Trial Information

A Phase II Study of MLN8237 (IND# 102984), a Selective Aurora A Kinase Inhibitor in Children With Recurrent/Refractory Solid Tumors and Leukemias


PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To determine the objective response rate to MLN8237 (alisertib) in children with relapsed
or refractory solid tumors and leukemias, administered once daily for 7 days every 21 days.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To further define and describe the toxicities of MLN8237 administered on this schedule.

II. To further characterize the pharmacokinetics of MLN8237 in children with refractory
cancer.

III. To evaluate aurora A kinase expression using immunohistochemistry in solid tumors and
leukemic blasts from tissue obtained at diagnosis and, if available, at relapse.

IV. To explore the relationship between polymorphic variations in the
UDP-glucuronosyltransferase gene UGT1A1 and exposure to MLN8237, and to assess 2 common
polymorphic variants in the aurora A kinase gene, Phe31Ile and Val57Ile.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to type of tumor
(measurable neuroblastoma vs neuroblastoma with metaiodobenzylguanidine [MIBG]-positive
lesions vs osteosarcoma vs Ewing sarcoma/primitive neuroectodermal tumor [PNET] vs
rhabdosarcoma vs non-rhabdomyosarcoma [RMS] soft tissue sarcoma vs hepatoblastoma vs
malignant germ cell tumor vs Wilms tumor vs acute myeloid leukemia [AML] vs acute
lymphoblastic leukemia [ALL] vs rhabdoid tumors).

Patients receive alisertib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-7. Treatment repeats every
21 days for up to 35 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Plasma samples are collected from all patients at baseline and periodically during course 1
for pharmacokinetic and other studies.

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed up for 5 years.

chromatin, subfamily b, member 1 (INI1) confirmed by immunohistochemistry,
or

INI1 immunohistochemistry is not available; note that molecular
confirmation of tumor-specific bi-allelic INI1 loss/mutation is encouraged
in cases where INI1 immunohistochemistry is equivocal

- 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: 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

- Patients must have fully recovered from the acute toxic effects of all prior
chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiotherapy prior to study enrollment

- Myelosuppressive chemotherapy:

- Solid tumors:

- Patients with solid tumors must not have received myelosuppressive
chemotherapy within 3 weeks of enrollment onto this study (6 weeks if prior
nitrosourea)

- Leukemia:

- Patients with leukemia who relapse while receiving standard maintenance
therapy will not be required to have a waiting period before enrollment
onto this study

- Patients who relapse while they are not receiving standard maintenance
therapy must have completely recovered from all acute toxic effects of
chemotherapy, immunotherapy or radiotherapy prior to study enrollment; at
least 14 days must have elapsed since the completion of cytotoxic therapy,
with the exception of hydroxyurea

- Note: cytoreduction with hydroxyurea can be initiated and continued for up
to 24 hours prior to the start of MLN8237

- At least 7 days must have elapsed since the completion of therapy with a growth
factor; at least 14 days must have elapsed after receiving pegfilgrastim

- At least 7 days must have elapsed since completion of therapy with a biologic agent;
for agents that have known adverse events occurring beyond 7 days after
administration, this period prior to enrollment must be extended beyond the time
during which adverse events are known to occur
