• Evidence of active bleeding or bleeding diathesis.
• Known endobronchial lesions and/or lesions infiltrating major pulmonary vessels that increase the risk of pulmonary hemorrhage.
• Recent hemoptysis (≥ 1/2 teaspoon of red blood within 8 weeks before first dose of study drug)

• Ipilimumab must have been discontinued at least 8 weeks prior to initiation of treatment with trametinib
• Administration of any non-oncologic investigational drug within 30 days or five half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to the first dose of study drug.
• Any ongoing toxicity from prior anti-cancer therapy that is ≥ Grade 1 and/or that is progressing in severity, except alopecia.
