Read time: 1 mins
Last updated:1st Jan 2013

This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase III study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of vemurafenib alone and vemurafenib in combination with cobimetinib (GDC-0973), a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MEK) inhibitor, in previously untreated BRAF V600 mutation-positive patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic melanoma. Patients will be randomized to one of two treatment arms, Arm A: vemurafenib 960 mg twice a day (days 1-28 of each cycle) and placebo (days 1-21 of each cycle); Arm B: vemurafenib 960 mg twice a day (days 1-28 of each cycle) and cobimetinib (GDC-0973) 60 mg once daily (days 1-21 of each cycle). Patients will receive treatment until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent.
