Belvarafenib for BRAF-altered brain tumors
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests a drug called Belvarafenib for people with brain tumors that have a BRAF gene change (mutation). The drug targets this specific change to try to shrink or control the tumor. It is for patients whose brain tumor has come back or hasn't responded to other treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 19 years or older.
- You must have a brain tumor (either one that started in the brain or spread from another cancer) with a specific BRAF gene change (mutation or fusion).
- Your tumor must have grown or come back after standard treatments, or no standard treatments are available.
- You must be able to take care of yourself (ECOG score 0-2) and have a life expectancy of at least 3 months.
- You must have adequate kidney, liver, and blood cell counts as shown by lab tests.
- You must agree to use effective birth control during the study and for 3 months after the last dose (if applicable).

This trial tests a combination of two drugs (belvarafenib and cobimetinib) for people with advanced melanoma that has a specific gene change called NRAS. It is for those who have tried other treatments or cannot take them.
This trial tests a targeted drug, binimetinib, for people with low-grade glioma (a type of brain tumor) or pancreatic cancer that has a specific genetic change called a BRAF fusion. The drug aims to block signals that help these tumors grow.
This Phase 1 trial studies PF-07799933, a new medicine, in people whose advanced solid tumors have specific BRAF genetic changes. It may help if your cancer has continued to grow after standard treatments, and there may be specific options depending on your cancer type and past therapies.
This Phase 1 trial studies how PF-07799544 works and what dose is safest in people with advanced cancer that has a specific genetic change called BRAF V600. You may receive it alone or with another treatment, depending on the tumor group, to see if it can treat the cancer.
This Phase 2 study tests whether a 3-drug plan (encorafenib + binimetinib + nivolumab) works better than ipilimumab + nivolumab for melanoma that has spread to the brain. If you qualify, you’ll get either treatment and have frequent brain scans to track how well it controls the tumors.
This is an early-stage study testing a new investigational drug (HSK42360-Na) designed to target a specific genetic mutation (BRAF V600) found in some advanced or metastatic cancers. The goal is to see if this drug is safe and effective for patients whose cancers have grown despite prior treatments.
