A Study of Vemurafenib in Patients With BRAF V600 Mutation-Positive Cancers
Status: Recruiting
Phase:
Diagnosis: Gastrointestinal Malignancies, GYN: Cervical Cancer, GYN: Ovarian, Fallopian, Peritoneal Cancer, GYN: Endometrial/Uterine Cancer
NCT ID: NCT01524978
(View complete trial on ClinicalTrials.gov)
DFCI Protocol ID: 12-097
This open-label, multi-center study will assess the efficacy and safety of vemurafenib in patients with BRAF V600 mutation-positive cancers (solid tumors and multiple myeloma, except melanoma and papillary thyroid cancer) and for whom vemurafenib is deemed the best treatment option in the opinion of the investigator. Patients will receive twice daily oral doses of 960 mg vemurafenib until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent.
