Tipifarnib for the Treatment of Advanced Solid Tumors, Lymphoma, or Histiocytic Disorders With HRAS Gene Alterations, a Pediatric MATCH Treatment Trial

NCT04284774

Description:

This phase II pediatric MATCH trial studies how well tipifarnib works in treating patients with solid tumors that have recurred or spread to other places in the body (advanced), lymphoma, or histiocytic disorders, that have a genetic alteration in the gene HRAS. Tipifarnib may block the growth of cancer cells that have specific genetic changes in a gene called HRAS and may reduce tumor size.

Purpose

This phase II pediatric MATCH trial studies how well tipifarnib works in treating patients with solid tumors that have recurred or spread to other places in the body (advanced), lymphoma, or histiocytic disorders, that have a genetic alteration in the gene HRAS. Tipifarnib may block the growth of cancer cells that have specific genetic changes in a gene called HRAS and may reduce tumor size.

Detailed Description

      PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

      I. To determine the objective response rate (ORR; complete response + partial response) in
      pediatric patients treated with tipifarnib with advanced solid tumors (including central
      nervous system [CNS] tumors), lymphomas or histiocytic disorders that harbor activating
      genetic alterations in HRAS.

      SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To estimate the progression free survival in pediatric patients treated with tipifarnib
      with advanced solid tumors (including CNS tumors), lymphomas or histiocytic disorders that
      harbor activating genetic alterations in HRAS.

      II. To obtain information about the tolerability of tipifarnib in children and adolescents
      with relapsed or refractory cancer.

      EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To evaluate other biomarkers as predictors of response to tipifarnib and specifically,
      whether tumors that harbor different missense mutations or variant allele frequency will
      demonstrate differential response to tipifarnib treatment.

      II. To explore approaches to profiling changes in tumor genomics over time through evaluation
      of circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).

      OUTLINE:

      Patients receive tipifarnib orally (PO) or via nasogastric or gastric tube twice daily (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.

      After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days, then periodically
      thereafter.

        Exclusion Criteria:

          -  Pregnant or breast-feeding women will not be entered on this study due to risks of
             fetal and teratogenic adverse events as seen in animal/human studies. Pregnancy tests

Safety Issue:
Description:PFS along with the confidence intervals will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

Time Frame:From enrollment to the end of treatment, up to 2 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Percentage of patients experiencing grade 3 or higher adverse events will be evaluated according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0.
