Who may be able to join
- PRE-REGISTRATION ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA (ALL PATIENTS) • Tissue available for biomarker testing (any brain metastasis tissue and extracranial site from any prior resection or biopsy).
- REGISTRATION ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA (ALL PATIENTS)
- Participants must have histologically confirmed parenchymal metastatic disease to the brain from any solid tumor. Note: this includes patients that have controlled extracranial disease with progressive intracranial metastasis, as well as patients that have progressive intracranial and extracranial disease.
- New or progressive brain metastases are defined as any one of the following:
- Untreated measurable lesions in patients who have received surgery and/or stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) to one or more other lesions.
- Progressive measurable lesions after radiation, surgery, or prior systemic therapy
Show all 61Show fewer
- Residual or progressive lesions after surgery if asymptomatic.
- Patients who have had prior whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT) and/or SRS and then whose lesions have progressed by BM-RANO criteria or there are new lesions, are eligible. Lesions treated with SRS may be eligible if there is unequivocal evidence of progression. For patients with NTRK or ROS1 mutations, entrectinib may be used for newly diagnosed brain metastases. Similarly, for patients with KRAS G12C mutations, MRTX849 may be used for newly diagnosed brain metastases.
- Patients who have not previously been treated with cranial radiation (e.g. WBRT or SRS) are eligible, but such patients must be asymptomatic or neurologically stable from their CNS metastases.
- Measurable CNS disease (=> 10 mm).
- Ability to obtain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)s with contrast
- No surgery within 2 weeks prior to or after registration.
- No chemotherapy within 14 days prior to registration (Note: for abemaciclib arm, a 21-day chemotherapy washout is required).
- For melanoma, patients must have progressed after prior immune checkpoint blockade or for BRAF positive melanoma, BRAF/MEK inhibitors.
- For lung cancer, EGFR mutant patients must have failed EGFR therapies
- For HER2-positive breast cancer patients (regardless of ER/PR status), patients must have received at least one prior HER-2 directed therapy in the metastatic setting.
- For triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), patients must have received at least one chemotherapy in the metastatic setting.
- For estrogen receptor (ER) and/or progesterone receptor (PR)+ HER2-negative breast cancer, patients must have received at least one endocrine therapy in the metastatic setting.
- Patients who have received prior treatment with any of the targeted treatments on this study are not eligible for that specific treatment arm(s), but could be eligible for other arms (e.g., a patient who has had prior treatment with abemaciclib would not be eligible for the abemaciclib arm, but could be eligible for another arm).
- Presence of clinically actionable alteration in NTRK, ROS1, KRAS G12C or CDK pathway or PI3K pathway in both a brain metastasis and extracranial site per central review.
- Not pregnant and not nursing, because this study involves investigational agents whose genotoxic, mutagenic and teratogenic effects on the developing fetus and newborn are unknown. Therefore, for women of childbearing potential only, a negative pregnancy test done =< 14 days prior to registration is required (Note: for abemaciclib arm, pregnancy test is required =< 7 days prior to registration).
- No known current diffuse leptomeningeal involvement for the CDK, PI3K and NTRK arms (diffuse defined as leptomeningeal involvement throughout the CNS axis).Patients with focal leptomeningeal disease, with or without documented positive CSF cytology, are eligible.

- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) =< 2.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN).
- Creatinine =< 1.5 mg/dL OR calculated (Calc.) creatinine clearance > 45 mL/min except for patients in the adagrasib (MRTX849) (KRAS G12C) arm. For this arm, patients must have creatinine clearance ≥60 mL/min or glomerular filtration rate ≥60 mL/min/1.73m2 calculated using a validated prediction equation (e.g., Cockcroft-Gault, MDRD, or 24-hour urine CrCl).
- No uncontrolled medical comorbidities per investigator discretion (e.g. interstitial lung disease, severe dyspnea at rest or requiring oxygen therapy, severe renal impairment [e.g. estimated creatinine clearance <30ml/min], history of major surgical resection involving the stomach or small bowel, or preexisting Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis or a preexisting chronic condition resulting in baseline Grade 2 or higher diarrhea)
- Radiation to symptomatic non-target sites within neural axis is allowed prior to registration without washout (provided there is at least one untreated target lesion for measurement on study and radiation is completed prior to registration).
- Concurrent systemic corticosteroids are allowed if stable dose of dexamethasone for 7 days prior to registration. Baseline doses and changes in steroid dosing will be captured.
- No concurrent administration of anticancer therapies (except for endocrine therapy or continuation of hormonal therapy or trastuzumab in breast cancer patients for the PI3K and CDK inhibitor arms). . No chemotherapy, targeted therapy or immunotherapy within 14 days prior to entering the study (Note: For abemaciclib arm, a 21-day chemotherapy washout is required).
- Chronic concomitant treatment with strong inhibitors of CYP3A4 is not allowed on this study. Patients on strong CYP3A4 inhibitors must discontinue the drug 14 days or 5 or more half-lives prior to registration on the study.

- Patients with uncontrolled type I or II diabetes mellitus should be excluded. Uncontrolled diabetes is defined as glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) > 9% in addition to fasting glucose > 140 mg/dL on at least 2 occasions within 14 days prior to registration.
- ADDITIONAL REGISTRATION ELIGIBILITY CRITERION FOR ENTRECTINIB ARM
- Concurrent use of H2 receptor antagonists, receptor antagonists, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), and/or antacids are prohibited.
- ADDITIONAL REGISTRATION ELIGIBILITY CRITERION FOR ABEMACICLIB ARM
- Hemoglobin >= g/dL. Patients may receive erythrocyte transfusions to achieve this hemoglobin level at the discretion of the investigator. Initial treatment must not begin earlier than the day after the erythrocyte transfusion.
- Patients who received chemotherapy must have recovered (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events [CTCAE] Grade ≤1) from the acute effects of chemotherapy except for residual alopecia or Grade 2 peripheral neuropathy prior to registration. A washout period of at least 21 days is required between last chemotherapy dose and registration (provided the patient did not receive radiotherapy).
- Patients who received adjuvant radiotherapy must have completed and fully recovered from the acute effects of radiotherapy. A washout period of at least 14 days is required between end of radiotherapy and registration.

Contraceptive methods may include an intrauterine device [IUD] or barrier method. If condoms are used as a barrier method, a spermicidal agent should be added as a double barrier protection. Cases of pregnancy that occur during maternal exposures to abemaciclib should be reported. If a patient or spouse/partner is determined to be pregnant following abemaciclib initiation, she must discontinue treatment immediately. Data on fetal outcome and breast-feeding are to be collected for regulatory reporting and drug safety evaluation.
- Patients with active bacterial infection (requiring intravenous [IV] antibiotics at time of initiating study treatment), fungal infection, or detectable viral infection (such as known human immunodeficiency virus positivity or with known active hepatitis B or C [for example, hepatitis B surface antigen positive] are excluded. Screening is not required for enrollment.
- Patients with personal history of any of the following conditions: syncope of cardiovascular etiology, ventricular arrhythmia of pathological origin (including, but not limited to, ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation), or sudden cardiac arrest, are excluded.
- ADDITIONAL REGISTRATION ELIGIBILITY CRITERION FOR ADAGRASIB (MRTX849) ARM
- Hemoglobin ≥9.0 g/dL. Note: Transfusions will be allowed to achieve this provided the patient has not received more than 2 units of red blood cells in the prior 4 weeks.
- Any of the following cardiovascular abnormalities within 6 months of study entry are excluded: symptomatic or uncontrolled atrial fibrillation, unstable angina pectoris or myocardial infarction, CHF ≥ NYHA Class 3, stroke or transient ischemic attack.
- Ongoing need for medication known to cause prolonged QTc interval or that are substrates of CYP3A4 with narrow therapeutic index that cannot be switched to alternative treatment prior to study entry is excluded.
- Prolonged QTc interval >480 milliseconds or family history or medical history of Long QT syndrome is excluded.•
- Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or acute or chronic hepatitis B or C infection is excluded. Screening is not required for enrollment. Note that the following are permitted:

- Patients with hepatitis B (HBV) receiving prophylaxis against reactivation of hepatitis B (either [HBsAg-positive with normal ALT and HBV DNA <2,000 IU/mL or <10,000 copies/mL] or [HBsAg-negative and anti-HBc positive]).
- History of intestinal disease or major gastric surgery likely to alter absorption of study treatment or inability to swallow oral medications is excluded.
- Recovery from the adverse effects of prior therapy to baseline or Grade 1 (any grade alopecia and Grade ≤2 peripheral neuropathy are eligible).
- For females of childbearing potential. It is not known whether MRTX849 presents a risk to the embryo or the fetus; however, based on the mechanism of action (KRAS G12C inhibition), effects on the reproductive system are not unexpected. MRTX849 is contraindicated in women who are pregnant or lactating. Women of childbearing potential and men receiving MRTX849 who are sexually active must employ an effective method of contraception throughout their period of treatment and for 6 months after their last treatment with MRTX849.

About this study
Official title: Genomically-Guided Treatment Trial in Brain Metastases
This phase II trial studies how well genetic testing works in guiding treatment for patients with solid tumors that have spread to the brain. Several genes have been found to be altered or mutated in brain metastases such as NTRK, ROS1, CDK, PI3K, or KRAS G12C. Medications that target these genes such as abemaciclib, paxalisib, entrectinib and adagrasib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Genetic testing may help doctors tailor treatment for each mutation.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Objective Response Rate in the Brain
Assessed per Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) criteria for brain metastases. The response rate is defined as the number of patients who have achieved complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) per RANO for brain metastases criteria during treatment with CDK, PI3K, NTRK/ROS, or KRAS G12C inhibitors divided by total number of evaluable patients. The response rate and associated exact confidence interval will be estimated within each cohort defined by the targeted agent and histology.
Measured: Up to 5 years
Secondary outcomes (10)
Systemic Response for Extracranial Disease
Assessed with Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 criteria. Will be estimated using the systemic response rate (SRR) - where SRR is defined as the number of evaluable patients achieving a response (PR or CR per RECIST 1.1) during treatment with study therapy divided by the total number of evaluable patients. Point estimates will be generated for systemic response rates within each cohort with corresponding 95% binomial confidence intervals.
Measured: Up to 5 years
Clinical Benefit Rate for Central Nervous System (CNS)
Evaluated by Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) criteria. Will be estimated as the number of evaluable patients achieving stable disease (SD), partial response (PR), or complete response (CR) as their best objective response during treatment with protocol therapy divided by the total number of evaluable patients. Point estimates will be generated for clinical benefit rates within each cohort with corresponding 95% binomial confidence intervals.
Measured: Up to 5 years
Clinical Benefit Rate for Extracranial Disease
Assessed by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST). Will be estimated as the number of evaluable patients achieving stable disease (SD), partial response (PR), or complete response (CR) as their best objective response (per RECIST for extracranial disease) during treatment with protocol therapy divided by the total number of evaluable patients. Point estimates will be generated for clinical benefit rates within each cohort with corresponding 95% binomial confidence intervals.
Measured: Up to 5 years
Duration of Response for Brain Metastases
Duration of response for brain metastases is defined for all evaluable patients who have achieved a confirmed response as the time from the date at which the patient's objective status for brain metastases is first noted to be a CR or PR (per Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology [RANO] for brain metastases) to the date of the earliest progressive CNS disease is documented or death. The median and 95% confidence intervals will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier estimator. No formal comparison will be made among the cohorts.
Measured: From the time measurement criteria are met for CR or PR for brain metastases until the first date that progressive CNS disease or death is documented, assessed up to 5 years
Duration of Response for Extracranial Disease
Duration of response for extracranial disease is defined for all evaluable patients who have achieved a confirmed response as the time from the date at which the patient's objective status for extranial disease is first noted to be a CR or PR (per RECIST1.1) to the date of the earliest progression (PD) for extracranial disease is documented or death. The median and 95% confidence intervals will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier estimator. No formal comparison will be made among the cohorts.
Measured: From the time measurement criteria are met for CR or PR for extracranial disease until the first date that progressive disease for extracranial disease or death is documented, assessed up to 5 years
Progression-free Survival (PFS) - Intracranial
Intracranial PFS is defined as the time from the first day of study treatment to the earliest date of intracranial disease progression (per RANO for brain metastases) or death from any cause, whichever comes first. The median and 95% confidence intervals will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier estimator. No formal comparison will be made among the cohorts.
Measured: From first day of study treatment to the earliest date documentation of intracranial disease progression or death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years
Progression-free Survival (PFS) - Extracranial
Extracranial PFS is defined as the time from the first day of study treatment to the earliest date of extracranial disease progression (per RECIST1.1) or death from any cause, whichever comes first. The median and 95% confidence intervals will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier estimator. No formal comparison will be made among the cohorts.
Measured: From the first day of study treatment to the earliest date of documentation of extracranial disease progression or death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years
Site of First Progression
The site of first progression will be estimated descriptively within each cohort within 12 and 24 months after starting protocol treatment. The first progression is defined as the first documented central nervous system (CNS) progression per Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) or extracranial progression per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), whichever occurs first. The percentage of extracranial progression at first progression within 12 and 24 months after starting protocol treatment will be estimated as number of patients who experience the first progression which is extracranial progression divided by number of patients who are still at risk up to 12 and 24 months, respectively.
Measured: Up to 24 months
Overall Survival
Overall survival is defined as the time from the first day of study treatment to death due to any cause. The median and 95% confidence intervals are estimated using the Kaplan-Meier estimator. No formal comparison will be made among the cohorts.
Measured: From the first day of study treatment to death due to any cause, assessed up to 5 years
Incidence of Adverse Events
Assessed per National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0, toxicity is defined as adverse events that are classified as possibly, probably, or definitely related to study treatment. Toxicities will be evaluated via the ordinal CTCAE standard toxicity grading. Overall toxicity incidence as well as toxicity profiles by patient and treatment cohort will be explored and summarized. Frequency distributions, graphical techniques and other descriptive measures will form the basis of the analysis. No formal comparison will be made among the cohorts.
Measured: Up to 5 years

What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Abemaciclib, PI3K Inhibitor paxalisib and Entrectinib in people with CDK Gene Mutation and Metastatic Malignant Neoplasm in the Brain, run by Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology at 435 sites in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 61 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 435 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 30 Oct 2026). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Objective Response Rate in the Brain (time frame: Up to 5 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03994796, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Oct 2026.
