IDEAYA: (Melanoma with GNAQ/11 Mutations or PRKC Fusions)

What is the Purpose of this Study?

We are doing this study to find out if an experimental drug called IDE196 (the study drug) is a safe and effective treatment for uveal melanoma (melanoma in the eye) that has spread to another part of the body or other types of cancer with a tumor mutation in genes called GNAQ, GNA11, or PRKC.

What is the Condition Being Studied?

Uveal Melanoma & Other Cancers with Gene Mutations

Who Can Participate in the Study?

Adults ages 18+ who:

  • Are diagnosed with uveal melanoma that has spread to other parts of their body (metastasis); OR
  • Are diagnosed with another form of cancer that has a tumor mutation associated with the genes GNAQ, GNA11, or PRKC

Age Group
Adults

What is Involved?

If you choose to join the study, you will come in for a screening visit to see if you are eligible. During this visit, you will:

  • Have a physical exam
  • Have blood draws and give urine samples
  • Have an eye exam
  • Get a chest X-ray
  • Have lung function tests
  • If applicable, have a tumor biopsy to test for mutations in its genes

If you are eligible, you will continue on to the dosing period. During this period, you will:

  • Take the study drug along with another drug called crizotinib by mouth every day for drug cycles that last 4 weeks each
  • Have images (CT or MRI) taken of your tumors every 2 months for up to a year

The number of drug cycles you do will depend on how your body and cancer respond to the study drug and crizotinib.
