Study Description

This study is an open-label, parallel, 2-cohort, multicenter, investigator-initiated Phase 2 trial. Eligible patients are with recurrent low-grade glioma (grade 1 and grade 2 tumors according to WHO classification) or advanced or recurrent pancreatic cancer harboring BRAF fusion/rearrangement. Patients receive binimetinib 45mg administered orally, twice daily.

Analyses will be performed on each of the two cohorts:

Cohort A: low-grade glioma Cohort B: pancreatic cancer
