What the film says

Read the transcript

This trial is for adults with unresectable stage III or IV KIT-mutated melanoma not suitable for local treatment. Standard therapy must have failed, be unsuitable, or be intolerable.

The idea: binimetinib blocks MEK signaling; imatinib blocks KIT and other growth-related kinases. Both are taken orally, binimetinib twice daily and imatinib once daily, in 28-day cycles. Researchers measure tumor responses, safety, and resistance mechanisms. Measurable disease and confirmation of the KIT mutation are required.

This phase 2 study plans 25 patients. Katy Tsai leads at UCSF; San Francisco and La Jolla sites are recruiting.
