Detailed Description
Patients will be enrolled into 3 cohorts:
- Cohort A : Neurologically asymptomatic patients who have not received prior local treatment ;
- Cohort B. Neurologically asymptomatic patients who have received prior local treatment;
- Cohort C. Neurologically symptomatic patients who have or have not received prior local treatment Every patients will be treated with Vemurafenib 960 mg PO, twice daily from D1 to D28, continuously
Cobimetinib 60 mg PO, once daily, from D1 to D21 - 1 cycle = 28 days
Treatment will be administered until progression (intracranial or extracranial), unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, death or decision of the treating investigator.
Patients who develop intracranial or extracranial progression and who, in the opinion of the treating investigator, could benefit from continuing treatment may continue treatment with vemurafenib and cobimetinib after approval from the principal investigator.
Patients who discontinue the study treatment will undergo an end-of-treatment visit 30 days after the last dose of vemurafenib and/or cobimetinib.
Patients who discontinue the study treatment for any reason other than progression (e.g. toxicity) must be followed up every 8 weeks unless they withdraw their consent.

Eligibility Criteria
Ages Eligible for Study

Genders Eligible for Study
Description
Inclusion Criteria:
- Men and women ≥ 18 years of age.
- Histologically confirmed metastatic cutaneous melanoma, mucous melanoma, or melanoma of unknown primary origin (stage IV).
- Documented BRAFV600 mutation determined in a hospital center specializing in the molecular genetics of cancer that is certified by the French national cancer institute (INCa).
- Presence of Brain Metastases (BM) for which surgical resection is not a reasonable treatment option but that may be amenable to treatment with targeted therapy, to be decided in the onco-dermatology and/or neuro-oncology multidisciplinary team meeting (MDTM).
- At least one measurable BM in at least one dimension between 5 and 40 mm on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with gadolinium (modified RECIST 1.1).
- Patients having previously received a maximum of two systemic therapies during the metastatic phase, except BRAF, Map ERK Kinase (MEK) or Extracellular signal Regulated Kinase (ERK) inhibitors or tyrosine kinase pan-inhibitors (TKIs); prior ipilimumab therapy is allowed if patients have documented cerebral progression 12 weeks after the last injection of treatment and if MRI confirms progression at least 4 weeks later. A period of at least 6 weeks must be observed between the last dose of ipilimumab and the first administration of the study treatments. Prior treatment with anti-programmed cell death (PD)-1 or anti-PD ligand 1 (PD-L1) is allowed.
- For patients who have received prior whole brain radiotherapy or radiosurgery and/or surgery for BM (cohorts B and C) demonstration of a significant progression of at least one lesion according to RECIST 1.1 criteria, . after at least 4 weeks have elapsed since this treatment has ended, and MRI at inclusion must demonstrate a significant progression of at least one lesion according to RECIST 1.1 criteria.
- Patients with symptomatic or asymptomatic BM.
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 2.
- Patients must have recovered from all the side effects (grade ≤ 1 according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, NCI-Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Event (CTCAE), version 4.03) of their most recent systemic or local treatment (except alopecia).
- Signed and dated informed consent before carrying out any procedures that are specific to the trial and are not procedures (examinations) conducted as part of normal patient care.
- Patients willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment schedule, laboratory testing and other trial procedures.
- Negative serum pregnancy test within 10 days of the first dose of the study treatment for women of childbearing age. Women of non-childbearing potential may be included if they are surgically sterile or postmenopausal for ≥ 1 year.
- Fertile men and women must use an effective method of contraception during treatment and for at least 6 months after the last administration of the study treatment. Effective methods of contraception are defined as those that have a low failure rate (i.e. less than 1% per year) when used consistently and correctly, such as injectable implants combined with oral contraception or intra-uterine devices, or as total abstinence in cases where the lifestyle of the patient ensures compliance.
- Adequate hematologic, renal and hepatic function within 14 days of the administration of treatment:
Hematologic Leucocytes > 2.0 x 109/L Neutrophils > 1.0 x 109/L Hemoglobin (transfusion allowed) > 9 g/dL Platelets > 100 x 109/L Liver Total bilirubin < 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) (< 3.0 mg/dL for patients with Gilbert syndrome) Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) < 3 x ULN (< 5 x ULN if there is liver metastasis) Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) < 3 x ULN (< 5 x ULN if there is liver or bone metastasis) Kidney Creatinine Or creatinine clearance < 1.5 x ULN ≥ 40 mL/min (Cockcroft-Gault formula)
Exclusion Criteria:
- Uveal melanoma. Patients with mucous melanoma or melanoma of unknown primary origin are eligible if BRAFV600 mutation is confirmed.

The risk factors for RVO are listed below:
- Uncontrolled glaucoma with intraocular pressures > 21 mm Hg,
- Serum cholesterol ≥ Grade 2 (≥ 7.75 mmol/L),
- Hypertriglyceridemia ≥ Grade 2 (≥ 3.42 mmol/L),
- Hyperglycemia (fasting) ≥ Grade 2 (≥ 8.9 mmol/L).
- Serious or uncontrolled medical disorders that, in the opinion of the investigator, may increase the risk associated with study participation or study drug administration, impair the ability of the patient to follow the protocol, or interfere with the interpretation of study results.
- Patients Under guardianship or curators, maintenance of justice, non-informed about diagnosis, unable to follow study medical requirement for geographical, social or psychic reasons.
