e21519 Background: The new MEK inhibitor tunlametinib combined with the BRAF inhibitor vemurafenib showed promising clinical activity in patients (pts) with BRAF V600-mutant solid tumors in a previous Phase I study (NCT03976050). Based on the result, we designed a phase IIa study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tunlametinib plus vemurafenib in Chinese pts with BRAF V600 mutant melanoma. Methods: This open-label, single arm, multiple-center phase IIa study enrolled Chinese pts with BRAF V600E-mutant advanced melanoma, without restriction on the disease subtype (e.g., acral, mucosal, or cutaneous melanoma). Prior treatment was permitted, excluding BRAF/MEK inhibitors. Pts received oral tunlametinib at a dose of 9 mg twice daily and vemurafenib 720 mg twice daily. The primary endpoint was the objective response rate (ORR) per RECIST v1.1. Results: Between October 15, 2021, and June 22nd, 2022, 17 pts were enrolled and included in the analysis. Thirteen (76.5%) pts had received previous systemic antitumor therapy, with 12 (70.6%) receiving immunotherapy. Seven (41.2%) pts had acral melanoma, 8 (47.1%) pts had skin melanoma (non-acral) and 2 (11.8%) pts had mucosal melanoma. All pts had metastatic disease. With a median follow-up of 15.3 months (95%CI: 6.8; NE), 12 (70.6%) pts achieved confirmed partial response (PR), resulting in a confirmed ORR of 70.6% (95% CI: 44.0%-89.7%). The disease control rate was 100% (95% CI: 80.5%, 100.0%). The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 10.0 months (95% CI: 5. 5, NE). the duration of response (DOR) was 20.1 (95% CI: 4.2, NE). The overall survival (OS) was 21.6 months (95% CI: 14.5, NE), with a 12-months OS rate of 87.4% (95% CI: 58.1%, 96.7%). Subgroup analysis revealed that in pre-treated pts, the confirmed ORR was 76.9% (95% CI: 46.2%, 95.0%), the median PFS was 10.0 months (95% CI: 5.5, NE), while in previous untreated pts, the mPFS was 14.0 months (95% CI: 9.9, NE). In pts with skin melanoma, the confirmed ORR was 87.5% (47.3%, 99.7%), the mPFS was 10.0 months (95% CI: 5.5, NE), the mOS was 21.6 months (95% CI: 5.7, NE). In pts with acral melanoma, the ORR was 57.1% (95% CI: 18.4%,90.1%), the mPFS was 18.1 months (95% CI: 2.8, NE), the mOS not reached (12.3, NE). The most common adverse events included rash, pyrexia, and elevated blood creatin phosphokinase, most of which were of grade 1-2 severity. Grade 3 or higher TRAEs occurred in 12 (70.6%) pts, of which 41.2% were rash. Most AEs were manageable with supportive therapy or dose interruption. No treatment-related deaths were reported. Conclusions: The addition of a MEK inhibitor tunlametinib to vemurafenibexhibited promising clinical efficacy in Chinese patients with BRAF V600-mutant advanced melanoma, with a manageable safety profile. Additionally, notable effects were observed in pts with acral melanoma. The efficacy in pre-treated patients was comparable to that of similar agents in previous untreated patients.
