Binimetinib and Imatinib for Unresectable Stage III-IV KIT-Mutant Melanoma (NCT04598009)

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

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Phase2 ๐Ÿ’Š Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: University of California, San Francisco

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

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.
