NameTypeDescriptionInterventions
Binimetinib and EncorafenibExperimentalPatients will be initially enrolled to the approved dose of encorafenib 450 mg oral QD and binimetinib 45 mg PO BID, dose level 1. If confirmed this dose level is safely tolerated in the study population, we will then escalate treatment to dose level 2 with the novel dosing regimen of encorafenib 450 mg oral QD continuous and binimetinib 60 mg oral BID 21 days on/7 days off.
