Dabrafenib, alone or in combination with trametinib, in BRAF V600-mutated pediatric Langerhans cell histiocytosis.

ABSTRACT: Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare, heterogenous, neoplastic disorder primarily affecting children. BRAF mutations have been reported in >50% of patients with LCH. The selective BRAF inhibitor, dabrafenib, in combination with the MEK1/2 inhibitor, trametinib, has been approved in select BRAF V600-mutant solid tumors. Two open-label phase 1/2 studies were conducted in pediatric patients with BRAF V600-mutant, recurrent/refractory malignancies treated with dabrafenib monotherapy (CDRB436A2102; NCT01677741) or dabrafenib plus trametinib (CTMT212X2101; NCT02124772). The primary objectives of both studies were to determine safe and tolerable doses that achieve similar exposure to the approved doses for adults. Secondary objectives included safety, tolerability, and preliminary antitu
