Summary
Brief summary
This randomized, open-label study evaluated the efficacy, safety and tolerability of
vemurafenib (RO5185426) as compared to dacarbazine in previously untreated patients with
metastatic melanoma. Patients were randomized to receive either vemurafenib 960 mg orally
twice daily or dacarbazine 1000 mg/m2 intravenously every 3 weeks. Study treatment was
continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurred. The data and safety
monitoring board recommended that patients in the dacarbazine group be allowed to cross over
to receive vemurafenib, and the protocol was amended accordingly on January 14, 2011, as both
overall survival and progression-free survival endpoints had met the prespecified criteria
for statistical significance in favor of vemurafenib.
