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.

Objectives

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To determine the objective response rate (ORR; complete response + partial response) in pediatric patients treated with larotrectinib sulfate (LOXO-101 [larotrectinib]) with advanced solid tumors (including central nervous system [CNS] tumors), non-Hodgkin lymphomas or histiocytic disorders harboring NTRK 1/2/3 fusions.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To estimate the progression free survival in pediatric patients treated with LOXO-101 (larotrectinib) with advanced solid tumors (including CNS tumors), non-Hodgkin lymphomas or histiocytic disorders with NTRK 1/2/3 fusions.
II. To obtain additional information about the tolerability of LOXO-101 (larotrectinib) in children with relapsed or refractory cancer.
III. To provide preliminary estimates of the pharmacokinetics of LOXO-101 (larotrectinib) in children with relapsed or refractory cancer.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE:
I. To explore approaches to profiling changes in tumor genomics over time through evaluation of circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).

OUTLINE:
Patients receive larotrectinib sulfate orally (PO) or via nasogastric (NG)- or gastric (G)-tube twice per day (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 computed tomography (CT) scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), an x-ray, bone scan, and/or iobenguane (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.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days, then periodically thereafter.

  1. 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

  5. Patients 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 time frame, 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; for agents not listed, the duration of this interval must be discussed with the study chair and the study-assigned research coordinator prior to enrollment ** >= 21 days after the last dose of cytotoxic or myelosuppressive chemotherapy (42 days if prior nitrosourea) * Anti-cancer agents not known to be myelosuppressive (e.g. not associated with reduced platelet or absolute neutrophil [ANC] counts): >= 7 days after the last dose of agent; for agents not listed, the duration of this interval must be discussed with the study chair and the study-assigned research coordinator prior to enrollment * Antibodies: >= 21 days must have elapsed from infusion of last dose of antibody, and toxicity related to prior antibody therapy must be recovered to grade =< 1 * Corticosteroids: if used to modify immune adverse events related to prior therapy, >= 14 days must have elapsed since last dose of corticosteroid * 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 growth factors 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 leukocyte 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, 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 brain metastases (BM) radiation; Note: radiation may not be delivered to “measurable disease” tumor site(s) being used to follow response to subprotocol treatment * Radiopharmaceutical therapy (e.g., radiolabeled antibody, 131I-MIBG): >= 42 days after systemically administered radiopharmaceutical therapy * Patients must not have received prior exposure to other NTRK inhibitors including but not limited to LOXO-101 (larotrectinib), entrectinib (RXDX-101), DS6051, PLX7486
