Real-world experience with selumetinib in children with neurofibromatosis type 1: a multicentric retrospective study.
Purpose: Selumetinib is a MEK inhibitor indicated for pediatric patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and symptomatic inoperable plexiform neurofibromas (PNs).
Methods: This retrospective study collected data from 70 patients (aged 3 - 18 years) with NF1 and symptomatic inoperable PNs treated with selumetinib as part of compassionate use at 11 Italian centers between October 2018 and October 2024. Assessments included the clinical benefit rate (CBR) after 24 months and at the last observation. Major response (MR) was defined as a ≥ 50% reduction from baseline in tumor volume. Adverse events (AEs), patient-reported pain and quality of life (QoL), and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS), were also evaluated.
Results: Of 45/70 patients with available natural history data at C0, 33/45 (73.3%) had progressive disease (PD). Radiological evaluation at C6 in 17/33 patients showed 16 (94.1%) had stable disease (SD) or partial response (PR). 52/58 patients (91.5%) had SD or PR/MR at C12; final response at last radiological follow-up was PD (7.7%), SD (42.3%), PR (30.8%) and MR (19.2%). CBR was 83.3% (24/70) at C24 and 91.5% (43/47) at last radiological follow-up. Selumetinib significantly reduced pain perception and improved QoL and ECOG PS. The type of response at C6 seems to predict response at C12 and at last observation. Adverse events were generally mild (78% grade ≤ 2).
Conclusion: Our findings suggest that the response after 6 and 12 selumetinib cycles may predict long-term outcomes, providing clinicians with an early indicator for therapeutic decision-making.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Neuro-Oncology is a multi-disciplinary journal encompassing basic, applied, and clinical investigations in all research areas as they relate to cancer and the central nervous system. It provides a single forum for communication among neurologists, neurosurgeons, radiotherapists, medical oncologists, neuropathologists, neurodiagnosticians, and laboratory-based oncologists conducting relevant research. The Journal of Neuro-Oncology does not seek to isolate the field, but rather to focus the efforts of many disciplines in one publication through a format which pulls together these diverse interests. More than any other field of oncology, cancer of the central nervous system requires multi-disciplinary approaches. To alleviate having to scan dozens of journals of cell biology, pathology, laboratory and clinical endeavours, JNO is a periodical in which current, high-quality, relevant research in all aspects of neuro-oncology may be found.
