Dabrafenib + Trametinib
for Brain Tumors
This trial is studying the effects of two cancer medications, dabrafenib and trametinib, in children. These drugs work by stopping signals that make cancer cells grow. Dabrafenib and trametinib have shown benefits in various BRAF-mutant tumors, including melanoma, lung cancer, and thyroid cancer. The goal is to see how these treatments affect children over time.

Selumetinib + Vinblastine
for Low-Grade Glioma
This phase III trial investigates the best dose of vinblastine in combination with selumetinib and the benefit of adding vinblastine to selumetinib compared to selumetinib alone in treating children and young adults with low-grade glioma (a common type of brain cancer) that has come back after prior treatment (recurrent) or does not respond to therapy (progressive). Selumetinib is a drug that works by blocking a protein that lets tumor cells grow without stopping. Vinblastine blocks cell growth by stopping cell division and may kill cancer cells. Giving selumetinib in combination with vinblastine may work better than selumetinib alone in treating recurrent or progressive low-grade glioma.
