A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Activity of Belvarafenib as a Single Agent and in Combination With Either Cobimetinib or Cobimetinib Plus Nivolumab in Patients With NRAS-mutant Advanced Melanoma.

This study will evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and activity of belvarafenib as a single agent and in combination with either cobimetinib or cobimetinib plus nivolumab in patients with NRAS-mutant advanced melanoma who have received anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy.

About this study

The study will evaluate three treatment regimens in three arms: a belvarafenib monotherapy arm (Belva arm); a belvarafenib plus cobimetinib arm (Belva + Cobi arm) in an initial dose-finding phase followed by an expansion phase and a belvarafenib plus cobimetinib plus nivolumab arm (Belva + Cobi + Nivo arm) in a run-in phase followed by an expansion phase.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • ECOG Performance Status of 0 or 1
  • Histologically confirmed, metastatic (recurrent or de novo Stage IV) or unresectable locally advanced (Stage III) cutaneous melanoma, that has progressed on or after treatment with anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 therapy. Patients may have received up to two lines of systemic cancer therapy. Treatment with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 in the adjuvant setting is acceptable. Patients must have progressed disease at study entry
  • Documentation of NRAS mutation-positive within 5 years prior to screening
  • Tumor specimen availability
  • Adequate hematologic and end-organ function
  • Measurable disease per RECIST v1.1

Exclusion criteria

  • Prior treatment with a pan-RAF inhibitor
  • Treatment with systemic immunotherapy agents (e.g., anti-CTLA4, anti-PD(L)1, cytokine therapy, investigational therapy, etc.) within 28 days prior to C1D1
  • Symptomatic, untreated, or actively progressing CNS metastases
  • History or signs/symptoms of clinically significant cardiovascular disease
  • Known clinically significant liver disease
  • History of autoimmune disease or immune deficiency
  • Prior treatment with a MEK inhibitor (cobimetinib arm)
  • History of or evidence of retinal pathology on ophthalmologic examination (cobimetinib arm)
  • History of immune-related AE attributed to prior anti-PD(L)1 therapy that resulted in permanent discontinuation of anti-PD(L)1 therapy (nivolumab arm)

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLTs)

    Time frame: 28 Days from Cycle 1, Day 1

  2. Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events

    Time frame: From Cycle 1, Day 1 Up to 4 Years

    Severity determined according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v5.0

Secondary outcomes

  1. Objective response rate (ORR) according to RECIST v1.1

    Time frame: Up to Approximately 4 Years

    Defined as the percentage of participants with a CR or PR on two consecutive occasions >/= 4 weeks apart, as determined by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1

  2. Progression free survival (PFS) according to RECIST v1.1

    Time frame: Up to Approximately 4 Years

    Defined as the time from the first study treatment to the first occurrence of disease progression or death from any cause (whichever occurs first), as determined by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1

  3. Duration of response (DOR) according to RECIST v1.1

    Time frame: Up to Approximately 4 Years

    Defined as the time from the first occurrence of a confirmed objective response to disease progression or death from any cause (whichever occurs first), as determined by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1

  4. Overall survival (OS)

    Time frame: Up to Approximately 4 Years

    Defined as the time from the first study treatment to death from any cause

  5. Plasma concentration of belvarafenib at specified timepoints

    Time frame: Up to 30 Days After the Final Dose of Study Drug

  6. Plasma concentration of cobimetinib at specified timepoints

    Time frame: Up to 30 Days After the Final Dose of Study Drug
