TL;DR

Despite few manageable side effects, the favorable outcomes on tumor response and quality of life of trametinib-based therapy in Lebanese pediatric LGG patients suggest that MEK inhibitors may be a feasible option in selected LMIC settings, when appropriate diagnostic and monitoring infrastructure is available.

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...

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

The use of comprehensive molecular profiling to identify patients most likely to benefit from immunotherapy and warrant validation in prospective clinical trials is supported, and encouraging clinical activity in selected CAYAs with solid tumors when guided by tumor-specific biomarkers is demonstrated.

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...
