Brief Summary:

The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of vemurafenib that can be given in combination with either everolimus or temsirolimus. The safety of these drug combinations will also be studied.

Vemurafenib is designed to block BRAF inside the cancer cells, which is a mutation that is involved in cancer cell growth.

Temsirolimus and everolimus are designed to block the growth of cancer cells, which may cause cancer cells to die.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Combination Vemurafenib [ Time Frame: First cycle of 28 day cycle ]
    The MTD of combination Vemurafenib and Everolimus or Vemurafenib and Temsirolimus is defined as the highest dose studied in which the incidence of dose limiting toxicity (DLT) was less than one third (33%) of the participants at that dose level. DLT defined as any Grade 3 or 4 non-hematologic toxicity, as defined in NCI CTC v4.0, even if expected and believed related to study medications, any Grade 4 hematologic toxicity lasting two weeks or longer despite supportive care; Grade 3 nausea/vomiting > 48 hours or any Grade 4 nausea/vomiting; 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 NCI-CTCAE that is attributable to therapy.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Tumor Response [ Time Frame: 4 months ]
    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 Choi criteria, i.e., decrease in size by 10% or more, or a decrease in tumor density, as measured in Hounsfield units (HU), by more than or equal to 15%.
