NCT03213704

Brief Summary

This phase II Pediatric MATCH trial studies how well larotrectinib works in treating patients with solid tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or histiocytic disorders with NTRK fusions that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) and have come back (relapased) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Larotrectinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Objective Response Rate

    A responder is defined as a patient who achieves a best response of partial response or complete response on the study. Response rates will be calculated as the percent of evaluable patients who are responders. The revised Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) guideline (version 1.1) was used to determine response and progression in this study, with specific criteria outlined for the different subtypes of tumors (e.g., 2-dimensional measurements for central nervous system (CNS) tumors).

    Up to 2 years from study entry

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    Up to 6 months from study entry

  • Percentage of Patients Experiencing Grade 3 or Higher Adverse Events

    Up to 2 years from study entry

Other Outcomes (2)

  • Pharmacokinetics of Larotrectinib

    Pre-dose, 1, 2, 4, and 6-8 hours after morning dose of day 1 cycle 1 and pre-dose of day 1 cycle 2

  • Ability to Detect NTRK Fusions in Circulating Cell-free Tumor Deoxyribonucleic Acid in Plasma

    Up to 5 years

Study Arms (1)

Treatment (larotrectinib sulfate)

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients receive larotrectinib sulfate PO or via NG- or G-tube BID on days 1-28. Cycles repeat every 28 days for up to 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo a CT scan, MRI, an x-ray, bone scan, and/or MIBG scintigraphy during screening and on study. Patients also undergo bone marrow aspiration and/or biopsy during screening and may undergo blood sample collection on study.

Eligibility Criteria

Age12 Months - 21 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17), Adult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • APEC1621SC: Patient must have enrolled onto APEC1621SC and must have been given a treatment assignment to Molecular Analysis for Therapy Choice (MATCH) to APEC1621A based on the presence of an actionable mutation as defined in APEC1621SC
  • Patients must be \>= than 12 months and =\< 21 years of age at the time of study enrollment
  • Patients must have radiographically measurable disease at the time of study enrollment; patients with neuroblastoma who do not have measurable disease but have MIBG+ evaluable disease are eligible; measurable disease in patients with CNS involvement is defined as any lesion that is at minimum 10 mm in one dimension on standard MRI or CT; Note: The following do not qualify as measurable disease:
  • Malignant fluid collections (e.g., ascites, pleural effusions)
  • Bone marrow infiltration except that detected by MIBG scan for neuroblastoma
  • Lesions only detected by nuclear medicine studies (e.g., bone, gallium or positron emission tomography \[PET\] scans) except as noted for neuroblastoma
