Study Description

A study to learn about safety and find out maximum tolerable dose of palbociclib given in combination with chemotherapy (temozolomide with irinotecan or topotecan with cyclophosphamide) in children, adolescents and young adults with recurrent or refractory solid tumors (phase 1).

Neuroblastoma tumor specific cohort to further evaluate antitumor activity of palbociclib in combination with topotecan and cyclophosphamide in children, adolescents, and young adults with recurrent or refractory neuroblastoma.

Phase 2 [Closed to Enrollment] is to learn about the efficacy of palbociclib in combination with irinotecan and temozolomide when compared with irinotecan and temozolomide alone in the treatment of children, adolescents, and young adults with recurrent or refractory Ewing sarcoma (EWS). Phase 2 open-label, randomized portion of the study will randomize patients in a 2:1 ratio to receive either palbociclib in combination with irinotecan and temozolomide (Arm A) or irinotecan and temozolomide chemotherapy alone (Arm B).

Study Description

This is an open-label, single arm, multi-center, pilot study of Nivolumab in pediatric patients with recurrent or refractory hypermutant malignancies aged 12 months to 18 years of age. This study is to assess clinical and radiological benefits of treatment with Nivolumab in children with hypermutated cancers, including those with bMMRD syndrome. It is our expectation that patients with bMMRD syndrome will account for the majority of patients enrolled on this study.

Nivolumab (also referred to as BMS-936558 or MDX1106) is a human monoclonal antibody (HuMAb; immunoglobulin G4 [IgG4]-S228P) that targets the programmed death-1 (PD-1) cluster of differentiation 279 (CD279) cell surface membrane receptor. Nivolumab will be administered every 14 days until disease progression or treatment discontinuation due to unacceptable toxicities. Treatment may extend up to 2 years in patients who show clinical and radiological benefit (dose: 3 mg/kg intravenously as a continuous infusion over 60 min).

Primary Outcome Measures  :

  1. To evaluate the objective response rate to Nivolumab in bMMRD positive pediatric patients with refractory hypermutated malignancies 

    Objective response rate will assessed by physical assessments, lab values, disease assessments and adverse events that are related to treatment. Scheduled time-points and the above assessments are detailed further in section "9.1 Study Calendar" of the protocol.

  2. To evaluate the objective response rate to Nivolumab in bMMRD positive pediatric patients with recurrent hypermutated malignancies.

    Objective response rate will assessed by physical assessments, lab values, disease assessments and adverse events that are related to treatment. Scheduled time-points and the above assessments are detailed further in section "9.1 Study Calendar" of the protocol.

  3. Estimating the feasibility of using Nivolumab as a treatment in bMMRD positive, pediatric patients with refractory or recurrent hypermutated malignancies. Feasibility of treatment will be measured using a patient's disease response assessment. This means using standard RECIST criteria for solid tumours, iRANO/RANO criteria for CNS malignancies and the revised AML International Working Group (IWG) Criteria for haematological malignancies; modified RECIST criteria for immune response may be considered during the time of study.

Secondary Outcome Measures  :

  1. The progression free survival (PFS) of pediatric patients with progressive or recurrent hypermutated malignancies including bMMRD patients treated with Nivolumab.
  2. Number of Participants with Abnormal Laboratory Values and/or Adverse Events That Are Related to Treatment. These will be assessed by abnormal findings in physical assessments, lab values, disease assessments and adverse events

 Time Frame: 5 years (60 months) from date of enrollment

Study Description

Brief Summary:

This research study is studying an investigational drug called BMS-986158 as a possible treatment for pediatric solid tumors, lymphoma, or brain tumors.

Detailed Description:

This is a Phase I clinical trial, which tests the safety of an investigational drug and also tries to define the appropriate dose of the investigational drug to use for further studies. "Investigational" means that the drug is being studied.

The FDA (the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) has not approved BMS-986158 as a treatment for any disease.

BMS-986158 is currently still being studied in adults. This is the first time that BMS-986158 will be evaluated in younger children, though children 12-17 years of age may also be included in parts of adult studies of BMS-986158.

Research in the laboratory has shown that BMS-986158 may have activity against cancer cells. BMS-986158 belongs to a group of drugs called Bromodomain (BRD) and Extra-Terminal Domain (BET) inhibitors. These drugs block proteins that are important in reading DNA, which is a process important for cancer cells.

Study Description

This study includes a dose-escalation phase in Part A to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) followed by 5 monotherapy expansion arms in Part B to further evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and clinical activity of 23ME-00610 in patients with solid malignancies. Only Part B is open at pediatric sites. 

Primary Outcome Measures:

  1. Part A: Incidence and severity of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) 
  2. Part B adolescents: Incidence and severity of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) 
  3. Part A: Incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs) 
  4. Part B adolescents: Incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs)
  5. Part A: Incidence and severity of serious adverse events (SAEs) 
  6. Part B adolescents: Incidence and severity of serious adverse events (SAEs) 
  7. Part A: Incidence of withdrawals due to AEs
  8. Part B adolescents: Incidence of withdrawals due to AEs 
  9. Part B: Objective response rate (ORR) 

    ORR based on investigator assessment against RECIST 1.1 criteria

Secondary Outcome Measures:

  1. Prevalence and incidence of antidrug antibodies (ADA) to 23ME-00610 [ Time Frame: Up to 5 days post treatment discontinuation ]
  2. Part A: Objective response rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: From baseline until disease progression (up to 5 years) ]

    ORR based on investigator assessment against RECIST 1.1 criteria

  3. Duration of response (DoR) [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]

    Duration of response based on investigator assessment against RECIST 1:1 criteria

  4. Disease Control Rate (DCR) [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]

    Disease control rate based on investigator assessment against RECIST 1:1 criteria

  5. Progression free survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]

    Progression free survival based on investigator assessment against RECIST 1:1 criteria

  6. Overall survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
  7. Maximum serum concentration (Cmax) following a single dose of 23ME-00610 
  8. Time of maximum serum concentration (Tmax) following a single dose of 23ME-00610 
  9. Area under the concentration-time curve from zero to the last measurable concentration (AUClast) following a single dose of 23ME-00610 
  10. Last measurable serum concentration (Clast) following a single dose of 23ME-00610
  11. Area under the concentration-time curve from zero extrapolated to infinity (AUCinf) following a single dose of 23ME-00610
