BRIM-P: A Study of Vemurafenib in Pediatric Patients With Stage IIIC or Stage IV Melanoma Harboring BRAFV600 Mutations

August 25, 2016 updated by: Hoffmann-La Roche

An Open-label, Multicenter, Single-arm, Phase I Dose-escalation With Efficacy Tail Extension Study of Vemurafenib (RO5185426) in Pediatric Patients With Surgically Incurable and Unresectable Stage IIIC or Stage IV Melanoma Harboring BRAFV600 Mutations

This open-label, multicenter. single arm Phase I dose-escalation study with efficacy tail extension will evaluate the maximum tolerated dose/recommended dose, the safety and efficacy of vemurafenib (RO5185426) in pediatric participants (aged 12 through 17) with newly diagnosed or recurrent surgically incurable and unresectable Stage IIIC or Stage IV melanoma harboring BRAFV600 mutations. Participants will receive vemurafenib orally twice daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

12 years to 17 years (Child)

Experimental: Vemurafenib
Participants received vemurafenib into two separate cohorts with different starting doses based on greater than or equal to (>=)45 kilogram (kg) and other weighing less than (<)45 kg. The starting dose for participants (>=45 kg) was 720 milligram (mg) of vemurafenib by mouth twice daily (BID) and the next dose level for participants in this cohort was 960 mg by mouth BID. The starting dose level for participants weighing <45 kg was to be 480 mg of vemurafenib by mouth BID, but no participants were enrolled into this cohort.
Drug: vemurafenib
Cohort 1 (participants >=45 kg): starting dose level 720mg; next dose level 960 mg Cohort 2 (participants <45 kg): starting dose 480 mg

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)/Recommended Dose
Time Frame: Up to 28 days of treatment
The MTD was defined as the dose level at which six evaluable participants had been treated and at most one participant experienced a dose limiting toxicity (DLT) and the next highest dose level was too toxic. Dose escalation occurred if 0 out of 3 or at most 1 out of 6 participant experienced DLT while being treated at a dose level; otherwise the dose was declared unsafe and thus above the MTD.
Up to 28 days of treatment

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve for Vemurafenib
Time Frame: Pre-dose, 2, 4, 8, 12 hours post dose on Cycle 1 Day 1 and Cycle 1 Day 22 (each cycle is of 28 days)
Pre-dose, 2, 4, 8, 12 hours post dose on Cycle 1 Day 1 and Cycle 1 Day 22 (each cycle is of 28 days)
Number of Participants With an Adverse Event (AE)
Time Frame: Up to approximately 2 years 11 months
An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient administered a pharmaceutical product and which did not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with study treatment.
Up to approximately 2 years 11 months
Best Overall Response Rate (BORR)
Time Frame: Up to 2 years
BORR was assessed by the investigators according to the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1. BORR was defined as the number of participants who achieved a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). CR was defined as complete disappearance of all target lesions and non-target disease. PR was defined as a >=30% decrease under baseline of the sum of diameters of all target lesions. BORR was summarized along with the associated exact 95% confidence interval (CI) using the method of Clopper-Pearson.
Up to 2 years
Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR)
Time Frame: Up to 2 years
CBR was defined as the number of participants that achieved a CR, PR or stable disease (SD) (SD for at least 6 weeks) as assessed by investigators according to the RECIST v1.1. CR was defined as complete disappearance of all target lesions and non-target disease. PR was defined as at >=30% decrease under baseline of the sum of diameters of all target lesions. SD was defined as steady state of disease with neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease (PD).
Up to 2 years
Progression-free Survival (PFS)
Time Frame: Randomization date of first subject until disease progression or death or which ever occur first (2 years)
PFS was defined as the time between the day of first treatment and the first documentation of progressive disease or death. Progression was defined as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, the appearance of new lesions and increase of at least 5 mm in the sum of diameters of target lesions. Participants who were withdrawn from the study without documented progression were to be censored at the date of the last known tumor assessment when the participant was known to be progression free. Median PFS was estimated using Kaplan-Meier method and 95% CI for median was computed using the Brookmeyer and Crowley method.
Randomization date of first subject until disease progression or death or which ever occur first (2 years)
Overall Survival (OS)
Time Frame: Randomization date of first subject until death (2 years)
Overall survival was defined as the time between the date of first treatment to the date of death, regardless of the cause of death. Participants who were alive at the time of the analysis were censored at the date of their last being known alive. Median overall survival was estimated using Kaplan-Meier method and 95% CI for median was computed using the Brookmeyer and Crowley method.
Randomization date of first subject until death (2 years)

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
