The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of the investigational drugs BKM120 and MEK162 that can be given together in patients with advanced solid tumors with particular molecular profiles that make them candidates for these drugs. BKM120 works by blocking a protein called PI3 kinase. MEK162 inhibits a protein called MEK1/2. Both proteins can cause cancer cells to grow faster.
