A Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of FORE8394 in Participants with Cancer Harboring BRAF Alterations
About
Brief Summary
The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy 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 solid tumors, melanoma, thyroid, or recurrent primary CNS tumors harboring BRAF V600E mutation. This will be conducted as four open-label subprotocols (F8394-201A; F8394-201B; F8394-201C; F8394-201D) under one master protocol.

Inclusion Criteria
Subprotocol 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.

- 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. Subprotocol B:

- Alopecia (Grade ≤2)
