Phase 1/2 Study of Mirdametinib + Vinblastine for Newly Diagnosed/Previously Untreated PLGG + Activation of MAPK
- Registration Number
- NCT06666348
- Lead Sponsor
- C17 Council
- Brief Summary
This is a 3-part open-label study (feasibility phase, treatment phase and follow-up phase) of orally administered mirdametinib in combination with intravenous vinblastine chemotherapy in patients with PLGG with activation of MAPK pathway.
Feasibility Phase:
The maximum tolerated/recommended phase 2 dose (MTD/RP2D) of the mirdametinib plus vinblastine combination will be assessed using a modified Rolling-6 design.
Treatment Phase:
Patients will receive mirdametinib twice daily (continuously) at a fixed dose (2mg/m2 po BID up to 4 mg BID) for a total of 13 cycles (28 days cycle). Weekly intravenous vinblastine at MTD will be given for a total of 17 cycles. If adverse events occur, two dose reductions are allowed.
Follow-up Phase:
Following the end of treatment, patients will be scheduled for a follow-up visit every 6 months for 36 months to evaluate PFS, TTP and OS.
- Detailed Description
This is a phase 1/2, open label, interventional clinical trial that will study the response rate of newly diagnosed pediatric low-grade glioma (PLGG) to oral administration of mirdametinib in combination with weekly vinblastine. Patients meeting all inclusion criteria for a given study group will receive mirdametinib twice daily (continuous) at a fixed dose (2 mg/m2 po BID up to 4 mg BID) for a total of 13 cycles (28 days cycle). Weekly intravenous vinblastine at MTD will be given for a total of 17 cycles.
The lead-in feasibility phase will be conducted to establish the maximum tolerated/recommended phase 2 dose (MTD/RP2D) of vinblastine in combination with mirdametinib combination using a modified Rolling-6 design. The established RP2D for mirdametinib (2 mg/m2 po BID up to 4 mg BID) will be used on this study. Mirdametinib will be administered on a continuous dosing schedule and de-escalated as necessary to an intermittent (3 weeks on, 1 week off) dosing schedule. Vinblastine will be escalated (or de-escalated) as necessary. Since these classes of agents do not have overlapping toxicities, the starting dose (i.e., Dose Level 0) for vinblastine is 4 mg/m2/week, which is 20% lower than the recommended single agent dose of vinblastine of 5 mg/m2/week. Dose Level 1 for vinblastine is 5 mg/m2/week and Dose Level -1 for vinblastine is 3 mg/m2/week.
Following the end of treatment, patients will be scheduled for a follow-up visit every 6 months for 36 months to evaluate PFS, TTP and OS. A total of 50 patients will be recruited as part of this clinical study.
Patients aged between 2 and 25 years old will be eligible, in order to include a maximum of patients affected by glioma. This study includes PLGG patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) with a KIAA1549-BRAF fusion and patients with activation of the MAPK pathway with the exception of patients with a BRAFV600E mutation.
Response to treatment will be evaluated using the modified Response Assessment in Pediatric Neuro-Oncology (RAPNO), Response Assessment in Pediatric Neuro-Oncology (RANO) 1. Evaluation of quality of life will be measured using the Pediatric Quality of Life inventory (PedsQL) (Generic/Brain tumor modules).
This study will explore the genetic and epigenetic landscape of PLGG. Our biological study may include SNP array, nanoString studies, methylation array and RNAseq.

Group Intervention Description Mirdametinib + IV Vinblastine Mirdametinib Patients will receive oral mirdametinib twice daily (continuous) at a fixed dose (2mg/m2 PO BID, rounded to the nearest 1mg (capsules) or nearest 0.5 mg (dispersible tablets), up to a maximum of 4 mg BID) for a total of 13 cycles. Each cycle will last 28 days.
