Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Objective response rate (ORR) of tovorafenib monotherapy versus SoC chemotherapy
Up to 60 months

ORR assessed per Response Assessment in Pediatric Neuro Oncology (RAPNO) criteria by Independent Review Committee (IRC), and defined as the proportion of participants with overall confirmed response of complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or minor response (MR).

Progression free survival rate (PFS)
Up to 12 months

Progression-free survival is defined as the time of documented response until disease progression as defined by Response assessment in neuro-oncology criteria (RANO) criteria. PFS will be reported by overall group at 12 months.

Changes in scores on the Physical functioning subscale of the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) over time
Up to 12 months

Scores over time from the PedsQL 4.0 Generic Core physical function domain rating form, which have multidimensional child self-report and parent proxy report scales to assess health-related quality of life (QOL) in children, adolescents, and young adults ages 2 - 25 years will be reported. Physical functioning, is the sub-scale of interest for this protocol. Items on the physical functioning sub-scale are scored on a 5-point Likert scale with raw scores ranging from 0- 4. Items are reversed scored and linearly transformed to a 0-100 scale. If more than 50% of the items in the scale are missing, the Scale Scores should not be computed. Higher scores indicate a higher level of physical functioning

Arm 1: Overall response rate
Up to 48 months

ORR is defined as percentage of participants with best overall confirmed response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) by the Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology - high-grade glioma (RANO-HGG) criteria.

Arm 2: Number of participants reporting adverse events
Up to 48 months

An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention.

Arm 2: Number of participants with clinically significant changes in clinical chemistry parameters
Up to 48 months
Arm 2: Number of participants with clinically significant changes in hematology parameters
Up to 48 months
Arm 3: Overall response rate
Up to 48 months

Determined by the treating investigator and measured by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 or RANO-HGG criteria, as appropriate.

Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT)
Greater and equal 28 days

A DLT is defined as an AE assessed as at least possibly related to the study medication, which occurs during Cycle 1 (typically 28 days following the first dose of DAY101)

Up to 60 months
Event-free survival (EFS) of tovorafenib monotherapy versus SoC chemotherapy

Group 1: Neoadjuvant TovorafenibEXPERIMENTALParticipants with newly diagnosed craniopharyngioma will receive one (1) dose of Tovorafenib within 7 days +/- 2 days prior to planned biopsy or resection. At completion of biopsy or resection, participants having undergone biopsy only or sub-total (STR) or near-total resection (NTR) will continue on maintenance monotherapy of Tovorafenib given once weekly at the respected recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D). Participants having undergone a gross total resection (GTR) will enter into follow-up only and will be part of the exploratory cohort.
Group 2, Arm A: Neoadjuvant TovorafenibEXPERIMENTALParticipants with recurrent craniopharyngioma will receive one (1) dose of Tovorafenib within 7 days +/- 2 days prior to planned biopsy or resection. At completion of biopsy or resection, participants having undergone biopsy only or STR or NTR will continue on maintenance monotherapy of Tovorafenib given once weekly at the respected RP2D.
Group 2, Arm B: Non-biopsy/resection participantsEXPERIMENTALNon-biopsy/resection participants with recurrent disease will receive monotherapy of Tovorafenib given once weekly at the respected RP2D.
Arm 1: Low-Grade GliomaEXPERIMENTALParticipants with recurrent or progressive low-grade glioma will receive 420 milligrams/meters square (mg/m\^2) of tovorafenib weekly according to dose rounding guidelines and according to their baseline body surface area (BSA).
Arm 2: Low-Grade Glioma Expanded AccessEXPERIMENTALParticipants with recurrent or progressive low-grade glioma will receive 420 mg/m\^2 of tovorafenib weekly according to dose rounding guidelines and according to their baseline BSA.
Arm 3: Advanced Solid TumorEXPERIMENTALParticipants with advanced solid tumors will receive 420 mg/m\^2) of tovorafenib weekly according to dose rounding guidelines and according to their baseline BSA.

Frequently asked questions about Tovorafenib

What is tovorafenib?

Tovorafenib is an investigational small molecule RAF inhibitor being developed by Day One Biopharmaceuticals for pediatric brain tumors. It is in clinical development for low-grade glioma and craniopharyngioma, two tumor types that can affect children and young adults. It is given as an oral therapy and has not been approved by the FDA.

What does tovorafenib target?

Tovorafenib targets RAF kinases, specifically RAF1, BRAF, and ARAF. By inhibiting these kinases, it is designed to block RAF-driven signaling in tumors that carry RAF alterations. This mechanism underlies its development in RAF-altered pediatric low-grade glioma and in craniopharyngioma.

Who is developing tovorafenib?

Tovorafenib is being developed by Day One Biopharmaceuticals, Inc., which trades on Nasdaq under the ticker DAWN. The company is running clinical programs in pediatric low-grade glioma and craniopharyngioma, including a Phase 3 study comparing tovorafenib with standard-of-care chemotherapy in first-line pediatric low-grade glioma.

What phase is tovorafenib in?

Tovorafenib is in Phase 2 development for craniopharyngioma and relapsed or progressive low-grade glioma, and it is also being studied in a Phase 3 trial in first-line pediatric low-grade glioma. It remains investigational and is not FDA approved; the clinical program is ongoing across multiple countries.

What clinical trials is tovorafenib in?

Tovorafenib is being studied in NCT05566795, a Phase 3 trial comparing it with standard-of-care chemotherapy in pediatric low-grade glioma (FIREFLY-2), and in NCT05465174, a Phase 2 trial in children and young adults with craniopharyngioma. A third study, NCT04775485, is a Phase 2 trial in relapsed or progressive low-grade glioma and advanced solid tumors.

What is tovorafenib used for in low-grade glioma?

Tovorafenib is being studied for pediatric low-grade glioma, including RAF-altered tumors, both as first-line therapy versus standard-of-care chemotherapy and in relapsed or progressive disease. It is also in development for craniopharyngioma in children and young adults. These uses are investigational and not yet approved.
