About this trial
The current study assesses the tolerability and efficacy of monotherapy with pan-RAF-kinase (Tovorafenib) inhibition for the treatment of children and young adults with craniopharyngioma.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Newly diagnosed craniopharyngioma, as based on imaging characteristics and central radiology review. Participants will initially be screened within confines of a screening consent and only those participants with findings consistent with craniopharyngioma and without findings suggesting an indeterminate lesion or lesion of an alternative diagnosis (including abnormal tumor markers found in blood or cerebral spinal fluid (CSF), if completed as part of standard of care (SOC) work-up or if lesion concerning for alternate diagnosis) will move ahead with enrollment on the treatment protocol. Additionally, for participants that have undergone initial biopsy to confirm diagnosis, are within 6 weeks of radiographic diagnosis, and are planned to undergo follow up second surgery for additional tumor resection as per standard of care recommendations, these participants will also be considered eligible.
Participants must be surgical candidates for biopsy or resection and planned for standard of care biopsy or resection.
Recurrent craniopharyngioma, as based on histologic confirmation at time of initial diagnosis (participants with Adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma (ACP) will only be eligible for the recurrent arm).
Recurrent craniopharyngioma without prior histologic confirmation will initially be screened within confines of a screening consent and only those participants with findings consistent with craniopharyngioma and without findings suggesting an indeterminate lesion or lesion of an alternative diagnosis (including abnormal tumor markers found in blood or CSF, if completed as part of SOC work-up or if lesion concerning for alternate diagnosis) will move ahead with enrollment on the treatment protocol.
Disqualifiers
Participants who have had chemotherapy or radiotherapy within 3 weeks (6 weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin C) prior to entering the study or those who have not recovered from acute adverse events due to agents administered more than 4 weeks earlier.
Participants must be at least 1 week since the completion of therapy with a biologic or small molecule agent. For any agent with known adverse events that can occur beyond 1 week after administration, the period prior to enrollment must be beyond the time during which adverse events are known to occur. Such participants should also be discussed with study chairs.
Participants should not have previously received any RAS-pathway, but have not received Tovorafenib will be eligible.
Rapidly progressive symptoms that require urgent surgery or radiation therapy, which would prevent central review and or preclude participation with tumor-directed medical management alone.
