Frequently asked questions about OJEMDA

OJEMDA is a prescription medicine used to treat certain types of brain tumors (cancers) called gliomas in patients 6 months and older:

  • that is a low-grade glioma (LGG), and
  • that has come back after previous treatment or has not responded to previous treatment, and
  • that has a certain type of abnormal “BRAF” gene.

Your child's doctor will perform a test to make sure that OJEMDA is right for your child. It is not known if OJEMDA is safe and effective in children younger than 6 months of age

OJEMDA was studied in a clinical trial called FIREFLY-1. The study looked at whether OJEMDA is a safe and effective way to keep tumors from growing in children with BRAF fusion or BRAF V600, whose tumors came back or did not respond to previous treatment like chemotherapy or targeted treatment.

OJEMDA was not compared to other treatments.

Available results were reviewed in June 2023, and based on the review of efficacy and safety, OJEMDA received FDA approval.

Full trial results will be reviewed by end of 2024.
