Mirdametinib in Patients With Advanced NF1-mutant Melanoma

A Pilot Study of Mirdametinib in Patients With Advanced Melanoma With an NF1 Mutation

Mirdametinib in Patients With Advanced NF1-mutant Melanoma (NCT07237100) is a Phase 2 interventional studying Advanced Unresectable Melanoma and Metastatic Melanoma, sponsored by Kevin Kim, MD. RECRUITING as of the most recent ClinicalTrials.gov update. Talk to your doctor before contacting the trial site.

About This Trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate clinical efficacy of mirdametinib in patients with advanced NF1-mutant melanoma whose disease has progressed while on or after previous immunotherapy. The main questions this study aims to answer are: * To evaluate the feasibility of conducting a prospective single-center clinical trial of mirdametinib in patients with advanced NF1-mutant melanoma whose disease progresses during or after PD-1 antibody-based checkpoint inhibitor therapy. * To evaluate preliminary clinical efficacy of mirdametinib in patients with advanced NF1-mutant melanoma whose disease has progressed while on or after previous immunotherapy * To evaluate the safety profile of mirdametinib in patients with advanced NF1-mutant melanoma

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 2 trials evaluate whether a treatment actually works against Advanced Unresectable Melanoma and continue monitoring side effects. Phase 2 enrolls larger groups (typically 100–300 patients) and produces the first real efficacy signal. A successful Phase 2 readout is what unlocks the much larger Phase 3 confirmatory trials needed for FDA approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

With a target enrollment of 10 participants, this is a small study — typical of early-phase research, rare-disease trials, or pilot studies designed to generate preliminary signal before a larger study is launched.

Is participating in a clinical trial safe?

Clinical trials in the United States are regulated by the FDA and overseen by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review the protocol for safety. Risk varies by trial — Phase 1 studies test new treatments in humans for the first time, while Phase 3 trials use treatments that have already passed earlier safety screening. The informed consent document for any specific trial details the known risks and what to expect. Discuss those risks with your physician before deciding whether to participate.
