Brief Summary: Langerhans cell histiocytosis LCH is a disease caused by clonal expansion proliferation and dissemination of cells that are phenotypically close to Langerhans cells in different tissues and organs The clinical presentation of LCH varies greatly from one solid bone tumor to multisystem lesion that involves liver spleen and bone marrow

The basis of LCH is the clonal proliferation of the pathological cells These cells express CD1a and CD207 markers on their surface and originate from myeloid progenitors The main event in life circle of these cells is the MEK-ERK cascade mutation The most common mutation is the substitution of valine for glutamic acid in position 600 of BRAF gene The influence of this mutation was confirmed by GBadalyan-Very et al in 2010 About 64 of all LCH are caused by clonal proliferation due to BRAF V600E mutation

Despite generally good results of therapy of monosystemic LCH the treatment of LCH with risk organs lesion is still a challenge 5-years survival is as low as 40-50

Combination of cytarabine and 2-chlorodeoxyadenosine was supposed to improve the results but the cost was a very high toxicity that limits the application of the regimen in patients with severe infections

Currently there is a lot of information on BRAF V600E inhibitors in patients with LCH and other histiocytic disorders Most of them report the dramatic efficacy of BRAF V600E inhibitors but after quick effect patients usually burden minimal disease activity plateau effect However discontinuation of the therapy results in quick disease reactivation

Considering this a trial that combines targeted therapy vemurafenib and low-dose chemotherapy cytarabine and 2-chlorodeoxyadenosine in order to achieve complete response with manageable toxicity is proposed

Considering this a trial that combines targeted therapy vemurafenib and low-dose chemotherapy cytarabine and 2-chlorodeoxyadenosine in order to achieve complete response with manageable toxicity is proposed

Patients who met the eligibility criteria evaluate their condition using DAS score on Day 0 and start the therapy with oral intake of vemurafenib 20 mgkgd rounded off to a whole capsule from day 1 to day 28 NB In life-threatening cases the treatment can be started empirically without BRAF V600E detection in any affected tissue

During that period their condition will be strictly monitored in order to control BRAF V600E inhibitor side effects Moreover serum levels of vemurafenib should be evaluated on any two points after day 3 and before day 28 Serum concentration should be measured with the mass-spectrometry method in the positive ionization regimen

On day 28 condition must be evaluated with DAS again and vemurafenib intake should be stopped On day 29 Ara-C 2-CdA course 1 should be started It takes 5 days on day 34 vemurafenib intake should be continued

Each patient should undergo 3 courses of Ara-C 2-CdA with 28 days between each course After each course G-CSF stimulation and proper antibacterialantifungal therapy are to be applied

Before each course patients condition should be evaluated with DAS scale After Ara-C 2-CdA 3 patient should undergo a more thorough evaluation that includes bone marrow aspiration After that vemurafenib intake should be stopped and mono 2-CdA course starts After 5 days of the course vemurafenib intake shouldnt be restarted

After 3 courses of mono 2-CdA all specific therapy stops On each DAS evaluation point serum for digital droplet polymerase chain reaction ddPCR should also be collected With the help of ddPCR it could be possible to analyze cell-free DNA cfDNA harboring BRAF V600E mutation and thus to create a method of disease activity control

Taking into account the small potential number of the included patients the analysis of data will be based on Simon two-step design

All reactivation-free survival and overall survival rates will be evaluated with standard Kaplan-Mayer method

All severe side effects will be evaluated with standard CTCAE scale

All operations with patients data informed consents will be performed according to the internal SOPs
