Treatment of Advanced Mucosal Melanoma with NRAS Mutation

Clinical Scenario
NRAS mutation

This protocol applies to patients with advanced, unresectable, or metastatic mucosal melanoma in whom an NRAS gene mutation is confirmed. Molecular testing for NRAS status is central to treatment selection in this setting.

Why NRAS Status Defines This Approach

MEK inhibition shows acceptable tolerability and substantial clinical activity specifically in patients with NRAS-mutated melanoma, making NRAS mutation a key factor in directing therapy for advanced or metastatic disease.

Treatment Approach — Partial Overview

The strategy centres on targeted therapy with a MEK inhibitor, addressing the NRAS-driven signalling pathway. The complete regimen, sequencing, and monitoring guidance are detailed in the full protocol.

Full agent selection, dosing, and decision algorithm are available in the structured protocol below.

But MEKi shows acceptable tolerability and substantial clinical activity in patients with NRAS-mutated melanoma.

The results of the phase II study showed that tunlametinib had an ORR of 34.7% and an mPFS of 4.2 months in advanced melanoma.
