Can we stop these cancer drugs without the tumor coming back?

NCT ID NCT07110246

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at whether patients with a certain type of slow-growing brain tumor (low-grade glioma with a BRAF V600 mutation) can safely stop or reduce their dose of two targeted drugs, dabrafenib and trametinib, after 12-24 months of treatment. About 96 participants will either stop the drugs abruptly or slowly wean off over 6 months. The goal is to see if the tumor stays under control without the full dose.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

dabrafenib and trametinib

What this could lead to

If successful, this could help doctors find the best way to reduce or stop these drugs without causing the tumor to grow back quickly, improving quality of life for patients.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase trial with only 96 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. There is a risk that stopping or reducing the drugs could cause the tumor to regrow.
