Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To determine whether treatment with Combo 450 (LGX818 450mg QD plus MEK162 45mg BID) prolongs progression free survival (PFS) compared with vemurafenib in patients with BRAF V600 mutant locally advanced unresectable or metastatic melanoma.;Secondary Objective: Key Part 1: 1) Determine the contribution of MEK162 to the combination using PFS comparison of Combo 450 vs LGX818 Key part 2: 2) Further quantify the contribution of MEK162 to the combination using PFS comparison of Combo 300 vs LGX818 Other part specific -Compare/estimate the effect of (3) Combo 450 vs vemurafenib/(4) Combo 450 vs. LGX818 in overall survival (OS) in Part 1 -Estimate the safety and tolerability of (5) Combo 450 and LGX818 in part1, (6) Combo 300 vs. LGX818, (7) Combo 300 vs. Combo 450 in Part2 -Estimate the effect of (8) Combo 300 vs. LGX818 in OS in Part2 -Estimate the effect in PFS and OS of (9) Combo 300 vs. vemurafenib and (10) Combo 300 vs. Combo 450 in Part2 Other Part1 and 2 -Estimate (11) the effect of LGX818 vs. vemurafenibin PFS and OS (Refer to Pg 61, Section 3 of Protocol for full text);Primary end point(s): Progression free survival: 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 based on tumor assessment (RECIST version 1.1 criteria) as per Blinded Independent Review Committee (BIRC) and survival information. The local Investigator's assessments will be used as supportive analyses.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Approximately 2 years

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): - Overall Survival: time from the date of randomization to date of death due to any cause - Safety and tolerability: Adverse events and serious adverse events, changes in laboratory values, vital signs , ECGs, MUGA/echocardiogram and assessment of physical, dermatological and ocular examinations graded according to the NCI CTCAE v4.03 - Objective response rate: proportion of patient with a best overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). ORR will be calculated for confirmed and uncomfirmed responses separately. -Time to objective response: the time from date of randomization until first documented CR or PR. -Disease control rate: proportion of patient with a best overall response of CR, PR or stable disease (SD) -Duration of response: time from the date of first documented CR or PR to the first documented progression or death due to underlying cancer -Time to definitive 10% deterioration in the FACT-M melanoma subscale and global health status score of the EORTC QLQ-C30. -Change from baseline in the FACT-M melanoma subscale, EQ-5D-5L, global health status score of the EORTC QLQ-C30 other EORTC QLQ-C30 subscales. - Time to definitive 1 point deterioration in ECOG PS Change from baseline in ECOG PS -Plasma concentration-profiles of LGX818 and MEK162 and model based PK parameters ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Key part 1 1) about 2 years Key Part 2 2) about 3 years Other part specific -(3), (4) about 5.5. years -(5) about 2 years -(6), (7) about 3 years -(8) about 5.5. years -(9) about 3 for PFS and 5.5. for OS -(10) about 3 for PFS and 5.5. years for OS Other Part 1 and 2 -(11) about 2, 3 and 5 years -(12), (13), (14), (15), (16), (17) about 2 (for Combo 450, LGX818 and vemurafenib evaluation) and 3 years (for Combo 300 evaluation) -(18) about 2 (for Combo 450 and LGX818 evaluation) and 3 years (for Combo 300 evaluation)
