Ages Eligible for Study: | 10 Years and older (Child, Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria
Group A:
- Male and female, ≥10 years of age, and weighing ≥30 kg.
- Histologic diagnosis of a solid tumor or primary CNS tumor.
- Documentation of BRAF gene fusion in tumor and/or blood detected by an analytically validated test by DNA sequencing or RNA (transcriptome) sequencing at CLIA or CLIA-equivalent laboratory or sponsor-designated central laboratory.
- Have an archival tissue sample at less than 24 months from date of screening available with sufficient tumor for central next generation sequencing (NGS) testing and biomarker analyses, or >24 months if the participant has never received targeted therapy. If an archival tissue sample is not available, a newly obtained (before treatment) tumor biopsy may be submitted instead.
- Consent to provide scan(s) prior to baseline to assess change in tumor trajectory (at least 2 preferred). For participants with LGG, every effort should be made to provide 3 to 4 pre-baseline scans to the central imaging vendor whenever feasible.
- Received all available standard therapy, is intolerant to available therapies, or the investigator has determined that treatment with standard therapy is not appropriate.
-
All adverse events related to prior therapies (chemotherapy; radiotherapy; surgery) must have resolved to Grade 1 or baseline except for
- Alopecia (Grade ≤2)
- Sensory neuropathy (Grade ≤2)
- Other adverse events that have resolved to Grade ≤2 that, according to the clinical judgment of the investigator, do not constitute a safety risk to the participant.
Group B:
- Male and female, ≥10 years of age, and weighing ≥30 kg.
-
Histological diagnosis of a primary CNS tumor, including but not limited to the following:
- Adults (≥18 years) with Grade 1-4 glioma or glioneuronal tumor (including glioblastoma, anaplastic astrocytoma, high grade astrocytoma with piloid features, pilocytic astrocytoma, gliosarcoma, anaplastic pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma, anaplastic oligodendroglioma, anaplastic oligoastrocytoma, not otherwise specified [NOS], ganglioglioma, or recurrent LGG).
- Pediatric patients (10-17 years of age) with a Grade 3 or 4 glioma or glioneuronal tumor, including those with a prior, histologically confirmed, diagnosis of a low-grade glioma or glioneuronal tumor and now have radiographic or histopathological findings consistent with WHO [2021] Grade 3 or 4 primary CNS tumor.
- Participants must have unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic disease that:
i. Had prior treatment with radiotherapy and/or first-line chemotherapy or concurrent chemoradiation therapy OR
- Note: Participants who have a WHO Grade 3 or 4 glioma for whom chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy is not considered standard of care may remain eligible for the study. Consult the Medical Lead to discuss and determine if participant is eligible for enrollment.
ii. Is intolerant to available therapies OR iii. The investigator has determined that treatment with standard therapy is not appropriate.
- Documented BRAF V600E mutation in tumor and/or blood detected by an analytically validated test by NGS or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods and locally approved assays at CLIA or CLIA-equivalent laboratory approved by sponsor or sponsor-designated central test. Sponsor review of the report is required, and testing of BRAF alteration is required at sponsor's central laboratory.
- An archival tissue sample at less than 24 months from date of screening available with sufficient tumor for central NGS testing* and biomarker analyses, or >24 month if the participant has never received a targeted therapy, or fresh biopsy is required if the archival sample is not available for retrospective confirmation test. Tissue obtained most proximal to initiating this subprotocol is preferred.
- Measurable disease based upon RANO HGG for high-grade tumors or RANO LGG for the low grade tumors, as determined by the radiographic BICR.
-
All adverse events related to prior therapies (eg, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery) must have resolved to Grade 1 or baseline except for:

- Agents that are known strong inducers or inhibitors of CYP3A4 (other than cobicistat). Restrictions include foods or herbal medications, including grapefruit juice and grapefruit/grapefruit related citrus fruits (eg, Seville oranges, pomelos), and St. John's Wort.
- Agents that are contraindicated with cobicistat. Note: For participants with no other option except agents with potential drug interactions with cobicistat, but which are not contraindicated, the dose of that agent must be altered or the regimen must follow the cobicistat prescribing information and be approved by the medical monitor.
Group B:
- Prior treatment with BRAF, ERK, and/or MEK inhibitor(s).
- Known or suspected neurofibromatosis-1 (NF-1) and/or Ras related gene alterations.
