A Pilot Study of a Rapid Access Platform for Investigational Drugs (RAPID) in Advanced Cancers

This pilot trial studies how well nanoparticle albumin-bound rapamycin works in treating
patients with cancer that as has spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be
cured or controlled with treatment (advanced cancer) and that has an abnormality in a protein
called mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR). Patients with this mutation are identified by
genetic testing. Patients then receive nanoparticle albumin-bound rapamycin, which may stop
the growth of cancer cells by blocking the mTOR enzyme, which is needed for cell growth and
multiplication. Using treatments that target a patient's specific mutation may be a more
effective treatment than the standard of care treatment.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To investigate efficacy of groups of patients defined by disease type, genomic aberration
and treatment regimen.

II. To assess the confirmed response rate of nanoparticle albumin-bound rapamycin
(nab-rapamycin) in mTOR aberrant advanced cancers. (Sub-protocol Arm A)

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To estimate other clinical outcomes (e.g., progression-free and overall survival) of
groups of patients defined by disease type, genomic aberration and treatment regimen.

II. To describe the adverse event profile of each regimen. III. To assess the clinical
benefit rate of nab-rapamycin in mTOR aberrant advanced cancers. (Sub-protocol Arm A).

IV. To estimate progression-free survival (specifically at 6 months) and overall survival of
these patients. (Sub-protocol Arm A) V. To estimate the adverse event profile of
nab-rapamycin. (Sub-protocol Arm A)

TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To describe patient health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and symptoms using the European
Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core
(QLQ-C)30 in groups of patients defined by disease type and/or treatment regimen and to
correlative HRQOL/symptoms with genomic markers.

II. To assess the rate of individual mTOR pathway aberrations and assess the association
between individual mTOR pathway aberrations and clinical outcome both across disease
indications and within disease indications. (Sub-protocol Arm A)

OUTLINE:

Patients receive nanoparticle albumin-bound rapamycin intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes on
days 1 and 8. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 24 weeks in the absence of disease
progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up periodically.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Histologic proof of cancer which is now not amenable to curative standard treatment
options

- Patient must have received at least 1 prior standard therapy for their disease

- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) 0, 1 or 2

- Ability to provide informed written consent

- Willing to return to enrolling institution for follow-up (active monitoring phase of
the study); Note: During the active monitoring phase of a study (i.e., active
treatment), participants must be willing to return to the consenting institution for
follow-up

- Life expectancy >= 84 days (3 months)

- Identification of a drug target/targets through molecular profiling performed as a
part of routine clinical care and treatment recommendation by the Mayo Clinic Genomics
Tumor Board (GTB); NOTE: If profile matches more than 1 treatment arm, final decision
for treatment arm assignment to be made by patients treating physician; it will be
required for the genomic aberration to be identified through a test in a Clinical
Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) workflow; assays used will range from single
gene abnormalities (e.g. fluorescent in situ hybridization [FISH] for human epidermal
growth factor receptor 2 [ERBB2] amplifications) to next generation sequencing based
gene panels (Foundation One®) to more comprehensive assays such as whole exome
sequencing; the Mayo Clinic GTB will serve as the centralized point of data synthesis
to allow for assessment of molecular profiling accomplished through a heterogeneous
array of tests

hybrid-capture-selected deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) libraries are sequenced to depths
targeting > 500 × coverage by non-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) duplicate read
pairs, with > 99% of exons at coverage > 100 ×); multiplatform profiling may include
immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization methods with previously established
negative/positive cutoffs performed in a CLIA certified lab; at least one pathway
aberration must be identified; these must be confirmed in a CLIA certified lab; the
potential mTOR aberrations that could be identified are listed below, please note that
this list is not all inclusive; if a CLIA validated report lists an mTOR pathway
inhibitor as a target drug for a genetic aberration, then it can be considered
eligible for the purposes of this study; v-akt murine thymoma viral oncogene homolog 1
