Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

1. The presence of mutations in the BRAF gene in tumor tissues and/or in ctDNA at any stage of treatment or follow-up.

2. Failure of the treatment (at least one of below needs to apply in order for this requirement to be satisfied):

• Progression on the I and II line treatment, and involving of a minimum one risk organ; previous treatment should include a minimum of 6 weeks of weekly Vinblastine with a minimum of 28 days prednisolone or minimum 2 cycles of Cytosine Arabinoside in 4-day cycles and/or Cladribine in 5-day cycles as a treatment of 2 line, or

• Disease reactivation after an initial response to treatment with Vimblastine and prednisolone as the first line and no response to treatment of the second line using a minimum of 2 cycles of one of two drugs: Cytosine Arabinoside in 4-day cycles and/or Cladribine in 5-day cycles as a treatment of 2 line and the involving of a minimum one risk organ, or

• Third or subsequent reactivation of disease with or without risk organ involvement, or

• Reactivation of disease after Vemurafenib therapy has been completed, or

• The appearance of signs of neurodegenerative disorder (ND) in MRI of the CNS.

3. Signing of informed consent for trial participation (including for Vemurafenib treatment) according with current legal regulations.

4. Consent to the use of effective contraception throughout the Vemurafenib administration period and a minimum of 1 year after discontinuation in patients at puberty and sexual maturity.

5. Participation in HISTIOGEN trial.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Lack of inclusion criteria.

2. Pregnancy and breastfeeding .

3. Hypersensitivity to the study drug or any of its ingredients.

4. Iritis, uveitis, obstruction of the retinal veins.

5. Simultaneous treatment with other drugs which might interact with Vemurafenib.

6. Persistent toxicity related to prior therapy, making it impossible to treat with Vemurafenib.

7. Diagnosis of other malignancies before study inclusion.

8. Other acute or persistent disorders, behaviors or abnormal laboratory test results, which might increase the risk related to the participation in this clinical trial or to taking the study drug, or which might influence the interpretation of the study results, or which, in the investigator's opinion, disqualify a patient from participating in the trial.
