Real-life efficacy and tolerance of trametinib in BRAF-rearranged low-grade gliomas: A multicenter study.

BACKGROUND MEK inhibition has demonstrated activity in pediatric low-grade gliomas (pLGGs) driven by BRAF rearrangements, but data on trametinib remain limited, regarding efficacy, short and long-term toxicities. METHODS We conducted a retrospective multicenter study of patients with BRAF-rearranged non NF1 pLGGs rec...

Efficacy and Safety of Alectinib in Pediatric and Adult Patients with ALK-Altered Advanced Solid Tumors: a phase II TACKLE Trial (NCCH1712/MK003).

PURPOSE Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) alterations occur in a range of rare malignancies; however, prospective evidence supporting alectinib beyond lung cancer remains limited. We evaluated the activity and safety of alectinib in patients with advanced ALK-altered solid tumors. PATIENTS AND METHODS In this open-lab...

Abstract PR011: Real-world efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors when used in a selected population of pediatric solid cancers – A retrospective multicenter study

Clinical trials evaluating immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in unselected childhood cancers have shown low response rates, excluding Hodgkin lymphoma. We sought to describe the real-world antitumor activity and toxicity of ICIs in children, adolescents, and young adults (CAYAs) with solid tumors selected based...

Selpercatinib in Pediatric and Adolescent Patients With RET-Altered Solid Tumors: Safety and Efficacy Results From the Phase I/II LIBRETTO-121 Study.

PURPOSE Selpercatinib, a highly selective oral RET inhibitor with CNS activity, has previously demonstrated durable responses and an acceptable safety profile in adults with RET-driven cancers. Consequently, the safety and efficacy of selpercatinib were investigated in pediatric/adolescent participants. METHODS LIBRE...
