Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (≥19 years) with histologically or cytologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic melanoma harboring an NRAS mutation, at least one measurable lesion, ECOG ≤2, adequate organ function, and no prior RAF/MEK/ERK inhibitor therapy are ideal candidates.

Probably not a fit

Patients with prior RAF/MEK/ERK inhibitor exposure, significant retinal or cardiac disease, recent major bleeding (CTCAE Grade ≥3 within 4 weeks), or inadequate organ function are unlikely to be eligible or to benefit from this regimen.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a Phase 2, open‑label, single‑arm, multicenter trial of oral belvarafenib combined with cobimetinib given in 28‑day cycles to adults with NRAS‑mutant locally advanced or metastatic melanoma. The study will enroll patients who have measurable disease, adequate organ function, and an ECOG performance status of 0–2 and who have not received prior RAF/MEK/ERK inhibitors. Key outcomes include objective response rate, disease control rate, duration of response, time to progression, progression‑free survival, overall survival, and safety. Safety monitoring will include assessments for retinal, cardiac, bleeding, hematologic, hepatic, and renal adverse events.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the combination could provide a new targeted option that shrinks tumors or prolongs disease control for patients with NRAS‑mutant melanoma.

How similar studies have gone: MEK inhibitor monotherapy has shown only modest activity in NRAS‑mutant melanoma, and combining a RAF‑targeted agent with a MEK inhibitor is a relatively novel approach with limited published clinical data to date.
