A Phase 2 interventional study of Binimetinib Pill and Hydroxychloroquine Pill in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer and KRAS Mutation-Related Tumors, sponsored by Abramson Cancer Center at Penn Medicine. Completed at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-04-01.

This study will evaluate using hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) along with binimetinib as an effective method for treating cancer. All patients will receive binimetinib at a standard dose approved for other cancers. The dose of HCQ will also be fixed based on ongoing phase I studies. Eligible subjects will have lung cancer that has a mutation in a key cancer gene called KRAS, and the cancer has spread to other parts of their body.

Patients will be treated with B 45 mg two times daily and HCQ 400 mg twice daily beginning on day 1. The dose of HCQ is based on an ongoing Phase 1 trial, and may be modified in a future amendment prior to the first patient enrolled. Efforts will be made to ensure dose homogeneity throughout the trial. Treatment will be administered on an outpatient basis on a 28 day cycle
