New treatment option for Recurrent Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis
Official title A Study With Tovorafenib (DAY101) as a Treatment Option for Progressive, Relapsed, or Refractory Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05828069
What this study is testing
What is Tovorafenib?
Tovorafenib is an investigational medicine, given as an once-weekly infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for recurrent langerhans cell histiocytosis.
Also referred to as BIIB 024, BIIB-024.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- This phase II trial tests the safety, side effects, best dose and activity of tovorafenib (DAY101) in treating patients with Langerhans cell histiocytosis that is growing, spreading, or getting worse (progressive), has come back (relapsed) after previous treatment, or does not respond to therapy (refractory). Langerhans cell histiocytosis is a type of disease that occurs when the body makes too many immature Langerhans cells (a type of white blood cell).
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
- Time commitment: about 1 year
