Interventions

  • Dabrafenib — DRUG
    Dabrafenib is available as 50 mg or 75 mg capsules and as oral suspension (10 mg/mL for subjects unable to swallow capsules). Dabrafenib (either formulation) will be administered orally as a single dose on Day 1 and twice daily from Day 2, based on weight at the appropriate study dose level.

Study Details

This was a 2-part, Phase I/IIa, multi-center, open label, study in pediatric and adolescent patients with advanced BRAF V600 mutation-positive solid tumors. Part 1 was a dose escalation study in patients with any BRAF V600 mutation-positive solid tumor using a modified Rolling 6 Design (RSD). Part 2 was an expansion study to further evaluate the safety, tolerability, and clinical activity of dabrafenib in 4 tumor-specific pediatric populations. Patients participated in only either part 1 or part 2 of the study.

Arms

  • Experimental: Part 1: Dabrafenib treatment
    Three subjects will receive a single dose of 3 mg/kg dabrafenib on Day 1 and repeat dose will begin from Day 2, evenly divided in two daily doses. Once all 3 subjects have been fully evaluated for the first 28 days (including Day 15 PK) and no DLTs are observed, a next subject will be enrolled at the next higher dose levels (i.e., dose escalation to 3.75 mg/kg \[+1\] and may be further to 4.5 mg/kg \[+2\] and so on). If all 3 subjects have not been fully evaluated for the first 28 days or 1 DLT occurred, the fourth subject will be enrolled at the same dose level. If 2 or more DLTs are observed, the next subject will be enrolled at the next lower dose level (i.e., de-escalated to 2.25 mg/kg \[-1\] and may be further to 1.5 mg/kg \[-2\]). Similarly, the process is repeated for the fifth and sixth subjects in a cohort. All subjects will receive treatment till end of study.
  • Experimental: Part 2: Cohort 1 Low-Grade Gliomas with BRAF V600 mutations
    Subjects with low-grade gliomas with BRAF V600 mutations will receive the single selected final dose (based on MTD and the age of the subjects) from Part 1 on Day 1. Repeat dosing will begin from Day 2, twice daily till end of study.
  • Experimental: Part 2: Cohort 2 High-Grade Gliomas with BRAF V600 mutations
    Subjects with high-grade gliomas with BRAF V600 mutations will receive the single selected final dose (based on MTD and the age of the subjects) from Part 1 on Day 1. Repeat dosing will begin from Day 2, twice daily till end of study.
  • Experimental: Part 2: Cohort 3 LCH with BRAF V600 mutations
    Subjects with LCH with BRAF V600 mutations will receive the single selected final dose (based on MTD and the age of the subjects) from Part 1 on Day 1. Repeat dosing will begin from Day 2, twice daily till end of study.
  • Experimental: Part 2: Cohort 4 Melanoma and PTC with BRAF V600 mutations
    Subjects with other tumors with BRAF V600 mutations will receive the single selected final dose (based on MTD and the age of the subjects) from Part 1 on Day 1. Repeat dosing will begin from Day 2, twice daily till end of study.

Primary Outcome Measure

Incidence of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) in Part 1 (Dose Escalation) [ Time Frame: From study treatment start date till 28 days safety follow-up, assessed up to approximately 90 months ]
