Binimetinib and Imatinib for Unresectable Stage III-IV KIT-Mutant Melanoma

A Phase II Study of Binimetinib in Combination With Imatinib in Patients With Advanced KIT-Mutant Melanoma


Sponsor

University of California, San Francisco

Enrollment

25 participants

Start Date

Mar 3, 2021

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This phase II trial studies how well binimetinib and imatinib work in treating patients with stage III-IV KIT-mutant melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). Binimetinib and imatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving binimetinib and imatinib may help treat patients with KIT-mutant melanoma.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study tests two drugs — binimetinib and imatinib — together for people with advanced or metastatic melanoma (skin cancer) that has a specific genetic mutation in a gene called KIT, which drives the cancer's growth. Both drugs target this pathway in different ways. **You may be eligible if...** - You have confirmed unresectable Stage III or IV melanoma - Your melanoma has been tested and confirmed to have a KIT mutation by a certified lab - You have measurable disease on imaging - Your blood counts and organ function are within acceptable ranges - You have progressed on prior standard treatments, or are unable to tolerate them **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your melanoma does not have a KIT mutation - Your blood counts or organ function are inadequate - You have untreated or unstable brain metastases - Your overall health status is too poor (ECOG score greater than 2) Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
