Phase 1/2 Study Epigenetic Modification of BRAF-mutated Metastatic Melanoma: Treatment of a Resistant Disease Using Decitabine Combined With Vemurafenib Plus Cobimetinib

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.

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.

the first dose of study drug. Willing to use 2 methods of contraception, one being a
barrier method during the study and for 3 months after last study drug dose.

Any patient with metastatic melanoma (any site) whose tumor is V600EBRAF positive,
regardless of prior treatment.

Prior treatment with Vemurafenib will be allowed Must not have taken a hypomethylating
agent. Must have had disease progression on or following most recent treatment regimen or
on presentation for the first time with metastatic disease.

Patients with CNS disease are eligible for treatment only after their CNS disease has been
directly addressed with radiation therapy.

period: Chemotherapy - 3 week (wk) wash-out; Oral agents - 2 wk wash-out (Except
Vemurafenib, no wash-out period); Investigational agents - 3 wk wash-out; Immunotherapy - 4
wk wash-out; Palliative radiation therapy to bone/brain - 2 wk wash-out; Major radiation or
