PFS is defined as the interval of time between the date of randomization and the earlier of the date of disease progression or the date of death due to any cause. Disease progression was based on radiographic or photographic evidence, and assessments were made by the investigator according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. PD is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as a reference, the smallest sum of diameters recorded since the treatment started (e.g., percent change from nadir, where nadir is defined as the smallest sum of diameters recorded since treatment start). In addition, the sum must have an absolute increase from nadir of 5 millimeters (mm). For participants who did not progress or die, PFS was censored at the date of last contact. Data are presented as median and 96% confidence interval.

PFS is defined as the interval of time between the date of randomization and the earlier of the date of disease progression or the date of death due to any cause. Disease progression was based on radiographic or photographic evidence, and assessments were made by an independent radiologist according to RECIST version 1.1. PD is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as a reference, the smallest sum of diameters recorded since the treatment started (e.g., percent change from nadir, where nadir is defined as the smallest sum of diameters recorded since treatment start). In addition, the sum must have an absolute increase from nadir of 5 mm. For participants who did not progress or die, PFS was censored at the date of last contact.

OIR is defined as the number of participants whose intracranial response was a confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) assessed by investigators using modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), version 1.1. CR is defined as disappearance of all lesions. PR is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as a reference, the Baseline sum of the diameters (e.g., percent change from Baseline). For the primary analysis, OIR was measured when all participants in both treatment arms had two post-Baseline disease assessments. Participants who had an intracranial response of not evaluable or a missing response were treated as non-responders. Confirmation assessments were to be performed no less than 4 weeks after the criteria for response were initially met and may have been performed at the next protocol scheduled assessment.

A participant was defined as a responder if he/she achieved either a CR (the disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes must be \<10 millimeter (mm) in the short axis.) or PR (at least a 30 percent decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as a reference, the Baseline sum of the diameters \[e.g., percent change from Baseline\]). To be assigned a status of PR or CR, a confirmatory disease assessment was required at Week 12 if an initial response was seen at the Week 6 scan. Initial responses (CR/PR) that occured at Week 12 or later were required to be confirmed not less than 4 weeks and not more than 6 weeks after the criteria for response were first met. The analysis was performed on Primary efficacy Population which comprised of all participants who received at least one dose of GSK2118436 (All Treated Participants Population) and had a BRAF V600E mutation.

Safety and tolerability parameter will include a complete (head, eyes, ears, nose, throat, skin, thyroid, neurological, lungs, cardiovascular, abdomen \[liver and spleen\], lymph nodes, extremities, height and weight) and brief (skin, lungs, cardiovascular system, abdomen \[liver and spleen\] and weight) physical examination at Baseline and at the end of Part 1 of the study.

Safety and tolerability parameter will include measurement of vital signs (recording of systolic and diastolic blood pressure, temperature, and pulse rate) at Baseline and at the end of Part 1 of the study.

Safety and tolerability parameter will include ECGs readings (heart rate and measurement of RR, PR, QRS, QT, and QTc intervals) at Baseline and at the end of Part 1 of the study.

Safety and tolerability parameter will include laboratory values (hematology, clinical chemistry, coagulation, liver function tests, cardiac enzyme and beta-hCG/serum or urine pregnancy test for female subjects of childbearing potential only) at Baseline and at end of Part 1 of the study.

Change from Baseline in QTcF interval at each time point for GSK2118436 will be calculated as average of 3 Holter ECG replicates per time point minus the value at Baseline.

Adverse Events will be graded by the investigator according to the NCI-CTCAE (version 4.0)
