Phase 1
Terminated
Conditions
V600-mutated BRAF Unresectable Melanoma
V600-mutated BRAF Metastatic Melanoma
Stage III or Stage IV Metastatic Melanoma That Has Not Been Previously Treated With a Selective BRAF Inhibitor

Drug: PLX3397
Drug: vemurafenib
Registration Number
NCT01826448
Lead Sponsor
Daiichi Sankyo
Brief Summary
