Ulixertinib for Cancer
Trial Summary
Do I need to stop my current medications to join the trial?
The trial requires that you stop taking certain medications, such as other anti-cancer agents, investigational drugs, and specific drugs that affect liver enzymes (CYP3A4, CYP1A2, and CYP2D6) at least 14 days before joining. If you're on corticosteroids, you need to be on a stable or decreasing dose for at least 7 days before enrolling.
What is the purpose of this trial?
This phase II Pediatric MATCH trial studies how well ulixertinib works in treating patients with solid tumors that have spread to other places in the body (advanced), non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or histiocytic disorders that have a genetic alteration (mutation) in a signaling pathway called MAPK. A signaling pathway consists of a group of molecules in a cell that control one or more cell functions. Genes in the MAPK pathway are frequently mutated in many types of cancers. Ulixertinib may stop the growth of cancer cells that have mutations in the MAPK pathway.
