Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial is testing a new medication called LXH254, used in combination with other treatments, for people with a type of skin cancer that can't be removed by surgery and has spread. These patients have already tried other treatments. LXH254 works by blocking signals in the cancer cells to slow or stop their growth.
