You may be eligible if
Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of Stage IV NSCLC (according to AJCC 8th edition) that is BRAF V600E mutation-positive by local test result from a qualified assay (NMPA and/or MOH-approved)
Previously treated or untreated for metastatic NSCLC:
1. Participants previously treated should have received no more than 3 prior systemic therapies for metastatic disease, with at least one prior platinum based chemotherapy, and should have documented disease progression on a prior treatment regimen (i.e. RECIST 1.1)
2. Participants who have received prior therapy with checkpoint inhibitor therapy (i.e. anti-PD-1/PD-L1) must have had objective evidence of disease progression (i.e. RECIST v1.1) while on or after this therapy prior to enrollment.
3. Participants with EGFR or ALK mutation who have previously received therapy with EGFR or ALK inhibitor(s) respectively are eligible
Measurable disease per RECIST v1.1
Anticipated life expectancy of at least 3 months
