Ph 1 Trial of E6201 + Dabrafenib initiated in Patients with CNS Metastases from BRAF V600 Mutated Metastatic Melanoma

By utilizing a targeted drug against BRAF- or MEK-mutated melanoma CNS metastases with excellent brain penetration and retention, we hope to provide a more effective therapeutic in combination with dabrafenib than achieved with the currently available targeted agents and immunotherapies,” said Dr. Linda Paradiso, Chief Development Officer for Spirita Oncology. “We are fully committed to deliver breakthrough therapies using innovative approaches for patients with devastating metastatic brain melanoma.”
