Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to see if the combination of Vemurafenib with Decitabine plus Cobimetinib improves the low therapy response rate in subjects with malignant melanoma.

Description:

The primary objective of the Phase I portion of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the proposed schedule of decitabine and Vemurafenib plus Cobimetinib in the treatment of metastatic melanoma.
