Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well the combination of binimetinib and encorafenib work in treating patients with pancreatic cancer with a somatic BRAF V600E mutation. Binimetinib and encorafenib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving binimetinib and encorafenib may work better compared to the usual treatment in treating patients with pancreatic cancer and a somatic BRAF V600E mutation.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To determine the efficacy of the combination of binimetinib and encorafenib as \>= 2nd line of treatment for patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer with BRAF V600E mutation.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine in patients treated with the combination of binimetinib and encorafenib as \>= 2nd line of treatment for patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer with BRAF V600E mutation:

Ia. The median progression-free survival. Ib. The median overall survival. Ic. Duration of response. Id. Time to response. Ie. The safety and tolerability.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive encorafenib orally (PO) once daily (QD) and binimetinib PO twice daily (BID) on days 1-25. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 36 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for up to 5 years.

* Negative pregnancy test done =\< 7 days prior to registration, for women of childbearing potential only
* Willing to return to enrolling institution for follow-up (during the active monitoring phase of the study). Note: During the active monitoring phase of a study (i.e., active treatment), participants must be willing to return to the consenting institution for follow-up
* Ability to swallow the investigational product tablets and capsules
* Willing to provide tissue and blood samples for correlative research purposes

Exclusion Criteria

* REGISTRATION:
* Patients whose tumor harbors a BRAF non-V600E mutation or a BRAF fusion
* Prior therapy with BRAF inhibitor (e.g., encorafenib, dabrafenib, vemurafenib) and/or a MEK inhibitor (e.g., binimetinib, trametinib, cobimetinib)
