About this trial

This is a Pilot, multicenter, open-label study of patients less than or equal to 25 years, with recurrent or progressive LGG harboring a CRAF or BRAF alteration, including BRAF V600 mutations and KIAA1549: BRAF fusions. Patients with BRAF or CRAF alterations will be identified through molecular assays as routinely performed at Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) of 1988 or other similarly certified laboratories.

The study will be conducted in two sequential phases:

Phase A: A Feasibility (combination dose finding) phase, followed by Phase B: An Efficacy phase. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) of the combination as determined in Phase A would be the dose used in Phase B. The patients on Phase A who were below the MTD/RP2D would be eligible for intra-patient dose escalation to MTD/RP2D subject to criteria outlined later

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age

Study Group

Diagnosis

All patients must have pathological confirmation of low-grade glioma with BRAF or CRAF alteration.

Disqualifiers

Patient's tumor has additional previously known activating molecular alterations, other than BRAF or CRAF.

Known or suspected diagnosis of neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF-1) via genetic testing or current diagnostic clinical criteria.

History of any major disease, other than the diagnosis of LGG, that might interfere with safe protocol participation.

Patient with a history or current evidence of central serous retinopathy (CSR), retinal vein occlusion (RVO), or ophthalmopathy present at baseline who would be considered a risk factor for CSR or RVO. Ophthalmological findings secondary to long-standing optic pathway glioma (such as visual loss, optic nerve pallor, or strabismus) will NOT be considered a significant abnormality for the purposes of this study.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Tovorafenib

    Drug

    Tovorafenib for oral dosing is provided as an immediate-release tablet in 100 mg strength. The 100 mg tablets are red to yellowish red oval tablets. All products are labeled tovorafenib. In addition, tovorafenib is provided as a powder for reconstitution (PfR) in bottles (430mg per bottle to deliver 300 mg dose). Upon reconstitution with water, the concentration is 25 mg/mL. Vinblastine is administered by intravenous route as IV push, sites to follow local administration guidelines, once weekly (central line, but peripheral line is also permitted)

  • Vinblastine

    Drug

    vinblastine in combination with tovorafenib

Time frame
2 years
2

Safety and Tolerability

To assess safety and tolerability of combination of vinblastine and tovorafenib in pediatric patients with recurrent/progressive LGG through documentation of number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v5.0

Time frame
2 years
3

Overall response rate

To determine overall response rate (ORR) of CR, PR and MR in patients with LGG treated with combination of vinblastine + tovorafenib by RANO-LGG criteria.

Time frame

Pharmacokinetics (AUC of vinblastine and tovorafenib)

To characterize pharmacokinetics of tovorafenib and vinblastine in combination in the study population. The following PK parameters will be determined for each agent: Cmax, Tmax, AUC and reported using descriptive summary statistics

Time frame
5 years (to complete analyses)
3
