Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1.Advanced melanoma defined as unresectable locally advanced or metastatic disease 2.The presence of one or more clinically or radiologically measurable lesions at least 10mm in size 3.Age 18 or greater 4.ECOG performance status 0 or 1 5.Life expectancy greater than 12 weeks 6.At least 28 days since any major surgery 7.The capacity to understand the patient information sheet and ability to provide written informed consent 8.Willingness and ability to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plans, laboratory tests and other study procedures 9.Women must not be pregnant or lactating with no intention of pregnancy during study treatment. Women of child bearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test prior to study entry (even if surgically sterilised). Men and women of childbearing potential must use adequate birth control measures (e.g. abstinence, oral contraceptives, intrauterine device, barrier method with spermicide, implantable or injectable contraceptives or surgical sterilisation) for the duration of the study and should continue such precautions for 6 months after receiving the last study treatment 10.Serum alanine transaminase (ALT) =2.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN), total serum bilirubin =1.5 x ULN 11.Serum creatinine =1.5 x ULN 12.Serum lipase and amylase =65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 18
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1.Intracranial disease, unless there has been radiological evidence of stable intracranial disease > 6 months. In the case of a solitary brain metastasis, evidence of a disease-free interval of at least 3 months post surgery. All patients previously treated for brain metastases must be stable off corticosteroid therapy for at least 28 days 2.Women who are pregnant, nursing, or planning to become pregnant during the course of the trial 3.Men who plan to father a child during the course of the trial 4.Use of any investigational drug within 30 days prior to screening (both cancer and non cancer treatments) 5.Use of herbal or chinese medication 6.Use of therapeutic coumarin derivatives (ie warfarin, acenoucumarol, phenprocoumon) 7.Significant cardiac disease 8.Severe and/or uncontrolled medical disease 9.Known chronic liver disease 10.Known HIV infection 11.Previous radiotherapy to 25% or more of the bone marrow 12.Radiation therapy in the 4 weeks prior to study entry 13.Any malabsorption syndrome (i.e. partial gastrectomy, small bowel resection, Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis).
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: Is the combination of axitinib and metformin efficacious in BRAF mutant advanced melanoma?;Secondary Objective: What is the toxicity of the combination? What molecular changes result in tumours as a consequence?;Primary end point(s): Efficacy of the combination of axitinib and metformin;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Proportion of patients who have progression free survival after 6 months.Progression free survival times will be measured from the date of enrolment into the treatment phase until the first date (following start of treatment) of either death or confirmed progressive disease according to RECIST. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): 1.Response rate at 12 weeks 2.Overall survival 3.Toxicity of treatment 4.Correlation between molecular changes and response to treatment and survival;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: There will be too few instances of progression/death in 24 patients in each cohort to be able to make confident statements about the relationship of outcome to these factors using PFS at 6 months as an endpoint. The effect sizes from such analyses will therefore only be presented together with their 95% confidence intervals as a guide to the ranges within which these effects might lie. | — |
