Vemurafenib in Chinese patients with BRAFV600 mutation–positive unresectable or metastatic melanoma: an open-label, multicenter phase I study

Résumé

BACKGROUND: kinase approved in more than 90 countries, based on results obtained primarily in Caucasian patients. Limited data are available regarding the efficacy and safety of vemurafenib in Asian patients. METHODS: mutation-positive unresectable or metastatic melanoma. The study included two cohorts: a pharmacokinetic cohort (n = 20) and an expansion cohort (n = 26). RESULTS: After 21 days of dosing, vemurafenib demonstrated marked accumulation and relatively constant steady-state exposure over the dosing period. Confirmed best overall response rate was 52.2% (95% CI 37.0-67.1%). Median progression-free survival was 8.3 months (95% CI 5.7-10.9%); median overall survival was 13.5 months (95% CI 12.2%-not estimable). The most common adverse events were dermatitis acneiform, arthralgia, diarrhea, blood cholesterol level increase, blood bilirubin level increase, melanocytic nevus, and alopecia. A total of nine grade 3 or 4 adverse events were reported in seven patients (15.2%). CONCLUSION: Overall, vemurafenib showed a favorable benefit-risk profile among Chinese patients. Pharmacokinetics, safety, and efficacy were generally consistent with those reported in Caucasian patients. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov identification: NCT01910181 . Registered 29 July 2013, prospectively registered.
