Clinical summary

Summary

This study is looking at how safe and how well tolerated a targeted drug KIN-2787 (exarafenib) is alone and in combination with another drug (binimetinib) by people with BRAF/NRAS-mutated advanced or metastatic solid cancers.

The study will be divided into two parts. In part A, first group of eligible participants will be given KIN-2787 orally twice daily in 28-day treatment cycles. Second group will be given a combination of KIN-2787 and binimetinib. KIN-2787 will be administered orally twice daily in 28-day cycles and binimetinib will be administered twice daily for 5 days on, 2 days off for 28-day cycles. In part A treatment will be given in increasing doses. 

In part B, first group will be given KIN-2787, orally twice daily in 28-day cycles. Second group will recieve a combination of KIN-2787 (exarafenib) and binimetinib. KIN-2787 will be administered orally twice daily in 28-day cycles and binimetinib will be administered twice daily for 5 days on, 2 days off for 28-day cycles. The dose of drugs used in part B will be determined by the results of part A.
