Authorised Therapeutic confirmatory (Phase III) Unresectable or metastatic NRAS mutant cutaneous melanoma

A RANDOMIZED, OPEN-LABEL PHASE 3 STUDY IN PATIENTS WITH PREVIOUSLY TREATED UNRESECTABLE OR METASTATIC NRAS MUTANT CUTANEOUS MELANOMA COMPARING THE COMBINATION OF NAPORAFENIB + TRAMETINIB TO PHYSICIAN’S CHOICE OF THERAPY (DACARBAZINE, TEMOZOLOMIDE OR TRAMETINIB MONOTHERAPY) WITH A DOSE OPTIMIZATION LEAD-IN [SEACRAFT-2]

EU CTIS ID: 2024-511404-17-00

What this study is testing

Stage 1 (Dose Optimization) - To select the optimal dose of naporafenib + trametinib to be studied in Stage 2 Stage 2 (Registration-Enabling Portion) - To compare PFS and overall survival (OS) for patients with NRASm melanoma who are randomized to receive the combination of naporafenib + trametinib to that of patients who are randomized to physician’s choice of therapy (dacarbazine, temozolomide, or trametinib monotherapy)

Who can take part

You may be able to join if

  • Patient has voluntarily agreed to participate by giving written informed consent in accordance with International Council for Harmonization (ICH)/GCP guidelines and applicable local regulations
  • Age ≥ 18 years
  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed unresectable or metastatic cutaneous (includes acral) melanoma
  • Documentation of an NRAS mutation (tumor tissue or blood) prior to first dose of study drug(s) as determined locally with an analytically validated assay in a certified testing laboratory.
  • Archival tumor tissue collected within 5 years prior to enrollment must be confirmed to be available at the time of Screening, which may be submitted before or after enrollment for exploratory biomarker analysis.
  • Must have received an anti-PD-1/L1 based regimen (monotherapy or combination). Patient must have documented disease progression either while receiving therapy or within 12 weeks of last dose of the most recent anti-PD-1/L1 based regimen; the patient is eligible if they have received other therapies between the most recent anti-PD-1/L1 based regimen and enrollment.

You likely can't join if

  • Patients with uveal or mucosal melanoma
  • Prior therapy with an ERK-, MEK-, RAF-, or RAS-inhibitor
  • Impairment of gastrointestinal (GI) function or GI disease that may significantly alter the absorption of study drug(s) (e.g., ulcerative diseases, uncontrolled nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, malabsorption syndrome, small bowel resection)
  • History or current evidence of retinal vein occlusion (RVO) or current risk factors for RVO (e.g., uncontrolled glaucoma or ocular hypertension, history of hyperviscosity or hypercoagulability syndrome)
  • LVEF <50%
  • Symptomatic CNS metastases that are neurologically unstable. Patients with controlled CNS metastases are eligible.
