§ Dose: 150 mg orally twice daily without food § Indication: As a single agent or in combination with trametinib for the treatment of patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma with BRAF V600E mutation as detected by an FDA- approved test. § Warnings: New primary skin cancers, tumor promotion, hemorrhage, venous thromboembolism, cardiomyopathy, ocular toxicity, febrile reactions, skin toxicity, hypergylcemia, embryo- fetal toxicity, G6-PD deficiency § Toxicities: Most common adverse reactions (≥ 20%) for dabrafenib as a single agent are hyperkeratosis, headache, pyrexia, arthralgia, papilloma, alopecia, and palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia syndrome § Drug-drug interactions
- Substrate of CYP3A4 and CYP2C9
- Induces CYP3A4 and CYP2C9

BRAF Inhibitor: Dabrafenib BREAK-3 Front-Line Study Design
Hauschild A, et al. ASCO 2012, Abstract LBA8500.
Screened N = 733 Dabrafenib 150 mg twice daily n = 187 Dacarbazine 1,000 mg/m2 IV every 3 weeks n = 63 Enrolled n = 250
3:1 randomization
Stratification factors: unresectable stage III, stage IV; M1a + M1b vs. M1c
§ Secondary objectives: OS, ORR in both groups and after crossover, PFS2 (after crossover), duration of response, safety/tolerability, and BRAF mutation assay validation
Crossover allowed at radiologic PD Dabrafenib 150 mg twice daily n = 28 (68% of PD patients)
§ Primary endpoint: Investigator-assessed PFS in BRAF V600E/K patients § > 95% power to detect HR of 0.33
PD = progressive disease
