A Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of FORE8394 in Participants With Cancer Harboring BRAF Alterations

Study Purpose

The objective of this Master Protocol is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of plixorafenib in participants with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors, or recurrent or progressive primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors harboring BRAF fusions, or in participants with rare BRAF V600-mutated solid tumors, melanoma, thyroid, or recurrent primary CNS tumors.

Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Experimental: Subprotocol C

Participants with advanced, rare, non-CNS solid tumors harboring BRAF V600E mutations will receive plixorafenib administered with cobicistat, continuously in 3-week cycles until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or other reason for withdrawal.
