It is also used in combination with the medicine cetuximab to treat colorectal cancer (cancer of the large bowel or rectum) with the BRAF V600E version of the mutation, when it has spread elsewhere in the body and has previously been treated with other medicines.

It contains the active substance encorafenib.
