Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Prior systemic therapy with taxanes or kinase inhibitors. Any prior therapy for metastatic disease must have been discontinued at least 4 weeks prior to initiation of dosing. 2. Major surgery or radiation therapy within 4 weeks of starting the study treatment (minor surgical procedures such as biopsies are allowed, however patients must have recovered). 3. Known inherited predisposition to bleeding or thrombosis and therapeutic anticoagulation (except low-dose heparin and/or heparin flush as needed for maintenance of an in-dwelling intravenous devise) or anti-platelet therapy (except for low-dose therapy with acetylsalicylic acid 2 o Prothrombin time (PT) and partial thromboplastin time (PTT): > 50% of deviation of institutional ULN 4.

History of abdominal fistula, gastrointestinal perforation, or intra-abdominal abscess within 6 months prior to randomization. 7. Serious, non-healing wound, ulcer, or bone fracture. 8. Known CNS disease. 9. Previous Grade 2 or higher sensory neuropathy. 10. History of or known spinal cord compression, or carcinomatous meningitis, or evidence of active brain metastases (e.g. stable for 150 and/or diastolic blood pressure > 100 mmHg on antihypertensive medications). 15. Symptomatic peripheral vascular disease. 16. Proteinuria at screening as demonstrated by urine dipstick for proteinuria = 2+ (patients discovered to have = 2+ proteinuria on dipstick urinalysis at baseline should undergo a 24 hour urine collection and must demonstrate = 1g of protein in 24 hours to be eligible). 17.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The objectives of this study are to characterize the safety and to estimate the efficacy of nintedanib when combined with paclitaxel chemotherapy compared with paclitaxel chemotherapy alone in patients with BRAF wildtype metastatic melanoma not previously treated with taxanes or kinase inhibitors. The primary endpoint of Phase I is the definition of the Maximum Tolerable Dose (MTD) of the nintedanib/paclitaxel combination treatment. The primary endpoint of Phase II is the progression-free survival (PFS) according to RECIST v1.1. ; Secondary Objective: Overall survival • Safety and toxicity (graded according to CTCAE, Version 4.0) • Quality of Life (EORTC QLQ-C30) during therapy (i.e. until end of treatment visit) • Translational research project: identification and evaluation of prognostic and predictive biomarkers by analysis of tumor tissue and serum samples ; Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint of Phase I is the definition of the Maximum Tolerable Dose (MTD) of the nintedanib/paclitaxel combination treatment. The primary endpoint of Phase II is the progression-free survival (PFS) according to RECIST v1.1. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 12 month after start of treatment

Secondary
