Testing Trametinib as a Potential Targeted Treatment in Cancers With NF1 Genetic Changes (MATCH-Subprotocol S1) (NCT04439318)

MATCH Treatment Subprotocol S1: Phase II Study of Trametinib in Patients With Tumors With NF1 Mutations

🔵 Active, Not Recruiting Phase2 💊 Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: National Cancer Institute (NCI)

🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This phase II MATCH treatment trial identifies the effects of trametinib in patients whose cancer has a has a genetic change called NF1 mutation. Trametinib blocks proteins called MEK1 and MEK2, which may be needed for cancer cell growth when an NF1 mutation is present. Researchers hope to learn if trametinib will shrink this type of cancer or stop its growth.
