In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This is a Phase 2, open-label, single-arm clinical study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Belvarafenib in patients with BRAF-altered primary brain tumors (Cohort 1) and metastatic brain tumors (Cohort 2). Eligible patients are those with a confirmed BRAF alteration identified by next-generation sequencing (NGS). Patients who meet the eligibility criteria will receive a detailed explanation of the study, including its purpose, procedures, potential benefits, and risks. Only patients who voluntarily provide written informed consent will be enrolled. All enrolled patients will receive Belvarafenib monotherapy at a dose of 450 mg twice daily (BID). The study drug will be taken orally within 30 minutes after meals with at least 200 mL of water, preferably at approximately 12-hour intervals each day. One treatment cycle is defined as 28 consecutive days of continuous dosing wi

📋 Eligibility rules (as published)
Inclusion Criteria: (Applicable to Both Cohorts) 1. Male or female patients aged 19 years or older. 2. Histologically confirmed primary brain tumor or metastatic brain tumor. 3. Documented BRAF mutation, including point mutations (e.g., V600E) or BRAF fusion mutations. 4. Willing and able to provide written informed consent prior to participation in the study. 5. Estimated life expectancy of at least 3 months. 6. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-2. 7. Adequate organ function demonstrated by laboratory assessments performed within 14 days prior to the first dose of study treatment, meeting all of the following criteria: * Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 × 10⁹/L * Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL * Platelet count ≥ 100 × 10⁹/L * PT/INR and aPTT ≤ 1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN) * Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN (≤ 3 × ULN for patients with Gilbert syndrome) * AST and ALT ≤ 2.5 × ULN (≤ 5 × ULN in patients with liver metastases) * Alkaline phosphatase ≤ 2.5 × ULN (≤ 5 × ULN in patients with liver or bone metastases) * Albumin ≥ 2.5 g/dL * Amylase ≤ 1.5 × ULN * Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 × ULN or calculated creatinine clearance (CrCl) \> 50 mL/min using the Cockcroft-Gault formula 8. Women of childbearing potential (defined as women from menarche until 1 year after menopause unless permanently sterile) and men with partners of childbearing potential must agree to use highly effective contraception throughout the study and for 3 months after the last dose of Belvarafenib. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test during screening unless surgically sterile. Acceptable contraceptive methods include: * Hormonal contraception * Intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS) * Vasectomy or bilateral tubal occlusion * Complete abstinence Barrier methods (e.g., male or female condoms); if barrier methods are used alone, the use of two complementary barrier methods is recommended. 9. Additional Inclusion Criteria for Cohort 1 (Primary Brain Tumors) 1) Patients with BRAF-mutant primary brain tumors who meet at least one of the following conditions: \- No available or appropriate local treatment options (e.g., surgery or radiotherapy); * Radiographic evidence of disease recurrence or progression following standard therapy (including surgery and/or chemoradiotherapy \[CCRT\]), with no further suitable standard treatment available; * Standard treatment is considered inappropriate or unavailable in the investigator's judgment. 10. Additional Inclusion Criteria for Cohort 2 (Metastatic Brain Tumors) <!-- --> 1. Patients with brain metastases from BRAF-mutant solid tumors. 2. Patients with radiographic evidence of disease progression after receiving the standard treatment for the primary malignancy, or whose disease is refractory to conventional therapy, regardless of prior exposure to BRAF-targeted therapy, and who have no available or appropriate local treatment options (e.g., surgery or radiotherapy). 3. At least one measurable intracranial lesion, with a maximum of five target lesions, as defined by the Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) criteria. Exclusion Criteria: (Applicable to Both Cohorts) 1. History of hypersensitivity to BRAF inhibitors or related compounds. Prior treatment with a BRAF inhibitor is permitted. 2. Presence of hematologic malignancy or double primary malignancies at screening. The following second primary malignancies are permitted: * Carcinoma in situ of the cervix successfully treated at least 1 year before enrollment; * Papillary thyroid carcinoma treated with curative surgical resection; * Completely resected cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. 3. Any of the following: \- Receipt of an investigational medicinal product within 28 days or within five half-lives (whichever is longer) before the first dose of study treatment; \- Major surgery within 28 days before the first dose of study treatment; * Newly initiated or recently increased systemic corticosteroid therapy equivalent to ≥10 mg/day of prednisolone within 28 days before the first dose. * Patients receiving a stable dose for at least 2 weeks or requiring continued corticosteroid treatment after surgery may be enrolled at the investigator's discretion; * Current treatment with systemic immunosuppressive agents or anticipated need for continuous systemic immunosuppression during the study. Topical preparations, inhaled corticosteroids, ophthalmic preparations, and local injections are permitted; * More than five prior systemic anticancer treatment regimens. 4. Unresolved adverse events of CTCAE Grade ≥2 from previous anticancer therapy at screening, except alopecia. 5. Any of the following cardiovascular conditions: * Mean QTcF \>440 msec; * New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III or IV heart failure; * Cardiac metastasis; * Uncontrolled electrolyte abnormalities (hyponatremia, hypokalemia, hypocalcemia, or hypomagnesemia); * Within 6 months before the first dose: unstable angina, acute coronary syndrome (including myocardial infarction), uncontrolled arrhythmia (except sinus arrhythmia or adequately controlled atrial fibrillation for at least 30 days), symptomatic congestive heart failure, cerebrovascular accident, or transient ischemic attack; * Coronary angioplasty, coronary/peripheral artery bypass graft surgery, or coronary stent placement within 6 months before the first dose; * History of congenital long QT syndrome or clinically significant CTCAE Grade ≥2 ventricular or atrial dysrhythmias. 6. Any of the following ophthalmologic disorders: \- History or evidence at screening of retinal vein occlusion (RVO), central serous retinopathy (CSR), or neovascular macular degeneration; \- Intraocular pressure ≥21 mmHg with glaucoma. 7. Current or prior interstitial lung disease (ILD), drug-induced ILD, or radiation pneumonitis requirin
