A Clinical Trial of Three Study Medicines (Encorafenib, Binimetinib, and Pembrolizumab) in Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Melanoma
Study Purpose
The purpose of this study is to learn about the effects of three study medicines (encorafenib, binimetinib, and pembrolizumab) given together for the treatment of melanoma that:
- - is advanced or metastatic (spread to other parts of the body); - has a certain type of abnormal gene called "BRAF"; and.
- - has not received prior treatment.
Recruitment Criteria
Accepts Healthy Volunteers
Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms |
No |
Study Type
An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies. |
Interventional |
Eligible Ages | 18 Years and Over |

- - Mucosal or ocular melanoma.
- - Diagnosis of immunodeficiency or an active autoimmune disease that required systemic treatment in the past 2 years (ie, with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids, or immunosuppressive drugs).

Phase
Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use. |

This study will compare the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of encorafenib and binimetinib plus pembrolizumab (Triplet Arm) versus placebo plus pembrolizumab (Control Arm) in participants with metastatic or unresectable locally advanced BRAF V600E/K mutation-positive melanoma. The study will have an open-label safety lead-in (SLI) phase to determine the safety recommend Phase 3 dose (RP3D) and pharmacokinetics (PK) of encorafenib and binimetinib plus pembrolizumab combination therapy prior to initiation of the randomized Phase 3 part of the study. Two dose levels of encorafenib in combination with binimetinib plus pembrolizumab will be explored in parallel. A minimum of 12 evaluable participants will be enrolled per dose level. During the double-blind randomized Phase 3 part of the study, approximately 216 eligible participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to the Triplet Arm (at RP3D determined in the SLI) or Control Arm (approximately 108 participants per arm). Randomization will be stratified by prior systemic adjuvant therapy and stage of disease by AJCC (ED8).
