IO (e.g. Ipilimumab (ipi), nivo, pembro, ipi+nivo) or TT (dab+tram, Vemurafenib+Cobimetinib, Encorafenib+Binimetinib (vem+cobi, enco+bini) on or after January 1, 2014 and prior to May 31, 2020 (data cut-off), and evidence of a BRAF+ result after therapy initiation. Patients were required to be classified as LTB at the time of stage IV diagnosis. LTB was defined as having normal LDH and <3 metastatic sites at the time of stage IV diagnosis. To align with recent FDA approvals for combination therapies use in the MM setting, the study period of interest began on January 1, 2014. Furthermore, this sampling interval allowed for a maximum of 6 years of follow-up from the start of study period.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Metastatic Melanoma, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 1 site in United States.

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 18 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 6 Apr 2023. 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 United States. 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?

Proportion of patients receiving TT and IO therapy in the first-, and second-line (time frame: throughout the study period, approximately 6 years (i.e., 01 January 2014 to 30 August 2020 for population 1 and 01 January 2014 to 31 May 2020 for population 2). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 6 Apr 2023.
