NCT ID:
NCT03501368
Brief Summary:
The main purpose of this study is to determine the risks and benefits of ceritinib (ZYKADIA) given in combination with trametinib (MEKINIST) in patients who have progressed on prior melanoma therapy.
Detailed Description:
Ceritinib that has been approved for patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). While ceritinib is not currently FDA-approved specifically in melanoma, researchers believe ceritinib may also help keep melanoma cancer cells from growing and therefore potentially help patients with melanoma as well. Trametinib is currently FDA-approved for melanoma with a BRAFV600-mutation.
