Summary

This trial will study ulixertinib in treating patients with solid tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or histiocytic disorders that have a mutation in the MAPK pathway.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with advanced solid tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or histiocytic disorders that have MAPK pathway mutations. Participants must be able to swallow capsules and have a body surface area of at least 0.54 m^2. They should not have received prior ERK inhibitors and must meet certain blood count criteria without recent transfusions.
What is being tested?
The study tests the effectiveness of Ulixertinib in treating cancers with specific genetic changes in the MAPK pathway. It's for those whose cancer has spread or can't be removed by surgery, focusing on how well this drug stops cancer growth.
What are the potential side effects?
While not explicitly listed here, side effects may include typical reactions to cancer medications such as nausea, fatigue, liver issues, skin reactions and potential risks associated with swallowing capsules if there are gastrointestinal complications.
