Study Summary
This trial studies how well binimetinib and nivolumab work in treating patients with melanoma. Binimetinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Nivolumab may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving binimetinib and nivolumab together may work better in treating patients with melanoma compared to nivolumab alone.
Who is the study for?
Adults with advanced melanoma that can't be surgically removed or has spread, and who have not responded to previous immunotherapy. They must have normal organ function, no uncontrolled brain metastases, no history of certain heart diseases or severe lung conditions, and cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding. Participants need a tumor suitable for biopsy and agree to use effective contraception.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the combination of Binimetinib (a drug blocking enzymes for cell growth) with Nivolumab (an antibody boosting the immune system against cancer). It aims to see if this combo is more effective than Nivolumab alone in treating unresectable or metastatic BRAF V600 wildtype melanoma.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include skin reactions, high blood pressure, muscle pain, fatigue, nausea, liver issues like elevated enzyme levels in the blood tests indicating potential damage; also risks related to immune system activation such as inflammation in organs.
