Overview

This investigational combination therapy consists of three active ingredients: decitabine, vemurafenib, and cobimetinib. It is being evaluated in a Phase 1/2 clinical trial (NCT01876641) led by Dr. Mohammed M. Milhem at the University of Iowa for the treatment of BRAF-mutated metastatic melanoma. The regimen combines standard-of-care MAPK pathway inhibition—using the BRAF inhibitor vemurafenib and the MEK inhibitor cobimetinib—with low-dose decitabine, a DNA methyltransferase inhibitor. The rationale for this triple combination is that epigenetic modulation via decitabine may reverse or prevent resistance to BRAF/MEK inhibitors, potentially improving response rates and durability in patients with resistant or advanced disease.
