Summary

This trial is to provide access for patients who have completed a Novartis or former GSK-sponsored study and are judged by the investigator as benefiting from continued treatment.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients already taking dabrafenib and/or trametinib in a Novartis or former GSK study, who have met the main goals of that study and are seen by their doctor as benefiting from ongoing treatment. It's not open to those who've had to stop these drugs due to side effects or if the drugs are available commercially with reimbursement in their country.
What is being tested?
The trial provides continued access to dabrafenib and/or trametinib for patients with certain cancers like lung cancer, melanoma, solid tumors, rare cancers, or brain tumors. These medications were part of previous studies by Novartis/GSK where participants showed benefits.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed here, any unresolved toxicities from prior use of dabrafenib/trametinib that led to treatment interruption would exclude someone from this trial. Typically such meds may cause skin reactions, fever, fatigue among other possible side effects.
