Study Summary

This trial is testing a new treatment for cancer that targets a patient's specific genetic makeup.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people aged 12 and older with certain types of cancer, like melanoma or colorectal cancer, that have specific genetic changes in the MAPK pathway. They must have measurable disease progression and provide a tissue sample. It's not for those who've had prior treatment targeting the RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK pathway or have certain eye conditions.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests Tovorafenib alone or combined with Pimasertib on patients with solid tumors having alterations in the MAPK pathway. This includes different substudies focusing on various genetic mutations related to this pathway.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include typical reactions to targeted cancer therapies such as skin rash, fatigue, gastrointestinal issues (like diarrhea), liver enzyme elevation, vision problems, and possibly high blood pressure.

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Phase 1b: Determine the MTD and RP2D of tovorafenib in combination with other therapies

Frequently Asked Questions

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

In which areas is this clinical experiment being conducted?

"The study is currently open at 10 different sites, which includes locations in Pittsburgh, Newport Beach and Aurora. To reduce travel requirements when enrolling, it might be best to select the site closest to you."

Answered by AI

Is enrollment open for this experiment at the present time?

"Confirmed, this clinical trial is open for recruitment based on information posted to clinicaltrials.gov. The study was initiated July 15th 2021 and last revised November 2nd 2022."

Answered by AI

What is the aggregate population participating in this clinical experiment?

"Affirmative. The clinical trials website reveals that this research trial, which was first advertised on July 15th 2021, is still open for participants. They are recruiting 168 individuals from 10 distinct medical sites."

Answered by AI

What is the ultimate purpose of this medical investigation?

"Over the course of up to 48 months, this trial will assess DAY101's efficacy as a monotherapy. Additionally, researchers are looking into its pharmacodynamic profile by measuring changes from baseline in phosphorylated ERK and other biomarkers. The safety and tolerability of DAY101 is being evaluated through treatment-emergent adverse events and laboratory abnormalities. Lastly, tumor responses observed with Day 101 such as time to response for those with complete or partial remission are also being compared against DOR outcomes from prior lines of anticancer treatments."
