Study Summary

This trial is testing the safety and effectiveness of two drugs, E6201 and dabrafenib, for patients with melanoma that has spread to the brain.

Who is the study for?
Adults (18+) with stage IV BRAF V600-mutated melanoma that has spread to the brain. They must have at least one brain metastasis, be willing to use contraception, and have certain organ functions within normal limits. Prior immunotherapy is allowed if there's disease progression after treatment. Excluded are those with uncontrolled illnesses, recent heart issues, or who've had extensive prior treatments for metastatic disease.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests E6201 combined with dabrafenib on patients with melanoma in the brain due to a specific mutation (BRAF V600). It aims to find the safest dose and see how well these drugs work together compared to when they're used alone.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include but are not limited to: fatigue, fever, skin rash, headache, joint pain, nausea. More serious risks may involve changes in liver function tests or development of new skin cancers.
