This study examines the drug Trametinib in children and young patients with treatment-resistant brain tumors in which the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway is activated. It enrolled patients aged 1 month to 25 years with NF1 and low-grade glioma or plexiform neurofibroma, a KIAA1549-BRAF fusion, or activation of the MAPK/ERK pathway. The trial is in Phase 2 and is active but not currently recruiting.
The summary above is a plain-language rendering of the official record. The original English title is shown for reference.
Criteria are reproduced from the ClinicalTrials.gov record in the original English. Only the trial team can determine eligibility.
Inclusion Criteria:

2. Assent Assent from minor participants should be obtained per local laws and regulations and should be documented in accordance with local requirements.
3. Study activities compliance. Participants must be willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment schedule, laboratory testing, and other requirements of the study, including disease assessment by contrast-enhanced MRI.
4. Age Patient must be aged ≥ 1 month (corrected age) to ≤ 25 years when starting trametinib.
5. Study group Participants must belong to one of the following groups to be eligible. Group 1: NF1 with progressing/refractory LGG Group 2: NF1 with PN Group 3: Progressing/refractory LGG with KIAA 1549-BRAF fursion Group 4: Progressing/refractory glioma with activation of the MPAK/ERK pathway who do not meet criteria for other study groups
6. Tumor Tissue Sample Tumor tissue will be required for all patients (minimally paraffin-embedded tissue block and additionally fresh frozen tissue \[if available\]). Patients with NF1 and LGG or PN can still be enrolled without tissue if no surgery or biopsy was conducted.
7 Previous MRI At least two previous MRIS fro Group 1, 3, 4 and one previous MRI for Group 2 must be available for central review.
8\. Prior therapy Participants must have failed at least one line of treatment including chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy except for plexiform neurofibroma (since there is no recognized standard treatment for his tumor).
9\. Prior therapy toxicity Patients must have recovered to grade ≤ 1 from acute toxic effects of all prior chemotherapy, immunotherapy or radiotherapy prior to enrollment except for alopecia and non-treatment related clinically insignificant laboratory abnormalities. prior to starting trametinib. Toxicities will be graded as per the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 5.0
10\. Prior therapy timeline Participants having previously received a chemotherapy agent(s) and/or radiation must conform to the timeline described below. There is no limitation on the number of previous treatments or cycles received.
* An interval of at least 28 days after the last dose of a myelosuppressive chemotherapy, and at least 42 days after the last dose of Nitrosoureas is required prior to starting trametinib.
* An interval of at least 28 days after the last dose of any biologic agents including monoclonal antibody treatment, immunotherapy, viral therapy and other investigational agent is required prior to starting trametinib.
* An interval of at least 84 days after the end of the radiation therapy is required prior to starting trametinib.
* An interval of at least 48 hours for short-acting colony stimulating factor agents and 10 days interval for long-acting colony stimulating factor agents are required prior to starting trametinib.
11\. Life expectancy Patients must have a life expectancy of greater than 6 months.
12\. Performance level Patients must have a performance status corresponding to a Lansky/Karnofsky score ≥50.
13\. Organ Function Requirements
Participants must have normal organ and marrow function as defined below:
* Total leukocytes ≥ 3,000/µL
* Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1, 000/µL
* Hemoglobin \> 80 g/l (transfusion independent within last 2 weeks prior to starting trametinib)
* Platelet count ≥ 100,000/µL (transfusion independent within last 2 weeks prior to starting trametinib)
* Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times the ULN within normal institutional limits for age
* Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 2.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN)\*
* Creatinine serum within normal institutional limits for age OR creatinine clearance ≥60 mL/min/1.73 m2 for participants with creatinine levels above institutional normal.
* Creatine phosphokinase ≤ 2x ULN
* A cardiac function defined as Corrected QT (QTcB) interval \< 480 msec and LVEF ≥ lower limit of normal (LLN) by echocardiogram (ECHO).
* Blood pressure must be smaller or equal to the 95th percentile for patient's age, height and gender.
* For uniformity reasons, the ULN for ALT will be 45 U/L in this study
14\. Reproductive status Children of childbearing and child-fathering potential must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to starting trametinib and for the duration of study participation. Should a female become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately. Males and females treated or enrolled in this protocol must also agree to use adequate contraception prior to the study, for the duration of study participation, and 4 months after completion of trametinib administration. Furthermore, females of childbearing potential (older than 10 years old for this study) must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days prior to starting trametinib. A urine pregnancy test will be done according to evaluation calendar at at 30 days and at 6 months following the last does of study medications.
15\. Administration of oral medication Patients must be able to ingest and retain enterally (per os, nasogastric tube or gastrostomy) administered medication and be free of any clinically significant gastrointestinal abnormalities limiting the absorption of the medication. Tablets cannot be crushed. If the patient cannot swallow tablets, the liquid form should then be used.
SPECIFIC INCLUSION CRITERIA
Participants must belong to one of the following groups to be eligible.
* Group 1: NF1 with Progressing/Refractory LGG (42 patients).
* Group 2: NF1 with Progressing/Refractory PN (46 patients).
* Group 3: Progressing/Refractory LGG with KIAA1549-BRAF fusion (42 patients).
* Group 4: Progressing/Refractory CNS Glioma with activation of the MAPK/ERK pathway who do not meet criteria of other study groups (20 patients).
