Inclusion Criteria:

1. Subjects who are able to understand and voluntarily sign informed consent forms (ICFs).
2. Male and female subjects at the age of ≥18 and ≤80 at the time of screening.
3. Patients with histologically or cytologically-confirmed, locally advanced, or metastatic solid tumors with (a) failure of prior standard therapy, (b) no standard therapy available, or (c) for whom standard therapy is not applicable considered by the patient or treating physician. There is no limit to the number of prior treatment lines. Subjects who were previously treated with BRAF and/or MEK inhibitors are allowed to be enrolled in this study.
4. Documentation of positive BRAF V600 mutation is required for enrollment (the blood BRAF V600 test report is received at the dose-escalation stage). Representative tumor specimens suitable for confirmation of BRAF V600 mutations by retrospective analysis are required (for dose-expansion stage only). It is recommended to provide sufficient fresh/archived tumor tissue samples (formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumor specimens [preferred]) or 5-10 available unstained sections of good quality for verification of BRAF V600 mutation status at the central laboratory. For any subject who is unable to provide suitable and adequate tumor specimens, re-biopsy (with controllable safety) can be performed in a non-mandatory manner if it is feasible as assessed by the investigator and the subject gives informed consent; if re-biopsy is impossible or refused by the subject, his/her eligibility for enrollment shall be confirmed by both the investigator and the sponsor.

Patients with BMs/primary intracranial solid tumors that are asymptomatic, or that are symptomatic but on a stable or decreasing dose of steroids for at least 2 weeks are eligible for enrollment. The specific criteria are as follows:

2. Subjects who have active, mild neurological signs and symptoms currently requiring no therapy with steroids, and have no history of epileptic seizure within 2 weeks prior to initiation of treatment;
3. Subjects who have active, neurological signs and symptoms and were on a stable or gradually reducing dose up to 4 mg of dexamethasone (or equivalent) per day within 2 weeks prior to initiation of treatment;
