NCT06346067

Brief Summary

Stage 1: To select the optimal dose of naporafenib + trametinib to be studied in Stage 2. Stage 2: To compare progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) for patients with NRAS-mutant (NRASm) melanoma who are randomized to receive the combination of naporafenib + trametinib to that of patients who are randomized to physician's choice of therapy (dacarbazine, temozolomide, or trametinib monotherapy).

  • Archival tumor tissue collected within 5 years prior to enrollment must be confirmed to be available at the time of Screening, which may be submitted before or after enrollment for exploratory biomarker analysis.
  • Must have received an anti-PD-1/L1 based regimen (monotherapy or combination). Patient must have documented disease progression either while receiving therapy or within 12 weeks of last dose of the most recent anti-PD-1/L1 based regimen; the patient is eligible if they have received other therapies between the most recent anti-PD-1/L1 based regimen and enrollment.
