New drug combo targets rare BRAF mutations in advanced cancers

NCT ID NCT03839342

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests two oral drugs, binimetinib and encorafenib, in 26 adults with advanced solid tumors that have specific non-V600E BRAF mutations and no standard treatment options. The main goal is to see if the combination shrinks tumors. Researchers will also monitor side effects and how long patients live without the cancer getting worse.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

binimetinib and encorafenib

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a new treatment option for people with advanced solid tumors that have certain rare BRAF mutations and have run out of standard therapies.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase study with only 26 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drugs may cause side effects or fail to shrink tumors.
