What this phase means
Phase 4: the treatment is already approved. This study asks new questions — longer-term effects, other diseases, or how it compares in everyday care.
Phase labels are FDA/ICH categories applied to the registry Phase field. They are not a finding that this study succeeded.
What the registry says happens
If you join, the listed intervention(s) are dabrafenib, or trametinib. The registry lists allocation as randomized. This study is to provide access for patients who are receiving treatment with dabrafenib and/or trametinib in a Novartis-sponsored Oncology Global Development, Global Medical Affairs or a former GSK-sponsored study who have fulfilled the requirements for the primary objective, and who are judged by the investigator as benefiting from continued treatment in the parent study as judged by the Investigator at the completion of the parent study.
They plan to enroll about 100 people at 32 sites. Taking part typically means taking a study drug (or dummy pill) plus check-ins.
