A Study to test the combination of two new drugs for nine rare cancer types.

Conditions: Mutations of BRAF V600E have been identified at a high frequency in melanoma, PTC, colorectal and ovarian cancers. Such mutations have also been reported in some rare cancers such as anaplastic thyroid cancer, hairy cell leukemia, gastrointestinal stromal tumors, non-seminomatous/non-geminomatous germ cell tumors, biliary tract cancer, multiple myeloma, adenocarcinoma of the small intestine, World Health Organization Grade 1 and 2 gliomas and WHO Grade 3 and 4 gliomas.

Inclusion Criteria

ALL subjects must meet
Please refer to section 8 of the Protocol 01 for cohort specific criteria.

all of the following inclusion criteria in order to be considered eligible for this study:
1. Signed, written informed consent
2. Sex: male or female
3. Age: > or = to 18 years of age at the time of providing informed consent
4. ECOG performance status: 0, 1 or 2
5. Subject must have histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced disease (as stated in the histology-specific inclusion/exclusion criteria [see Section 8]) and no available standard treatment options as determined by locally/regionally available standards of care.
6. BRAF V600E mutation-positive tumor:
a. Local testing: Local BRAF mutation test results obtained by an approved local laboratory may be used to permit enrollment of subjects with positive results. Local BRAF mutation test results will be subject to central verification.
b. Central testing: Local BRAF mutation test results will be confirmed by central testing in an approved, designated central reference laboratory by the THxID BRAF assay or an alternate GSK designated assay.
NOTE: For central testing, FFPE core bone marrow (BM) biopsies are not acceptable from subjects in the MM cohort.
7. Able to swallow and retain orally administered medication.
NOTE: Subject should not have any clinically significant gastrointestinal (GI) abnormalities that may alter absorption such as malabsorption syndrome or major resection of the stomach or bowels. For example, subjects should have no more than 50% of the large intestine removed and no sign of malabsorption (i.e., diarrhea).
NOTE: If clarification is needed as to whether a condition will significantly affect the absorption of study treatments, contact the GSK Medical Monitor.
8. Female Subjects of Childbearing Potential: Subjects must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days prior to the first dose of study treatment and agrees to use effective contraception, as defined in Section 10.1, throughout the treatment period and for 4 months after the last dose of study treatment.
9. French subjects: In France, a subject will be eligible for inclusion in this study only if either affiliated to or a beneficiary of a social security category.
