Summary

This trial is testing a new pill called DAY101 in young patients with certain brain tumors or advanced cancers. The pill works by blocking proteins that help cancer cells grow. The goal is to see if this treatment can control the disease in patients who have specific genetic changes.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for young patients aged 6 months to 25 years with relapsed or progressive low-grade glioma (LGG) or advanced solid tumors that have a specific BRAF gene change. Participants must have at least one measurable tumor and, for certain arms of the study, must have tried at least one other treatment before joining.
What is being tested?
The FIREFLY-1 study is testing DAY101, an oral medication designed to inhibit a protein called pan-RAF which may be involved in tumor growth. The goal is to see if it's safe and effective in children and young adults with brain tumors or other solid tumors with BRAF alterations.
What are the potential side effects?
While not specified here, similar drugs targeting proteins like RAF can cause side effects such as rash, fatigue, joint pain, heart problems, and vision changes. Each patient's experience may vary.

Study Objectives

Study objectives can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary study objectives
Arm 1: Overall response rate (ORR) by independent radiology review committee (IRC) based on RANO criteria
Arm 2: Assess the safety and tolerability of DAY101
Arm 3: Overall response rate (ORR) by independent radiology review committee (IRC) based on RECIST v1.1 criteria
Secondary study objectives
Upper arm
Arm 3: Clinical benefit rate based on the proportion of patients with best overall response using RECIST v1.1 criteria
Arm 3: Duration of response (DOR) with best overall response of CR or PR using RECIST v1.1 criteria by 1) an IRC and 2) the treating Investigator
+11 more
Other study objectives
Arm 1: Compare the response and time to progression following initiation of DAY101 to that of the prior line of systemic therapy
Arm 3: Determine the durability of response following discontinuation of DAY101 for patients with a radiographic response to DAY101 (CR or PR as based on RECIST v1.1 criteria) as determined by 1) an IRC and 2) the treating Investigator
Arms 1 & 2: Characterize changes in apparent diffusion coefficients following treatment with DAY101 using diffusion-weighted imaging analysis
+5 more

Mechanism Of Action
Side Effect Profile
Prior Approvals
Other Research
Common treatments for Low Grade Glioma (LGG) include surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. Targeted therapies, such as pan-RAF inhibitors like DAY101, are designed to block the activity of RAF proteins, which are involved in cell division and survival pathways. By inhibiting these proteins, pan-RAF inhibitors can reduce tumor growth and proliferation. This is particularly important for LGG patients with RAF alterations, as these targeted treatments can offer a more personalized and potentially effective approach compared to traditional therapies. Understanding these mechanisms helps patients and doctors make informed decisions about treatment options that are tailored to the genetic profile of the tumor.
