New hope for melanoma brain metastases: Two-Step treatment trial launches
NCT ID NCT06887088
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This phase 2 trial is testing a two-step treatment for people with BRAF-mutated melanoma that has spread to the brain and is causing symptoms. First, participants take two targeted pills (encorafenib and binimetinib) for about two months. Then, they receive two immunotherapy drugs (cemiplimab and fianlimab) intravenously every three weeks for up to two years. The goal is to see if this approach can keep brain tumors from growing for at least six months in more patients than historical treatments.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a new treatment option for people with BRAF-mutated melanoma that has spread to the brain and is causing symptoms.
