Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Pediatric patients aged between ≥ 2 years and \< 18 years; regardless of male or female.
- Histologically and/or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of low-grade glioma (pLGG diagnosis as Grade 1 or 2 according to the 2021 WHO classification of CNS).
- KIAA1549-BRAF fusion or BRAF V600E mutation-positive.
- Patients requiring systemic therapy as determined by the investigator, including patients having disease recurrence or progression, or residual disease of surgery, or unresectable.
- At least one intracranial measurable lesion that can be reproducibly measured in two dimensions on T2-FLAIR, with the minimum size of the bi-perpendicular diameter of ≥ 10 mm, and can be visible on two or more imaging slice.
- \. Karnofsky performance score or Lansky performance score ≥ 70. 7.Adequate organ function within 14 days before enrollment.
You may not qualify if:
- Patients who have previously received any of the following treatments:
- Patients who have received chemotherapy drugs or traditional Chinese medicines or herbals with definitive anti-tumor treatment within 4 weeks preceding the first dose of investigational drug;
- Patients who have received growth factors that promote platelet or leukocyte count or function within 14 days preceding the first dose of investigational drug;
- Patients who received radiotherapy, surgery or immunotherapy within 4 weeks preceding the first dose of investigational drug;
- Patients who have participated in other interventional clinical trials within 4 weeks before receiving the first dose of investigational drug;
- Patients who have received live vaccines within 4 weeks preceding the first dose of investigational drug, or patients who have received inactivated vaccines and mRNA vaccines within 14 days preceding the study treatment;
- Patients who have previously received any other MEK 1/2 inhibitors such as Selumetinib or BRAF inhibitors such as Dabrafenib.
- Patients with high-grade gliomas, as well as schwannoma, subependymal giant cell astrocytoma (tuberous sclerosis), and diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (even if the histological diagnosis is WHO Grade 1 or 2).
- Patients who require endotracheal intubation for assisted ventilation or tracheotomy should be excluded.
- Patients who have uncontrollable epilepsy as assessed by the investigator.
- Patients with dysphagia, active GI diseases, malabsorption syndrome, or other conditions that will interfere with the absorption of the investigational drug.
- Patients with clinically significant active bacterial, fungal or viral infections, including hepatitis B virus surface antigen positive and hepatitis B virus DNA exceeding 1000 IU/ml. Hepatitis B carriers are allowed to be enrolled. Patients with positive hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody test; those who have confirmed human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, and are unwilling to undergo HIV testing.
- Patients with history or current evidence of retinal vein obstruction (RVO), retinal pigment epithelial detachment (RPED), central retinal vein occlusion, glaucoma, and other significant abnormalities in ophthalmological examinations.
- Interstitial pneumonia, including clinically significant radiation pneumonitis.
- Grade 3 creatine phosphokinase increased (\>5 × ULN - 10 × ULN).
