Study Summary

This trial is testing a new combination cancer treatment in people who have melanoma that has spread or can't be removed by surgery.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with untreated BRAFv600 mutation-positive advanced melanoma. They must be able to use effective contraception, have no other cancers or severe diseases, and not be pregnant or breastfeeding. Participants should have a life expectancy of at least 18 weeks and an ECOG status of 0 or 1, indicating they are fully active or restricted in physically strenuous activity but ambulatory.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the effectiveness and safety of combining Atezolizumab (an immunotherapy drug) with Cobimetinib and Vemurafenib (targeted cancer therapies) versus placebo versions in patients who haven't had systemic anti-cancer treatment for their melanoma. It's a Phase III trial where participants are randomly assigned to either the drug combination or placebo group.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include immune-related reactions affecting organs, high blood pressure due to Cobimetinib, skin rash from Vemurafenib, liver problems, fatigue, joint pain, sun sensitivity, and possible infusion-related reactions from Atezolizumab.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Atezolizumab Placebo + Cobimetinib + VemurafenibExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
Run-In Period (Cycle1=28 days): Participants will receive vemurafenib 960 milligrams (mg) (four, 240 mg tablets) orally (PO) twice a day (BID) along with cobimetinib 60 mg (three, 20 mg tablets) PO once a day (QD) on Days 1 to 21 followed by vemurafenib 960 mg (four, 240 mg tablets) PO BID on Days 22 to 28. Triple Combination Period (Cycle 1 onwards): Participants will receive ATZ placebo by intravenous (IV) infusion on Day 1 and 15, cobimetinib 60 mg (three, 20 mg tablets) PO QD on Days 1 to 21, and vemurafenib 960 mg (four, 240 mg tablets) PO BID on Days 1 to 28 of each 28-day cycle. Study treatment will continue until investigator-determined disease progression, death, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or pregnancy, whichever occurs first.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What are the government's official thoughts on Atezolizumab?

"Atezolizumab is classified as a Phase 3 medication, meaning that while there is data supporting its efficacy, multiple rounds of testing have also confirmed its safety. Our team rates it with a 3."

Answered by AI

What are Atezolizumab's most common indications?

"Atezolizumab is a medication that has been approved to treat small cell lung cancer, but it can also be used off-label to manage metastatic melanoma, non-small cell lung carcinoma, and unresectable melanoma."

Answered by AI

Is this a clinical trial that is breaking new ground?

"Global clinical trial data shows that there are 401 ongoing studies involving Atezolizumab across 74 countries and 1751 cities. The first Atezolizumab trial was sponsored by Hoffmann-La Roche in 2008. That study completed Phase 2 drug approval with 720 participants. Since then, 143 more trials have been conducted."

Answered by AI

How many people are currently enrolled in this clinical trial?

"Unfortunately, this study is not enrolling patients at the moment. However, it is important to note that this trial was originally posted on 1/13/2017 and was most recently edited on 10/4/2022. There are presently 781 clinical trials actively enrolling patients with melanoma and 401 trials for Atezolizumab actively enrolling patients."
