Brief Summary in Lay Language

COMBI-r is a non-interventional, prospective study to monitor the treatment in daily practice with Dabrafenib and Trametinib in combination (D + T) according to prescription of the attending physician, i. Patients must receive the treatment according to the application area in the respective specialist information of Tafinlar® and Mekinist®. Approx. 720 patients with non-resectable or metastatic melanoma with BRAF V600 mutation from approximately 60 centers in Germany are to be introduced and documented. The documentation of the treatment of patients in this non-interventional study starts with the treatment start with dabrafenib and trametinib in Combination according to prescription by the doctor. If a patient who has already started treatment with Dabrafenib and Trametinib (in a maximum 12-week period) prior to consent to participate in the study, the documentation can and should be retrospective for the time since the onset of treatment Inclusion continues to be prospective. Documentation ends when the patient withdraws or revokes his consent, or when the sponsor closes and ends the entire study, eg Because the required number of patients with the minimum observation period was reached or for other, unforeseeable reasons.

Brief Summary in Scientific Language

With the number of licensed treatments for advanced melanoma growing in the past years, physicians now have a broader choice of therapeutic options to tailor treatment to the patient. However, it is yet not know which sequence of the indicated treatments is the optimal therapeutic strategy. In addition, most of the studies have not covered the entire patient population, as it would be the case in the clinical routine. For example, patients with a more unfavorable performance status, cardiac, hematologic, renal or hepatic impairments, pre-treatments, certain tumor locations or symptomatic brain metastases are mostly excluded from the pivotal trials.
With the marketing authorization of Tafinlar ® and Mekinist ® for Europe to treat patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma in combination therapy, it is now feasible to complement the data from pivotal COMBI-d and COMBI-v clinical trials with real-world data from a non-interventional study (NIS) in a large European market.
COMBI-r is designed to include patients which have not been studied in the pivotal trials and report efficiency separately for these, while it will also report real-life safety and tolerability for the entire population the combination is indicated for.

Primary Outcome

PFS (progression-free survival), defined as the time from the start of treatment with Dabrafenib + Trametinib until the date of the first documented progression of the disease or death (any reason).
PFS rates after 6, 12, 18 months follow-up.
DCR (disease control rate), calculated as the proportion of treated patients who received a best clinical response from complete remission (CR) or partial remission (PR, partial remission), or a stabilization of the disease ( SD, stable disease) (eg 12, 24 months after initiation of therapy)
OS (overall survival), defined as the time from the start of treatment with D + T to death (of any reason).
OS rates, e.g. 12, 24 months after initiation of therapy.
Multivariate analysis of clinical and biological markers for the identification of predictive factors for long-term use, defined as control of the disease (CR, PR or SD) 12, 24 or, as the case may be, 36 months after initiation of therapy
DOT (duration of therapy, therapy duration), calculated from the start of treatment with D + T up to and including the last day of the last dose
Percentage of patients who received other systemic therapies in the advanced, non-resectable or metastatic stage before initiation of therapy with D + T as well as the percentage of patients with other pre-treatment regimens (e.g., radiation, local therapies)
Frequency (by type) and number of pretreatments.
Frequency (by type) of treatment after therapy with D + T
Percentage of treated patients with one or more dose reduction (s).
Median duration of dose reductions, calculated as from the date of the modified dose until the date of return to the originally prescribed standard dose.
Reasons for dose reduction.
Calculated average dose (according to prescription).
Changes in the course of the therapy with D + T of the scores on the quality of life, measured by the instruments: EQ5D, Facit-F
Frequency and severity of adverse events.
Percentage of patients with discontinuation due to an undesirable event (by severity).
Percentage of different methods for mutation analysis
Frequency of post-test with a second method in case of negative initial testing
Panel of biomarkers studied
