What this trial studies

This observational study aims to evaluate the efficacy of dabrafenib and trametinib in patients with rare BRAF V600E mutation-positive unresectable or metastatic solid tumors. Participants, aged 6 years and older, will be treated with these medications as part of their standard care, regardless of their involvement in the trial. The study will include patients who have not previously received these treatments, ensuring a focus on new cases. The effectiveness will be assessed through measurable lesions as defined by RECIST criteria.

Why it matters
