Next Generation Personalized Neuroblastoma Therapy

NCT02780128

Description:

The purpose of this research study is to match genomic aberrations in tumor cells at time of relapse to rationally designed combinations of molecularly targeted agents. This study will be done in two parts: Part I: Tumor will be accessed at study entry via a biopsy and subjected to deep sequencing to identify protocol-specified biomarkers for therapy assignment. Part II: If the tumor contains a genetic change defined by the study as being actionable, and other criteria are met, participants will be assigned to therapy based upon the genetic changes identified in the tumor biopsy.

Molecular AnalysisOtherAll participants with relapsed or refractory neuroblastoma will have a tumor biopsy to identify genetic mutations. There is no drug given in this arm of the trial.
    Group 1: ALKExperimentalQualified participants whose tumors show certain mutations in the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) pathway (based on genetic sequencing results) will receive a combination therapy of ceritinib and ribociclib, to be administered orally in 28-day cycles. Two different doses of ceritinib and three different doses of ribociclib will be evaluated. Once the investigators have identified the highest safe dose of both drugs that can be given at the same time, additional participants will be enrolled in the study at this dose level. It is possible that if starting at a lower dose, participants may take a higher dose once that dose has been deemed safe.

    Primary Outcome Measures

    Measure:Incidence of dose limiting toxicities when combining ceritinib with ribociclib
    Time Frame:At the end of Cycle 1 (each cycle is 28 days)
    Safety Issue:
    Description:The primary variable is the incidence of dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) during the first 28 days of therapy

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    Measure:Cataloguing of genomic alterations identified from biopsies performed at time of relapse in patients with relapsed or refractory neuroblastoma
    Time Frame:3 years
    Safety Issue:
    Description:Neuroblastomas undergo substantial mutational evolution during therapy, and relapsed disease is more likely to be driven by a targetable oncogenic pathway. Genomic alterations measured by next-generation sequencing at time of disease progression will be characterized and reported in a descriptive manner.
