Summary

This trial tests dabrafenib and trametinib in children and teenagers with specific brain tumors that are hard to treat. The drugs work by blocking signals that make cancer cells grow. The goal is to see if this combination can help slow down or stop the tumors. Both drugs are already approved for treating certain types of cancers.

Trial Design

3Treatment groups

Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: LGG cohort: dabrafenib and trametinibExperimental Treatment2 Interventions

Participants in the LGG cohort randomized to receive dabrafenib (orally, twice daily and dosed based on weight and age) in combination with trametinib (orally, once daily in combination with the first daily dose of dabrafenib and was dosed based on weight)

Group II: HGG cohort: dabrafenib and trametinibExperimental Treatment2 Interventions

Participants in the HGG cohort received dabrafenib (orally, twice daily and dosed based on weight and age) and trametinib (orally, once daily in combination with the first daily dose of dabrafenib and dosed based on weight)

Group III: LGG cohort: carboplatin and vincristineActive Control2 Interventions

Participants in the LGG cohort randomized to receive active comparator chemotherapy (carboplatin and vincristine). Participants received one course of induction (10 weeks of chemotherapy with 2 weeks of rest), followed by 8 cycles of maintenance chemotherapy.
