A Multicenter, Open Label, Randomized Phase II Trial of the MEK Inhibitor Pimasertib or Dacarbazine in Previously Untreated Subjects With N-Ras Mutated Locally Advanced or Metastatic Malignant Cutaneous Melanoma
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Pimasertib and Dacarbazine for N-Ras Mutated Locally Advanced or Metastasis Malignant Cutaneous Melanoma. Completed, enrolled 194 participants across 101 sites in 14 countries.
Detailed Summary
This is a Phase 2, multicenter, randomized, controlled, open-label trial of pimasertib versus dacarbazine aimed to confirm the activity of pimasertib in previously untreated subjects with N-Ras mutated locally advanced or metastatic malignant cutaneous melanoma by comparing the progression-free survival (PFS) of subjects treated with either pimasertib or dacarbazine and by getting a better understanding of the efficacy, safety, pharmacogenomics (PGx) and their relationship with pimasertib exposure.

Timeline
Interventions
Subjects will receive pimasertib orally as monotherapy at a dose of 60 milligram (mg) twice daily continuously. Treatment will consist of repeated 21-day cycles which will continue until progression of the disease, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of informed consent, or death, whichever occurs first.
Subjects will receive dacarbazine intravenously at dose of 1000 milligram per square meter (mg/m\^2) of body surface area every 3 weeks on Day 1 of each 21-days cycle until progression of the disease, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of informed consent, or death, whichever occurs first. Eligible subjects with documented tumor progression on dacarbazine will offer to switch to pimasertib treatment.
