Open-label, multicenter safety study of vemurafenib in patients with BRAFV600 mutation–positive metastatic melanoma.
2017
9046 Background: Vemurafenib (VEM), a BRAF kinase inhibitor, has demonstrated high response rates and improved progression-free and overall survival in pts with BRAFV600mutation–positive metastatic melanoma (mM). We present interim results from predefined subgroups from a large multicenter, open-label safety study of VEM in pts with mM (NCT01307397). Methods: Pts with BRAFV600mutation–positive histologically confirmed mM received VEM (960 mg BID) as first-line therapy or subsequent to previous therapies. Assessments for safety and efficacy were made every 28 days. Results: As of Feb 29, 2012, 2,265 pts have received VEM. Pts had a median age of 54.0 (13-95) yrs and median time since diagnosis of mM of 6.2 (0-351.9) mos. 59% had received prior systemic therapy. Median time of exposure to VEM as of the cut-off date was 3 (0.03-11.24) mos for the overall population and majority of subgroups, and approximately 2.5 mos for pts with ECOG ≥2 and age ≥75 yrs. 1537 (68%) pts were still receiving VEM at the cut-off...
