Abstract

Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (LCH) is characterized by activating variants of the MAPK pathway. Inhibition of the MAPK pathway with trametinib (MEK inhibitor) has been shown to induce responses in LCH patients. Two adolescent males with LCH driven by BRAF p.N486_P490del have received trametinib for >1 year with no reactivation in one and partial response in another (including stable lung disease). A third male with neonatal LCH and MAP2K1 p.K57_G61del had a complete response to trametinib with no active disease after 22 months. All patients continue on trametinib monotherapy with tolerable skin and CPK toxicity.
