A Study to Evaluate KIN-2787 in Participants With BRAF and/or NRAS Mutation Positive Solid Tumors

April 22, 2026 updated by: Pierre Fabre Medicament

A Phase 1/1b Open-label, Multicenter Study to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Antitumor Activity of KIN-2787 in Participants With BRAF and/or NRAS Mutation-positive Solid Tumors.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and preliminary efficacy of KIN-2787 in adults with BRAF/NRAS-mutated advanced or metastatic solid tumors.

Study Overview

Status

Active, not recruiting

Detailed Description

This is a two-part, open-label, multi-center, dose escalation and dose expansion study in participants with BRAF mutation-positive and/or NRAS mutation-positive tumors designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of KIN-2787, a RAF small molecule kinase inhibitor, to determine a recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of KIN-2787, and to assess the objective response to KIN-2787 therapy alone and in combination with binimetinib, a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MEK) inhibitor.

The dose expansion phase (Part B) will assess the safety and efficacy of KIN-2787 at the recommended dose and schedule in patients with cancers that contain BRAF Class I, II or III mutations, including lung cancer, melanoma, and other selected solid tumors.
