Brief Summary:
This BVD-523-ABC study builds on the safety and clinical activity experience of previous studies that have evaluated ulixertinib as a novel targeted cancer treatment in cohorts of patients with specific genetic alterations and tumor histologies that result in aberrant MAPK pathway signaling. Early clinical data have demonstrated anti-tumor activity with ulixertinib treatment and have identified specific groups of patients for whom additional development is warranted.

This multi-center, phase II study will be conducted in two parts and assess the clinical benefit, safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of ulixertinib (BVD-523) in patients with advanced malignancies.
Part A (tumor histology agnostic) will be open label and enroll patients to one of six groups based on their tumor alteration.
- Group 1: Patients with tumors, other than colorectal cancer (CRC), having a BRAF alteration that results in an amino acid change at positions G469, L485, or L597.
- Group 2: Patients with tumors, other than CRC, having a defined Class 2 BRAF alteration (see Appendix 2 of protocol).
- Group 3: Patients with tumors, other than CRC, having an atypical BRAF alteration (non V600) that is not specified in Group 1 or Group 2.
- Group 4: Patients with CRC having any atypical BRAF alteration.
- Group 5: Patients with tumors, other than CRC, harboring alterations in MEK1/2.
- Group 6: Patients with CRC harboring alterations in MEK1/2.
Part B (tumor histology specific) will randomly enroll patients with one of up to three specified tumor histologies to receive either ulixertinib or the physician's choice of treatment in a 2:1 ratio. Tumors must harbor a specified MEK or atypical BRAF alteration. If a patient progresses on physician's choice of treatment, crossover to the ulixertinib arm is permitted.The specific histologies to be included in this part will be selected based on available data and discussion with the clinical investigators, the medical monitor, and the sponsor.

Primary Outcome Measures :
- Part A: Overall Response Rate (ORR) according to RECIST 1.1 [ Time Frame: Up to 30 months ]ORR will be defined as the percentage of patients achieving a Best Overall Response (BOR) of confirmed Complete Response (CR) and/or Partial Response (PR). Patients will be evaluated at baseline & at periodic follow-up visits through the time their participation in the study is complete.The best responses will occur at different time points for each patient.
- Part B: Progression Free Survival (PFS) according to RECIST 1.1 [ Time Frame: 18 months ]PFS will be defined as time from first day of study drug to disease progression as adjudicated by the independent review committee or death. Patients with no event will be censored at the last available tumor assessment.
Secondary Outcome Measures :
- Part A: Duration of Response (DOR) according to RECIST 1.1 [ Time Frame: Up to 30 months ]Time from first response to disease progression (DP) or death; assessed until DP, death, or initiation of subsequent anticancer therapy. Patients with no event will be censored at the last available tumor assessment.
- Part A: Progression Free Survival (PFS) according to RECIST 1.1 [ Time Frame: 18 months ]PFS will be defined as time from first day of study drug to disease progression or death. Patients with no event will be censored at the last available tumor assessment. This analysis will be based on investigator assessment.
- Part A: Overall Survival (OS) according to RECIST 1.1 [ Time Frame: 18 months ]OS will be defined as time from first day of study drug to death. Patients with no event will be censored at the last date the patient is known to be alive.
- Part A: Cmax of BVD-523 at steady state [ Time Frame: Single time point drawn at Visit 4/approximately day 15 (or whenever the patient reaches steady state). ]Single time point taken prior to taking study drug (trough) at steady state. Steady state is defined as patients who have received at least 5 days, or 10 consecutive doses, of study drug.
- Part B: Overall Survival (OS) of ulixertinib compared to physician's choice of treatment [ Time Frame: 18 months ]OS will be defined time from first day of study drug to death. Patients with no event will be censored at the last date the patient is known to be alive.
- Part B: Overall Response Rate (ORR) of ulixertinib compared to physician's choice of treatment, according to RECIST 1.1 [ Time Frame: Up to 30 months ]ORR will be defined as the percentage of patients achieving a Best Overall Response (BOR) of confirmed Complete Response (CR) and/or Partial Response (PR). Patients will be evaluated at baseline & at periodic follow-up visits through the time their participation in the study is complete.The best responses will occur at different time points for each patient.
- Part B: Duration of Response (DOR) of ulixertinib compared to physician's choice of treatment, according to RECIST 1.1 [ Time Frame: Up to 30 months ]Time from first response to disease progression or death; assessed until DP, death, or initiation of subsequent anticancer therapy. Patients with no event will be censored at the last available tumor assessment.
