Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the activity of Vemurafenib in combination with Fotemustine in Patients with unresectable Stage IV melanoma harboring V600 BRAF mutation who recurred while in treatment with Vemurafenib. In addition the feasibility and safety profile of prolonging treatment of this drugs combination will be assessed.
