A Study of Vemurafenib in Previously Treated Patients With Metastatic Melanoma

Summary

This open-label single arm study will assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of Vemurafenib in previously treated patients with metastatic melanoma. Patients will receive oral Vemurafenib \[RG7204; PLEXXIKON: PLX4032\] at a dose of 960 mg b.i.d. continuously until disease progression or withdrawal from study and will be assessed at regular intervals for tumour response and tolerability. Target sample size is \<100 patients.
