A Study of Repotrectinib in Combination With Chemotherapy in Children and Young Adults With Solid Tumor Cancer
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study will test the safety of the study drug, repotrectinib, in combination with chemotherapy (irinotecan and temozolomide) in children and young adults who have advanced or metastatic solid tumors. We researchers will try to find the highest dose of the study drug that causes few or mild side effects in study participants. When the researchers find this dose, we will evaluate it in a different group of participants to find out whether repotrectinib in combination with chemotherapy is an effective treatment for children and young adults who have advanced/metastatic solid tumors. Another purpose of the study is to look at the way the body absorbs, distributes, and gets rid of repotrectinib.

Phase 1/Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
Part A : TPX-0005 (Repotrectinib) will be given orally (without regard to food) once daily for 14 days, then increased to twice daily for remainder of cycles and concurrently administered with chemotherapy backbone described below. For patients less than 12 years old or less than 50kg, adult equivalent dosing (AED) will be used Approximately 4-24 pediatric subjects will be enrolled into 2-4 dose levels (pending if DL-1 or DL-1b are utilized), with maximum of 6 subjects per dose level according to the 'rolling 6' design. Starting dose of TPX-0005 (Repotrectinib) will begin at dose level (DL) 1.
Part B (PK expansion cohort for patients <12 years old): Up to six patients <12 years old will be included in a PK expansion cohort after the maximum tolerated dose in Part A has been determined. The number of patients included in part B will be based on the the number of patients <12 years old enrolled on part A. A minimum of 6 patients <12 will be included in parts A and B combined.
Phase 2: Patients will be enrolled into one of the following 3 cohorts and will be treated at the RP2D of TPX-0005 (Repotrectinib) plus chemotherapy as determined in Phase 1.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- incidence of Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLTs) (phase I) [8 weeks following the start of treatment]
DLTs will be defined as any of the following events that are possibly, probably or definitely attributable to TPX-0005 (Repotrectinib) given in combination with chemotherapy and occurring. Grading will be evaluated according to National Cancer Institute CTCAE v5.0.
- Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) (phase I) [1 year]
MTD will be defined for TPX-0005 (Repotrectinib) in combination with chemotherapy. The MTD is the highest dose level of TPX-0005 (Repotrectinib) expected to cause a DLT in not more than 1/6 treated subjects. The dose escalation will follow a standard rolling 6 design (an algorithm-based extension of a standard 3+3 design).
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria (ALL Patients) :
-
Prior Therapy: Patients must have fully recovered from the acute toxic effects of all previous chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiotherapy prior to study enrollment. Patients must not have received the therapies indicated below for the specified time period prior to the first day of administration of protocol therapy on this study:
-
Myelosuppressive chemotherapy: Last dose was given at least 21 days before the start date for protocol therapy.
-
Biologic (anti-neoplastic agent including retinoids): Last dose given at least 7 days prior to the start date for protocol therapy.
-
Monoclonal antibodies: Last dose of any monoclonal antibodies must have received at least 7 days or 3 half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to the start date for protocol therapy.
-
Immunotherapy (ex: tumor vaccine): Patient is eligible after 42 days of completion. Steroids are excluded from inclusion in immunotherapy.
-
Radiation Therapy: Patients must not have received radiation for a minimum of two weeks prior to study enrollment for small port. If extensive bone marrow radiation, at least 42 days must have elapsed.
-
Palliative radiotherapy on study is permitted for the treatment of painful bony lesions providing the lesions were known at the time of study entry and the Investigator clearly indicates that the need for palliative radiotherapy is not indicative of disease progression. In view of the current lack of data about the interaction of repotrectinib with radiotherapy, repotrectinib treatment should be interrupted during palliative radiotherapy, stopping 1 day before palliative radiotherapy and resuming treatment 1 day after completion of palliative radiotherapy and recovery from any acute radiation toxicities to baseline.
-
Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT): Patients are eligible 12 weeks after date of autologous hematopoietic stem cell infusion following myeloablative therapy (timed from first day of this protocol therapy). Patients who have received an autologous hematopoietic stem cell infusion to support non- myeloablative therapy (such as ^131 I-MIBG) are eligible at any time as long as they meet the other criteria for eligibility.
-
^131 I-MIBG therapy: A minimum of 6 weeks must have elapsed after ^131 I-MIBG therapy prior to start of protocol therapy.

-
Any investigational agent or anticancer therapy other than chemotherapy and not otherwise noted: Not within 2 weeks prior to planned start of TPX-0005 (Repotrectinib) or 5 half-lives, whichever is shorter. Full recovery of clinically significant toxicities from that therapy must be evident.
