This is a two-part, Phase 1, open-label, multicenter, two-period, one-sequence study to
investigate the effect of itraconazole and rifampin on the PK of vemurafenib following
multiple 960 milligrams (mg) twice daily (BID) dosing in adult participants with

or other malignant tumor types that harbor a V600-activating mutation of BRAF where the
participant has no acceptable standard treatment options.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Participants with age greater than or equal to (>=) 18 years with either unresectable
Stage IIIC or Stage IV metastatic melanoma positive for the BRAF V600 mutation, or
other malignant tumor types that harbor a V600-activating mutation of BRAF
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status 0 to 2
- Life expectancy >=12 weeks
- Adequate hematologic and end organ function obtained within 2 weeks prior to first
dose of study drug
- Female participants of childbearing potential and male participants with partners of
childbearing potential must agree to always use two effective methods of
contraception including at least one method with a failure rate of <1% per year
during the course of the study and for at least 6 months after completion of study
treatment
- Negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days prior to commencement of dosing in women
of childbearing potential
- Absence of any psychological, familial, sociological, or geographical condition
