LGG-46. TRAMETINIB THERAPY IN PEDIATRIC PATIENTS WITH LOW-GRADE GLIOMAS (LGG) WITH BRAF GENE FUSION; A DISEASE-SPECIFIC COHORT IN THE FIRST PEDIATRIC TESTING OF TRAMETINIB

ABSTRACT: Abstract

BACKGROUND

LGG is the most prevalent childhood brain tumor. BRAF fusions drive constitutive activation of BRAF and tumorigenesis. We report results of trametinib, a MEK1/2 inhibitor, in pediatric patients with LGG with BRAF fusion.

METHODS

This phase 1/2 trial (NCT02124772) enrolled pediatric patients (≤18 y) with refractory/recurrent tumors. We report results from interim analysis of pediatric patients with LGG harboring BRAF fusion. Trametinib was dosed at 4 dose levels in part A (0.0125, 0.025, 0.04, and 0.032 mg/kg/d) and at 0.025 mg/kg/day in the expansion cohort. Tumor assessments were performed every 8 weeks by MRI, including T2-FLAIR sequences, using RANO criteria.

RESULTS

Twenty-three patients were enrolled across cohorts. Median age of patients
