Phase I trial of lenalidomide in pediatric patients with recurrent, refractory, or progressive primary CNS tumors: Pediatric Brain Tumor Consortium study PBTC-018.

ABSTRACT: A phase I trial of lenalidomide was performed in children with recurrent, refractory, or progressive primary CNS tumors to estimate the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) and to describe the toxicity profile and pharmacokinetics.Lenalidomide was administered by mouth daily for 21 days, repeated every 28 days. The starting dose was 15 mg/m(2)/d orally, and the dose was escalated according to a modified continuous reassessment method. Correlative studies included pharmacokinetics obtained from consenting patients on course 1, day 1, and at steady-state (between days 7 and 21).Fifty-one patients (median age, 10 years; range, 2 to 21 years) were enrolled. Forty-four patients were evaluable for dose finding, and 49 patients were evaluable for toxicity. The primary toxicity was myelosuppression, but the MTD was not defined because doses up to 116 mg/m(2)/d were well-tolerated during the dose-finding period. Two objective responses were observed (one in thalamic juvenile pilocytic astrocytoma and one in optic pathway glioma) at dose levels of 88 and 116 mg/m(2)/d. Twenty-three patients, representing all dose levels, received ? six cycles of therapy. Pharmacokinetic analysis demonstrated that the lenalidomide area under the concentration-time curve from 0 to 24 hours and maximum plasma concentration increased with dosage over the range studied.Lenalidomide was tolerable in children with CNS tumors at doses of 116 mg/m(2)/d during the initial dose-finding period. The primary toxicity is myelosuppression. Antitumor activity, defined by both objective responses and long-term stable disease, was observed, primarily in patients with low-grade gliomas.

Project description:Abstract BACKGROUND Children with recurrent or progressive pediatric CNS tumors have poor prognoses. Optune delivers TTFields, an anti-mitotic FDA-approved cancer therapy, for adult patients with newly diagnosed and recurrent supratentorial GBM. Methods This multicenter trial [NCT03033992] examines the feasibility and device-related toxicity of TTFields in 20 children aged 5–21 years with recurrent supratentorial HGG and ependymoma. Secondary objectives include: response rate, event-free survival, compliance and QoL. Feasibility in this trial is defined as the ability of pediatric subjects to wear Optune ≥18 hours/day for at least 23/28 days of cycle one following a 7-day learning period. Treatment may continue up to 26 cycles based on observed benefit and safety. QOL instruments include PROMIS and Neuro-QOL. Following enrollment of the 11th evaluable subject, the study will be temporarily suspended to share interim feasibility and safety data with the FDA. RESULTS This planned interim analysis included 11 patients (7 males/4 females) with supratentorial tumors: ten HGG and one ependymoma. Median age was 14.2 (6.4–21.3) years. Ten patients were evaluable (1 Progressive Disease) during the feasibility period) and 4 remained on study through 4 cycles and one patient is currently on Cycle 14. One grade 5 intracranial hemorrhage not associated with the device and no grade IV toxicities occurred, 3 patients had seizures (grade 1–3), fatigue, scalp pain, localized rash, and headache (none greater than grade 3). Of the 10 evaluable patients, 7 satisfied the feasibility criteria for the Optune therapy, which is above the prespecified threshold of at least 6/11. CONCLUSION This is the first prospective safety and feasibility trial for Optune in children with recurrent supratentorial HGG and ependymoma. Preliminary results indicate feasibility with minimal toxicity. Accrual to the study is ongoing. An amendment is in progress adding a stratum for newly diagnosed diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) patients.

Project description:BackgroundCentral nervous system tumors remain the leading cause of cancer-related mortality amongst children with solid tumors, with medulloblastoma (MB) representing the most common pediatric brain malignancy. Despite best current therapies, patients with recurrent MB experience have an alarmingly high mortality rate and often have limited therapeutic options beyond inadequate chemotherapy or experimental clinical trials. Therefore, a systematic review of the literature regarding treatment strategies employed in recurrent pediatric MB will evaluate previous salvage therapies in order to guide future clinical trials. The aim of this systematic review will be to investigate the efficacy and safety of salvage therapies for the management of children with progressive, treatment-refractory, or recurrent MB.MethodsWe will conduct literature searches (from 1995 onwards) in MEDLINE, EMBASE, ClinicalTrials.gov, WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. Studies examining the survival and toxicity of therapies administered to treatment-refractory pediatric MB patients will be included. Two reviewers will independently assess the search results based on predefined selection criteria, complete data abstraction, and quality assessment. The primary outcomes of this review will be overall and progression-free survival. Secondary outcomes will include safety and toxicity of each therapy administered. The study methodological quality (or bias) will be appraised using an appropriate tool. Due to the nature of the research question and published literature, we expect large inter-study heterogeneity and therefore will use random effects regression analysis to extract the combined effect. In additional analyses, we will investigate the role of re-irradiation and mono- vs. poly-therapy in recurrent disease, and whether molecular subgrouping of MB influences salvage therapy.DiscussionThis systematic review will provide an overview of the current literature regarding salvage therapies for relapsed MB patients. Investigation of clinically tested therapies for children with recurrent MB has significant implications for clinical practice. By reviewing the efficacy and toxicity of MB salvage therapies, this study will identify effective therapeutic strategies administered to recurrent MB patients and can inform future clinical trials aimed to improve patient survivorship and quality of life.Systematic review registrationPROSPERO CRD42020167421.
