A Phase 1/2 Study of PF-02341066, an Oral Small Molecule Inhibitor of Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) and C-Met, in Children With Relapsed/Refractory Solid Tumors and Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma


Background:

- PF-02341066 is a drug that in laboratory studies has been shown to block two proteins that
may be important in the growth of certain types of advanced cancer cells. PF-02341066 is
considered experimental because the Food and Drug Administration has not approved it for
marketing, but it is approved for use in this study. Researchers in the Children's Oncology
Group are interested in testing the safety and effectiveness of PF-02341066 in children who
have tumors or types of lymphoma that have not responded to the standard treatment for their
cancer.

Objectives:

- To determine the safety and effectiveness of PF-02341066 in treating children and
adolescents with solid tumors and lymphoma.

- To evaluate the effects of PF-02341066 in children and adolescents with solid tumors
and lymphoma.

Eligibility:

- Children and adolescents between 12 months and 21 years of age who have a recurrent or
progressive tumor or lymphoma that has not responded to standard treatment.

Design:

- Participants will be screened with a physical examination, medical history, blood
tests, and imaging studies.

- Participants will receive PF-02341066 as a capsule or liquid twice a day for 28-day
cycles of treatment. The dose will be adjusted depending on participants' response to
treatment. Participants will also keep a diary to record the date and time of
consumption and any side effects or other medications taken.

- Blood samples will be collected frequently during the treatment cycle, particularly
after the initial dose of PF-02341066. Participants may be asked to provide additional
blood and tumor samples for research purposes.

- Participants will receive PF-02341066 for up to 2 years unless serious side effects
develop or the cancer does not respond to treatment.


Background:

- PF-02341066 is an orally bioavailable small molecule inhibitor of the c-Met/hepatocyte
growth factor receptor (HGFR) and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) receptor tyrosine
kinase.

- The c-Met/HGFR kinase is frequently altered or dysregulated in advanced cancers and has
been implicated in tumor progression.

- ALK and its mutant translocation with the nucelophosmin gene (NPM-ALK) results in a
constitutively active ALK receptor tyrosine kinase expressed in the majority of
anaplastic large cell lymphomas (ALCL).

- Activating mutations in the tyrosine kinase domain of the ALK oncogene are responsible
for the majority of heritable neuroblastoma (NB) and these mutations can also be
somatically acquired.

- PF-02341066 has demonstrated pre-clinical anti-tumor activity in vitro and in vivo in a
variety of solid tumors including brain tumors, NB, and ALCL.

Objectives:

Primary Objectives:

- To estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommend a Phase 2 dose of
PF-02341066 administered orally twice daily to children with relapsed/refractory solid
tumors and ALCL.

- To define and describe the toxicities of PF-02341066 administered on this schedule.

- To characterize the pharmacokinetics of PF-02341066 in children with refractory cancer.

Secondary Objectives:

- To preliminarily determine the antitumor activity within the confines of a phase 1
study.

- To obtain initial Phase 2 data on the anti-tumor activity of PF-02341066 in children
with relapsed/refractory NB and ALCL.

- To examine the relationship between ALK status (e.g. presence of a mutation,
duplication, amplification, and/or translocation) in patients with NB or ALCL and
response to PF-02341066, and examine the relationship between MRD status and clinical
response to PF-02341066 in patients with ALCL.

Eligibility:

- Patients > 12 months and less than or equal to 21 years of age with histological
verification of malignancy at time of original diagnosis or relapse.

- Diagnosis:

- Phase 1 Part A1 diagnosis: relapsed or refractory solid tumors, CNS tumors or ALCL
(excluding primary cutaneous ALCL).

- Phase 1 Part A2: confirmed ALK fusion proteins, ALK mutations, or ALK
amplification.

- Phase 1 Part A3: relapsed or refractory NB not eligible for Part A1 or A2.

- Phase 2 Part B: relapsed or refractory NB.

- Phase 2 Part C: relapsed or refractory ALCL (excluding primary cutaneous ALCL).

- Current disease state must be one for which there is no known curative therapy or
therapy proven to prolong survival with acceptable quality of life.

Design:

- PF-02341066 will be administered orally twice daily continuously on a 28 day cycle.
Therapy may continue for up to 24 cycles in the absence of progressive disease or
unacceptable toxicity.

- Phase 1 Part A1 is the phase 1 dose escalation component of the trial using a rolling 6
phase 1 trial design with the starting dose at 100 mg/m(2)/dose BID.

- Phase 1 Part A2 will accrue to a separate stratum enrolled at one dose level below that
of patients in part A1, or at the starting dose level if dose escalation has not yet
occurred. Intra-patient escalation is allowed.

- Phase 1 Part A3: will accrue to a separate stratum enrolled at one dose level below
that of patients in part A1. Intra-patient escalation is allowed.

- The study includes a Phase 2 expansion (Part B and C) at the recommended dose from the
Phase 1 component of this trial to obtain preliminary efficacy data for patients with
relapsed refractory NB and ALCL. The Phase 2 component utilizes a Simon's 2 stage
design with the primary outcome being objective response using RECIST criteria.
