Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

The number of participants who achieve or exceed a predetermined threshold of improvement in their most significant symptom at 48 weeks based on the Vascular Malformation Patient Specific Outcome Measure (VM-PSOM).
At 48 weeks

Vascular malformations present with a range of different symptoms. Therefore, there is no single outcome measure that can capture the effectiveness of a systemic treatment across different patients. Thus for this study, an individualised primary outcome for each patient informed by their symptoms will be used, termed the Vascular Malformation Patient Specific Outcome Measure (VM-PSOM). The study "Outcome Committee" will define an individualised primary outcome for each patient informed by their symptoms and vascular malformation features prior to starting trial treatments. The VM-PSOM endpoint will therefore define a binary outcome for each patients (achieved or failed to reach the threshold improvement in the chosen measure).

Confirmed Objective Response Rate at the End of the Treatment Phase.
Up to 24 months

Response will be determined by a blinded centralized review of volumetric MRI. The confirmed objective response rate (complete or partial response) by the end of Treatment Phase (i.e., Cycle 24) is defined as the proportion of participants who have a confirmed ≥ 20% reduction in target tumor volume as compared to baseline as assessed by a BICR, and the response needs to be confirmed by BICR in a consecutive tumor assessment within 2 - 6 months. Partial response is defined as a ≥ 20% reduction in target tumor volume from baseline. Complete response is defined as the complete resolution of the target tumor.

Assess the safety of continuous and three week on-one week off dosing of mirdametinib in adults with NF1 and cutaneous neurofibromas (cNFs).
Up to 28 days

Phase 1 will test the safety and tolerability of multiple dose regimens of mirdametinib, in order to identify the recommended phase 2 dose(s) for phase 2a. The study will continue until one of the stopping conditions is met. * The RP2D(s) have been identified with sufficient accuracy (The dose regimen(s) selected as the RP2D have been fully enrolled with at least 3 cycles of treatment completed for all participants) * All dose regimens are deemed to have unacceptable safety The study will continue until one of the following stopping conditions is met. * The RP2D(s) have been identified with sufficient accuracy (The dose regimen(s) selected as the RP2D have been fully enrolled with at least 3 cycles of treatment completed for all participants) * All dose regimens are deemed to have unacceptable safety

Define the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of mirdametinib in adults with NF1 and cNF.
Up to 28 days

Phase 2a of the study will test the efficacy and safety of a maximum of two RP2Ds in adults with NF1 and cNF.

• Evaluate the preliminary anti-tumor activity of mirdametinib monotherapy in adults with NF1 and cNFs.
Up to 28 days

Evaluate the efficacy of mirdametinib monotherapy at the RP2D in adults with NF1 and cNF. We will determine efficacy of Anti-tumor activity with 3D photography (Sum of the surface area, sum of the tumor volume, sum of the longest diameter) and Digital Caliper (Sum of the longest diameter).

Phase 1: Estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of mirdametinib dosed twice daily on a continuous schedule in pediatric patients with progressive or recurrent low-grade glioma.
1 month after start of mirdametinib treatment

The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is empirically defined as the highest dose level at which six patients have been treated with at most one patient experiencing a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and the next higher dose level determined to be too toxic. The MTD estimate will not be available if the lowest dose level studied is too toxic or the highest dose level studied is considered safe. In the latter case, the highest studied safe dose may be considered as the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D). The MTD estimation will be limited to evaluable patients and toxicity assessments from course 1 (28 days). We will require that at least 12 DLT evaluable subjects are assessed before the MTD/RP2D is declared.

Phase 1: Determine the safety and tolerability of mirdametinib dosed twice daily on a continuous schedule in pediatric patients with progressive or recurrent low-grade glioma.
Up to 25 months after start of mirdametinib treatment

Incidence of adverse event data at least possibly related to treatment will be summarized in cohort specific tables by grade and attribution throughout treatment.

Up to 24 months after start of mirdametinib treatment

The response rate, defined as the rate of minor response, partial response (PR), major response, or complete response (CR) will be calculated as the percentage of confirmed responders among all response assessable patients. These rates as well as their exact confidence intervals will be provided and will be summarized by each response category (i.e., PR, major response, and CR). Subjects without an assessment will be considered non-responders.
