Concentrations of dabrafenib, its metabolites, hydroxy-, carboxy, and desmethyl-dabrafenib, and possibly other drug-related species were quantified in the pharmacokinetic tissue sample by an investigative Liquid chromatography- mass spectrometry (LC-MS)/MS method. The spatial distribution of dabrafenib, its metabolites, hydroxy-, carboxy, and desmethyl-dabrafenib and possibly other drug-related species in the tissue samples were determined using an investigative matrix assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) analysis method. Parenchymal brain metastases and extracranial metastases using MALDI imaging was not determined for all participants (completed by GSK for the first two participants enrolled)

Summary
Brief summary
This is a global, multi-centre, open-label, study of GSK2118436 conducted in up to 30
evaluable subjects with resectable, BRAF V600E or V600K mutation-positive metastatic melanoma
to the brain. All subjects in this study are required to have accessible extracranial
metastases and are agreeable to undergo repetitive biopsies. The first cohort of 15 subjects
will receive dabrafenib orally 150mg twice daily (BID) for 7 to 14 days prior to surgery
(Cohort A); the second cohort of 15 subjects will receive the combination of dabrafenib 150
mg BID and trametinib 2 mg once daily for 7 to 14 days prior to surgery (Cohort B). The
primary purpose of this study is to determine levels and distribution of dabrafenib, its
metabolites, and trametinib (Cohort B only) in parenchymal brain metastases, extracranial
metastases, and peripheral blood (plasma) within two cohorts of subjects with BRAF V600E/K
mutation-positive melanoma that has metastasized to the brain. All subjects will be followed
for survival and new anti-cancer therapy for a total of two years or until death or the
subject wishes to withdraw from further follow-up.
