New hope for advanced melanoma: targeted drug trial opens
NCT ID NCT07445022
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a drug called tunlametinib in people with advanced melanoma that has a specific NRAS gene change and has not responded to prior immunotherapy. About 110 adults will take the drug by mouth to see if it can shrink tumors and how safe it is. The goal is to control the disease, not cure it.
