Study Summary
This trial will test whether a drug called cobimetinib is safe and effective in treating people with extracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs).
Who is the study for?
This trial is for people aged 2-80 with extracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). Participants must be able to take oral medication, have a certain level of physical functioning, and normal organ function. Women who can get pregnant must use two forms of birth control and provide negative pregnancy tests. People with active cancer, severe allergies to cobimetinib components, recent infections or surgeries, heart problems, HIV, CNS hemorrhage history or those on certain medications are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The COBI-AVM study is testing the safety and effectiveness of cobimetinib in treating AVMs located outside the brain. It's an open-label trial where all participants know they're receiving the drug. The goal is to see how well it works and what side effects occur when used for this condition.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Cobimetinib may cause side effects such as diarrhea, rash, liver enzyme elevation indicating potential liver damage, muscle spasms or pain; eye problems like blurred vision; fatigue; nausea; fever; allergic reactions including skin reactions.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Investigational DrugExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Cobimetinib will be administered at a maximal dose of 60 mg daily for 21 days on, then 7 days off, in a 28-Day treatment cycle for 12 cycles (approximately 12 months). Cobimetinib should be taken once daily at approximately the same time each day, and no later than 4 hours after the scheduled time. Cobimetinib can be taken with or without a meal. Cobimetinib tablets should never be chewed, cut, or crushed. Therapy may continue for up to 12 cycles provided the subject meets the criteria for starting subsequent cycles and does not meet any of the criteria for cobimetinib discontinuation. At least 7 days off cobimetinib (within +7 days) is required prior to starting a new treatment cycle.
