Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To determine whether treatment with MEK162 prolongs PFS as compared to dacarbazine in patients with advanced unresectable, or metastatic NRAS mutation-positive cutaneous melanoma who are previously untreated or who have progressed on or after prior treatment with any number of lines of immunotherapy for unresectable or metastatic disease. ;Secondary Objective: Key secondary: To compare Overall Survival (OS) between treatment arms Other secondary: - To compare the Overall Response Rate (ORR) between treatment arms - To describe the time to objective response (TTR) in the two treatment arms - To describe the duration of objective response (DOR) between treatment arms - To compare the disease control rate (DCR) between treatment arms - To assess assess the safety and tolerability of MEK162 in this patient population using NCI CTCAE v4.03;Primary end point(s): Progression free survival (PFS) PFS is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the first documented disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. PFS will be determined by a Blinded Independent Review Committee (BIRC). The local Investigator's assessments will be used as supportive analyses.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The final PFS analysis is expected approximately 16 months after FPFV.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1. Final analysis is expected to occur 21 m after FPFV 2. Approximately 16 months after the FPFV 3. Approximately 16 months after the FPFV 4. Approximately 16 months after the FPFV 5. Approximately 16 months after the FPFV 6. Approximately 16 months after the FPFV 7. Approximately 16 months after the FPFV 8. Approximately 16 months after the FPFV 9. Approximately 16 months after the FPFV 10. Approximately 16 months after the FPFV ;Secondary end point(s): 1. Overall Survival (OS) To compare OS between treatment arms. OS is calculated as the timefrom date of randomization to date of death due to any cause. 2. Overall Response Rate (ORR) ORR calculated as the proportion of patient with a best overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). ORR will be calculated for confirmed and unconfirmed responses separately. 3. Time to Objective Response (TTR) TTR calculated as the time from date of randomization until first documented complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). 4. Duration of objective response (DOR) DOR calculated as the time from the date of first documented CR or PR to the first documented progression or death due to underlying cancer 5. Disease control rate (DCR) DCR calculated as the proportion of patient with a best overall response of CR, PR or stable disease (SD) 6. Number of patients with adverse events To assess the safety and tolerability of MEK162 in this patient, changes in hematology and chemistry values, vital signs, electrocardiograms (ECGs), MUGA(Multi Gated Acquisition Scan)/echocardiogram and assessment of physical and ocular examinations graded according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v4.03 7. Number of patients with serious adverse events To assess the safety and tolerability of MEK162 in this patient, changes in hematology and chemistry values, vital signs, ECGs, MU
