Brief Summary:
This is a Phase II, open-label, non-randomized, multi-center study of oral Dabrafenib in combination with oral Trametinib in subjects with rare cancers including anaplastic thyroid cancer, biliary tract cancer, gastrointestinal stromal tumor, non-seminomatous germ cell tumor/non-geminomatous germ cell tumor, hairy cell leukemia, World Health Organization (WHO) Grade 1 or 2 glioma, WHO Grade 3 or 4 (high-grade) glioma, multiple myeloma, and adenocarcinoma of the small intestine, with BRAF V600E positive-mutations. This study is designed to determine the overall response rate (ORR) of oral Dabrafenib in combination with oral Trametinib in subjects with rare BRAF V600E mutated cancers. Subjects will need to have a fresh or frozen tumor tissue sample provided to confirm the BRAF V600E mutation status. Only subjects with histologically confirmed advanced disease and no available standard treatment options will be eligible for enrollment. Subjects will undergo screening assessments within 14 days (up to 35 days for ophthalmology exam, echocardiogram or disease assessments) prior to the start of treatment to determine their eligibility for enrollment in the study.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Dabrafenib + Trametinib
Subjects will receive Dabrafenib 150 mg twice daily orally plus Trametinib 2 mg once daily orally on a continuous basis. Dabrafenib will be administered under fasted conditions, either 1 hour (hr) before or 2 hours (hrs) after a meal with approximately 200 mL of water with an interval of 12 hours. Trametinib will be administered under fasted conditions, either 1 hr before or 2 hrs after a meal with approximately 200 mL of water. Subjects will take their dose of Trametinib concurrently with the morning dose of Dabrafenib. A treatment cycle is 28 days in duration. Subjects will continue treatment until an unacceptable toxicity, disease progression, or death occurs.
Drug: Dabrafenib
Dabrafenib is a 150 mg twice daily capsule administered orally on a continuous basis.

Drug: Trametinib
Trametinib is a 2 mg once daily tablet administered orally on a continuous basis.




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Overall response rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: Possibly up to Week 208 ]
    To determine the ORR as measured radiographically via Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 for solid tumor histologies or established response criteria for specific hematologic malignancies.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Duration of response [ Time Frame: From the time of first documented evidence of CR or PR until the first documented sign of disease progression or death (approximately up to Week 208) ]
    Duration of response is defined as the subset of subjects who show a confirmed clinical response (CR) or partial response (PR), the time from first documented evidence of CR or PR until the first documented sign of disease progression or death.

  2. Investigator-assessed Progression-free survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: Possibly up to Week 208 ]
    PFS is defined as the time from the date of enrollment to the earliest date of progression or death.

  3. Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Until death or lost to follow-up (approximately up to Week 208) ]
    OS is defined as the time from the date of enrollment to the date of death due to any cause.

  4. Change from baseline in physical examination findings [ Time Frame: Possibly up to Week 208 ]
    Examination will include assessments of the head and neck, eyes, ears, nose, throat, skin, thyroid, neurological, lungs, cardiovascular, abdomen (liver and spleen), lymph nodes, extremities and genitalia. Height (measured only at Screening) and weight will be measured and recorded. Complete physical examinations will also include thorough rectal and genitourinary (pelvic) examinations to assess secondary malignancies.

  5. Change from baseline in vital signs [ Time Frame: Possibly up to Week 208 ]
    Vital sign measurements will include systolic and diastolic blood pressure, temperature, pulse rate and respiratory rate

  6. Number of subjects with Adverse events (AEs) [ Time Frame: Possibly up to Week 208 ]
    AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a subject or clinical investigation subject, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product.

  7. Change from baseline in laboratory values [ Time Frame: Possibly up to Week 208 ]
    Laboratory assessments include haematology, clinical chemistry, urinalysis, coagulation and histology-specific tests

  8. Change from baseline in cardiac assessments [ Time Frame: Possibly up to Week 208 ]
    Cardiac assessments include Electrocardiogram (ECG) and Echocardiograms (ECHOs)
