Juvenile Myelomonocytic Leukemia Treatment using Trametinib – Phase II

ADVL1521: Study of the MEK Inhibitor Trametinib in Children with Relapsed or Refractory Juvenile Myelomonocytic Leukemia

Protocol Description

This multi-center Children’s Oncology Group initiative, studies how well trametinib works in treating patients with juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) that has come back or does not respond to treatment. There is no standard treatment for this condition, however researchers believe trametinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Trametinib is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of adults with certain types of cancers.
