Exclusion Criteria

• •1. Prior first line systemic treatment for the treatment of Stage IIIb or Stage IIIc melanoma, including BRAF or MEK inhibitor (adjuvant immunomodulating agent treatment more than 6 months prior to first dose of study treatment is allowed)
• •2. Symptomatic central nervous system metastatic lesions as determined by the Investigator (patients with radiographically stable, asymptomatic lesions previously irradiated or surgically resected are eligible provided there is no need for systemic corticosteroids and treatment was completed at least 4 weeks before the first dose of study treatment)
• •3. History of malignancy other than melanoma within the last 2 years (basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or carcinoma in situ of the cervix; isolated elevation in prostate specific antigen in the absence of histological or radiographic evidence of prostate cancer is allowed)
• •4. History of or current active autoimmune diseases, including but not limited to inflammatory bowel diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, autoimmune thyroiditis, autoimmune hepatitis, systemic sclerosis (scleroderma and variants), systemic lupus erythematosus, autoimmune vasculitis, autoimmune neuropathies (e.g. Guillain-Barré syndrome). Patients with vitiligo, or other non-serious autoimmune diseases based on the Investigator's assessment, are NOT excluded
• •5. ONLY FOR BRAF POSITIVE PATIENTS: History of retinal vein occlusion (RVO) or ongoing retinal pigment epithelial detachment (RPED)
• •6. History of the following cardiac conditions:
• •1. Congestive cardiac failure of \>Grade 2 severity (see Appendix 1) according to the New York Heart Association (defined as symptomatic at less than ordinary levels of activity)
• •2. Ischemic cardiac event including myocardial infarction within 3 months prior to first dose of study treatment
• •3. Uncontrolled cardiac disease, including unstable angina, uncontrolled hypertension (i.e. sustained systolic blood pressure \>160 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure \>90 mmHg), or need to change medication within 6 weeks of provision of consent due to lack of disease control
• •4. History or presence of sustained bradycardia (≤55 bpm), left bundle branch block, cardiac pacemaker or ventricular arrhythmia. Note: Patients with a supraventricular arrhythmia requiring medical treatment, but with a normal ventricular rate are eligible
• •5. Family history of long QTc syndrome; personal history of long QTc syndrome or previous drug-induced QTc prolongation
• •7. Known abnormal left ventricular ejection fraction on echocardiography or Multi Gated Acquisition (MUGA) scan (less than the lower limit of normal for a patient of that age at the treating institution or \<45%, whichever is lower)
• •8. Current treatment with any agent known to cause Torsade de Points which cannot be discontinued at least five half-lives or two weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment
• •9. Screening 12-lead ECG with a measurable QTc interval calculated according to Fridericia's correction (QTcF) \>450 ms
• •10. Inadequate organ function as defined by the following laboratory values:
• •1. Haematological: absolute neutrophil count ≤1.5 x 109/L, platelets ≤100 x 109/L, haemoglobin ≤9.0 g/dL
• •2. Renal: serum creatinine ≥1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) and creatinine clearance ≥50 mL/minute
• •3. Hepatic: total bilirubin ≥1.5 x institutional ULN, alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST) ≥2.5 x institutional ULN or ≥5.0 x institutional ULN if liver metastases are present
• •4. Coagulation: international normalised ratio or prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time ≥1.5 x institutional ULN if not using anticoagulants (if patient is receiving anticoagulant therapy value must be within therapeutic range for the condition being treated)
• •11. Ongoing infection requiring systemic treatment. Patients who are on prophylactic anti infectives or who have been afebrile for 48 hours following the initiation of treatment are eligible
• •12. Known active infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B or C viruses (screening not required)
• •* Patients who have a history of hepatitis B infection are eligible provided they are hepatitis B surface antigen negative
• •* Patients who have a history of hepatitis C infection are eligible provided they have no evidence of hepatitis C ribonucleic acid using a quantitative polymerase chain reaction assay at least 6 months after completing treatment for hepatitis C infection
• •13. Any conditions which may have significant impact on absorption of BGB324 or dabrafenib or trametinib from the gastrointestinal tract (including but not limited to, celiac disease or Crohn's disease, gastric or bowel resection)
• •14. Any severe or uncontrolled medical conditions which may jeopardise patient safety, compliance with the protocol, or interpretation of study results in the opinion of the Investigator
• •15. Current or recent (within last year) systemic treatment with immunosuppressive or immunomodulating agents (including systemic steroids intended for immunosuppressive effect), or other medications known to have significant impact on the immune system. Topical agents and inhaled steroids are permitted
• •16. Treatment with any medication with a narrow therapeutic index which is predominantly metabolised by cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A4 and cannot be stopped before the first dose of study treatment
• •17. Known hypersensitivity to pembrolizumab or BGB324 or excipients (including lactose intolerance)
• •18. ONLY FOR BRAF POSITIVE PATIENTS: Known hypersensitivity to dabrafenib or trametinib (including lactose intolerance)
• •19. Treatment with histamine receptor 2 inhibitors, proton pump inhibitors or antacids in the 7 days before the first dose of study treatment
