A Phase 2 Master Protocol to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of FORE8394, an Inhibitor of BRAF Class 1 and Class 2 Alterations, in Participants With Cancer Harboring BRAF Alterations

What is this study?

This study is testing a new medication called plixorafenib to see if it can safely slow down or stop the growth of certain solid tumors and brain tumors. It is designed for people whose cancer has a specific genetic change in the BRAF gene, which helps researchers target the cancer more effectively.

Who can participate?

This trial is open to patients aged 10 and older who have been diagnosed with solid tumors or brain/spinal cord tumors containing a specific BRAF gene mutation. You must have a stored tumor sample available for testing and be willing to undergo regular medical imaging scans.

What will happen?

Participants will receive the study medication, plixorafenib, which works by targeting proteins that fuel cancer cell growth. Throughout the study, you will have regular check-ups and medical imaging scans to help doctors see how your body and tumor are responding to the treatment.

Where and when?

The study is currently recruiting patients at medical centers in Beverly Hills, San Francisco, and Westwood, California. Please talk to your oncologist to see if this study might be a good fit for your specific health situation.

Key Points
  • 1The study tests a targeted therapy for cancers with specific BRAF gene mutations.
  • 2Participants must be at least 10 years old and have a confirmed diagnosis verified by genetic testing.
  • 3You cannot participate if you have previously received certain other targeted cancer treatments like BRAF or MEK inhibitors.
