Abstract
Patients treated with dabrafenib/trametinib (DAB/TRA) exhibit a large interindividual variability in clinical outcomes. The aims of this study were to characterize the pharmacokinetics of DAB, hydroxy-dabrafenib (OHD), and TRA in BRAF-mutated patients and to investigate the exposure-response relationship for toxicity and efficacy in metastatic melanoma (MM) patients. Univariate Fisher and Wilcoxon models including drug systemic exposure (area under the plasma concentration curve, AUC) were used to identify prognostic factors for the onset of dose-limiting toxicities (DLT), and Cox models for overall (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Seventy-three BRAF-mutated patients were included in pharmacokinetic (n = 424, NONMEM) and 52 in pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic analyses. Age and sex were identified as determinants of DAB and OHD clearances (p < 0.01). MM patients experiencing DLT were overexposed to DAB compared to patients without DLT (AUC: 9624 vs. 7485 ng∙h/mL, respectively, p < 0.01). Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) ≥ 2 and plasma ratio AUC <sub>OHD</sub> /AUC <sub>DAB</sub> ≥ 1 were independently associated with shorter OS (HR: 6.58 (1.29-33.56); p = 0.023 and 10.61 (2.34-48.15), p = 0.022, respectively). A number of metastatic sites ≥3 and cerebral metastases were associated with shorter PFS (HR = 3.25 (1.11-9.50); p = 0.032 and HR = 1.23 (1.35-10.39), p = 0.011; respectively). TRA plasma exposure was neither associated with toxicity nor efficacy. Our results suggest that early drug monitoring could be helpful to prevent the onset of DLT in MM patients, especially in fragile patients such as the elderly. Regarding efficacy, the clinical benefit to monitor plasma ratio AUC <sub>OHD</sub> /AUC <sub>DAB</sub> deserves more investigation in a larger cohort of MM patients.
