Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Intracranial Response (IR) Rate in Cohort A
The intracranial response rate is defined as the percentage of subjects achieving a confirmed intracranial CR or PR. This is based on investigator-assessed best intracranial response.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Intracranial Response Rate of Cohorts B, C and D
The intracranial response rate is defined as the percentage of subjects achieving a confirmed intracranial CR or PR. This is based on investigator-assessed best intracranial response. No hypothesis testing completed for cohort A, B,C and D
Disease Control for Intracranial, Extracranial and Overall Response for Each Cohort
Disease Control rate is defined as the percentage of subjects achieving a confirmed intracranial/extracranial/overall CR or PR or SD or Non-CR/Non-PD. This is based on investigator-assessed response. No hypothesis testing completed for cohort A, B,C and D
Extracranial Response Rate (ER) for Each Cohort
Extracranial Response Rate was defined as the percentage of participants with Complete response (CR) or Partial response (PR) at anytime. This is based on investigator-assessed response. No hypothesis testing completed for cohort A,B,C and D
Overall Response (OR) for Each Cohort
the number of subjects with a confirmed overall Complete response (CR) or Partial response (PR) by investigator assessment using the Response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST 1.1 criteria). To determine the overall response, all target and non-target lesions will be assessed using modified RECIST 1.1 criteria.
Duration of Intracranial, Extracranial and Overall Response for Each Cohort
Duration of intracranial, extracranial and overall response, are defined as the time from first documented evidence of CR or PR until time of first documented intracranial, extracranial, or overall disease progression. No hypothesis testing completed for cohort A,B,C and D
Progression-free Survival (PFS) for Each Cohort Based on Investigator Assessment
PFS is defined as the interval between first dose and the earliest date of disease progression or death due to any cause. No hypothesis testing completed for cohort A,B,C and D
Overall Survival (OS) for Each Cohort
Overall survival (OS) is defined as the time from the first dose until death due to any cause. No hypothesis testing completed for cohort A,B,C and D

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This is a multi-cohort, open label, Phase II study with Dabrafenib (GSK2118436) and Trametinib (GSK1120212) combination therapy in subject with BRAF mutation-positive melanoma that has metastasized to the brain.
