Brief Summary

Doctors usually treat uveal melanoma with radiotherapy or surgery. But if this cancer spreads, it is more difficult to treat. Doctors usually treat uveal melanoma that has spread with a chemotherapy called dacarbazine, but they are always looking to find new ways to treat uveal melanoma. This study aims to find out how well Sunitinib works to treat uveal melanoma and to see how long Sunitinib and Dacarbazine can help to prevent the cancer from getting worse.

Conditions

Metastatic Uveal Melanoma

Uveal; Melanoma; Metastatic; Sunitinib

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Progression Free Survival

  The primary outcome measure for this trial is the progression-free survival time measured from date of randomisation. For patients with evidence of progressive disease (as measured by CT scan, or MRI if necessary) or patients who have died from any cause, progression-free survival time will be calculated to date of progressive disease or date of death (whichever occurs first) and will be counted as events in the analysis. Patients still alive with no evidence of progression at the time of their last visit are censored at the time of the most recent information.

  Once all patients have been followed up for at least 3 months

Secondary Outcomes (5)

• Overall Survival

  Analysis will take place once all patients have been followed up for at least 3 months

• Overall Response Rate

  Analysis will take place once all patients have been followed up for at least 3 months

• Time to progression on first-line treatment compared to second-line treatment

  Analysis will take place once all patients have been followed up for at least 3 months

• Overall response rate on first-line treatment compared to overall response rate on second-line treatment for patients who receive cross-over therapy

  Analysis will take place once all patients have been followed up for at least 3 months

• Assessment of Adverse Events

  Analysis will take place once all patients have been followed up for at least 3 months

• Patients who have received prior radiotherapy are eligible, however, measurable lesions must not have been previously irradiated
• Life expectancy \> 12 weeks ECOG Performance status 0, 1 or 2
• At least one measurable target lesion, for further evaluation according to the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumours - RECIST version 1.1 completed within 28 days of randomisation
• Aged \> 18 years
• Hb \> 10 g/dl, platelets \> 100 x109/L, WCC \> 3.0 x109/L, ANC \> 1.5x109/L, Bili \< 1.5 x ULN, Alk phos \< 5 x ULN, transaminases \< 5 x ULN, Cr \< 1.5 x ULN

• Females of child-bearing potential who have a negative pregnancy test prior to study entry and be using adequate contraception, which they agree to continue for 12 months after the study treatment

You may not qualify if:

• Patients who have:
• Conjunctival melanoma
• Received any previous systemic therapy for uveal melanoma
• Known leptomeningeal or brain metastases
• Patients with a history of prior malignant disease (unless they have had more than 3 years free of disease or have had adequately treated non-melanomatous skin cancer or in situ carcinoma of the cervix)
• Had treatment with potent CYP3A4 inhibitors and inducers within 7 and 12 days respectively, prior to study treatment administration

• Unstable systemic diseases including uncontrolled hypertension (\>150/100 mmHg despite optimal medical therapy) or active uncontrolled infections
• Any of the following within the 6 months prior to study drug administration: myocardial infarction, severe/unstable angina, symptomatic congestive heart failure, cerebrovascular accident or transient ischemic attack, or pulmonary embolism
• Clinically significant abnormal cardiac function with abnormal 12 lead ECG. Ongoing cardiac dysrhythmias of NCI CTCAE grade 2, poorly controlled atrial fibrillation of any grade, or prolongation of the QTc interval to \>450 msec for males or \>470 msec for females
• Any other serious or uncontrolled illness which, in the opinion of the investigator, makes it undesirable for the patient to enter the trial
• Any medical or psychiatric condition which would influence the ability to provide informed consent
• Pregnant or lactating women Lack of informed consent
• Any previous investigational agent within the last 12 weeks
