Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

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

16 years and older (Child, Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • AJCC (2009) stage IIIC cutaneous melanoma rendered free of disease by surgical resection no greater than 90 days prior study enrollment. Patients with unknown primaries will be eligible for this trial. Patients with a history of resected stage I or II cutaneous melanoma who subsequently have their first disease recurrence meeting the criteria for stage IIIC disease will also be eligible for this trial.
  • Patients must have clear margins after wide local excision. Patients with nodes that are palpable or detectable on radiologic imaging must have an adequate lymphadenectomy.
  • Patients must be adequately recovered from surgery, radiation therapy, or any surgical complications prior to enrollment. In general, this means patients will be off antibiotics from wound infections and drains removed. However, if necessary, patients can be treated with a drain in place at the discretion of the PI if the 90 days window is about to expire.
  • Histologic proof of melanoma reviewed and confirmed by MSKCC.
  • A documented BRAFV600E or BRAFV600K mutation by genotyping or IHC [35]performed by a CLIA certified laboratory.
  • Age ≥ 16 years old
  • ECOG performance status = 0 or Karnofsky Performance Status equivalent
  • The ability to swallow pills.
  • Patients must have adequate organ and marrow function as defined below:

Absolute neutrophil count ≥1.5 K/mcL Platelets ≥ 100 K/mcL Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 X institutional upper limit of normal (ULN)

≤ 3.0 X institutional ULN if the patient has Gilbert's Syndrome AST (SGOT) and ALT (SGPT) ≤ 2.5 X institutional ULN Creatinine ≤ 1.5 X institutional ULN or creatinine clearance (calculated or measured) > 60 ml/min

  • Women with child bearing potential and men with reproductive potential must be willing to practice acceptable methods of contraception.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with a history of stage III melanoma (any primary melanoma with locoregional nodal/subcutaneous disease) treated with surgical resection who subsequently have disease recurrence meeting the criteria for stage IIIC disease.
  • Prior therapy with ipilimumab, other BRAF inhibitors, or MEK inhibitors.
  • Concurrent adjuvant immunotherapy, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy.
  • Current use of a prohibited medication while on dabrafenib
  • Presence of active gastrointestinal disease or other condition that will interfere significantly with the absorption of drugs.
  • A history of known glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency.
  • Pregnant women and lactating women.
  • A concurrent second malignancy even if it does not require active therapy. Patients with indolent B-cell malignancies will not be eligible. Prior malignancy will be allowed as long as the patient is known to be free of disease for at least 3 years.
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
  • QTc interval > 500 msec unless a bundle branch block is also present.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: dabrafenib
This is a single institution phase II trial assessing the efficacy of adjuvant dabrafenib (GSK2118436) in patients with surgically resected AJCC stage IIIC melanoma characterized by a BRAFV600E/K mutation.
Drug: Dabrafenib
Following definitive surgical resection, eligible patients will receive dabrafenib at 150 mg twice a day by mouth for 4 cycles (± 5 days). One cycle is 28 days.

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
Percentage of Participants With Relapse Free Survival
Time Frame: 24 months
Relapse free survival is defined as the time from surgical resection to the first recurrence or death as assessed by physical examination and radiographic evaluation. All recurrences will be confirmed by biopsy and histologic evaluation.
24 months

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
Overall Survival
Time Frame: 2 years
Overall survival is defined as the time from surgical resection to death or last follow-up.
2 years
Number of Participants With Adverse Events
Time Frame: 1 year
Toxicity will be graded by the NCI Common Toxicity Criteria (CTC) version 4.0 with each cycle of adjuvant dabrafenib.
1 year
