Trial Identification

Brief Title: Treatment of BRAF ( B-Rapidly Accelerated Fibrosarcoma) Mutated Papillary Craniopharyngioma

Official Title: Neoadjuvant and Postoperative Treatment With Dabrafenib and Trametinib in BRAF Mutated Papillary Craniopharyngioma

Study ID: NCT05525273

Study Description

Brief Summary: Subjects with papillary craniopharyngioma harboring a BRAF mutation will be treated with a BRAF + MEK inhibitor (dabrafenib + trametinib) after informed consent. Study participants will be administered oral dabrafenib and trametinib until maximal tumor volume reduction assessed by MRI. Progression free survival, cognition, ophthalmologic status, hypothalamic status and quality of life will be assessed 1 year after initiation of study treatment

Detailed Description: Background. Papillary craniopharyngioma harbours a BRAF mutation in 90% of cases. Treatment with BRAF + MEK (mitogen activated protein kinase ) inhibitors (dabrafenib + trametinib) may prevent patients from undergoing surgery with a high risk of serious side effects, or provide an additional treatment option when further surgery is not advised. Study intervention Subjects with newly diagnosed craniopharyngioma where radical surgery is not considered adequate or patients with recurrence of craniopharyngioma where further surgery is not considered possible without serious sequelae will be asked for informed consent Study participants are treated continuously with dabrafenib and trametinib orally, until maximal tumor shrinkage. Evaluation is done by MRI to measure tumor volume, as well as assessment of performance status, quality of life, cognition, ophthalmologic status, performance status and hypothalamic status. Study type The study is a Phase II, single armed, open label and multicenter study Study drugs are Dabrafenib (Tafinlar) and trametinib (Mekinist) Primary outcome To evaluate tumor response in the form of reduced tumor volume on MRI in patients with papillary craniopharyngioma during treatment with dabrafenib and trametinib. Secondary outcomes To evaluate dabrafenib and trametinib treatment for the following aspects: * response according to RECIST Duration of response for patients treated without subsequent surgery * how many patients become operable after neoadjuvant treatment * progression-free survival after 1 and 2 years * quality of life during and after treatment The effect of treatment on vision, cognition and hypothalamic effects Exploratory outcomes Levels of circulating BRAF Trial population 25 patients Trial duration Participants are treated with the study treatment for at least one year if the treatment is well tolerated, to maximum tumor reduction, or longer according to the investigators´s assessment. Treatment is discontinued in case of progression, unacceptable toxicity or at the request of the patient.
