Vemurafenib, 960 mg + Ipilimumab, 10 mg/kg

Participants received vemurafenib, 960 mg, twice daily for 6 weeks (Vem1 Phase). After a washout period of 3-10 days, patients received ipilimumab, 10 mg/kg, every 3 weeks for a maximum of 4 doses. At Week 24, participants received ipilimumab, 10 mg/kg, every 12 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients who did not progress or have unacceptable toxicity in the Vem1 Phase were retreated with vemurafenib (Vem 2 Phase) at the last dose level identified at the end of the Vem1 Phase until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
