    BRAF V600 mutations are common in a variety of childhood cancers, including about 20% of low-grade gliomas (LGGs).

    BRAF V600 mutations are associated with
    poor response to standard chemotherapy and risk of transformation into secondary high-grade gliomas in children with LGG.
    Molecular therapies targeting BRAF V600 mutations may provide a better clinical prognosis
    than current options.

     

     

    The study is a phase I/II clinical trial exploring the dose and pharmacokinetics of trametinib with or without dabrafenib in pediatric patients with malignancy, enrolling patients under 18 years of age with relapsed/refractory malignancy: Cohort A: trimetinib monotherapy dose exploration; Cohort B: disease-specific extended cohort; Cohort C: trametinib + dabrafenib dose exploration; Cohort D: disease-specific extended cohort
    .
    The main objective is to clarify the dose
    that is appropriate for pediatric patients.
    Secondary objectives are disease-specific efficacy and safety
    .

     


    Response to treatment in the trametinib monotherapy group (C) and combination group (D).

     

    Overall, a total of 139 patients were treated
    with trametinib (n=91) or dabrafenib + trametinib (n=48).
    The dose-limiting toxicities of trametinib that occurred in > patients were mucositis (n=3) and hyponatremia (n=2).

    Dose-limiting toxicity
    was not observed in patients treated with the combination regimen.
    The recommended phase II dose of trametinib, with or without dabrafenib, is 0.
    032 mg/kg/day (< 6 years of age) or 0.
    025 mg/kg/day (≥ 6 years of age); The dose of dabrafenib in the combination regimen is the dose
    previously used for monotherapy.

     


    Progression-free survival in patients with BRAF V600-mutant LGG in the trametinib monotherapy group (A) and combination group (B).

     

    In 49 patients with glioma with BRAF V600 mutation, the objective response rate of trametinib monotherapy was 15% and that of combination therapy was 25%.

    Treatment interruptions associated with adverse effects were more common in the monotherapy group (54 versus 22 percent).

     

    In conclusion, the study showed that trametinib ±dabrafenib based on age and weight achieved safe and controllable target concentrations in children with low-grade gliomas with BRAF V600 mutations, and had certain clinical efficacy and tolerability
