New drug tested for Tough-to-Treat skin cancer

NCT ID NCT02975700

Summary

This early-stage study tested an investigational drug called PLX3397 in a small group of adults with advanced melanoma that had spread and could not be surgically removed. The cancer also had to have a specific genetic change called a KIT mutation. The main goals were to check the drug's safety, how it moves through the body, and to see if it showed any early signs of helping to control the cancer.
