Description: For this open-label phase 1 study (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03158103), researchers are investigating the safety and tolerability of binimetinib (an MEK inhibitor) plus pexidartinib (a CSF-1R inhibitor) among patients with a GIST.
Patients will receive oral pexidartinib twice daily (400 mg in the morning and 200 mg in the evening) for 2 weeks followed by binimetinib 30 mg twice daily with pexidartinib throughout a 28-day treatment cycle. Varying doses of each medication will be administered.
The primary outcome is to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) after 1 year of treatment; the 3+3 format will be used to guide dose escalation based on toxicities observed in the first cycle of therapy. Secondary outcome measures include the number of participants with a complete or partial response.
The estimated study enrollment is 40 patients.
