Tovorafenib for Treatment of Craniopharyngioma in Children and Young Adults
brief summary
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.
detailed description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To determine progression free survival and maintenance of quality of life at 12 months as based on physical function and compared to historical controls.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To identify proportion of participants with visual deficits at 1-year, 2-year, and 3-year follow-up.
II. To identify proportion of participants with neuroendocrine deficits at 1-year, 2-year, and 3-year follow-up.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess Quality of Life (QOL) and cognitive measures in children and young adults with newly diagnosed or recurrent craniopharyngioma.
II. To perform Immunohistochemistry (IHC)/Multiplexed ion beam imaging on pre-and post-treatment tumor tissue (as available), including at time of progression, to assess for patterns of protein density and spatial relationship in intact tumor tissue and elucidate changes in tumor tissue over the course of therapy and disease evolution.
III. To perform single-cell (scRNA) RNA sequencing on pre- and post-treatment tumor tissue (as available), including at time of progression, to identify and characterize distinct cell subsets that make up the components of craniopharyngioma and elucidate changes in cell subsets over the course of therapy and disease evolution.
IV. To perform proteomic analysis on pre- and post-treatment tumor tissue, including at time of progression, to characterize distinct proteins and transcriptome pathways that are active in different tumor compartments and elucidate changes in proteomic profiles over the course of therapy and disease evolution.
V. To perform ELISA array/multiplex analysis on pre- and post-treatment cyst fluid, including at time of progression, to characterize distinct cytokine profiles and elucidate changes in cytokine profile over the course of therapy and disease evolution.
VI. Microbiome and flow cytometry studies in the context of imaging and clinical outcomes using descriptive statistics.
VII. To assess patient and/or proxy satisfaction with study participation via patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures.
