Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
• Histologically confirmed cutaneous melanoma that is either Stage IIIC (unresectable) or Stage IV (metastatic), and determined to be BRAF V600E/K mutation-positive using the bioMerieux (bMx) investigational use only (IUO) THxID BRAF Assay (IDE: G120011). The assay will be conducted by a central reference laboratory. Subjects with ocular or mucosal melanoma are not eligible.
• The subject must have a radiologically measurable tumor
• The subject is able to carry out daily life activities without significant difficulty (ECOG performance status score of 0 or 1).
• Able to swallow and retain oral medication
• Sexually active subjects must use acceptable methods of contraception during the course of the study
• Adequate organ system function and blood counts
Exclusion Criteria:
• Prior treatment with a BRAF or a MEK inhibitor
• Prior systemic anti-cancer treatment for Stage IIIC (unresectable) or Stage IV (metastatic) melanoma. Prior systemic treatment in the adjuvant setting is allowed. (Note: Ipilimumab treatment must end at least 8 weeks prior to randomization.)
• The subject has received major surgery or certain tyes of cancer therapy with 21 days of starting treatment
• Current use of prohibited medication listed in the protocol
• Left ventricular ejection fraction less than the lower limit of normal
• Uncontrolled blood pressurl
• History or current evidence of retinal vein occlusion or central serous retinopathy
• Brain metastases unless previously treated with surgery or stereotactic radiosurgery and the disease has been stable for at least 12 weeks
• The subject is pregnant or nursing
