Study Description

The purpose of the phase 1 portion (dose escalation) of the study will be to establish an optimally safe and biologically active recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) and/or to determine maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for gilteritinib in sequential combination with fludarabine, cytarabine and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (FLAG). The purpose of the phase 2 portion (dose expansion) is to determine complete remission (CR) rates and composite complete remission (CRc) rates after two cycles of therapy. The study will also assess safety, tolerability and toxicities of gilteritinib in combination with FLAG, evaluate FLT3 inhibition, assess pharmacokinetics (PK), perform serial measurements of minimal residual disease, obtain preliminary estimates of 1-year event free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) rate and assess the acceptability as well as palatability of the formulation.

Study Description

This phase III trial compares the effect of vinorelbine with vincristine, dactinomycin, and cyclophosphamide (VAC) followed by vinorelbine and cyclophosphamide versus VAC followed by vinorelbine and cyclophosphamide for the treatment of high risk rhabdomyosarcoma. Chemotherapy drugs, such as vinorelbine, vincristine, dactinomycin, and cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving vinorelbine and VAC may kill more tumor cells. Adding maintenance therapy (vinorelbine and cyclophosphamide) after VAC therapy, with or without vinorelbine, may help get rid of the cancer and/or lower the chance that the cancer comes back.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To compare event-free survival (EFS) of patients with high-risk rhabdomyosarcoma (HR-RMS) treated with vinorelbine, dactinomycin and cyclophosphamide (VINO AC) followed by 24 weeks of vinorelbine and oral cyclophosphamide (VINO-CPO) maintenance therapy to that of patients treated with vincristine, dactinomycin and cyclophosphamide (VAC) followed by 24 weeks of VINO-CPO maintenance therapy.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To assess the safety and feasibility of administering VINO-AC in newly diagnosed patients with HR-RMS.

II. To describe the toxicity experience of patients with HR-RMS treated with VINO-AC compared to VAC.

III. To compare overall survival (OS) of patients with HR-RMS treated with VINO AC followed by 24 weeks of VINO-CPO maintenance therapy to that of patients treated with VAC followed by 24 weeks of VINO-CPO maintenance therapy.

IV. To compare objective radiologic response rates at week 12 between patients with HR-RMS treated with VINO-AC to those treated with VAC.

V. To determine whether the addition of 24 weeks of VINO-CPO maintenance therapy improves EFS in patients with HR-RMS when compared to historical controls.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE:

I. To collect serial blood samples and tumor tissue for banking at baseline, during treatment, at the end of therapy, and at the time of progression for future tumor and liquid biopsy studies.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.

  • ARM A: Patients receive vincristine sulfate intravenously (IV) on days 1, 8 and 15 of cycles 1-4, 7, 8, 11, and 12, and day 1 of cycles 6, 9, 10, 13, and 14. Patients also receive dactinomycin IV over 1-15 minutes on day 1 of cycles 1-5 and 8-14, and cyclophosphamide IV over 60 minutes on day 1 of each cycle. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 14 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo radiation therapy on weeks 13 and 40.
  • ARM B: Patients receive vinorelbine tartrate IV over 6-10 minutes on days 1 and 8, vincristine sulfate IV on day 15, dactinomycin IV over 1-15 minutes on day 1 of cycles 1-5 and 8-14, and cyclophosphamide IV over 60 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 14 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo radiation therapy on weeks 13 and 40.

 

MAINTENANCE: All patients receive vinorelbine tartrate IV over 6-10 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15, and cyclophosphamide orally (PO) on days 1-28. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 6 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Study Description

Patients with relapsed or refractory leukemia often develop resistance to chemotherapy and some patients who relapse following CD19 directed therapy relapse with CD19 negative leukemia. For this reason, the investigators are attempting to use T-cells obtained directly from the patient, which can be genetically modified to express two chimeric antigen receptors (CARs). One is to recognize CD19 and the other is to recognize CD22, both of which are proteins expressed on the surface of the leukemic cell in patients with CD19+CD22+ leukemia. The CAR enables the T-cell to recognize and kill the leukemic cell through recognition of CD19 and CD22. This is a phase 1 study designed to determine the safety of the CAR+ T-cells and the feasibility of making enough to treat patients with CD19+CD22+ leukemia.

Inclusion Criteria
  • First 2 subjects: male and female subjects age ≥18 and < 27 years (as of 2/16/18 the first 2 subjects were enrolled and treated); subsequent subjects: male and female subjects age ≥12 months of age and <27 years.

Study Description

Brief Summary:

Lorlatinib is a novel inhibitor across ALK variants, including those resistant to crizotinib. In this first pediatric phase 1 trial of lorlatinib, the drug will be utilized as a single agent and in combination with chemotherapy in patients with relapsed/refractory neuroblastoma. The dose escalation phase of this study (Cohort A1) uses a traditional Phase I 3+3 design. Once a recommended phase 2 pediatric dose is identified, an expansion cohort of 6 patients (Cohort B1), within which ALKi naïve patients will be prioritized, will be initiated. Parallel cohorts will be initiated in adults or patients with large BSA (Cohort A2) and in combination with chemotherapy upon establishing RP2D (Cohort B2).

Study Description

This phase I/II trial tests the safety, best dose, and whether elimusertib works in treating patients with solid tumors that have come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Elimusertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

 

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of BAY 1895344 (elimusertib) administered as an oral tablet, twice per day for 3 days on and 4 days off to patients < 18 years of age with recurrent or refractory Ewing sarcoma (and EWS fusions), PAX3-FOXO1 alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, and non-central nervous system (CNS) solid tumors or lymphoma with specific deleterious deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage response (DDR) pathway alterations. (Phase 1/Part A) II. To define the antitumor activity of BAY 1895344 (elimusertib) in pediatric patients and young adults with recurrent or refractory Ewing sarcoma (and EWS fusions). (Phase 2/Part B) III. To define the antitumor activity of BAY 1895344 (elimusertib) in pediatric patients and young adults with recurrent or refractory PAX3-FOXO1 fusion positive alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. (Phase 2/Part B) IV. To define and describe the toxicities of BAY 1895344 (elimusertib) administered on this schedule. (Phase 1/Part A)

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To characterize the pharmacokinetics of BAY 1895344 (elimusertib) in children and adolescents with recurrent or refractory cancer.

II. To assess the biologic activity of BAY 1895344 (elimusertib) by immunohistochemical assessments of phosphorylated (p)ATR, pH2AX, and pKAP1 in paired tissue samples before and after treatment with BAY 1895344 (elimusertib).

III. To assess whether the activity of BAY 1895344 (elimusertib) is influenced by alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT), as well as tumor tissue expression of ATM, PGBD5, and/or R-loops.

IV. To assess whether the activity of BAY 1895344 (elimusertib) is associated with tumor mutational processes, as measured by whole genome tumor tissue sequencing.

V. To preliminary determine the anti-tumor activity of BAY 1895344 (elimusertib) in children < 18 years of age within the confines of a phase 1 study (Phase 1 and 2/Part A and B).

VI. To assess the antitumor activity of BAY 1895344 (elimusertib) in pediatric patients with non-CNS solid tumors or lymphomas with specific deleterious alterations in DDR pathway genes. (Phase 2/Part B)

OUTLINE:

This is pediatric a phase I, dose-escalation study as well as a phase II dose expansion study in pediatric patients and young adults. Patients receive elimusertib orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-3, 8-10, 15-17, and 22-24 of each cycle. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 26 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 12 months, every 6 months for 24 months, and then annually for up to 60 months.
