Summary
Binimetinib has reached the approved stage (maximum clinical phase 4) for at least one indication, so its use in Cervical Cancer would be drug repurposing rather than first-in-human development. This does not mean it is approved for Cervical Cancer. ClinicalTrials.gov lists 3 registered trials linking Binimetinib to Cervical Cancer: 1 is currently recruiting; 2 are active or not yet recruiting. The most advanced is Phase 2 (NCT02465060). It plans or enrolled 6452 participants. Registration activity spans 2015 to 2022. No published literature item is linked to Binimetinib and Cervical Cancer in the OSMF database yet, so the record rests on registry entries alone. Registry entries describe intent to study, not outcomes.
The RepurpOS disease-intelligence file for Cervical Cancer ranks 50 candidate therapeutics from Open Targets, ChEMBL, DGIdb and PubMed; only a minority carry direct clinical evidence, and this page covers one of those. Spontaneous remission context recorded for the condition: CIN2/3 (precancerous): spontaneous regression in 40-60% of CIN2 without treatment; CIN3: regression in ~30%; invasive cervical cancer: no spontaneous regression.

How the evidence score is calculated
- Each registered trial scores by status (recruiting / active / enrolling 3, completed 2.5, not yet recruiting 2, unknown 1, terminated / withdrawn / suspended 0.5) plus a phase bonus (phase 3-4 +2, phase 2 +1, phase 1 +0.5). The trial component is capped at 30.
- Each literature item scores by design (Cochrane review 5, meta-analysis 4, systematic review 3, RCT 3, clinical trial publication 2, curated reference 1.5, other PubMed record 1). The literature component is capped at 30.
- The existing evidence tier adds 15 (A / Strong), 10 (B / Moderate), 5 (C / Preliminary) or 0 (D / Anecdotal).
- Agents approved for any indication (max clinical phase 4) add 5, because an approved agent has an established safety profile that lowers the barrier to repurposing trials.
- The score ranks what has been studied, not what works. It does not read effect sizes or directions of effect.

Mechanism and notes
No mechanism of action is recorded for this pair in the source databases.
OSMF's existing evidence tier for this pair is A (Strong), derived from the strength of the disease association recorded in DGIdb, in this case via the biomarker or target BRAF. The tier describes how well the drug-disease link is documented, not how well the drug works.
Frequently asked questions
Is Binimetinib approved for Cervical Cancer?
Binimetinib has reached the approved stage (maximum clinical phase 4) for at least one indication, so its use in Cervical Cancer would be drug repurposing rather than first-in-human development. This does not mean it is approved for Cervical Cancer. Approval status for the specific indication should always be confirmed with the relevant regulator and prescribing information.
Is Binimetinib in clinical trials for Cervical Cancer?
ClinicalTrials.gov lists 3 registered trials linking Binimetinib to Cervical Cancer: 1 is currently recruiting; 2 are active or not yet recruiting. The most advanced is Phase 2 (NCT02465060). It plans or enrolled 6452 participants. Registration activity spans 2015 to 2022.
What does the evidence show for Binimetinib in Cervical Cancer?
Trials of Binimetinib in Cervical Cancer are registered but none has completed, so there is no outcome evidence from those studies yet; the record is a signal of research interest. OSMF's existing evidence tier for this pair is A (Strong), derived from the strength of the disease association recorded in DGIdb, in this case via the biomarker or target BRAF. The tier describes how well the drug-disease link is documented, not how well the drug works.
