Summary
This phase 3 trial compares the effect of selumetinib versus the standard of care treatment
with carboplatin and vincristine (CV) in treating patients with newly diagnosed or previously
untreated low-grade glioma (LGG) that does not have a genetic abnormality called BRAFV600E
mutation and is not associated with systemic neurofibromatosis type 1. Selumetinib works by
blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and may kill tumor cells. Carboplatin and
vincristine are chemotherapy drugs that work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor
cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. The overall goal of
this study is to see if selumetinib works just as well as the standard treatment of CV for
patients with LGG. Another goal of this study is to compare the effects of selumetinib versus
CV in subjects with LGG to find out which is better. Additionally, this trial will also
examine if treatment with selumetinib improves the quality of life for subjects who take it.
