Early trial of experimental cancer drug halted; data still under review
NCT ID NCT04543188
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-phase study tested a new drug called PF-07284890, alone or with another drug (binimetinib), in 65 people with advanced cancers that have a specific genetic change (BRAF V600 mutation), including cancers that spread to the brain. The trial was terminated early, but researchers collected information on safety, dosing, and how the drug moves through the body. The goal was to find a safe dose and see if the drug shrinks tumors.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- PF-07284890 (also called ARRY-461), given alone or with binimetinib
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with BRAF V600-mutated cancers, including those that have spread to the brain.
- What could go wrong
- This was a very early (Phase 1) study that was terminated, so results are limited. The drug may not prove effective or safe in larger trials.
