Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Progression-free Survival (PFS) as Assessed by the Investigator
PFS is defined as the interval of time between the date of randomization and the earlier of the date of disease progression or the date of death due to any cause. Disease progression was based on radiographic or photographic evidence, and assessments were made by the investigator according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. PD is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as a reference, the smallest sum of diameters recorded since the treatment started (e.g., percent change from nadir, where nadir is defined as the smallest sum of diameters recorded since treatment start). In addition, the sum must have an absolute increase from nadir of 5 millimeters (mm). For participants who did not progress or die, PFS was censored at the date of last contact. Data are presented as median and 96% confidence interval.
Progression-free Survival (PFS) as Assessed by an Independent Radiologist: Randomized Phase
PFS is defined as the interval of time between the date of randomization and the earlier of the date of disease progression or the date of death due to any cause. Disease progression was based on radiographic or photographic evidence, and assessments were made by an independent radiologist according to RECIST version 1.1. PD is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as a reference, the smallest sum of diameters recorded since the treatment started (e.g., percent change from nadir, where nadir is defined as the smallest sum of diameters recorded since treatment start). In addition, the sum must have an absolute increase from nadir of 5 mm. For participants who did not progress or die, PFS was censored at the date of last contact.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Overall Survival
Overall survival is defined as the interval of time between the date of randomization and the date of death due to any cause. For participants who did not die, overall survival was censored at the date of last contact.
Number of Participants With a Best Overall Response of Confirmed Complete Response (CR) or Confirmed Partial Response (PR) as Assessed by the Investigator: Randomized Phase
A participant was defined as a responder if he/she achieved either a CR (the disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes must be <10 mm in the short axis.) or PR (at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as a reference, the Baseline sum of the diameters [e.g., percent change from Baseline]). Response was evaluated by an investigator per RECIST, version 1.1. A participant without a post-Baseline assessment of response was considered a non-responder. Confirmation, per RECIST version 1.1, requires a confimatory disease assessment of CR or PR at least 28 days after the initial disease assessment of CR or PR.
Number of Participants With a Best Overall Response of Confirmed CR or PR as Assessed by an Independent Radiologist: Randomized Phase
A participant was defined as a responder if he/she achieved either a CR (the disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes must be <10 mm in the short axis.) or PR (at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as a reference, the Baseline sum of the diameters [e.g., percent change from Baseline]). Response was evaluated by an independent radiologist per RECIST, version 1.1. A participant without a post-Baseline assessment of response was considered a non-responder. Confirmation, per RECIST version 1.1, requires a confimatory disease assessment of CR or PR at least 28 days after the initial disease assessment of CR or PR.
Duration of Response as Assessed by the Investigator: Randomized Phase
Duration of response for participants with either a CR (the disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes must be <10 mm in the short axis.) or PR (at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as a reference, the Baseline sum of the diameters [e.g., percent change from Baseline]) was defined as the time from the first documented evidence of a PR or CR until the first documented sign of PD or death due to any cause. PD is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as a reference, the smallest sum of diameters recorded since the treatment started (e.g., percent change from nadir, where nadir is defined as the smallest sum of diameters recorded since treatment start). In addition, the sum must have an absolute increase from nadir of 5 mm.

In addition, the sum must have an absolute increase from nadir of 5 mm. NA indicates that data is not available.
Progression-free Survival (PFS2) as Assessed by the Investigator: Crossover Phase
PFS2 is defined as the time from the first dose of GSK2118436, in participants randomized to DTIC who crossed over to GSK2118436 after initial progression, to the earliest date of radiographic or photographic disease progression or death due to any cause. Disease progression was based on radiographic or photographic evidence, and assessments were made by the investigator according to RECIST version 1.1. PD is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as a reference, the smallest sum of diameters recorded since the treatment started (e.g., percent change from nadir, where nadir is defined as the smallest sum of diameters recorded since treatment start).

In addition, the sum must have an absolute increase from nadir of 5 mm.
Number of Participants With Non-melanoma Skin Lesions: Randomized Phase
Dermatological examinations were performed by the investigator, or at the discretion of the investigator, referred to a dermatologist. The number of participants with non-melanoma skin lessions was assessed from the time of Screening until study completion or discontinuation from the study for any reason.
Agreement Rate for V600E Mutation Validation of the BRAF Mutation Assay
Analytical and clinical validation of the companion diagnostic (cDx) assay was performed to determine the extent of agreement between the bioMerieux cDx assay (THxID BRAF Assay) and the Clinical Trial Assay (CTA) to detect BRAF mutations to determine participant eligibility into the study. Skin tissue samples collected at the Screening visit were used for this analysis. Multiple specimen per participant were analyzed.
