Papillary craniopharyngiomas (PCPs) are characterized by the presence of BRAF V600E mutations, which are emerging as a useful guide for diagnosis and treatment decision making. The ongoing multicenter phase 2 Alliance A071601 trial is evaluating the efficacy of BRAF and mitogen‐activated protein kinase kinase (MEK) inhibitors for patients with PCPs. With continued successful responses, it is proposed that BRAF (and MEK) inhibitors be evaluated for the neoadjuvant treatment of patients with PCPs.
