Summary
This phase II trial studies how well the combination of dabrafenib and trametinib works after
radiation therapy in children and young adults with high grade glioma who have a genetic
change called BRAF V600 mutation. Radiation therapy uses high energy rays to kill tumor cells
and reduce the size of tumors. Dabrafenib and trametinib may stop the growth of tumor cells
by blocking BRAF and MEK, respectively, which are enzymes that tumor cells need for their
growth. Giving dabrafenib with trametinib after radiation therapy may work better than
treatments used in the past in patients with newly-diagnosed BRAF V600-mutant high-grade
glioma.
