New drug targets rare BRAF mutations in advanced cancers
NCT ID NCT06400225
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a drug called ulixertinib in people with advanced cancers that have specific changes in the BRAF gene (fusions or non-V600 mutations). The drug blocks signals that tell cancer cells to grow. About 35 adults with solid tumors, lymphoma, or multiple myeloma that haven't responded to other treatments will take part. The main goal is to see if the drug can shrink or slow the cancer.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients must have met applicable eligibility criteria in the Master MATCH Protocol EAY131/ NCI-2015-00054 prior to registration to treatment subprotocol * Patients must fulfill all eligibility criteria of MATCH Master Protocol at the time of registration to treatment step (Step 1, 3, 5, 7) * Patients must have a BRAF non-V600 mutation or BRAF fusion, or another BRAF aberration, as determined via the MATCH Master Protocol * Patients with BRAF V600E/K/R/D mutations are excluded * Patients must have an electrocardiogram (ECG) within 8 weeks prior to treatment assignment and must have no clinically important abnormalities in rhythm, conduction or morphology of resting ECG (e.g. complete left bundle branch block, third degree heart block) * Patients must not have known immediate or delayed hypersensitivity reaction or idiosyncrasy to drugs chemically related to BVD-523FB (ulixertinib), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), or excipients * Patients must not have a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \< the institutional lower limit of normal (LLN) or \< 50% (whichever is higher) * Patients must not have prior use of MEK or ERK 1/2 inhibitors * Patients must not have a history of retinal vein occlusion (RVO) or central serous retinopathy. Patients with visible retinal pathology as assessed by ophthalmologic exam that is considered a risk factor for retinal vein thrombosis or central serous retinopathy will be excluded * Intraocular pressure is ≤ 21mm Hg as measured by tonography. Patients diagnosed with glaucoma within 1 month prior to Step 1 registration are excluded * Patients must not have leptomeningeal metastases or spinal cord compression due to disease * Patients must not have primary malignancy of the central nervous system
