Study Summary

This trial tests whether binimetinib can shrink or stop the growth of cancer with an NRAS mutation.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with various cancers, like lymphoma and multiple myeloma, that have a specific NRAS genetic change. Participants need to have good kidney function, normal heart rhythm and ejection fraction, and no severe gastrointestinal issues or active brain lesions. Those with melanoma, previous MEK inhibitor treatments, certain eye diseases or uncontrolled hypertension can't join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Binimetinib's effectiveness on cancers with the NRAS mutation. Binimetinib targets proteins involved in cancer cell growth. The study aims to see if it can shrink these cancers or halt their progression.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects of Binimetinib may include abnormal heart rhythms due to its effect on cardiac proteins, digestive problems since it can affect gastrointestinal function, visual disturbances related to retinal health concerns, and possibly increased blood pressure.
