Summary

This study looks at whether tiny bits of tumor DNA found in blood and spinal fluid can help doctors monitor how well treatment is working in people with a specific type of brain tumor (BRAF-altered glioma). About 24 patients whose cancer has not responded to prior treatments will receive the drug plixorafenib alone or with retifanlimab. The main goal is to see if these DNA levels change with treatment and match what scans show.
