Purpose
The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of the combination of ZelborafTM (vemurafenib) with Nexavar® (sorafenib) or Xalkori® (crizotinib) that can be given to patients with advanced cancer. The safety of these drugs will also be studied.
Vemurafenib is designed to block a protein called BRAFV600E inside the cancer cells, which is involved in cancer cell growth.
Sorafenib is designed to block the function of important proteins in and outside of cancer cells. These proteins are involved in cancer cells growth and new blood vessel development.
Crizotinib is designed to block certain abnormal genes found in cancer cells. This may cause the cancer cells to die.

| Official Title: | A Phase I Trial of Sorafenib (CRAF, BRAF, KIT, RET, VEGFR, PDGFR Inhibitor) or Crizotinib (MET, ALK, ROS1 Inhibitor) in Combination With Vemurafenib (BRAF Inhibitor) in Patients With Advanced Malignancies |
- Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Sorafenib or Crizotinib in Combination With Vemurafenib [ Time Frame: 4 weeks ]If not more than 33% of the participants in cohort develop dose limiting toxicity (DLT), this cohort considered the MTD. MTD defined by DLTs that occur in first cycle (4 weeks) (induction phase). Toxicities described according to the NCI-CTCAE Version 4.0. DLT defined as any clinically grade 3 or 4 non-hematologic toxicity as defined in NCI CTCAE v4.0, expected and believed to be related to study medications (except nausea and vomiting, electrolyte imbalances responsive to appropriate regimens or alopecia), any grade 4 hematologic toxicity lasting at least 3 weeks or longer (as defined by NCI-CTCAE v4.0) or associated with bleeding and/or sepsis; any grade 4 nausea or vomiting > 5 days despite maximum anti-nausea regimens, and any other grade 3 non-hematologic toxicity including symptoms/signs of vascular leak or cytokine release syndrome; or any severe or life-threatening complication or abnormality not defined in the NCI-CTCAE v4.0 that is attributable to therapy.
- Tumor Response [ Time Frame: 8 weeks ]Tumor response defined as one or more of the following: (1) stable disease for more than or equal to 4 months, (2) decrease in measurable tumor (sentinel lesions) by more than or equal to 20% by RECIST criteria, (3) decrease in tumor markers by more than or equal to 25% (for example, a >/= 25% decrease in CA125 for patients with ovarian cancer), or (4) a partial response according to the Choi criteria, i.e., decrease in size by 10% or more, or a decrease in tumor density, as measured by Hounsfield units (HU), by more than or equal to 15%.

Patients with BRAF mutation in cell free DNA (tested in CLIA lab) are also eligible.
- Patients must be >/= 3 weeks beyond treatment with a cytotoxic chemotherapy regimen, or therapeutic radiation, or major surgery. Patients may have received palliative localized radiation immediately before or during treatment provided that radiation is not delivered to the only site of disease being treated under this protocol. For biologic/targeted agents patients must be >/= 5 half-lives or >/= 3 weeks from the last dose (whichever comes first). Patients previously treated with vemurafenib monotherapy do not have to stop medication before they start on the protocol.
