A Randomized Phase 2 Trial of Encorafenib + Binimetinib + Nivolumab vs Ipilimumab + Nivolumab in Braf-V600 Mutant Melanoma with Brain Metastases

Category: Melanoma
Status: Active
Starts: Mar 15, 2023
Trial Number: S2000

Principal Investigator: Jose Galeas, MD

Research Nurse: Wendy Blount, RN, MSN

Description of Trial:

This phase II trial compares the effect of encorafenib, binimetinib, and nivolumab versus ipilimumab and nivolumab in treating patients with BRAF- V600 mutant melanoma that has spread to the brain (brain metastases). Encorafenib and binimetinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Ipilimumab and nivolumab are monoclonal antibodies that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. This trial aims to find out which approach is more effective in shrinking and controlling brain metastases from melanoma.
