Contents

The most common adverse reactions in adults include rash, diarrhea, nausea, musculoskeletal pain, vomiting, and fatigue. [3] The most common grade 3 or 4 laboratory abnormalities include increased creatine phosphokinase. [3] The most common adverse reactions in children include rash, diarrhea, musculoskeletal pain, abdominal pain, vomiting, headache, paronychia, left ventricular dysfunction, and nausea. [3] The most common grade 3 or 4 laboratory abnormalities include decreased neutrophil count and increased creatine phosphokinase. [3]

Mirdametinib was approved for medical use in the United States in February 2025. [1] [3]

Medical uses

Mirdametinib is indicated for the treatment of people with neurofibromatosis type 1 who have symptomatic plexiform neurofibromas not amenable to complete resection. [1]

Adverse effects

The most common adverse reactions in adults include rash, diarrhea, nausea, musculoskeletal pain, vomiting, and fatigue. [3] The most common grade 3 or 4 laboratory abnormalities include increased creatine phosphokinase. [3] The most common adverse reactions in children include rash, diarrhea, musculoskeletal pain, abdominal pain, vomiting, headache, paronychia, left ventricular dysfunction, and nausea. [3] The most common grade 3 or 4 laboratory abnormalities include decreased neutrophil count and increased creatine phosphokinase. [3]

Mirdametinib can cause left ventricular dysfunction and ocular toxicity including retinal vein occlusion, retinal pigment epithelial detachment, and blurred vision. [3]

History

The efficacy of mirdametinib was evaluated in ReNeu (NCT03962543), a multicenter, single-arm trial in 114 participants aged two years of age and older (58 adults, 56 pediatric participants) with symptomatic, inoperable NF1-associated plexiform neurofibromas causing significant morbidity. [3] An inoperable plexiform neurofibromas was defined as a plexiform neurofibromas that could not be completely surgically removed without risk for substantial morbidity due to encasement or close proximity to vital structures, invasiveness, or high vascularity. [3]

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted the application for mirdametinib priority review, fast track, and orphan drug designations along with a priority review voucher.

Society and culture

Mirdametinib was approved for medical use in the United States in February 2025. [3] [4] [5]
