NCT ID NCT04249843

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This early-phase study tested an experimental drug called BGB-3245 (brimarafenib) in 109 people with advanced solid tumors that had not responded to standard treatments. The drug is designed to block certain proteins that help cancer grow. The main goals were to check safety, find the right dose, and see if the drug could shrink tumors. The study was terminated early, but it gathered important safety and dosing information.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

BGB-3245 (brimarafenib), a drug taken by mouth that targets certain cancer-related proteins

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with advanced solid tumors that have specific genetic mutations.

What could go wrong

This was a very early (Phase 1) trial that was terminated, so results are limited. The drug may not shrink tumors or may cause side effects, and it is unclear if it will work for most patients.
