Study Summary

This trial is testing a new combination of drugs to treat melanoma. The goal is to find the best dose of the new drugs while monitoring for side effects.

Who is the study for?
Adults with unresectable BRAF V600 mutated melanoma can join this trial. They must have a performance status indicating they are relatively active, agree to use contraception, and not be pregnant or nursing. Prior treatments for cancer are okay if side effects have settled, but no past use of BRAF, MEK or HSP90 inhibitors is allowed. Participants need functioning major organs and cannot have untreated brain metastases or certain serious health conditions.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study aims to find the highest dose of XL888 that's safe when taken with vemurafenib and cobimetinib in patients with advanced melanoma. It will also assess how well participants tolerate this drug combination.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include issues related to liver, kidney or bone marrow function; digestive problems; skin reactions from the drugs; fatigue; vision changes due to retinal complications; and possible heart problems.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Are there any open enrollment opportunities for this research project?

"At this time, the trial is not accepting applicants. This research was first advertised on August 11th 2016 and its parameters were last edited on September 30th 2022. Those seeking alternative studies can look at 817 clinical trials for skin cancer or 74 for XL888 that are currently recruiting patients."

Answered by AI

Has the Food and Drug Administration accepted XL888 as a legitimate remedy?

"The limited data available in regards to XL888's safety and efficacy led our team at Power to assign it a score of 1 on the 1-3 scale."

Answered by AI

Have any other experiments previously been conducted using XL888?

"Currently, 74 studies are being conducted to explore the efficacy of XL888. Of those trials, 4 have reached Phase 3 and most sites for study participants are located in Taipei or New South Wales. However, there is a total number of 2116 locations with active clinical research involving this medication."

Answered by AI

What clinical conditions does XL888 target most frequently?

"Patients with metastatic melanoma, non-small cell lung carcinoma and unresectable melanoma may find relief from XL888 medication."

Answered by AI

What is the current size of the cohort enrolled in this research project?

"Unfortunately, this research is not currently recruiting participants. Initially posted on August 11th 2016 and recently updated September 30th 2022, it is inactive at the moment. However, 817 trials are presently looking for individuals with skin cancer and 74 studies require volunteers for XL888 treatments."
