Abstract

PURPOSE: The 2-part, phase 1/2a, open-label study (NCT01677741) sought to determine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary activity of dabrafenib in pediatric patients with advanced BRAF V600-mutated cancers. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: This phase 1 dose-finding part treated patients aged 1 to <18 years with BRAF V600 mutation-positive tumors with oral dabrafenib 3-5.25 mg/kg/day to determine the RP2D based on safety and drug exposure target. RESULTS: Between May 2013 and November 2014, 27 patients (12 male; median age, 9 years [range, 1-17 years]) with BRAF V600-mutant solid tumors recurrent/refractory to treatment (low- or high-grade glioma, Langerhans cell histiocytosis, neuroblastoma, or thyroid cancer) were enrolled. The median treatment duration was 75.6 weeks (range, 5.6-148.7 weeks), with 63% treated for > 52 weeks and 52% undergoing treatment at data cutoff date. The most common grade 3/4 adverse events suspected to be related to study drug were maculopapular rash and arthralgia (2 patients each). No dose-limiting toxicities were observed. Pharmacokinetic analyses showed a dose-dependent increase in AUC0-12 and achievement of adult exposure levels at the recommended phase 2 doses of 5.25 mg/kg/day (age <12 years) and 4.5 mg/kg/day (age ≥12 years) divided into 2 equal doses daily, not exceeding 300 mg daily. CONCLUSIONS: In this first clinical trial in pediatric patients with pretreated BRAF V600-mutant tumors, dabrafenib was well tolerated while achieving target exposure levels; the average treatment duration was >1 year with many patients still on treatment. The phase 2 component is also closed and will be reported separately.
