Type II RAF Inhibitor
Pediatric Low-Grade Glioma (pLGG): The Most Common Type Of Brain Tumor In Children
PLGGs are chronic and relentless, with patients suffering profound tumor and
treatment-associated morbidity that can impact their life trajectory over the long term6
A Serious and Life-Threatening Disease | Disease Symptoms7 | |
- An estimated 26,000 children/young adults are living with BRAF-altered pLGGs in the U.S. today1,2
- Surgery plays a significant role in treatment, but 70% of patients require systemic therapy3,4
- For the majority of patients in the relapse setting, there is no standard of care and no approved therapies
- ~70% of pLGGs have BRAF alterations, of these ~85% are BRAF fusions and ~15% are BRAF V600E mutations5
- Majority of patients have many years of treatment until the tumors typically senesce by their mid-20s
Cerebral gliomas:
Seizures, muscle weakness, behavioral changes
Hypothalamic gliomas:
Endocrine dysfunction and visual deficits
Optic pathway gliomas:
Decreased vision (acuity and/or fields), bulging or misalignment of eyes
Cerebellar gliomas:
Impaired balance, coordination or depth perception
Brain stem gliomas:
Difficulty swallowing or with speech, abnormal breathing

Conventional Treatments Can Be Disruptive To Childhood and Can Have Significant Long-Term Consequences
Surgery
- Significant recovery times
- Risks of complications
- Resection may be limited by location of tumor
- Potential for functional deficits based on location of tumor and extent of resection
Chemotherapy
- Requirement for indwelling catheter and weekly infusions
- Risk of neutropenia, hypersensitivity reactions, nausea and vomiting and peripheral neuropathy
Radiation
- Risk of secondary malignancy
- Risk of malignant transformation
- Risk of vascular proliferation and stroke
- Neurocognitive impact, depending on location of tumor and radiation field

High unmet need for an effective therapy for the majority of pLGG relapsed or progressive patients
that is minimally disruptive to their lives.

- Tovorafenib (DAY101) is an investigational, oral, selective, CNS-penetrant, type II RAF inhibitor that was designed to inhibit both monomeric and dimeric RAF kinase
- Activity in tumors driven by both RAF fusions and BRAF V600E mutations
- Tablet and pediatric-friendly liquid suspension
- Once weekly dosing
- Currently approved type I BRAFi are indicated for use in patients with tumors bearing BRAF V600E mutations
- Type I BRAF inhibitors cause paradoxical MAPK activation in the setting of wild-type RAF, increasing the risk of tumor growth in BRAF fusion-driven

Because many pLGGs undergo senescence when patients reach their 20s, the goal of therapy is to maximize tumor
control while minimizing treatment-associatedtoxicities from surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. As a result, a large
number of pLGG patients will undergo multiple lines of systemic therapy over the course of their disease.
