Abstract

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare, heterogenous, neoplastic disorder primarily affecting children. BRAF mutations have been reported in >50% of patients with LCH. The selective BRAF inhibitor, dabrafenib, in combination with the MEK1/2 inhibitor, trametinib, has been approved in select BRAF V600–mutant solid tumors. Two open-label phase 1/2 studies were conducted in pediatric patients with BRAF V600–mutant, recurrent/refractory malignancies treated with dabrafenib monotherapy (CDRB436A2102; NCT01677741) or dabrafenib plus trametinib (CTMT212X2101; NCT02124772). The primary objectives of both studies were to determine safe and tolerable doses that achieve similar exposure to the approved doses for adults. Secondary objectives included safety, tolerability, and preliminary antitumor activity. Thirteen and 12 patients with BRAF V600–mutant LCH received dabrafenib monotherapy and in combination with trametinib, respectively. Investigator-assessed objective response rates per Histiocyte Society criteria were 76.9% (95% confidence interval [CI], 46.2-95.0) and 58.3% (95% CI, 27.7-84.8) in the monotherapy and combination studies, respectively. More than 90% of responses were ongoing at study completion. The most common treatment-related adverse events (AEs) were vomiting and increased blood creatinine with monotherapy and pyrexia, diarrhea, dry skin, decreased neutrophil count, and vomiting with combination therapy. Two patients each discontinued treatment with monotherapy and combination therapy because of AEs. Overall, dabrafenib monotherapy or in combination with trametinib demonstrated clinical efficacy and manageable toxicity in relapsed/refractory BRAF V600–mutant pediatric LCH, with most responses ongoing. Safety was consistent with that reported in other pediatric and adult conditions treated with dabrafenib plus trametinib.
