Summary description of the study

This phase III study is being conducted to determine whether the combination of Naporafenib with Trametinib is more effective when taken together. The study consists of two stages: Stage 1: In stage 1, the best dose of Naporafenib and Trametinib taken together will be determined by examining the side effects, tolerability, and efficacy of Naporafenib and Trametinib taken together compared to Trametinib taken alone. Stage 2: In stage 2, the efficacy of Naporafenib and Trametinib taken together will be compared to standard therapy. In total, up to 470 eligible patients will receive the investigational drug(s) in 2 stages.

Intervention under investigation

The investigational drug(s) will be administered in continuous 28-day cycles (21-day cycles for Dacarbazine), until there is a deterioration of the disease (radiologically documented), an intolerance, a withdrawal of consent for further study treatment, or a decision by the investigator to discontinue treatment, with the first occurring event being decisive.
