Abstract Background Selumetinib is the first approved treatment for pediatric patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and symptomatic, inoperable plexiform neurofibromas (PN) in the EU and US, as well as in multiple other countries. Evidence for the management of selumetinib-associated adverse events (AEs) is mostly limited to clinical trials and expanded-access programs. We gathered a panel of European healthcare practitioners with clinical experience prescribing selumetinib and/or managing pediatric patients with NF1-PN to provide recommendations on the prevention and management of AEs. Methods A modified Delphi approach was used to develop the recommendations among the group of experts. Initial statements were developed from a literature review of current management recommendations and regulatory reports. The panel refined the statements and rated the extent to which they agreed with them in 2 sessions and a follow-up survey. The panel comprised 2 pediatric neuro-oncologists, 1 pediatric oncologist, 1 pediatrician, 1 neuropediatrician, 1 oncologist, 1 neurologist, 2 psychologists, and 1 dermatologist. Results The experts agreed on the relative frequency and impact of AEs potentially associated with selumetinib. Consensus-level agreement was reached for 36 statements regarding the prevention and management of AEs potentially associated with selumetinib. Experts recommended treatments for AEs based on their experience. Conclusions The development of a variety of consensus statements indicates expert agreement on best practices for the prevention and management of AEs potentially associated with selumetinib in pediatric patients with NF1-PN. These events are generally manageable and should be considered alongside treatment benefit. Information sharing is warranted as further experience is gained.
