Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Standard therapy or clinical trial
Treatment: Drugs - Matched targeted therapy
Treatment: Drugs - Trametinib and / or supportive care
Treatment: Drugs - CDK4/6 and MEK inhibitor
Treatment: Drugs - Compassionate Access Targeted Therapy

Experimental: A1. Non-V600 BRAF, BRAF wildtype, NRAS wildtype. Actionable gene mutation, matched drug available - Patients will receive targeted drug matched to the actionable gene mutation detected on NGS testing. If a patient cannot receive the matched targeted therapy because of the existence of one or more drug specific exclusion criteria, an alternative matched therapy may be assigned, or trametinib, or clinical trials if available.

Experimental: A2. Non-V600 BRAF, BRAF wildtype, NRAS wildtype. Actionable gene mutation, no matched drug available - Patients may have an actionable aberration for which there is no current study-specific drug supply available. In this scenario, access will be sought for compassionate use of the relevant approved targeted therapy.

Experimental: A3. Non-V600 BRAF, BRAF wild type and NRAS wild type melanoma - no actionable genetic aberration - Patients for whom there is no actionable genetic aberration will receive trametinib, based upon the known MAPK excess activity in the majority of melanomas that may be inhibited by a MEK inhibitor

Experimental: B. Mucosal melanoma - Patients will receive combined trametinib and ribociclib based on evidence to suggest that combined MEK inhibition and CDK4/6 inhibition may be effective. After failure of trametinib and ribociclib, actionable genetic aberrations from the NGS testing will be reviewed for the opportunity to use a further targeted therapy off label.

Experimental: C. NRAS mutant melanoma - Patients with an NRAS mutation detected on standard gene testing only will receive combined trametinib and ribociclib based on evidence that combining MEK inhibition and CDK4/6 inhibition is a viable treatment option.

Other: D. BRAF V600 mutant melanoma - Patients will receive standard of care treatment only.


Treatment: Drugs: Standard therapy or clinical trial
Patients with BRAF V600 mutations detected by standard of care tumour testing will be treated with standard approved therapies or on clinical trials.

Treatment: Drugs: Matched targeted therapy
Patients with tumour found to be non-V600 BRAF, BRAF wildtype and NRAS wildtype melanoma will have tumour tested further using the extended molecular testing platform designed for this project. Patients will first receive standard therapy(ies) for non-V600 BRAF, wildtype and NRAS wildtype melanoma until disease progression or intolerable drug toxicities. Followed by a targeted therapy matched to the genetic aberration detected in their tumour on NGS testing.

Treatment: Drugs: Trametinib and / or supportive care
Patients with non-V600 BRAF, BRAF wildtype and NRAS wildtype melanoma for whom there is no actionable genetic aberration found on extended molecular testing, may receive trametinib (if not already administered as part of standard care) and/or supportive care.

Treatment: Drugs: CDK4/6 and MEK inhibitor
Patients mucosal melanoma and any genetic aberration on NGS testing may receive ribociclib + trametinib initially. After failure of trametinib and ribociclib, actionable genetic aberrations from the NGS testing will be reviewed for the opportunity to use a further targeted therapy off label.
Patients with an NRAS mutation on standard of care tumour testing will also receive ribociclib + trametinib.

Treatment: Drugs: Compassionate Access Targeted Therapy
Patients with non-V600 BRAF, BRAF wildtype and NRAS wildtype melanoma may have an actionable aberration(s) for which there is no current study-specific drug supply. In this scenario, access will be sought for compassionate use of the off label use of the relevant regulatory approved targeted therapy

Summary
Brief summary
This is a patient oriented translational research project aiming to improve clinical outcomes
for patients with BRAF and NRAS wild-type unresectable Stage III or Stage IV metastatic
melanoma who have progressed on, or are unable to receive standard therapy (in general,
immunotherapy). Consecutive patients seen at three major clinics and fitting the broad
eligibility criteria will be invited to participate.

The approach is designed to test the impact of different targeted drugs on different
mutations in a single type of cancer. In this project, patients will have tumour tissue
genetically profiled to determine which mutation(s) are present, and will then be assigned to
receive a matched drug expected to target the mutation(s) in the tumour. Where multiple
targets are identified in one patient, or where multiple potential therapies would be
appropriate for a single tumour mutation, the treating clinician may determine the
appropriate therapeutic approach after consultation with the study team, using the latest
version of library of matched therapies.
