Luvometinib: First Approval. (PubMed, Drugs)
In May 2025, luvometinib was approved in china for the treatment of adult patients with Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) and histiocytic neoplasms and for the treatment of paediatric patients aged ≥ 2 years with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) who have symptomatic plexiform neurofibromas (PN) not amenable to complete resection. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of luvometinib leading to this first approval for the treatment of adult patients with LCH/histiocytic tumours and children and adolescents aged ≥ 2 years with NF1 with symptomatic, inoperable PN.
