- description
- Neo adjuvant BRAF/MEK inhibition (encorafenib/binimetinib). Patients receive encorafenib 450 mg once daily for a period of 8 weeks. Patients receive 45 mg binimetinib twice daily for a period of 8 weeks. After the neo-adjuvant therapie, patients will receive encorafenib 450 mg once daily fand binimetinib 45mg twice daily for 44 weeks.

- measure
- Efficacy of neo-adjuvant encorafenib/binimetinib
- timeFrame
- 8 weeks
- description
- Primary outcome is to determine the efficacy of neo-adjuvant eEncorafenib/bBinimetinib as measured by pathological response rate (partial-, complete- and no response). In the biopsy at week 0 the viability will be judged and will be graded according to the amount of tumor necrosis: \>50% tumor necrosis with \<50% viable tumor cells, \<50% necrosis with \>50% viable tumor cells and 100% necrosis without viable tumor cells. Partial response is defined as a decrease of at least 50% of the viable tumor cells, and complete response is defined as more than 90% a decrease of more than 90% of the tumor cells, whereas no response is defined as more than 50% of viable tumor cells present.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age over 18 years old * World Health Organization (WHO) Performance Status 0 or I * Primary cutaneous melanoma or unknown primary melanoma with pathologically confirmed in-transit metastatic melanoma * Patients must have undergone complete disease staging including: PET-CT scan and MRI scan * Patients must be medically fit to undergo surgery * Patients must be able to take oral medication * No prior anticancer systemic treatment (including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, oncolytic viral therapy, other systemic therapies) * No prior radiotherapy to site of interest (surgical therapy is allowed; in order to obtain pathological information of the melanoma) * Screening laboratory values must meet the following criteria: WBC ≥ 2.0x109/L, Neutrophils ≥ 1.0x109/L, Platelets ≥ 100 x109/L, Hemoglobin ≥ 6.5 mmol/L, AST ≤ 2.5 x ULN, ALT ≤ 2.5 x ULN, Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 X ULN, INR and PTT in normal range, LDH \< 2xULN. Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 × ULN; or calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/min by Cockcroft-Gault formula; or estimated glomerular filtration rate \> 50 mL/min/1.73m2. * Absence of additional severe and/or uncontrolled concurrent disease Exclusion Criteria: * Presence of regional lymph node metastases * Presence of distant metastases * Current treatment with antiretroviral drugs, herbal remedies and drugs that are strong inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A and CYP2C8 * Patients with active bacterial infections with systemic manifestations (malaise, fever, leukocytosis) are not eligible until completion of appropriate therapy * Underlying medical conditions that, in the Investigator's opinion, will make the administration of study treatment hazardous or obscure the interpretation of toxicity determination or adverse events * History of congestive heart failure, active cardiac conditions, including unstable coronary syndromes (unstable or severe angina, recent myocardial infarction), significant arrhythmias and severe valvular disease must be evaluated for risks of undergoing general anesthesia. Furthermore, enlarged QTc interval, uncontrolled hypertension, poor left ventricular function (\< 50%, as determined by MUGA scan) and recent thromboembolic or cerebral event. * History of central serous retinopathy or retinal vein occlusion * Active intestinal disease interfering with oral drug absorption * Patients who are unable to be temporally removed from chronic anti-coagulation therapy for operation * (Neo)Adjuvant BRAF/MEKi for pN1c melanoma, version 5, 31 October 2021 * Other malignancy within 2 years prior to entry into the study, except for treated non-melanoma skin cancer and in situ cervical carcinoma * Patient must not have active hepatitis B, and/or active hepatitis C infection given concerns for drug interactions or increased toxicities. Testing is not required * Patient must not have any known history of acute or chronic pancreatitis * Patient must not have any concurrent neuromuscular disorder that is associated with elevated creatine kinase (CK) (e.g., inflammatory myopathies, muscular dystrophy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, spinal muscular atrophy * Pregnancy or nursing
