Phase 2
Completed
Conditions

Registration Number
NCT04620330
Lead Sponsor

Brief Summary

This study will assess the safety and efficacy of avutometinib (VS-6766) monotherapy or VS-6766 in combination with defactinib in subjects with recurrent Non-small cell lung cancer.

Detailed Description

This is a multicenter, open-label Phase 2 study designed to evaluate safety and tolerability and efficacy of avutometinib (VS-6766) versus avutometinib (VS-6766) in combination with defactinib in subjects with KRAS and BRAF mutant NSCLC following treatment with an appropriate platinum-based regimen and an approved immune checkpoint inhibitor (CPI).
