Brief summary

This multi-center study evaluates the safety and efficacy of vemurafenib in participants with BRAF V600 mutation-positive, surgically incurable, and unresectable Stage IIIC or IV (American Joint Committee on Cancer \[AJCC\]) metastatic melanoma.

Interventions

DRUGVemurafenib

Participants will receive continuous oral doses of vemurafenib 960 mg (four 240 mg tablets) twice daily in each 28-day treatment cycle until the development of progressive disease, unacceptable toxicity, consent withdrawal, protocol violations endangering participant's safety, death, or study termination by the Sponsor, whichever occurs first.

Inclusion criteria

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Participants Experiencing Any Grade 3 or 4 Adverse Events (AEs) as Determined by National Cancer Institute-Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) Version 4.0Baseline up to 28 days post end of treatment (maximum up to 46 months)The intensity of AEs were graded on a 5-point scale (Grade 1 to 5) according to the NCI-CTCAE version 4.0, where Grade 1 indicates Mild severity and Grade 5 indicates Death. The CTCAE defines Grades 3 and 4 as follows: Grade 3 means Severe; Inability to work or perform normal daily activity; treatment or medical intervention is indicated in order to improve the overall well-being or symptoms; delaying the onset of treatment is not putting the survival of the participant at direct risk. Grade 4 means Life-threatening, Disabling; based on extreme limitation in activity; significant medical intervention/therapy required; and hospitalization probable.
Percentage of Participants With at Least 1 AE Leading to Study Drug Interruption or Drug DiscontinuationBaseline up to 28 days post end of treatment (maximum up to 46 months)An AE was considered as any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease associated with the use of the study drug, whether or not considered related to the study drug. Pre existing conditions that worsened during the study and laboratory or clinical tests that resulted in a change in treatment or discontinuation from study drug were reported as adverse events. Percentage of participants with dose interruption or discontinuation due to AE was presented.
Percentage of Participants With AEs of Special InterestBaseline up to 28 days post end of treatment (maximum up to 46 months)AEs of special interest included cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), rash, photosensitivity, liver injury, arthralgia, fatigue, gastrointestinal (GI) polyps, pancreatitis, potentiation of radiation toxicity, prolongation of cardiac repolarization or arrhythmia, non-cutaneous SCC and other primary malignancies (other than cutaneous SCC or new primary melanoma).
Mean Cumulative Dose of VemurafenibBaseline up to end of treatment or death (maximum up to 46 months)
Duration of Vemurafenib TreatmentBaseline up to end of treatment or death (maximum upto 46 months)Exposure excluding treatment interruptions: Duration during which participants actually took vemurafenib. Any time without dose-taken due to adverse events, non-compliance or any other reasons was not counted. Exposure including treatment interruptions: date of last dose - date of first dose + 1; duration during which participants actually took vemurafenib as well as duration on which medication was not taken were included in this calculation.
Mean Total Vemurafenib Dose Per DayBaseline up to end of treatment or death (maximum up to 46 months)Exposure excluding treatment interruptions: Duration during which participants actually took vemurafenib. Any time without dose-taken due to adverse events, non-compliance or any other reasons was not counted. Exposure including treatment interruptions: date of last dose - date of first dose + 1; duration during which participants actually took vemurafenib as well as duration on which medication was not taken were included in this calculation. Average total dose per day: total actual dose taken divided by total actual days on treatment.
Dose Intensity of VemurafenibBaseline up to end of treatment or death (maximum upto 46 months)Dose intensity was defined as (total actual doses taken/total planned doses) \*100, where total planned doses = prescribed doses \* planned days on treatment, where planned days on treatment were defined as the interval between date of first dose and date of last dose.
