LGG-16. PREDICTORS OF OUTCOME IN BRAF-V600E PEDIATRIC GLIOMAS TREATED WITH BRAF INHIBITORS: A REPORT FROM THE PLGG TASKFORCE
The BRAF-V600E mutation is found in 15–20% of pediatric low grade gliomas (PLGG) and result in worse outcome and higher risk of transformation to high grade gliomas (PHGG). Although ongoing trials are assessing the role of BRAF inhibitors (BRAFi) in these children, data are still limited. We aimed to report overall response rates and predictors of outcome in childhood BRAF-V600E gliomas. We collected clinical, imaging and molecular information of patients treated with BRAFi outside trials from centers participating in the PLGG taskforce. Response was calculated by RANO criteria and follow up data were collected for all patients. Sixty-six patients were treated with BRAFi (55 PLGG and 11 PHG…
