Targeted Therapy for Solid Tumors
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This ComboMATCH patient screening trial is the gateway to a coordinated set of clinical trials to study cancer treatment directed by genetic testing. Patients with solid tumors that have spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or have spread to other places in the body (advanced) and have progressed on at least one line of standard systemic therapy or have no standard treatment that has been shown to prolong overall survival may be candidates for these trials. Genetic tests look at the unique genetic material (genes) of patients' tumor cells. Patients with some genetic changes or abnormalities (mutations) may benefit from treatment that targets that particular genetic mutation. ComboMATCH is designed to match patients to a treatment that may work to control their tumor and may help doctors plan better treatment for patients with locally advanced or advanced solid tumors.
Do I need to stop my current medications for the trial?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial team or your doctor.
Is binimetinib safe for humans?
Binimetinib has been studied in various clinical trials and has shown an acceptable safety profile in patients with certain types of cancer, such as melanoma and non-small-cell lung cancer. It has been tested alone and in combination with other drugs, and the studies have helped determine safe dosage levels for humans.12345
What makes the drug combination of Binimetinib, Fulvestrant, Ipatasertib, Leucovorin, Nilotinib, Olaparib, Palbociclib, Selumetinib, and Sotorasib unique for treating solid tumors?
This drug combination is unique because it targets specific genetic and immunological changes in solid tumors, potentially improving survival by using multiple agents that affect different pathways. This approach is part of a new wave of targeted therapies that aim to personalize treatment based on the tumor's characteristics, offering hope for better outcomes in cancers that have limited treatment options.678910
What data supports the effectiveness of the drug Binimetinib for treating solid tumors?
Research shows that Binimetinib, when used with other drugs, has shown effectiveness in treating advanced solid tumors, especially in cases with specific genetic mutations like BRAF and NRAS in melanoma. It has also been studied in combination with other treatments for colorectal cancer and non-small cell lung cancer, showing potential benefits.1341011

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for adults with advanced solid tumors that have spread and are not responding to standard treatments or lack treatment options proven to extend life. Participants need available tumor tissue samples, must be in fair health (ECOG 0-2), and willing to undergo genetic testing of their tumors. It's not suitable for those who've had a good response to recent therapies.Inclusion Criteria
Timeline for a Trial Participant
Screening
Participants are screened for eligibility to participate in the trial
Registration
Patients undergo tumor mutational screening of previously-collected tumor samples for specific, pre-defined mutations, amplifications, or translocations of interest via tumor sequencing.
Treatment
Patients with mutations targeted to investigational combination therapies are assigned to 1 of 20 treatment subprotocols. Treatment includes various drug administrations and monitoring procedures.
Follow-up
Participants are monitored for safety and effectiveness after treatment. Follow-up includes CT or MRI scans and blood sample collections.
