New drug combo targets tough cancers in early trial
NCT ID NCT04913285
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Sep 03, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This early-phase trial is testing a new drug called KIN-2787 (exarafenib), alone or combined with another drug (binimetinib), in 400 adults with advanced solid tumors that have BRAF or NRAS mutations. The main goals are to check safety, find the best dose, and see if the drug can shrink tumors. The study is active but no longer recruiting new participants.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- KIN-2787 (exarafenib) and binimetinib
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a new treatment option for people with certain hard-to-treat cancers like melanoma and lung cancer that have specific genetic mutations.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early phase 1 trial, so the drug may not work or could have serious side effects. It is still being tested for safety and the right dose, so it is far from being a proven treatment.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
