Summary
Lorlatinib is a novel inhibitor across ALK variants, including those resistant to
crizotinib. In this first pediatric phase 1 trial of lorlatinib, the drug will be
utilized as a single agent and in combination with chemotherapy in patients with
relapsed/refractory neuroblastoma. The dose escalation phase of this study (Cohort A1)
uses a traditional Phase I 3+3 design. Once a recommended phase 2 pediatric dose is
identified, an expansion cohort of 6 patients (Cohort B1), within which ALKi naïve
patients will be prioritized, will be initiated. Parallel cohorts will be initiated in
adults or patients with large BSA (Cohort A2) and in combination with chemotherapy upon
establishing RP2D (Cohort B2).
