Summary

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of cobimetinib plus atezolizumab in participants with BRAFV600 wild-type melanoma with central nervous system (CNS) metastases and of cobimetinib plus atezolizumab and vemurafenib in BRAFV600 mutation-positive melanoma patients with CNS metastases.

Disease-specific inclusion criteria:

  • Histologically confirmed melanoma with radiologically confirmed brain metastases
  • Documented BRAFV600 mutation status of melanoma tumour tissue using a validated genetic test.
  • Measurable brain metastases
  • Prior systemic therapy for metastatic melanoma is allowed with exceptions as detailed in the exclusion criteria
  • Prior SRT or surgical therapy of ≤ 10 brain metastases is allowed but prior WBRT is not allowed
  • Adverse effects of all prior systemic or local treatment must have either returned to baseline or become stable and manageable prior to initiation of study treatment.

General inclusion criteria:

  • Able to comply with the study protocol, in the investigator's judgment
  • ECOG Performance Status ≤ 2
  • Life expectancy of > 3 months
  • Willing and able to complete health and quality of life questionnaires required by the protocol
  • Adequate hematologic and end-organ function
  • Female patients of childbearing potential and male patients with partners of childbearing potential must agree to always use two effective forms of contraception during the course of this study and for at least six months after completion of study therapy.
  • Male patients must agree to refrain from donating sperm for at least six months after the last dose of cobimetinib

Exclusion criteria

Disease-specific exclusion criteria:

  • Ocular melanoma

  • Any anti-cancer therapy, including chemotherapy, hormonal therapy and radiotherapy, within two weeks prior to initiation of study treatment
  • Patients assigned to Cohort 2 only: Concomitant treatment with anticonvulsants other than gabapentin, vigabatrin and levetiracetam
  • Patients assigned to Cohort 2 only: acetaminophen is prohibited within seven days prior to initiation of study treatment unless the patient has an absolute contraindication to the to the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or aspirin
  • Active malignancy (other than melanoma) or a prior malignancy within the past three years

General exclusion criteria:

  • Known risk factors for ocular toxicity
  • History of clinically significant cardiac dysfunction
  • Inability to swallow medications
