Vemurafenib and Cobimetinib in Treating Patients With BRAF V600E Mutation Positive Craniopharyngioma
NCT03224767 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
This phase II trial studies how well vemurafenib and cobimetinib work in treating patients with BRAF V600E mutation positive craniopharyngioma. Vemurafenib and cobimetinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT03224767
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT03224767 describes a study currently listed as active not recruiting. It is categorized as Phase 2, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 24 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology, which has 147 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with BRAF V600E Mutation Present appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 4 interventions — of which Quality-of-Life Assessment is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT03224767 reports 20 study locations spanning 3 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include California, Connecticut, Alabama. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
