NCT03834961

Brief Summary

This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well larotrectinib works in treating patients with previously untreated TRK fusion solid tumors and TRK fusion acute leukemia that has come back. Larotrectinib may stop the growth of cancer cells with TRK fusions by blocking the TRK enzymes needed for cell growth.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Objective Response Rate (ORR) of Children With Infantile Fibrosarcoma (IFS) Treated With Neoadjuvant Larotrectinib Prior to Local Control

    A responder is defined as a patient who achieves a best response of partial response (PR) or complete response (CR) on the study. Response rates will be calculated as the percent of evaluable patients who are responders, and confidence intervals will be constructed accounting for the two-stage design.

    Up to 5 years

Secondary Outcomes (9)

  • Event-free Survival (EFS) of Children With IFS Treated With Neoadjuvant Larotrectinib Prior to Local Control

    Up to 1 year

  • Overall Survival (OS) of Children With IFS Treated With Neoadjuvant Larotrectinib Prior to Local Control

    Up to 1 year

  • Duration of Response (DoR) of Children With IFS Treated With Neoadjuvant Larotrectinib Prior to Local Control

    Up to 5 years

  • ORR of Children and Adults With Newly Diagnosed TRK Fusion Solid Tumors Other Than IFS Treated With Neoadjuvant Larotrectinib Prior to Local Control

    Up to 5 years

  • EFS of Children and Adults With Newly Diagnosed TRK Fusion Solid Tumors Other Than IFS Treated With Neoadjuvant Larotrectinib Prior to Local Control

    Up to 1 year

  • +4 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (1)

Treatment (larotrectinib)

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients receive larotrectinib PO or by NG or G-tube BID on days 1-28. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 26 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, or complete surgical resection of tumor.

Drug: Larotrectinib Sulfate

Eligibility Criteria

AgeUp to 30 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17), Adult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients must be =\< 30 years of age at the time of study entry
  • COHORT A: Patients must have a histologic diagnosis of infantile fibrosarcoma with an NTRK1, NTRK2, or NTRK3 fusion identified in a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act/College of American Pathologists (CLIA/CAP) certified laboratory. Fusions may be identified by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) or molecular techniques (reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction \[RT-PCR\] using primers flanking the fusion junction or next generation sequencing). For fusions identified by FISH, an ETV6 rearrangement is sufficient for eligibility in Cohort A. Identification of the upstream TRK fusion partner is not required.
  • COHORT B: Patients must have a histologic diagnosis of any solid tumor other than infantile fibrosarcoma, including central nervous system (CNS) tumors but excluding high grade gliomas. An NTRK1, NTRK2, or NTRK3 fusion must be identified in a CLIA/CAP certified laboratory. Fusions may be identified by FISH or molecular techniques (RT-PCR using primers flanking the fusion junction or next generation sequencing). For fusions identified by FISH, there must be an identified rearrangement in NTRK1, NTRK2, or NTRK3 (e.g., an ETV6 rearrangement is not sufficient for eligibility) unless the patient has a diagnosis of congenital mesoblastic nephroma in which case an ETV6 rearrangement is sufficient for eligibility. Identification of the upstream TRK fusion partner is not required.
  • COHORT C: Patients must have a histologic diagnosis of relapsed or refractory acute leukemia with an NTRK1, NTRK2, or NTRK3 fusion identified in a CLIA/CAP certified laboratory. Fusions may be identified by FISH or molecular techniques (RT-PCR using primers flanking the fusion junction or next generation sequencing). For fusions identified by FISH, there must be an identified rearrangement in NTRK1, NTRK2, or NTRK3 (e.g., an ETV6 rearrangement is not sufficient for eligibility). Identification of the upstream TRK fusion partner is not required.
  • SOLID TUMORS (COHORTS A AND B): Patients must have measurable disease. Patients must have disease that cannot be completely resected without a predicted functional, neurologic, or significant cosmetic deficit in the opinion of the investigator.
  • LEUKEMIA (COHORT C): Patients must have \>= 5% blasts in the bone marrow. Extramedullary disease is permitted.
  • Patients must have a Lansky or Karnofsky performance status score of \>= 50, corresponding to Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) categories 0, 1 or 2. Use Karnofsky for patients \> 16 years of age and Lansky for patients =\< 16 years of age. NOTE: Neurologic deficits in patients with CNS tumors must have been stable for at least 7 days prior to study enrollment. Patients who are unable to walk because of paralysis, but who are up in a wheelchair, will be considered ambulatory for the purpose of assessing the performance score.
  • COHORTS A AND B: No prior anti-cancer therapy, including radiotherapy, other than surgical resection is permitted.
  • Patients who experience recurrence after surgery alone and no other anti-cancer therapy will be eligible.
  • If not eligible due to prior anticancer therapy, patients may be eligible for the larotrectinib arm of Pediatric MATCH (APEC1621A) or treatment with commercial larotrectinib off study.
  • COHORT C: Patients with relapsed leukemia (Cohort C) must have fully recovered from the acute toxic effects of all prior anti-cancer therapy and must meet the following minimum duration from prior anti-cancer directed therapy prior to enrollment. If after the required timeframe, the numerical eligibility criteria are met, e.g. blood count criteria, the patient is considered to have recovered adequately.
  • Cytotoxic chemotherapy or other anti-cancer agents known to be myelosuppressive.
  • A waiting period prior to enrollment is not required for patients receiving standard cytotoxic maintenance chemotherapy (i.e., corticosteroid, vincristine, thioguanine \[6MP\], and/or methotrexate).
  • A waiting period is not required for patients receiving a single dose of intrathecal methotrexate, hydrocortisone, and/or cytarabine within 7 days prior to enrollment.
  • \>= 14 days must have elapsed after the completion of other cytotoxic therapy, with the exception of hydroxyurea, for patients not receiving standard maintenance therapy. Additionally, patients must have fully recovered from all acute toxic effects of prior therapy.
  • +2 more criteria

You may not qualify if:

  • Corticosteroids: If used to modify immune adverse events related to prior therapy, \>= 14 days must have elapsed since last dose of corticosteroid. A waiting period prior to enrollment is not required for patients receiving corticosteroid for leukemia therapy/cytoreduction.
  • Hematopoietic growth factors: \>= 14 days after the last dose of a long-acting growth factor (e.g. pegfilgrastim) or 7 days for short-acting growth factor. For agents that have known adverse events occurring beyond 7 days after administration, this period must be extended beyond the time during which adverse events are known to occur. The duration of this interval must be discussed with the study chair and the study-assigned research coordinator.
  • Interleukins, interferons and cytokines (other than hematopoietic growth factors): \>= 21 days after the completion of interleukins, interferon or cytokines (other than hematopoietic growth factors ).
  • Stem cell infusions (with or without total body irradiation \[TBI\]):
  • Allogeneic (non-autologous) bone marrow or stem cell transplant, or any stem cell infusion including donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) or boost infusion: \>= 84 days after infusion and no evidence of graft versus host disease (GVHD).
  • Autologous stem cell infusion including boost infusion: \>= 42 days.
  • Cellular therapy: \>= 42 days after the completion of any type of cellular therapy (e.g., modified T cells, natural killer \[NK\] cells, dendritic cells, etc.)
  • Radiation therapy (XRT)/external beam irradiation including protons: \>= 14 days after local XRT; \>= 150 days after TBI, craniospinal XRT or if radiation to \>= 50% of the pelvis; \>= 42 days if other substantial BM radiation.
  • Radiopharmaceutical therapy (e.g., radiolabeled antibody): \>= 42 days after systemically administered radiopharmaceutical therapy.
  • Patients must not have received prior exposure to TRK inhibitors (including larotrectinib, LOXO-195, entrectinib, lorlatinib, crizotinib, or lestaurtinib).
  • For patients with solid tumors without known bone marrow involvement: Peripheral absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \>= 1000/mm\^3 (within 7 days prior to enrollment).
  • For patients with solid tumors without known bone marrow involvement: Platelet count \>= 100,000/mm\^3 (transfusion independent, defined as not receiving platelet transfusions for at least 7 days prior to enrollment).
  • For patients with solid tumors without known bone marrow involvement: Hemoglobin \>= 8.0 g/dL at baseline (within 7 days prior to enrollment) (may receive red blood cell \[RBC\] transfusions).
  • Patients with solid tumors with known bone marrow metastatic disease will be eligible for study provided they meet the blood counts above (may receive transfusions provided they are not known to be refractory to red cell or platelet transfusions). These patients will not be evaluable for hematologic toxicity.
  • For patients with leukemia: Platelet count \>= 20,000/mm\^3 (within 7 days prior to enrollment) (may receive platelet transfusions; must not be known to be refractory to red cell or platelet transfusion).
