Target number of participants
Planned Sample Size: 123; UK Sample Size: 123; Description: 123 evaluable patients will be randomised to arms A, B and C across 13 UK centres. Subjects will be randomised 1:1:1 between the 3 arms.
Participant exclusion criteria
1. Patients may not have received prior chemotherapy for uveal melanoma. This includes patients who have received isolated hepatic perfusion of chemotherapy. Patients who have received prior immunotherapy or nonchemotherapy locoregional therapy for liver metastases, but who have documented evidence of progression of metastatic disease would however be eligible
2. Patients who have a known or suspected brain metastases or spinal cord compression, unless asymptomatic, has been treated with surgery and / or radiation, and has been stable without requiring corticosteroids nor anticonvulsant medications for at least 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study medication
3. Prior exposure to MEK, Ras, or Raf inhibitors or history of hypersensitivity to any excipient agents.
4. History of another malignancy unless diseasefree for 3 years. Patients, who have had a completely resected nonmelanoma skin cancer, are eligible
5. Any permitted previous treatment must have been greater than 21 days prior to study treatment starting and all toxicities from previous treatments should have resolved
6. Symptomatic or untreated leptomeningeal or brain metastases or spinal cord compression. Treated brain metastases must have been stable for at least 1 month
7. Current use of a prohibited medication
8. Cardiac conditions as follows:
8.1. Uncontrolled hypertension (BP =150/95 mmHg despite medical therapy)
8.2. Acute coronary syndrome within 6 months prior to starting treatment
8.3. Baseline Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) below the LLN or <55% measured by echocardiography or institution’s LLN for MUGA
8.4. Atrial fibrillation with a ventricular rate >100 bpm on ECG at rest
8.5. Symptomatic heart failure NYHA Class IIIV, prior or current cardiomyopathy, or severe valvular heart disease
8.6. Prior or current cardiomyopathy including but not limited to the following:
8.7. Known hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
8.8. Known arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy
8.9. Previous moderate or severe impairment of left ventricular systolic function (LVEF <45% on echocardiography or equivalent on MuGA) even if full recovery has occurred
8.10.Uncontrolled angina (Canadian Cardiovascular Society grade IIIV despite medical therapy)
8.11. Acute coronary syndrome within 6 months prior to starting treatment
8.12. QTcF >450ms or other factors that increase the risk of QT prolongation
9. Ophthalmological conditions as follows (unless in the eye involved by uveal melanoma):
9.1. Intraocular pressure >21 mmHg, or uncontrolled glaucoma (irrespective of intraocular pressure)
9.2. Current or past history of retinal pigment epithelial detachment (RPED)/central serous retinopathy(CSR) or retinal vein occlusion
10. Uncontrolled intercurrent illness or uncontrolled systemic disease including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection – including any patient known to have hepatitis B, hepatitis C or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable/uncontrolled angina pectoris, uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia, QTc prolongation, active bleeding diatheses, renal transplant or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
11. Female patients who are breastfeeding
12. Male or female patients of reproductive potential who are not employing an effective method of contraception
