Description

Summary

This phase II Pediatric MATCH trial studies how well ulixertinib works in treating patients with solid tumors that have spread to other places in the body (advanced), non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or histiocytic disorders that have a genetic alteration (mutation) in a signaling pathway called MAPK. A signaling pathway consists of a group of molecules in a cell that control one or more cell functions. Genes in the MAPK pathway are frequently mutated in many types of cancers. Ulixertinib may stop the growth of cancer cells that have mutations in the MAPK pathway.

Official Title

NCI-COG Pediatric MATCH (Molecular Analysis for Therapy Choice) - Phase 2 Subprotocol of BVD-523FB (Ulixertinib) in Patients With Tumors Harboring Activating MAPK Pathway Mutations

Details

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the objective response rate (ORR; complete response + partial response) in pediatric patients treated with BVD-523FB (ulixertinib) with advanced solid tumors (including central nervous system [CNS] tumors), non-Hodgkin lymphomas or histiocytic disorders that harbor activating genetic alterations in the MAPK pathway.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To estimate the progression free survival in pediatric patients treated with BVD-523FB (ulixertinib) with advanced solid tumors (including CNS tumors), non-Hodgkin lymphomas or histiocytic disorders that harbor activating genetic alterations in the MAPK pathway.

II. To obtain information about the tolerability of BVD-523FB (ulixertinib) in children and adolescents with relapsed or refractory cancer.

III. To provide preliminary estimates of the pharmacokinetics of BVD-523FB (ulixertinib) in children and adolescents with relapsed or refractory cancer.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To evaluate other biomarkers as predictors of response to BVD-523FB (ulixertinib) and specifically, whether tumors that harbor different mutations or fusions will demonstrate differential response to BVD-523FB (ulixertinib) treatment.

II. To explore approaches to profiling changes in tumor genomics over time through evaluation of circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.

Patients receive ulixertinib orally (PO) twice daily (BID). Cycles repeat every 28 days for up to 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up periodically.

  • Patient must have enrolled onto APEC1621SC and must have been given a treatment assignment to MATCH to APEC1621J based on the presence of an actionable mutation.
  • Patients must have a body surface area >= 0.54 m2 at the time of study enrollment.

Patients with neuroblastoma who do not have measurable disease but have metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG)+ evaluable disease are eligible. Measurable disease in patients with central nervous system (CNS) involvement is defined as tumor that is measurable in two perpendicular diameters on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and visible on more than one slice.
    • Note: The following do not qualify as measurable disease:

Patients who are unable to walk because of paralysis, but who are up in a wheelchair, will be considered ambulatory for the purpose of assessing the performance score.
  • Patients must have fully recovered from the acute toxic effects of all prior anti-cancer therapy and must meet the following minimum duration from prior anti-cancer directed therapy prior to enrollment. If after the required timeframe, the numerical eligibility criteria are met, e.g. blood count criteria, the patient is considered to have recovered adequately.
    • Cytotoxic chemotherapy or other anti-cancer agents known to be myelosuppressive.
      • >= 21 days after the last dose of cytotoxic or myelosuppressive chemotherapy (42 days if prior nitrosourea).
