Access Study of Trametinib for Subjects With Advanced Unresectable (Stage IIIc) or Distant Metastatic (Stage IV) BRAF V600E/K Mutation Positive Cutaneous Melanoma
France
Plain-language summary
This is a single arm open label, multicenter, non randomized, access study of trametinib for subjects with histologically confirmed cutaneous melanoma with a BRAF V600E/K positive mutation that is either advanced unresectable (stage IIIc) or distant metastatic (stage IV). Trametinib may be given as monotherapy or in combination since first line metastatic melanoma as per inclusion criteria. Subjects who received prior BRAF inhibitor may be included if they have not progressed under such treatment or if they have presented limited progression as per eligibility criteria. It is estimated that between 250 and 400 subjects with histologically confirmed cutaneous melanoma with a BRAF V600E/K positive mutation that is either advanced unresectable (stage IIIc) or distant metastatic (stage IV) will be enrolled.

Inclusion Criteria:
* Provides signed and dated informed consent, with age at the time of consent \>=18 years.
* Has histologically confirmed cutaneous melanoma BRAF V600E/K positive mutation either unresectable (stage IIIc) or distant metastatic (stage IV).
* Is not eligible for enrolment in any other ongoing relevant hypothesis testing clinical study for metastatic melanoma or, if eligible, is so geographically distant from a participating site that attending frequent clinic visits is not feasible.
* Has not participated in the following GSK sponsored clinical studies (COMBI-v: MEK116513, COMBI-d: MEK115306, COMBI-AD: BRF115532) for melanoma indication prior to participating in this open label access study.
* Is able to swallow and retain oral medication.
* For subjects with active brain metastases: the subject does not require or is ineligible for immediate local treatment.
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0 to 2 and in stable clinical condition. NOTE: subject in rapidly deteriorating clinical condition prior to start of therapy should not be considered for this open label access study. ECOG 3 subjects may be included provided the subject is clinically stable on the investigator's judgement.
* Does not require treatment with another anti-cancer therapy while on this open label access study (except dabrafenib if in combination with trametinib).
* Does not require treatment with prohibited concomitant medications.
* Does not have any medical…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
