Trial Identification

Brief Title: Radiotherapy & Combi in Metastatic Melanoma

Official Title: An Open-label, Single-arm, Phase I/II, Multicentre Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of the Combination of Dabrafenib, Trametinib and Palliative Radiotherapy in Patients With Unresectable (Stage IIIc) and Metastatic (Stage IV) BRAF V600E/K Mutation-positive Cutaneous Melanoma

Study ID: NCT02392871

Conditions

Metastatic Melanoma

Interventions

Palliative radiotherapy

Dabrafenib and trametinib (combination)

Study Description

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to investigate the side effects and safety, and effectiveness of combining dabrafenib and trametinib with radiotherapy. Previous and ongoing clinical trials have demonstrated the effectiveness and safety of combining both dabrafenib and trametinib compared with dabrafenib alone. This has led to the approval for the use of both drugs in combination in people with metastatic melanoma with the BRAF mutation. Melanoma that has spread to other parts of the body may also benefit from radiotherapy to help reduce symptoms from melanoma. Previous studies have shown that melanoma may be sensitive to radiotherapy and that it can help to improve quality of life. The intention of the CombiRT study is to establish if dabrafenib, trametinib and radiotherapy combined is a safe and effective treatment for metastatic melanoma.
