Safety and Dose Finding Study of Neratinib in Children and Young Adults With Cancer That Has Returned or Not Responded to Treatment
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to test the safety of neratinib at different dose levels and to find out what effects, good and bad, it has on the patients and the cancer.

Study Design
Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: Neratinib There are 2 parts to this study: a Phase I part and a Phase II part. The Phase I portion is known as the dose escalation phase where neratinib will be tested in groups of 3-6 patients to establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). The phase II portion will determine whether the MTD shows a response to the tumor. |
Drug: Neratinib
Neratinib will be administered orally, or through existing gastrostomy feeding tube, once a day with food, preferably in the morning, continuously for 28-day cycles, with no rest between cycles. Dose will be scaled by body surface area (BSA).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- the number of patients who have experienced Dose Limiting Toxicity [1 year]
NCI CTCAE Version 4.0.Definition of Hematologic Dose-Limiting Toxicity (solid tumor cohort only) Any hematologic toxicity as indicated: Febrile neutropenia defined as Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia with fever ≥ 38.5°C and /or infection requiring antibiotic or antifungal treatment Grade 4 neutropenia lasting > 7 days Grade 4 thrombocytopenia lasting > 7days Any drug-related adverse experience, regardless of grade, leading to a dose reduction of a study drug. Non-Hematologic Dose-Limiting Toxicities: Non-hematologic dose-limiting toxicity will be defined as any Grade 3, 4 or 5 nonhematologic toxicity with the specific exception of: Any grade diarrhea that occurs in the setting of poor compliance with supportive measures that last for < 48 hours Any grade dehydration related to diarrhea that occurs in the setting of inadequate compliance to supportive care measures that last for < 48 hours.
