Article Synopsis
  • - The ongoing phase II trial (NCT03363217) is investigating the effects of trametinib on pediatric low-grade gliomas (PLGG) and plexiform neurofibromas (PN), showing promising clinical responses and good tolerance in most patients.
  • - Neurocognitive assessments were conducted on 36 patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) before and after 72 weeks of trametinib treatment, revealing stable group performance but significant improvements in specific cognitive areas for some individuals.
  • - The findings suggest that trametinib may have a positive impact on cognitive functioning in NF1 patients, particularly enhancing processing speed, visuo-motor skills, and verbal abilities, highlighting the need for neuro
