NCT ID NCT05355701
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Sep 02, 2026 · Updated 8 times
Summary
This early-stage trial is testing a new oral drug, PF-07799933, in people aged 16 and older with advanced solid tumors that have a specific BRAF gene change. The drug is given alone or combined with other medicines like binimetinib or cetuximab. The study aims to find safe doses and see if the drug can shrink tumors. About 267 participants will be enrolled.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- PF-07799933 (ARRY-440) tablet, taken twice daily, alone or with binimetinib, cetuximab, or chemotherapy
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a new treatment option for people with advanced solid tumors that have a BRAF gene change and have stopped responding to other therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 1 trial focused mainly on safety and dosing, so it is too soon to know if the drug will effectively shrink tumors. Side effects are possible and will be closely monitored.

This study is seeking participants who meet the following key eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria: * Diagnosis of advanced/metastatic solid tumor including primary brain tumor. * Qualifying BRAF alteration (V600 or non-V600 Class II/Class III BRAF alteration), in tumor tissue and/or blood (ie circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid \[DNA\], or ctDNA). * Disease progressed during/following last prior treatment and no satisfactory alternative treatment options (Part 1, Part 2 (doublet), and Part 3 (cohorts 2, 3, 6, 7)). * Tumor specific cohorts (melanoma, colorectal cancer) must have received specific prior approved therapies * Part 3 (Cohort 1) (BRAF V600 mutant melanoma): Prior BRAF V600 inhibitor therapy required, prior MEK inhibitor therapy required, and immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy required. * Part 3 (Cohort 4) (BRAF V600E CRC): Minimum of 2 cycles of prior 5-FU based chemotherapy required. No prior BRAF inhibitor/EGFR inhibitor allowed. Participants with MSI-H/dMMR mCRC should receive prior immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy. * Part 3 (Cohort 5) (BRAF V600E CRC): No more than 2 cycles of prior 5-FU based chemotherapy allowed. No prior BRAF inhibitor/EGFR inhibitors allowed. Participants with MSI-H/dMMR mCRC should receive prior immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy. Exclusion Criteria: * Brain metastasis larger than 4 cm * Systemic anti-cancer therapy or small molecule therapeutics ongoing at the start of study treatment. * History or current evidence of retinal vein occlusion (RVO) or current risk factors for RVO; history of retinal degenerative disease. * Concurrent neuromuscular disorder associated with elevated creatine kinase (CK).
