Targeted medicine for children with certain brain or solid tumors
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This Phase 2 study tests tovorafenib, a targeted cancer medicine, in children and young adults whose tumors have specific BRAF or RAF changes. It is for cancers that have come back or grown despite previous treatment, with measurable signs on scans.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a child or young adult with a relapsed or growing tumor (not improving).
- For low-grade glioma: your tumor must have a known activating BRAF change, and scans show it is progressing.
- For advanced solid tumors: your tumor must have a known or expected activating RAF fusion, and scans show it is progressing.
- A pathologist must have confirmed the cancer under a microscope (at original diagnosis or relapse).
- You must have already had at least one type of cancer treatment, and your scans must show radiographic progression.
- You must have at least one measurable tumor spot that can be followed on scans (measurable lesion).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial is testing a combination of two drugs, vinblastine and tovorafenib, for children and young adults (up to age 25) whose low-grade glioma has come back or worsened after prior treatment. It is for people whose tumor has a specific change in a gene called BRAF or CRAF.
This trial tests a combination of targeted therapy (dabrafenib and trametinib) and immunotherapy (nivolumab) for children and young adults with certain BRAF gene changes in their glioma. It aims to see if this drug combination can shrink tumors or stop them from growing.
This trial tests two targeted drugs (dabrafenib and trametinib) for children and young adults with a specific type of low-grade brain tumor that has a BRAF V600 mutation. The drugs work by blocking signals that help the tumor grow.
This trial tests a new targeted medicine (FCN-159) against standard chemotherapy for children with slow-growing brain or nervous system tumors that have a specific genetic change (BRAF alteration). The goal is to see if the new pill works better at shrinking or controlling the tumor.
This trial tests a targeted drug, binimetinib, for people with low-grade glioma (a type of brain tumor) or pancreatic cancer that has a specific genetic change called a BRAF fusion. The drug aims to block signals that help these tumors grow.
This trial studies tovorafenib to treat craniopharyngioma in children and young adults. It aims to shrink the tumor or slow its growth, and to learn which patients benefit most and what side effects to expect.
