Abstract Text

Activating variants of the MAPK pathway have been found in some Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) lesions. Inhibition of the MAPK pathway with trametinib (MEK inhibitor) has been shown to induce responses in LCH patients. Two adolescent males with LCH driven by BRAF p.N486_P490del have received trametinib for >1 year with no reactivation in one and partial response in another (including stable lung disease). A third male with neonatal LCH and MAP2K1p.K57_G61del had a complete response to trametinib with no active disease after 22 months. All patients continue on trametinib monotherapy with tolerable skin and creatine phosphokinase toxicity.

Filtering

Case insensitive filtering will display rows if any text in any cell matches the filter term
Use simple literal full or partial string matches
Separate multiple filter terms with a space. Any order may be used (i. e. a b c and c b a are equivalent )
Filtering will only apply to rows that are already loaded on the page. Filtering has no impact on query parameters.
Use quotes to match on a longer phrase with spaces (i.e. "mtor c1483f")

Sorting

Generally, the default sort order for tables is set to be first column ascending; however, specific tables may set a different default sort order.
Click on any column header arrows to sort by that column
Hold down the Shift key and click multiple columns to sort by more than one column. Be sure to set ascending or descending order for a given column before moving on to the next column.
