Sponsor's own description

Patients with a BRAF mutated melanoma are usually treated in France by a first line of immunotherapy followed by a second line that combines a BRAF inhibitor (dabrafenib, vemurafenib, encorafenib) and a MEK inhibitor (trametinib, cobimetinib, binimetinib). The combination dabrafenib/trametinib is initially very efficient but it is unfortunately limited because acquired resistances usually occur after a year of treatment. Patients who become resistant to dabrafenib/trametinib and immunotherapy, unfortunately do not have an approved effective treatment at their disposal. They usually receive a palliative chemotherapy by dacarbazine or fotemustine, and they have a mean overall survival that is less than three months. Activation of autophagy in presence of BRAF and MEK inhibitors is a known mechanism of resistance to BRAF/MEK inhibitors. Hydroxychloroquine is an autophagy inhibitor and it has been suggested in vitro that it could decrease resistance to BRAF/MEK inhibitors. Following the positive results in 2018 of a phase I/II study in the USA that showed the efficacy and the absence of toxicity of the association of Dabrafenib, Trametinib and hydroxychloroquine when used as a first line treatement, we proposed to our patients who had become resistant to the dabrafenib/trametinib combination, to pursue their treatment beyond progression and to receive in addition hydroxychloroquine. This prescription was initiated in patients for whom no further therapeutic options were available, after validation by a multidisciplinary tumor board. All patients were informed that the combination dabrafenib/trametinib/hydroxychloroquine was not approved by a regulatory agency.
