2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Confirm the presence of BRAF V600E mutation in tumor specimens prior to initiation of treatment with ZELBORAF. ( 2.1 ) Recommended dose: 960 mg orally twice daily taken approximately 12 hours apart with or without a meal. ( 2.2 ) 2.1 Patient Selection for Treatment of Melanoma Confirm the presence of BRAF V600E mutation in melanoma tumor specimens prior to initiation of treatment with ZELBORAF [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] . Information on FDA-approved tests for the detection of BRAF V600 mutations in melanoma is available at http://www.fda.gov/CompanionDiagnostics. 2.2 Recommended Dose The recommended dose of ZELBORAF is 960 mg (four 240 mg tablets) orally every 12 hours with or without a meal. A missed dose can be taken up to 4 hours prior to the next dose. Treat patients with ZELBORAF until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs. Do not take an additional dose if vomiting occurs after ZELBORAF administration, but continue with the next scheduled dose. Do not crush or chew the tablets. 2.3 Dose Modifications For New Primary Cutaneous Malignancies: No dose modifications are recommended. For Other Adverse Reactions: Permanently discontinue ZELBORAF for any of the following: Grade 4 adverse reaction, first appearance (if clinically appropriate) or second appearance QTc prolongation > 500 ms and increased by > 60 ms from pre-treatment values [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] Withhold ZELBORAF for NCI-CTCAE (v4.0) intolerable Grade 2 or greater adverse reactions. Upon recovery to Grade 0–1, restart ZELBORAF at a reduced dose as follows: 720 mg twice daily for first appearance of intolerable Grade 2 or Grade 3 adverse reactions 480 mg twice daily for second appearance of Grade 2 (if intolerable) or Grade 3 adverse reactions or for first appearance of Grade 4 adverse reaction (if clinically appropriate) Do not dose reduce to below 480 mg twice daily. 2.4 Dose Modification for Strong CYP3A4 Inducers Avoid concomitant use of strong CYP3A4 inducers during treatment with ZELBORAF [see Drug Interactions (7.1) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . If concomitant use of a strong CYP3A4 inducer is unavoidable, increase the dose of ZELBORAF by 240 mg (one tablet) as tolerated. After discontinuation of a strong CYP3A4 inducer for two weeks, resume the ZELBORAF dose that was taken prior to initiating the strong CYP3A4 inducer.

Unresectable or Metastatic Melanoma with BRAF V600E Mutation This section describes adverse drug reactions (ADRs) identified from analyses of Trial 1 and Trial 2 [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . Trial 1 randomized (1:1) 675 treatment-naive patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma to receive ZELBORAF 960 mg orally twice daily or dacarbazine 1000 mg/m 2 intravenously every 3 weeks. In Trial 2, 132 patients with metastatic melanoma and failure of at least one prior systemic therapy received treatment with ZELBORAF 960 mg orally twice daily. Table 1 presents adverse reactions reported in at least 10% of unresectable or metastatic melanoma patients treated with ZELBORAF. The most common adverse reactions of any grade (≥ 30% in either study) in ZELBORAF-treated patients were arthralgia, rash, alopecia, fatigue, photosensitivity reaction, nausea, pruritus, and skin papilloma. The most common (≥ 5%) Grade 3 adverse reactions were cuSCC and rash. The incidence of Grade 4 adverse reactions was ≤ 4% in both studies. The incidence of adverse events resulting in permanent discontinuation of study medication in Trial 1 was 7% for the ZELBORAF arm and 4% for the dacarbazine arm. In Trial 2, the incidence of adverse events resulting in permanent discontinuation of study medication was 3% in ZELBORAF-treated patients. The median duration of study treatment was 4.2 months for ZELBORAF and 0.8 months for dacarbazine in Trial 1, and 5.7 months for ZELBORAF in Trial 2.

Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. Neoplasms benign, malignant and unspecified (incl. cysts and polyps): Progression of pre-existing chronic myelomonocytic leukemia with NRAS mutation [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders: Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS syndrome) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] . Blood and lymphatic systems disorder: Neutropenia Injury, poisoning and procedural complications: Radiation sensitization and recall [see Warnings and Precautions (5.10) ]. Gastrointestinal disorders: Pancreatitis Renal and urinary disorders: Acute interstitial nephritis, acute tubular necrosis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.11) ]. Musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders: Dupuytren's contracture and plantar fascial fibromatosis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.12) ].

12.3 Pharmacokinetics The pharmacokinetics of vemurafenib were determined in patients with BRAF mutation-positive metastatic melanoma following 15 days of 960 mg twice daily with dosing approximately 12 hours apart. The population pharmacokinetic analysis pooled data from 458 patients. At steady-state, vemurafenib exhibits linear pharmacokinetics within the 240 mg to 960 mg dose range. Absorption The mean bioavailability of vemurafenib at steady state was 64% (56% CV). The median time to reach maximum plasma vemurafenib concentration (T max ) was 3 hours following multiple doses. The mean (± SD) C max and AUC 0-12 were 62 ± 17 µg/mL and 601 ± 170 µg*h/mL, respectively. The median accumulation ratio estimate from the population pharmacokinetic analysis for the twice daily regimen is 7.4, with steady-state achieved at approximately 15 to 22 days. In clinical trials, vemurafenib was administered without regard to food. A food effect study has demonstrated that a single dose of vemurafenib administered with a high-fat meal increased AUC by approximately 5-fold, increased C max by 2.5-fold, and delayed T max by approximately 4 hours as compared to the fasted state. QTc prolongation may occur with increased exposures as vemurafenib is associated with concentration-dependent QTc interval prolongation [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ] . Distribution Vemurafenib is highly bound (> 99%) to human albumin and alpha-1 acid glycoprotein plasma proteins. The population apparent volume of distribution is estimated to be 106 L (with 66% inter-patient variability). Metabolism Following oral administration of 960 mg of 14 C-vemurafenib, mean data showed that vemurafenib and its metabolites represented 95% and 5% of the components in plasma over 48 hours, respectively. Elimination Following oral administration of 960 mg of 14 C-vemurafenib, approximately 94% of the radioactive dose was recovered in feces and approximately 1% was recovered in the urine. The population apparent clearance is estimated to be 31 L/day (with 32% inter-patient variability). The median elimination half-life estimate for vemurafenib is 57 hours (the 5th and 95th percentile range is 30 to 120 hours). Specific Populations Hepatic Impairment : The pharmacokinetics of vemurafenib were examined in patients with metastatic melanoma enrolled in the clinical trials with normal hepatic function (n=158, total bilirubin ≤ ULN) and mild (n=58, total bilirubin 1.0–1.5 × ULN), moderate (n=27, total bilirubin 1.5–3 × ULN), or severe (n=3, total bilirubin > 3 × ULN) hepatic impairment. Patients received vemurafenib 960 mg orally twice daily. The apparent clearance of vemurafenib in patients with mild and moderate hepatic impairment was similar to that in patients with normal hepatic function. The appropriate dose for patients with severe hepatic impairment cannot be determined as clinical and pharmacokinetic data were available for only three patients [see Use in Specific Populations (8.6) ]. Renal Impairment : The pharmacokinetics of vemurafenib were examined in patients with metastatic melanoma enrolled in the clinical trials with normal renal function (CLcr ≥ 90 mL/min) and mild (n=94, CLcr > 60 to 89 mL/min), moderate (n=11, CLcr 30 to 59 mL/min) or severe (n=1, CLcr < 29 mL/min) renal impairment. Patients received vemurafenib 960 mg orally twice daily. The apparent clearance of vemurafenib in patients with mild and moderate renal impairment was similar to that in patients with normal renal function. The appropriate dose for patients with severe renal impairment cannot be determined as clinical and pharmacokinetic data were available for only one patient [see Use in Specific Populations (8.7) ]. Age, Body Weight, Sex, and Race : Based on the population pharmacokinetic analysis, age, body weight, and sex do not have a clinically important effect on the exposure of vemurafenib. There are insufficient data to evaluate potential differences in the pharmacokinetics of vemurafenib by race. Drug Interaction Studies Effect of Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors: Coadministration of 960 mg ZELBORAF twice daily with once daily doses of 200 mg itraconazole, a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor, increased steady state vemurafenib AUC 0-τ by 40% (90% CI: 21%, 61%) with a similar magnitude of increase in C max [see Drug Interactions (7.1) ]. Effect of Strong CYP3A4 Inducers: Coadministration of 600 mg daily doses of rifampin (a strong CYP3A inducer) with a single 960 mg dose of ZELBORAF decreased vemurafenib AUC by 40% (90% CI: 24%, 53%) with no effect on C max , relative to a 960 mg dose of ZELBORAF administered alone [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) , Drug Interactions (7.1) ] . Effect of Vemurafenib on CYP Substrates: In vitro studies suggest that vemurafenib is an inhibitor of CYP1A2, 2A6, 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, and 3A4/5. Coadministration of tizanidine 2 mg (a sensitive CYP1A2 substrate) on day 21 with vemurafenib which was administered 960 mg twice daily for 21 days increased tizanidine AUC inf by 4.7-fold (90% CI: 3.6, 6.3) and C max by 2.2-fold (90% CI: 1.7, 2.7) in 16 cancer patients [see Drug Interactions (7.2) ] . In an in vivo phenotypic cocktail drug-drug interaction study in patients with cancer, a single dose of the CYP probe substrate cocktail (for CYP1A2, 2D6, 3A4, 2C19 and 2C9) was administered before and concomitantly with vemurafenib (following 15 days of dosing at 960 mg twice daily). Coadministration of vemurafenib increased the mean AUC of caffeine (CYP1A2 substrate) by 2.6-fold [see Drug Interactions (7.2) ]. Coadministration of vemurafenib increased the mean AUC of dextromethorphan (CYP2D6 substrate) by 47% and the AUC of S-warfarin (CYP2C9 substrate) by 18%, while it decreased the mean AUC of midazolam (CYP3A4 substrate) by 39%. Coadministration of vemurafenib did not change the mean systemic exposure to omeprazole (CYP2C19 substrate) . Effect of Vemurafenib on Transporters: In vitro studies suggest that vemurafenib is both a substrate and an inhibitor of the efflux transporters P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and Breast Cancer Resistance Protein (BCRP). Administration of vemurafenib 960 mg twice daily for 22 days increased digoxin AUC by 1.8-fold (90% CI:1.6, 2.0) and C max by 1.5-fold (90% CI:1.3, 1.7) in 26 cancer patients who were coadministered a single dose of digoxin 0.25 mg (sensitive P-gp substrate) [see Drug Interactions (7.4) ] .
