Eligibility criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:

Histologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic or unresectable locally advanced, non-squamous, NSCLC.
Documented non-synonymous somatic mutation in NF1 in any tumor specimen or cell-free DNA assay by Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA)-approved laboratory.
Received at least one prior line of cancer therapy for the treatment of NSCLC; this should include at least one of the following: platinum (carboplatin or cisplatin) doublet chemotherapy (acceptable combinations include: paclitaxel, docetaxel, abraxane, pemetrexed, gemcitabine, vinorelbine, or etoposide), anti-PD1/PDL1 therapy (pembrolizumab, nivolumab, or atezolizumab), or appropriate targeted therapy in patients with activating EGFR (osimertinib, erlotinib, gefitinib, or afatinib), ALK (alectinib, crizotinib, ceritinib, brigatinib, or loralatinib), or ROS-1 (crizotininb or entrectinib) alterations; therapy may be given as monotherapy or in combination with other cancer therapy (e.g. bevacizumab, ipilumimab)
Patients with a known activating mutation in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) (Exon 19 deletion, G719A, S768I, V769L, T790M, L833F, L858R, L861Q), must have progressed or been intolerant to treatment with a first-line EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) (erlotinib, afatinib, or gefitinib). Patients whose tumors were found to have an EGFR T790M mutation must also have progressed or been intolerable to treatment with osimertinib.
Patients with a known Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-rearrangement must have progressed or been intolerant to treatment with at least one ALK TKI: crizotinib ceritinib, alectinib,brigatinib, or loralatinib
Patients with a known ROS-1-rearrangement must have progressed or been intolerant to treatment with crizotinib or entrectinib
Patients with PDL1 level of >= 50%, who do not have an ALK-rearrangement or EGFR-mutation, must have progressed or been intolerant to treatment with anti-PD1/PDL1 therapy (pembrolizumab, nivolumab, or atezolizumab)
Documented disease progression or intolerance to treatment either during or after treatment with most recent therapy.
Willingness to undergo research biopsy.
Measurable disease defined by RECIST 1.1 criteria.
Life expectancy of at least 3 months.
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 1.
Age ≥ 18 years.
Resolution of all acute toxic effects of prior chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy or surgical procedures to National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 4.03 grade 1.

Adequate baseline organ function defined as follows:

Hematologic:

Absolute neutrophil count: ≥ 1.2 x 10^9/L
Hemoglobin: ≥ 9 g/dL
Platelets: ≥ 100 x 10^9/L
PT/INR and PTT: ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN)

Hepatic:

Albumin: ≥ 2.5 g/dL
Total bilirubin: ≤ 1.5 x ULN
AST and ALT: ≤ 2.5 x ULN

Renal:

Creatine: ≤ 1.5 ULN or
Calculated creatinine clearance (calculated by the Cockcroft-Gault formula): ≥ 50 mL/min

Cardiac:

- Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF): ≥ lower limit of normal (LLN) by echocardiogram (ECHO) or multiple-gated acquisition (MUGA)

Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 3 days prior to study enrollment. The effects of trametinib on the developing human fetus are unknown. For this reason and because animal studies with trametinib have shown reproductive toxicity, women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use effective methods of contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control) prior to study entry, for the duration of study participation, and for 4 months following discontinuation of trametinib. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately. Men treated or enrolled on this protocol must also agree to use adequate contraception prior to the study, for the duration of study participation, and 4 months after completion of study drug administration.
Able to swallow and retain orally administered medication and does not have any clinically significant gastrointestinal abnormalities that may alter absorption such as malabsorption syndrome or major resection of the stomach or bowels.
All prior treatment- related toxicities must be CTCAE (Version 4.03) ≤ Grade 1 (except alopecia) at the time of randomization
Ability to understand a written informed consent document, and the willingness to sign it.

Exclusion Criteria:

Known mutation in KRAS at position G12, G13, or Q61.
Symptomatic or untreated leptomeningeal or brain metastases or spinal cord compression. Treated brain metastases are allowed as long as they are stable for at least 28 days post-treatment.
Pregnant women are excluded from this study; breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with trametinib . Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with trametinib, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with trametinib.
History of another malignancy. Exception: Subjects who have been disease-free for 3 years, or subjects with a history of completely resected non-melanoma skin cancer and/or subjects with indolent second malignancies are eligible.
Any serious and/or unstable pre-existing medical disorder (aside from malignancy exception above), psychiatric disorder, or other conditions that could interfere with subject's safety, obtaining informed consent or compliance to the study procedures.
The subject has received cytotoxic chemotherapy, molecular targeted therapy, or immunotherapy within 21 days before the first dose of study drug (trametinib).
Prior treatment with MEK inhibitor.
History of interstitial lung disease or pneumonitis.
Have a known immediate or delayed hypersensitivity reaction or idiosyncrasy to drugs chemically related to study drug, or excipients or to dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO).
Any major surgery, extensive radiotherapy, chemotherapy with delayed toxicity, biologic therapy, or immunotherapy within 21 days prior to study enrollment and/or daily or weekly chemotherapy without the potential for delayed toxicity within 14 days prior to study enrollment.
History of retinal vein occlusion (RVO).
Known Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), or Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection (subjects with laboratory evidence of cleared HBV and HCV infection will be permitted).
