- NCT03340506RecruitingPhase 4
Follow-on treatment study for dabrafenib and trametinib
This study lets people who finished a prior dabrafenib/trametinib trial (sponsored by Novartis or former GSK) continue those medicines if the study doctor thinks it will help. It mainly focuses on ongoing treatment benefit rather than testing a new drug.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT02154022Enrolling by invitation

What taking part in a solid tumor cancer study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
