Overview

What is the purpose of this study?
This Pediatric MATCH screening and multi-sub-study phase II trial studies how well treatment that is directed by genetic testing works in pediatric patients with solid tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphomas, or histiocytic disorders that have progressed following at least one line of standard systemic therapy and/or for which no standard treatment exists that has been shown to prolong survival. Genetic tests look at the unique genetic material (genes) of patients' tumor cells. Patients with genetic changes or abnormalities (mutations) may benefit more from treatment which targets their tumor's particular genetic mutation, and may help doctors plan better treatment for patients with solid tumors or non-Hodgkin lymphomas.

THIS STUDY IS ENROLLING BY INVITATION ONLY - Consistent with most oncology trials, patients are not actively “recruited,” but are screened by their physician for appropriate clinical trial(s) at the time of their routine clinic visit. Occasionally, a patient may be a self-referral or physician referral, but are still screened for appropriate clinical trials at the time of their routine clinic visit. PI and staff may send copies of relevant consent forms to these patients to look over prior to actually consenting or enrolling them. This may take place at the patient's visit at which the consent is presented or the patient's next visit to the outpatient hematology/oncology clinic.

Description

What will happen during the study?
STEP 1 (SCREENING): Patients undergo biopsy along with tumor mutational screening of the biopsy material for specific, pre-defined mutations, amplifications, or translocations of interest via tumor sequencing and immunohistochemistry. Patients also undergo collection of blood samples for research purposes.

STEP 2 (TREATMENT): Patients with a mutation targeted by one or more of the investigational drugs used in this study or those without mutations are assigned to 1 of 10 treatment subprotocols.

APEC1621A: Patients with a NTRK1, NTRK2, or NTRK3 gene fusion receive larotrectinib sulfate orally (PO) or via nasogastric- or gastric-tube twice daily (BID) on days 1-28. Cycles repeat every 28 days for 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

APEC1621B: Patients with a FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3, or FGFR4 gene mutation receive erdafitinib PO once daily (QD) on days 1-28 of each cycle. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 26 cycles (2 years) in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo an x-ray, computed tomography (CT scan), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), radionuclide imaging, and/or bone scan, as well as a bone marrow aspiration and/or biopsy during screening and on study. Patients also undergo blood sample collection on study.

APEC1621C: Patients with an EZH2, SMARCB1, or SMARCA4 gene mutation receive tazemetostat PO BID on days 1-28. Cycles repeat every 28 days for 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

APEC1621D: Patients with a TSC1, TSC2, or PI3K/mTOR gene mutations receive PI3K/mTOR inhibitor LY3023414 PO BID on days 1-28. Cycles repeat every 28 days for 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

APEC1621E: Patients with an activating MAPK pathway gene mutation receive selumetinib sulfate PO BID on days 1-28. Cycles repeat every 28 days for 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

APEC1621F: Patients with an ALK or ROS1 gene alteration receive ensartinib (ALK Inhibitor X-396) PO BID on days 1-28. Cycles repeat every 28 days for 2 years (up to 26 cycles) in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo an x-ray, CT scan, MRI, PET scan, radionuclide imaging, and/or bone scan, as well as a bone marrow aspiration and/or biopsy during screening and on study. Patients also undergo blood sample collection on study.

APEC1621G: Patients with a BRAF V600 gene mutation receive vemurafenib PO BID on days 1-28. Cycles repeat every 28 days for 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

APEC1621H: Patients with deleterious ATM, BRCA1, BRCA2, RAD51C, or RAD51D gene mutations receive olaparib PO BID on days 1-28. Cycles repeat every 28 days for 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

APEC1621I: Patients with Rb positive advanced solid tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or histiocytic disorders with activating alterations in cell cycle genes receive palbociclib PO QD on days 1-21. Cycles repeat every 28 days for up to 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

APEC1621J: Patients with MAPK Pathway Mutations receive ulixertinib PO BID. Cycles repeat every 28 days for up to 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

APEC1621M: Patients with HRAS gene alterations receive tipifarnib PO or via nasogastric or gastric tube BID on days 1-7 and 15-21. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 26 cycles (2 years) in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

APEC1621N: Patients with activating RET gene alterations receive selpercatinib PO BID on days 1-28. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 26 cycles (2 years) in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients may also undergo PET, CT, MRI, PET/CT, PET/MRI, and/or CT/MRI, scintigraphy, and x-ray imaging throughout the trial.
