Inclusion Criteria

  • Men and women 18 years of age and older
  • Histologic diagnosis of malignant melanoma tested positive for the BRAF V600 mutation
  • Previously untreated unresectable Stage III or Stage IV melanoma
  • Complete set of brain/neck, chest, abdomen/pelvis axial radiographs taken within 28 days of first dose of study drug
  • Measurable melanoma by physical or radiographic examination
  • Brain metastases stable after radiation for at least 1 month and off corticosteroid therapy for ≥30 days prior to enrollment
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 or 1
  • Adequate hematologic parameters and renal and hepatic function

Exclusion Criteria

  • Primary ocular melanoma
  • Active brain metastases with symptoms or requiring corticosteroid treatment
  • Any other malignancy from which the patient has been disease-free for less than 2 years, with the exception of adequately treated and cured basal or squamous cell skin cancer, superficial bladder cancer, or carcinoma in situ of the cervix
  • History of or current active autoimmune diseases, including but not limited to inflammatory bowel diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, autoimmune thyroiditis, autoimmune hepatitis, systemic sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, autoimmune vasculitis, autoimmune neuropathies
  • History of or current immunodeficiency disease, splenectomy, or splenic irradiation
  • Prior anticancer therapy or investigational products <4 weeks prior to enrollment
  • Prior therapy with a BRAF or MEK inhibitor and prior investigational anticancer immunotherapies;
  • Prior therapies with immunosuppressive agents within the past 2 years
  • Concomitant therapy with any anticancer or potent immunosuppressive agent, surgery, radiotherapy, other investigational anticancer therapies, or chronic use of systemic corticosteroids

Arms & Interventions

Vemurafenib, 960 mg + Ipilimumab, 10 mg/kg

Experimental

Participants received vemurafenib, 960 mg, twice daily for 6 weeks (Vem1 Phase). After a washout period of 3-10 days, patients received ipilimumab, 10 mg/kg, every 3 weeks for a maximum of 4 doses. At Week 24, participants received ipilimumab, 10 mg/kg, every 12 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients who did not progress or have unacceptable toxicity in the Vem1 Phase were retreated with vemurafenib (Vem 2 Phase) at the last dose level identified at the end of the Vem1 Phase until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Intervention: Ipilimumab (Drug)

Vemurafenib, 960 mg + Ipilimumab, 10 mg/kg

Experimental

Participants received vemurafenib, 960 mg, twice daily for 6 weeks (Vem1 Phase). After a washout period of 3-10 days, patients received ipilimumab, 10 mg/kg, every 3 weeks for a maximum of 4 doses. At Week 24, participants received ipilimumab, 10 mg/kg, every 12 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients who did not progress or have unacceptable toxicity in the Vem1 Phase were retreated with vemurafenib (Vem 2 Phase) at the last dose level identified at the end of the Vem1 Phase until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Intervention: Vemurafenib (Biological)

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Percentage of Participants Who Received Ipilimumab and Who Had Grade 3-4 Drug-related Skin Adverse Events (AEs)

Time Frame: From the first dose date of Vem1 to the last dose of ipilimumab (to a maximum of 3 years) + 90 days or to the first dose date of Vem2, whichever occurred first

AE=any new unfavorable symptom, sign, or disease or worsening of a preexisting condition that may not have a causal relationship with treatment. Drug-related=having certain, probable, possible, or unknown relationship to study drug. Grading criteria for AEs: Grade 1=Mild, Grade 2=Moderate, Grade 3=Severe, Grade 4=Life-threatening or disabling, Grade 5=Death.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Percentage of Participants Who Received Ipilimumab and Who Had Grade 3-4 Drug-related Hepatobiliary Adverse Events(From the first dose date of Vem1 to the last dose of ipilimumab (to a maximum of 3 years) + 90 days or to the first dose date of Vem2, whichever occurred first)
  • Percentage of Participants Who Received Ipilimumab and Who Had Grade 3-4 Drug-related Gastrointestinal Adverse Events (AEs)(From the first dose date of Vem1 to the last dose of ipilimumab (to a maximum of 3 years) + 90 days or to the first dose date of Vem2, whichever occurred first)
