Therapeutic Drug Monitoring of BRAF-mutated Advanced Melanoma

BRAF V600-mutant metastatic melanoma are commonly treated using a combination of anti-BRAF and anti-MEK tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). The OPTIMEL trial aims to study the interest of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of TKIs and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) detected in plasma of patients with metastatic melanoma for disease monitoring. 35 patients with metastatic melanoma and treated with dabrafenib and trametinib will be enrolled in this trial. Blood samples will be collected for the determination of TKIs concentration and ctDNA detection.

  • Patient able to stand a blood collection of 20 mL
  • Ability to provide an informed written consent form
  • Patient must be affiliated to a social security system
  • Patient's legal capacity to consent to study participation and to understand and comply with the requirements of the study.

Exclusion criteria

  • Patient with mucosal melanoma
  • Patient with non-metastatic skin melanoma (All stages except stage IV and stage III C inoperable)
  • Patient with another synchronous cancer, or within 3 years
  • Patient with a contraindication to blood collection of 20 mL
  • Patient deprived of liberty or under supervision
  • Patient unable to receive kinase inhibitor therapy

Treatment and study plan

Blood sampling

Other

2x10 ml of patient peripherical blood will be collected at D0, D15, D30, D90, D180, D270 and with progression or at the end of the follow-up at the 12th month.

Primary outcomes

  1. Link between the presence of circulating tumor DNA and plasma concentrations of kinase inhibitors n patient with advanced BRAF(V600) mutated melanoma

    Time frame: 1 day

    ctDNA in patient with advanced BRAF(V600) mutated melanoma is estimated by the ratio of the Ct of the sample to the control. Plasma concentrations of anti-BRAF and anti-MEK tyrosine kinase inhibitors are expressed in μg / mL
