Cancer Harboring BRAF Alterations study: Plixorafenib
Official title A Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of FORE8394 in Participants With Cancer Harboring BRAF Alterations
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05503797
What this study is testing
What is Plixorafenib?
An investigational oral tablet being studied as a potential treatment for cancers with BRAF alterations.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment. It is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- The study aims to see if plixorafenib can help treat cancers that have BRAF V600E mutations or BRAF fusions, and to check its safety.
- Who it's for
- It looks for adults with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors, or recurrent or progressive primary brain tumors, that have BRAF V600E or BRAF fusion mutations.
- What's involved
- Participants will receive plixorafenib and have regular visits for medical exams, blood tests, imaging scans, and other safety checks.
- Time commitment
- The study lasts about 12 months, with visits every few weeks for treatment and monitoring.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
