  • Patient covered by a national health insurance
  • Male or female aged at least 18 years old.
  • Histologically confirmed diagnosis of NSCLC that is currently Stage IV (M1a, M1b or M1c AJCC 8th edition). If there is any doubt about the diagnosis please contact IFCT. If diagnosis of NSCLC is only confirmed cytologically, patient may be eligible if a cytoblock is available - this must be discussed and approved by IFCT prior to inclusion.
  • ECOG performance status of 0-1.
  • Able to swallow and retain oral medication.
  • Presence of a BRAFV600E mutation in lung cancer tissue as determined by a local laboratory assay.
  • The Investigator must confirm prior to enrolment that the patient has adequate tumor tissue available to determine BRAFV600E mutation status by central laboratory for confirmation. Note: Tumor tissue collected after the patient was diagnosed with metastatic disease is preferred. Tumor tissue sample must not be from locations previously radiated. Tumor sample must be 1 block (or 10 to 15 unstained slides of analyzable tissue) and 1 H&E slide.
  • Patients i) (COHORT A) who are either treatment-naïve (e.g., no prior systemic therapy for advanced/metastatic disease), ii) (COHORT B) who are in progression after having received 1) firstline platinum-based chemotherapy OR 2) first-line treatment with an anti-PD-1/L-1 inhibitor given alone or in combination with platinumbased chemotherapy or in combination with immunotherapy (e.g, ipilimumab) with or without platinum-based chemotherapy. Note: Alternative chemotherapy regimens are acceptable if the patient was platinum intolerant or ineligible. Patients with early stage disease (e.g., Stages I-III) who have had surgery followed by chemotherapy (e.g., treatment in the adjuvant setting), radiation therapy and/or immunotherapy, and present with new lesions or evidence of disease recurrence (e.g., metastatic disease), within 12 months of completing chemotherapyadjuvant treatment, would be considered as had received a first-line therapy. Maintenance therapy given after first-line therapy in the metastatic setting will not be considered a separate regimen, provided there was no documentation of disease progression between completion of first-line therapy and the start of maintenance therapy.
  • Presence of measurable disease based on RECIST v1.1.
