First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase 2 trial is testing two oral drugs, belvarafenib and cobimetinib, in about 45 people with advanced or spreading melanoma that has a specific genetic change called an NRAS mutation. The goal is to see if the combination can shrink tumors and keep the disease under control. Participants take the drugs daily for 28-day cycles, and the study measures how many respond and how long the benefit lasts.
