PNOC029 Trial Summary
This trial is testing a new combination therapy for the treatment of children and young adults with craniopharyngioma.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for children and young adults aged 1 to 39 with craniopharyngioma, who can undergo surgery. They should not have had certain treatments recently, must be able to provide tissue samples, and have good organ function. Pregnant or breastfeeding women are excluded, as well as those with immune disorders or severe cardiovascular issues.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety and effectiveness of combining Nivolumab (a PD-1 inhibitor) with DAY101 (a pan-RAF kinase inhibitor) in treating craniopharyngioma. It's designed for patients who may be newly diagnosed or have recurrent disease after prior treatments.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include immune-related reactions like inflammation in various organs, skin rashes such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome, vision problems like retinal vein occlusion, liver enzyme changes indicating liver damage, fatigue, digestive issues and possible increased risk of infections.

7Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Group 2, Arm D: Non-biopsy/resection participantsExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Non-biopsy/resection participants with recurrent disease will receive combination maintenance therapy of nivolumab given every 2 weeks and Tovorafenib once weekly at the respected RP2D for each agent.
Group II: Group 2, Arm C: Neoadjuvant combination nivolumab and TovorafenibExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants with recurrent craniopharyngioma will receive one (1) dose of nivolumab (14 days -5 days prior) and one (1) dose of Tovorafenib (7 days +/- 2 days) prior to planned biopsy or resection. At completion of biopsy or resection, participants having undergone biopsy only or STR or NTR will continue on combination maintenance therapy of nivolumab given every 2 weeks and Tovorafenib once weekly at the respected RP2D for each agent.
Group III: Group 2, Arm B: Neoadjuvant TovorafenibExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants with recurrent craniopharyngioma will receive one (1) dose of Tovorafenib within 7 days +/- 2 days prior to planned biopsy or resection. At completion of biopsy or resection, participants having undergone biopsy only or STR or NTR will continue on combination maintenance therapy of nivolumab given every 2 weeks and Tovorafenib once weekly at the respected RP2D for each agent.
Group IV: Group 2, Arm A: Neoadjuvant nivolumabExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants with recurrent craniopharyngioma will receive one (1) dose of nivolumab within 14 days - 5 days prior to planned biopsy or resection. At completion of biopsy or resection, participants having undergone biopsy only or STR or NTR will continue on combination maintenance therapy of nivolumab given every 2 weeks and Tovorafenib once weekly at the respected RP2D for each agent. If participants are eligible based on archival tissue alone, these participants will go directly on to receive combination therapy only.
Group V: Group 1, Arm C: Neoadjuvant combination nivolumab and TovorafenibExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants with newly diagnosed craniopharyngioma will receive one (1) dose of nivolumab (14 days -5 days prior) and one dose of Tovorafenib (7days +/- 2 days prior) to planned biopsy or resection. At completion of biopsy or resection, participants having undergone biopsy only or sub-total (STR) or near-total resection (NTR) will continue on combination maintenance therapy of nivolumab given every 2 weeks and Tovorafenib once weekly at the respected RP2D for each agent. Participants having undergone a gross total resection (GTR) will enter into follow-up only and will be part of the exploratory cohort.
Group VI: Group 1, Arm B: Neoadjuvant TovorafenibExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants with newly diagnosed craniopharyngioma will receive one (1) dose of Tovorafenib within 7 days +/- 2 days prior to planned biopsy or resection. At completion of biopsy or resection, participants having undergone biopsy only or sub-total (STR) or near-total resection (NTR) will continue on combination maintenance therapy of nivolumab given every 2 weeks and Tovorafenib once weekly at the respected RP2D for each agent . Participants having undergone a gross total resection (GTR) will enter into follow-up only and will be part of the exploratory cohort.
Group VII: Group 1, Arm A: Neoadjuvant nivolumabExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants with newly diagnosed craniopharyngioma will receive one (1) dose of nivolumab within 14 days - 5 days prior to planned biopsy or resection. At completion of biopsy or resection, participants having undergone biopsy only or sub-total (STR) or near-total resection (NTR) will continue on combination maintenance therapy of nivolumab given every 2 weeks and Tovorafenib once weekly at the respected recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) for each agent. Participants having undergone a gross total resection (GTR) will enter into follow-up only and will be part of the exploratory cohort.
