Summary

This study tests a drug called binimetinib for people with hairy cell leukemia that lacks the BRAF gene mutation, making standard treatments ineffective. About 40 adults whose cancer returned or didn't respond to prior therapy will take the pill twice daily. The goal is to see if the drug can shrink or control the cancer by targeting a different gene, MEK.
