Multicenter, Open-label, Phase 1 Study Investigating the Safety and Tolerability of Encorafenib Monotherapy in BRAF V600E-mutated Chinese Patients With Advanced Metastatic Solid Tumors

This is a phase 1, multicenter, open-label, single-arm study to investigate the safety and tolerability of encorafenib 300 mg once daily (QD) monotherapy in adult Chinese participants with B-RAF Proto-oncogene, Serine/threonine Kinase V600E (BRAF V600E) mutant advanced solid tumors (unresectable metastatic melanoma or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)), who are BRAF-inhibitor treatment-naïve and have failed the previous therapy(ies) in the metastatic setting or are not eligible to standard therapy. Participants will be eligible for the study based on identification of a BRAF V600E mutation in tumor tissue by a local National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) approved assay obtained prior to screening.
