4. Combined with trametinib for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) with BRAFV600E mutation-positive disease.
5. Combined with trametinib to treat BRAFV600E mutation-positive unresectable or metastatic solid tumors in patients 6 years of age and older (requires previous treatment failure and no satisfactory alternative).
6. Combined with trametinib to treat BRAFV600E mutation-positive low-grade glioma (LGG) that requires systemic treatment in patients 1 year old and above.

2. Liver insufficiency : No adjustment is required for mild to moderate, and no clear recommended dose for severe cases.
1. Risk of new malignant tumors : Regular skin examinations are required during treatment, and symptoms of non-cutaneous malignant tumors are monitored.
2. Risk of bleeding : Combination with trametinib may cause bleeding, so be alert to symptoms of intracranial or gastrointestinal bleeding.
3. Cardiotoxicity : Monitor left ventricular function before and during treatment.
4. Eye problems : See a doctor immediately if vision changes occur.
5. Fever reaction : It is common and may be serious and requires prompt symptomatic treatment.
1. Pregnant women : can cause fetal damage, effective contraception (non-hormonal) is required until 2 weeks after the last dose.
2. Lactation : Breastfeeding is prohibited within 2 weeks after stopping the drug.
3. Children : Suitable for patients with LGG ≥ 1 year old and solid tumors ≥ 6 years old. The dose needs to be adjusted according to body weight.
1. Common adverse reactions include: Fever, rash, headache, joint pain, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, etc.
2. Serious adverse reactions may involve:Cardiomyopathy, uveitis, severe skin toxicity, etc.
There are no clear contraindications, but it is contraindicated in patients with wild-type BRAF tumors.
1. Strong CYP3A4/CYP2C8 inhibitor (such as ketoconazole) may increase the plasma concentration of dabrafenib.
2. Dabrafenib can reduce the efficacy of CYP3A4/CYP2C9 substrates (such as warfarin), and INR needs to be monitored.
