Abstract 1885

Background

BRAF and MEK inhibitors dabrafenib (D) and trametinib (T) have transformed BRAFV600-mutant melanoma patients’ (pts) treatment. In a large prospective trial of pts treated with combination D+T, which also included pts with brain metastasis (BM), we assessed factors associated with progression and stratified the population into risk groups using regression tree analysis (RTA).

Methods

This phase IIIb single arm, open label, multicenter, French study included in 40 centers pts with histologically confirmed unresectable stage IIIc or IV BRAFV600-mutant melanoma. Selection criteria allowed presence of BM, ECOG ≤2, previous advanced melanoma treatments (except BRAFi+MEKi combination). Progression-free survival (PFS) was estimated using the Kaplan Meier analysis and modeled with multivariate Cox regression model. Risk subgroups were identified using an exponential RTA. Significance was set at p < 0.05.

Results

Between March 2015 and November 2016, 914 pts were screened and 856 received at least 1 dose of D+T. Overall, 92% of pts had AJCC stage IV melanoma, 38% ECOG ≥1 and 32% BM. Among the 587 pts with known LDH at baseline, 38% had >ULN. Median PFS was 8.02 months (95%CI, 7.33-8.77). Significant independent factors associated with lower PFS were ECOG ≥1, elevated serum LDH, ≥3 metastatic sites, and presence of BM (Table). Pts with <3 metastatic sites, ECOG 0 and absence of BM had the highest probability of PFS at 6 (83% [95% CI, 76-87]) and 12 months (56% [95% CI, 47-64]). No unexpected AE were reported.Table:

Conclusions

This is to date the largest prospective study in advanced BRAFV600-mutant melanoma pts treated with D+T. The study was carried out in conditions close to the real-world. We confirm findings of registration trials that LDH, ECOG and ≥3 metastatic sites are associated with shorter PFS, but the real-world setting introduces BM as a major prognostic factor.
