Part 1 To evaluate BGB324 safety in combination with dabrafenib/trametinib and to select the dose level of BGB324 for combination treatment with dabrafenib/trametinib in patients with advanced melanoma.
Part 2 To evaluate safety and efficacy of pembrolizumab and dabrafenib/trametinib in combination with BGB324 compared to pembrolizumab and dabrafenib/trametinib alone as first line treatment in patients with advanced melanoma.
Part 3 To explore safety and efficacy of pembrolizumab or dabrafenib/trametinib in combination with BGB324 and pembrolizumab or dabrafenib/trametinib alone as second line treatment in BRAF+ patients with advanced melanoma failing first line treatment in Part 2 of the study.
