Since 2013, therapeutic care of metastatic melanoma (MM) has greatly improved, especially thanks to BRAF and MEK targeted therapies. The efficacy of these treatments that are now used daily at first line for BRAF mutated MM is widely approved. Their toxicities, in monotherapy or in association, are also well-known: fever, arthralgias, digestive disorders, cutaneous rash, fatigue, photosensitivity, alopecia, cutaneous hyperkeratosis, squamous cell carcinomas, keratoacanthomas, de novo melanomas… However, onco-dermatologists are more and more faced with MM of elderly patients. Indeed, life expectancy continues to increase and the over-75-year-old age group is becoming larger. These patients are still active but much more vulnerable. Nevertheless, there is no data in the literature for this fragile population except the MM pivotal studies subgroups of those over 65-year-old. The results vary with different regimens. Therefore, there is a wide lack of information that could help make a therapeutic decision, inform patients, prevent or treat side effects of BRAF and MEK inhibitors in elderly patients

Study Type
An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies. |

Trial ID:
This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries. |
NCT03155217 |
|
Phase
Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use. |
