Spots Global Cancer Trial Database for Safety and Efficacy Study of Vemurafenib and High-dose Interferon Alfa-2b in Melanoma

Study Description

Brief Summary: This is a dose-seeking and efficacy study of combined BRAF Inhibitor Vemurafenib and High-dose Interferon alfa-2b for therapy of advanced melanoma.

Detailed Description: * Dose-selection and dose-expansion study of combination therapy with high-dose interferon alfa-2b and vemurafenib. * Vemurafenib at standard dosing with a 2 week lead-in period to exploit potential immunomodulatory effects. Concurrent HDI following this (week 2 onwards) at standard induction (4 weeks) and maintenance (48 weeks) doses. * Modified Storer's "up and down" dose escalation schema using 3 fixed dose levels for HDI and a fixed sample size that allows efficient identification of recommended phase II dose. * 36-63 patients will be enrolled depending on toxicity parameters. oIn the dose-selection portion, 3 patients will be enrolled per dose level, starting from the lowest dose level. Enrollment will occur serially allowing for the observation of toxicity during the observation period. oIterative enrollment of up to 3 subjects per cohort will be continued until a total of 30 evaluable subjects have been enrolled. oThe dose level at which the RLT rate is the closest to 1/3 will be considered as RP2D. oDuring the dose-expansion portion of the trial, depending on the number of patients treated at RP2D during the dose-selection portion, additional patients may be enrolled - the accrual target is 36 patients treated at RP2D.
