Study Summary

The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of vemurafenib that can be given in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel patients with advanced cancer. The safety of the study drug combination will also be studied. Vemurafenib is designed to block a protein (called mutated BRAF) that is only found in moles (spots) of the skin and certain types of cancer cells. This drug may slow the growth of or kill these cells. Carboplatin is designed to slow the growth of cancer cells by stopping them from making new DNA (the genetic material of cells). Paclitaxel is designed to slow the growth of cancer cells by stopping them from dividing into new cells.

Primary Outcome

Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) defined as highest dose studied in which the incidence of the dose limiting toxicity (DLT) is \< 33%. If at any time more than or equal to one third of participants at a dose level experience DLT, that dose is considered to be above the MTD.
