Abstract Text | BRAF V600 mutations occur in many childhood cancers, including approximately 20% of low-grade gliomas (LGGs). Here, we describe a phase I/II study establishing pediatric dosing and pharmacokinetics of trametinib with or without dabrafenib, as well as efficacy and safety in a disease-specific cohort with BRAF V600-mutant LGG; other cohorts will be reported elsewhere.This is a four-part, phase I/II study (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02124772) in patients age < 18 years with relapsed/refractory malignancies: trametinib monotherapy dose finding (part A) and disease-specific expansion (part B), and dabrafenib + trametinib dose finding (part C) and disease-specific expansion (part D). The primary objective assessed in all patients in parts A and C was to determine pediatric dosing on the basis of steady-state pharmacokinetics. Disease-specific efficacy and safety (across parts A-D) were secondary objectives.Overall, 139 patients received trametinib (n = 91) or dabrafenib + trametinib (n = 48). Trametinib dose-limiting toxicities in > 1 patient (part A) included mucosal inflammation (n = 3) and hyponatremia (n = 2). There were no dose-limiting toxicities with combination therapy (part C). The recommended phase II dose of trametinib, with or without dabrafenib, was 0.032 mg/kg once daily for patients age < 6 years and 0.025 mg/kg once daily for patients age ≥ 6 years; dabrafenib dosing in the combination was as previously identified for monotherapy. In 49 patients with BRAF V600-mutant glioma (LGG, n = 47) across all four study parts, independently assessed objective response rates were 15% (95% CI, 1.9 to 45.4) for monotherapy (n = 13) and 25% (95% CI, 12.1 to 42.2) for combination (n = 36). Adverse event-related treatment discontinuations were more common with monotherapy (54% v 22%).The trial design provided efficient evaluation of pediatric dosing, safety, and efficacy of single-agent and combination targeted therapy. Age-based and weight-based dosing of trametinib with or without dabrafenib achieved target concentrations with manageable safety and demonstrated clinical efficacy and tolerability in BRAF V600-mutant LGG. |

BRAF V600X | low grade glioma | predicted - sensitive | Trametinib | Phase Ib/II | Actionable | In a Phase I/II trial, Mekinist (trametinib) treatment demonstrated a manageable safety profile in pediatric patients with BRAF V600-mutant low grade glioma, and resulted in an objective response rate of 15.4% (2/13, all partial responses), a clinical benefit rate of 61.5% (8/13), a median progression-free survival of 16.4 months, and median duration of response not reached (PMID: 36375115; NCT02124772). | 36375115 |
BRAF V600X | low grade glioma | predicted - sensitive | Dabrafenib + Trametinib | Phase Ib/II | Actionable | In a Phase I/II trial, Mekinist (trametinib) and Tafinlar (dabrafenib) combination treatment demonstrated a manageable safety profile in pediatric patients with BRAF V600-mutant low-grade glioma, and resulted in an objective response rate of 25% (9/36, all partial responses), a clinical benefit rate of 88.9% (32/36), a median duration of response of 33.6 months, and a median progression-free survival of 36.9 months (PMID: 36375115; NCT02124772). | 36375115 |
