NCT ID NCT02975700
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-stage study tested an experimental drug called PLX3397 in 6 people with advanced melanoma that has a specific KIT gene mutation and cannot be removed by surgery. The goal was to check the drug's safety and see if it could shrink tumors. While some patients had their tumors shrink or stabilize, the study was small and more research is needed.
