Binimetinib and Encorafenib for the Treatment of Metastatic Melanoma and Central Nervous System Metastases

Phase II Study of Binimetinib With Encorafenib in Patients With Metastatic Melanoma and CNS Metastases


Sponsor

M.D. Anderson Cancer Center

Enrollment

35 participants

Start Date

Dec 27, 2021

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This phase II trial studies the effects of binimetinib and encorafenib in treating patients with melanoma that has spread to the central nervous system (metastases). Binimetinib and encorafenib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving binimetinib and encorafenib may help control melanoma that has spread to the brain.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs — binimetinib and encorafenib — for melanoma that has spread to the brain. These drugs target a specific mutation (BRAF V600) that drives tumor growth. The study includes both patients who have already tried BRAF-targeted drugs and those who haven't. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 or older - You have melanoma confirmed to have a BRAF V600 mutation - Your cancer has spread to the brain (including fluid around the brain in some cases) - Cohort A: You have already been treated with BRAF inhibitors and your brain metastases are progressing - Cohort B: You have not yet received BRAF/MEK inhibitor treatment **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You do not have the BRAF V600 mutation in your tumor - Your brain metastases are too large or too numerous for this protocol - Your overall health is too poor to tolerate the treatment Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
