4.1Clinical Trials Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
The safety population described in WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS reflects exposure to OJEMDA taken orally once weekly at a dose based on body surface area

6CLINICAL STUDIES
The efficacy of OJEMDA was evaluated in a multicenter, open-label, single-arm clinical trial (FIREFLY-1; NCT04775485). Eligible patients (N=76) were required to have a relapsed or refractory pediatric low-grade glioma (LGG) harboring an activating
Patients received OJEMDA approximately 420 mg/m
Tumor assessments were performed every 12 weeks.
The major efficacy outcome measure was overall response rate (ORR), defined as the proportion of patients with complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or minor response (MR) by blinded independent central review based on RAPNO-LGG (Response Assessment in Pediatric Neuro-Oncology) criteria. Additional efficacy outcome measures were duration of response, time to response, and ORR by independent review based on RANO-LGG (2011) criteria.
The efficacy population included 76 patients who had measurable disease at baseline and who received OJEMDA. The median age was 8.5 years (range 2 to 21 years); 53% were male; 61% White, 7% Asian, 2.6% Black or African American, 3.9% multiple races, 8% other race, 18% where race was not reported; 3.9% were Hispanic or Latino, and 93% had Karnofsky/Lansky performance status of 80 to 100. Patients received a median of 3 prior systemic regimens (range: 1 to 9). Forty-five patients (59%) received prior treatment with a MAP kinase pathway inhibitor. The most common tumor locations were the optic pathway (51%), deep midline structures (12%), brain stem (8%), cerebellum (7%), and cerebral hemisphere (5%). Fifty-six patients (74%) had a
Among responders, the median time to response was 5.4 months (range 1.6, 17.5). In exploratory analyses of
Based on RANO-LGG (2011) criteria (n=76), the ORR was 54% [95% CI: (42, 65)], including 23 patients with PR and 18 patients with MR.
