New hope for rare cancers: drug combo targets BRAF mutation
NCT ID NCT05868629
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a combination of two targeted drugs, dabrafenib and trametinib, in people with rare solid tumors that have a specific genetic change called BRAF V600E. The goal is to see how well the drugs shrink or control the tumors. The study includes both children (age 1 and older) and adults whose tumors cannot be removed by surgery or have spread to other parts of the body.
