Full Title
A Phase II Study of the Selective BRAF Kinase Inhibitor GSK2118436 in Subjects with Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer and BRAF Mutations (BRF113928)
Purpose
BRAF is a protein that, when mutated, can promote the development and growth of certain cancers. GSK2118436 is an investigational drug designed to inhibit cancer growth by interfering with the activity of mutated BRAF.
In this study, researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of GSK2118436 in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who have mutated BRAF and whose disease continues to grow despite prior therapy. GSK2118436 is a capsule that is taken orally (by mouth).
