Brief Summary

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of pevonedistat when given together with irinotecan hydrochloride and temozolomide in treating patients with solid tumors, central nervous system (CNS) tumors, or lymphoma that have come back after a period of improvement (recurrent) or that do not respond to treatment (refractory). Pevonedistat and irinotecan may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving pevonedistat, irinotecan hydrochloride, and temozolomide may work better in treating patients with solid tumors, central nervous system (CNS) tumors, or lymphoma compared to irinotecan and temozolomide alone.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

To estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of pevonedistat administered as an intravenous infusion on days 1, 8, 10, and 12 of a 28-day cycle (cycle 1), and on days 1, 3, and 5 of a 21-day cycle (cycle 2 and beyond) in combination with irinotecan (administered as an intravenous infusion on days 8-12 of cycle 1 and days 1-5 of cycles 2+) and temozolomide (administered orally on days 8-12 in cycle 1 and days 1-5 of cycles 2+) in children with recurrent or refractory solid tumors, including central nervous system (CNS) tumors and lymphoma.
To define and describe the toxicities of pevonedistat administered on this schedule.
To characterize the pharmacokinetics of pevonedistat in children with recurrent or refractory cancer.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

To preliminarily define the antitumor activity of pevonedistat within the confines of a phase 1 study.
To assess the biologic activity of pevonedistat.

OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation study of pevonedistat.

Patients receive pevonedistat intravenously (IV) over 60 minutes on days 1, 8, 10, and 12, temozolomide orally (PO) daily on days 8-12, and irinotecan IV over 90 minutes on days 8-12 of cycle 1. Beginning cycle 2, patients receive pevonedistat IV over 60 minutes on days 1, 3, and 5, temozolomide PO daily on days 1-5, and irinotecan IV over 90 minutes on days 1-5. Treatment repeats every 28 days for cycle 1 and 21 days for subsequent cycles for up to 17 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

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