BackgroundVemurafenib, a selective inhibitor of BRAF kinase, is approved for the treatment of adult stage IIIc/IV BRAF V600 mutation-positive melanoma. We conducted a phase I, open-label, dose-escalation study in pediatric patients aged 12-17 years with this tumor type (NCT01519323). ProcedurePatients received vemurafenib orally until disease progression. Dose escalation was conducted using a 3 + 3 design. Patients were monitored for dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) during the first 28 days of treatment to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). Safety/tolerability, tumor response, and pharmacokinetics were evaluated. ResultsSix patients were enrolled (720mg twice daily [BID], n=3; 960mg BID [n=3]). The study was terminated prematurely due to low enrollment. No DLTs were observed; thus, the MTD could not be determined. All patients experienced at least one adverse event (AE); the most common were diarrhea, headache, photosensitivity, rash, nausea, and fatigue. Three patients experienced serious AEs, one patient developed secondary cutaneous malignancies, and five patients died following disease progression. Mean steady-state plasma concentrations of vemurafenib following 720mg and 960mg BID dosing were similar or higher, respectively, than in adults. There were no objective responses. Median progression-free survival and overall survival were 4.4months (95% confidence interval [CI]=2.7-5.2) and 8.1 months (95% CI=5.1-12.0), respectively. ConclusionsA recommended and effective dose of vemurafenib for patients aged 12-17 years with metastatic or unresectable melanoma was not identified. Extremely low enrollment in this trial highlights the importance of considering the inclusion of adolescents with adult cancers in adult trials.
