NANT 2015-02: A Phase 1 Study of Lorlatinib (PF-06463922)

NCT03107988

Description:

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).

Purpose

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).

Detailed Description

      Lorlatinib is a novel inhibitor across ALK variants, including those resistant to crizotinib.
      An adult phase 1 study established an RP2D of 100mg QD for lorlatinib. 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).

      Lorlatinib will be administered orally via tablets or via oral dispersion if patient is
      unable to swallow tablets whole

      All patients will participate in mandatory pharmacokinetic testing.

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:Recommended phase 2 dose of lorlatinib administered orally to children and adolescents
Time Frame:Approximately 2 years
Safety Issue:
Description:By dose level (Dose Escalation of lorlatinib Only; The entry dose of lorlatinib at 45 mg/m2 /dose is equivalent to 75% of the adult RP2D). Two to six evaluable patients will be entered at each of the three dose levels for determination of the maximum tolerated dose.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure:Evaluation of overall response
Time Frame:Overall response is assessed at 8, 16, 24, 40, and 56 weeks from start of therapy, and then every 16 weeks, and at end of protocol therapy; an average of 24 weeks.
Safety Issue:
Description:Overall response is the measure that will be used to assess anti-tumor activity, and is determined by integration of the soft tissue response, bone response, and bone marrow response according to the NANT Response Criteria, Version 2.0 definitions. Responders are defined as patients with an overall response of Complete Response, Complete Response-Minimal Disease, or Partial Response.
Measure:Evaluation of soft tissue response
Time Frame:Soft tissue response is assessed at 8, 16, 24, 40, and 56 weeks from start of therapy, and then every 16 weeks, and at end of protocol therapy; an average of 24 weeks.
Safety Issue:
Description:Soft tissue response is assessed by CT/MRI scans using RECIST criteria to define measurable lesions with the addition of MIBG and/or FDG-PET (only for MIBG non-avid tumors) avidity and/or biopsy to define target lesions for response.
Measure:Evaluation of bone response
Time Frame:Bone response is assessed at 8, 16, 24, 40, and 56 weeks from start of therapy, and then every 16 weeks, and at end of protocol therapy; an average of 24 weeks.
Safety Issue:
Description:Bone response is assessed by MIBG scans for MIBG avid tumors, and by FDG-PET scans for MIBG non-avid tumors, using sectors 1-9 of the Curie scoring to determine the relative score at each response timepoint.
Measure:Evaluation of bone marrow response
Time Frame:Bone marrow response is assessed at 8, 16, 24, 40, and 56 weeks from start of therapy, and then every 16 weeks, and at end of protocol therapy; an average of 24 weeks.
Safety Issue:
Description:Bone marrow response is assessed by morphologic and immunohistologic evaluation of bilateral bone marrow aspirates and biopsies
