Brief Summary

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

This study will evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and activity of belvarafenib as a single agent and in combination with either cobimetinib or cobimetinib plus nivolumab in patients with NRAS-mutant advanced melanoma who have received anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy.

Detailed Description

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

The study will evaluate three treatment regimens in three arms: a belvarafenib monotherapy arm (Belva arm); a belvarafenib plus cobimetinib arm (Belva + Cobi arm) in an initial dose-finding phase followed by an expansion phase and a belvarafenib plus cobimetinib plus nivolumab arm (Belva + Cobi + Nivo arm) in a run-in phase followed by an expansion phase.

* Treatment with systemic immunotherapy agents (e.g., anti-CTLA4, anti-PD(L)1, cytokine therapy, investigational therapy, etc.) within 28 days prior to C1D1
* Symptomatic, untreated, or actively progressing CNS metastases
* History or signs/symptoms of clinically significant cardiovascular disease
* Known clinically significant liver disease
* History of autoimmune disease or immune deficiency
* Prior treatment with a MEK inhibitor (cobimetinib arm)
* History of or evidence of retinal pathology on ophthalmologic examination (cobimetinib arm)
* History of immune-related AE attributed to prior anti-PD(L)1 therapy that resulted in permanent discontinuation of anti-PD(L)1 therapy (nivolumab arm)
