Brief Summary:
This phase III trial studies how well initial treatment with ipilimumab and nivolumab followed by dabrafenib and trametinib works and compares it to initial treatment with dabrafenib and trametinib followed by ipilimumab and nivolumab in treating patients with stage III-IV melanoma that contains a mutation known as BRAFV600 and cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as ipilimumab and nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Dabrafenib and trametinib may block tumor growth by targeting the BRAFV600 gene. It is not yet known whether treating patients with ipilimumab and nivolumab followed by dabrafenib and trametinib is more effective than treatment with dabrafenib and trametinib followed by ipilimumab and nivolumab.

Primary Outcome Measures :
- Overall survival (OS) rate [ Time Frame: The time from randomization to death from any cause, assessed for up to 2 years ]Defined as the proportion of patients alive after 2 years of follow-up time. Will be estimated and compared between the two arms using the Mantel-Haenszel test based (stratified by Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group [ECOG] performance status [PS] and lactate dehydrogenase [LDH]) based on two-sided overall type I error rate of 0.05 adjusting for two-interim analysis. Mantel-Haenszel test will compare the 2-year OS rates while controlling for the stratification factors. The difference in 2-year OS rates in arms A and B will be estimated and presented with 95% repeated confidence interval of Jennison-Turnbull. In addition, OS distribution will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. The distribution of OS will be compared using the stratified log rank test. Hazard of OS will be estimated as a function of time in arm A and in arm B (as randomized in step 1 to arm A versus B) and presented graphically.
Secondary Outcome Measures :
- Progression-free survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: The time from randomization to disease progression or death (whichever occurs first), assessed up to 5 years ]Evaluated based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. Distribution will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. PFS will be compared using the log-rank test.
- Response rate [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]According to RECIST 1.1. Response rates will be compared using the Mantel-Haenszel test (stratified by ECOG PS and LDH) test in arms A vs. B. Response rate for patients who are treated with ipilimumab/nivolumab before crossover (arm A) vs. for patients who were initially treated with dabrafenib/trametinib and crossed over to ipilimumab/nivolumab will be compared (arm D). Response rates will be compared using the Fisher's exact test.
- Toxicity rate for individual adverse events (AEs) [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]Will be assessed using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version (v) 4.0. Compared using the chi-square of Fisher's exact test. Two-sided p-values will be reported for these comparisons.
- Toxicity rate for categorized AEs [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]Will be assessed using CTCAE v 4.0. Compared using the chi-square of Fisher's exact test. Two-sided p-values will be reported for these comparisons.
- Toxicity rate for worst degree AEs [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]Will be assessed using CTCAE v 4.0. Compared using the chi-square of Fisher's exact test. Two-sided p-values will be reported for these comparisons.
Other Outcome Measures:
- Genetic characteristics [ Time Frame: Baseline ]Genetic associations with immune-related adverse events (irAE) status will be assessed using Fisher's exact test, one-degree-of-freedom genotypic trend test or the two-degrees-of-freedom chi-squared test of independence at each individual SNP marker. Tests of association will be adjusted for age, sex, center or clinical protocol, and dose as well as American Joint Committee on Cancer stage, ulceration, performance status, LDH level, number of involved sites, BRAF mutation status (when available) and number of prior therapies using logistic regression modeling assuming an additive genetic model.
- Immune-related adverse events (irAE) status [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]Genetic associations with irAE status will be assessed using Fisher's exact test, one-degree-of-freedom genotypic trend test or the two-degrees-of-freedom chi-squared test of independence at each individual SNP marker. Tests of association will be adjusted for age, sex, center or clinical protocol, and dose as well as American Joint Committee on Cancer stage, ulceration, performance status, LDH level, number of involved sites, BRAF mutation status (when available) and number of prior therapies using logistic regression modeling assuming an additive genetic model.
- Quality-adjusted time without symptoms of disease progression or toxicity of treatment (Q-TWIST) [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]The restricted mean amount of time for each health state will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, with time limit set at 2 years for computation of all restricted means. The mean amount of time for each health state and the average group utility scores will be summarized by initial treatment (i.e., arm A: ipilimumab + nivolumab [with subsequent dabrafenib + trametinib] vs. arm B: dabrafenib + trametinib [with subsequent ipilimumab + nivolumab]). The Q-TWiST subscore and the overall Q-TWiST score will then be reported by initial treatment. Differences between treatment groups in the mean Q-TWiST score (including the overall score and the subscore) will be calculated. For each score, a 95% confidence interval and two-sided P-value for testing the null hypothesis of no difference between treatment groups will be conducted using a Z-test (with normal approximation), with standard errors calculated by the bootstrap method.
- Overall function [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months from study entry ]Assessed using Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) PROFILE-29. A log-normal survival model for analyzing longitudinal data which incorporates the non-ignorable censoring mechanism will be fitted for each short form T-score and pain intensity, separately, to assess initial treatment effect (i.e., arm A: ipilimumab + nivolumab [with subsequent dabrafenib + trametinib] vs. arm B: dabrafenib + trametinib [with subsequent ipilimumab + nivolumab]) on each function. To evaluate the effect of treatment sequence on patient function, each of the PROMIS short form T-score and pain intensity (with longitudinal data collected at baseline, 6-, 12-weeks, and 6-months after the initiation of treatment in each step) will be compared by treatment sequence for ipilimumab + nivolumab (arm A vs. D) and for dabrafenib + trametinib (arm B vs. C), using a log-normal survival model as described above.
- Change in patient-reported symptoms [ Time Frame: Baseline to up to 6 months after the initiation of treatment in each step ]Assessed using the Patient Reported Outcomes Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events. To evaluate the effect of treatment sequence on symptoms, summary statistics (frequency [N] and percentage [%]) will be reported with respect to presence, frequency and severity (if applicable) for each symptom by treatment sequence for ipilimumab + nivolumab (arm A vs. D), and for dabrafenib + trametinib (arm B vs. C) at baseline, 6-, 12-weeks, and 6-months after the initiation of the first treatment and the secondary treatment.

- STEP 2 (CROSSOVER ARMS): Patients must have discontinued radiation therapy prior to registering to Step 2 of the study and recovered from any adverse events associated with treatment; prior surgery must be >= 2 weeks from registration to Step 2 and patients must be fully recovered from post-surgical complications
- STEP 2 (CROSSOVER ARMS): The effects of dabrafenib and trametinib or ipilimumab and nivolumab on the developing human fetus are unknown; furthermore, dabrafenib has been reported to interfere with the effect of hormone based oral contraceptives; for this reason and because other therapeutic agents used in this trial are known to be teratogenic, women of child-bearing potential and sexually active males must agree to continue to use the same contraception requirements as on Step 1 of this study (i.e.: use at least two other accepted and effective methods of contraception and/or to abstain from sexual intercourse for the duration of their participation in the study, and for at least 4 weeks after treatment with dabrafenib or for 4 months after dabrafenib in combination with trametinib; women of child-bearing potential must use at least two other accepted and effective methods of contraception and/or to abstain from sexual intercourse for at least 5 months after the last dose of nivolumab and/or ipilimumab and sexually active males must use at least two other accepted and effective methods of contraception and/or to abstain from sexual intercourse for at least 7 months after the last dose of nivolumab and/or ipilimumab); should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately
Exclusion Criteria:
-
Women must not be pregnant or breast-feeding, as the effects of ipilimumab + nivolumab or dabrafenib + trametinib on the developing human fetus are unknown
- All females of childbearing potential must have a blood test or urine study within 2 weeks prior to registration to rule out pregnancy
- A female of childbearing potential is any woman, regardless of sexual orientation or whether they have undergone tubal ligation, who meets the following criteria: 1) has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy; or 2) has not been naturally postmenopausal for at least 24 consecutive months (i.e., has had menses at any time in the preceding 24 consecutive months)
