For:
Oral, 45 milligrams binimetinib, 2 times daily.
Before taking binimetinib in combination with encorafenib, patients must have confirmation of BRAF V600E mutation assessed by a CE-marked in vitro diagnostic (IVD) medical device with the corresponding intended purpose.

Treatment should continue until the patient no longer derives benefit or the development of unacceptable toxicity.
If a dose of binimetinib is missed, it should not be taken if it is less than 6 hours until the next dose is due.
In case of vomiting after administration of binimetinib, the patient should not re-take the dose and should take the next scheduled dose.
