• Specific Eligibility Criteria, Part A
• Subjects must meet general eligibility criteria.
• For the initial dose escalation to identify the maximum tolerable or PK target dose, age between 2 years and <18 years (inclusive) at the time of signing the informed consent form. Children < 2 years of age will be enrolled once the age specific expansion cohorts are open.

In subjects with brain stem gliomas the requirement for histological confirmation can be waived if a biopsy was not performed. For plexiform neurofibromas, histologic confirmation of tumor is not necessary in the presence of consistent clinical and radiological findings, but should be considered if malignant degeneration of a PN is clinically suspected.
• Measurable or evaluable tumors. Subjects with neuroblastoma that is only detectable by Meta-iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scan are eligible. Subjects with neuroblastoma that is only detected by bone marrow aspirate/biopsy or elevated homovanillic acid / vanillylmandelic acid (HVA/VMA) are not eligible.

• Specific Eligibility Criteria, Part B
• Subjects must meet general eligibility criteria. The specific eligibility criteria listed here will apply to subjects enrolling to different cohorts of Part B.
• Tumor tissue (archived or fresh) is required and must be available to be shipped to GSK or site specific laboratory.
• Solid tumor cohort (B1) specific criteria
• B1: Refractory or relapsed neuroblastoma
• B2: Recurrent or unresectable low grade gliomas with BRAF tandem duplication with fusion

• Measurable or evaluable disease
• Adequate bone marrow function
• Specific Eligibility Criteria, Part D - Subjects must meet general eligibility criteria
