Brief Summary

This open-label, multi-center, three-period, one sequence study will investigate the effect of ketoconazole on the pharmacokinetics of vemurafenib in patients with unresectable BRAFV600-mutation positive metastatic melanoma or other malignant tumor type that harbors a V600-activating mutation of BRAF without acceptable standard treatment options. Patients will receive a single dose of vemurafenib in Periods A and C and multiple doses of ketoconazole in Periods B and C. Eligible patients will have the option to continue treatment with vemurafenib as part of an extension study (NCT01739764). The anticipated time on study treatment is approximately 19 days.

You may qualify if:

• Male or female patients \>= 18 years old
• Patients with either unresectable Stage IIIc or Stage IV metastatic melanoma positive for the BRAFV600 mutation or other malignant tumor type that harbors a V600-activating mutation of BRAF, as determined by results of cobas® 4800 BRAF V600 mutation test or a DNA sequencing method, and who have no acceptable standard treatment options
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 to 2
• Life expectancy \>= 12 weeks
• Full recovery from the effects of any major surgery or significant traumatic injury within 14 days prior to the first dose of study treatment

You may not qualify if:

• Prior treatment with vemurafenib or other BRAF inhibitor within 42 days of first dose of study drug
• Requirement for immediate or urgent treatment with daily vemurafenib and for whom the intermittent schedule of vemurafenib employed during the 19-day period for this trial is not clinically acceptable

• History of clinically significant cardiac or pulmonary dysfunction
• History of symptomatic congestive heart failure of any New York Heart Association class or serious cardiac arrhythmia requiring treatment
• History of myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to first dose of study drug
