This is a Phase 2, open-label, single-arm clinical study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Belvarafenib in patients with BRAF-altered primary brain tumors (Cohort 1) and metastatic brain tumors (Cohort 2). Eligible patients are those with a confirmed BRAF alteration identified by next-generation sequencing (NGS).
Patients who meet the eligibility criteria will receive a detailed explanation of the study, including its purpose, procedures, potential benefits, and risks. Only patients who voluntarily provide written informed consent will be enrolled.
All enrolled patients will receive Belvarafenib monotherapy at a dose of 450 mg twice daily (BID). The study drug will be taken orally within 30 minutes after meals with at least 200 mL of water, preferably at approximately 12-hour intervals each day. One treatment cycle is defined as 28 consecutive days of continuous dosing without a planned treatment break. Patients will receive treatment for six cycles (approximately six months) as the initial treatment period. Treatment may be extended or discontinued earlier at the investigator's discretion based on clinical benefit, disease status, and tolerability.
During the study, patients will undergo regular clinical evaluations, including physical examinations, vital sign assessments, laboratory tests, and monitoring for adverse events. Radiologic assessments using MRI and/or CT will be performed at scheduled intervals to evaluate tumor response and disease progression. The study aims to determine whether Belvarafenib can control tumor growth, delay disease progression, and improve clinical outcomes in patients with BRAF-altered brain tumors.
If treatment-related toxicities occur, dose reductions are permitted according to the protocol. The dose may be reduced from 450 mg BID to 300 mg BID, and subsequently to 200 mg BID, if clinically indicated. Temporary treatment interruption may also be implemented until toxicity resolves. If unacceptable toxicity persists despite dose modification, treatment will be permanently discontinued.
Study treatment may be discontinued if any of the following occurs: confirmed disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of informed consent, inability to comply with the study protocol, receipt of other anticancer therapies that may interfere with study outcomes, or if the investigator determines that continued treatment is no longer in the patient's best interest. However, if radiologic disease progression is observed but the investigator determines that the patient continues to derive clinical benefit, treatment beyond progression may be considered after discussion with the sponsor, with appropriate documentation of the rationale.
After discontinuation of study treatment, patients will receive the most appropriate subsequent management, including best supportive care (BSC) or other anticancer therapies, as determined by the treating investigator. Follow-up assessments will continue according to the study protocol.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Belvarafenib in patients with BRAF-altered primary and metastatic brain tumors, while also assessing its safety profile. The results of this study are expected to provide important clinical evidence supporting the development of new treatment strategies for patients with BRAF-altered brain tumors.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Belvarafenib, an oral pan-RAF inhibitor, in patients with BRAF-altered primary brain tumors and BRAF-altered metastatic brain tumors.
The study includes two groups of patients:
Cohort 1: Patients with primary brain tumors harboring BRAF alterations. Cohort 2: Patients with metastatic brain tumors harboring BRAF alterations.
The study will evaluate whether Belvarafenib can:
Reduce or control tumor growth. Delay disease progression. Improve survival outcomes. Demonstrate treatment activity in brain lesions as well as in tumors outside the brain (for patients with metastatic disease).
In addition, the study will assess changes in neurological symptoms, physical function, and overall health-related quality of life using the PROMIS Global Health Scale (PROMIS-GH) to better understand the relationship between treatment response and patients' clinical outcomes.
The results of this study are expected to provide important evidence regarding the potential role of Belvarafenib as a treatment option for patients with BRAF-altered primary and metastatic brain tumors.

| Belvarafenib | Drug | Belvarafenib is an oral pan-RAF inhibitor administered at a dose of 450 mg twice daily (BID) in continuous 28-day treatment cycles. Treatment will continue until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, death, or investigator decision. The study evaluates the efficacy and safety of Belvarafenib in patients with recurrent or refractory BRAF-mutant (including V600E and BRAF fusion mutations) primary brain tumors and metastatic brain tumors. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Cohort 1. 6-Month Progression-Free Survival (6m-PFS) | Percentage of participants who remain alive without disease progression at 6 months, assessed according to RANO version 2.0. | 6 months |
| Primary Cohort 2. 6-Month Progression-Free Survival | Percentage of participants who remain alive without disease progression at 6 months, assessed according to RANO-BM. | 6 months |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Progression-Free Survival (PFS) | Time from the first dose of Belvarafenib to disease progression or death from any cause. | Up to 24 months |
| Overall Survival (OS) | Time from the first dose of Belvarafenib to death from any cause. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change from Baseline in PROMIS Global Health Score | Change from baseline in patient-reported global health assessed using the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Global Health Scale (PROMIS-GH). Scores are converted to standardized T-scores (reference population mean = 50, standard deviation = 10). Higher T-scores indicate better global health. Because T-scores are standardized, there is no fixed minimum or maximum possible score. |
