Targeted Therapy Directed by Genetic Testing in Treating Patients With Advanced Refractory Solid Tumors, Lymphomas, or Multiple Myeloma (The MATCH Screening Trial)

Not Recruiting

Trial ID: NCT02465060

Purpose

This phase II MATCH trial studies how well treatment that is directed by genetic testing works in patients with solid tumors or lymphomas that have progressed following at least one line of standard treatment or for which no agreed upon treatment approach exists. Genetic tests look at the unique genetic material (genes) of patients' tumor cells. Patients with genetic abnormalities (such as mutations, amplifications, or translocations) may benefit more from treatment which targets their tumor's particular genetic abnormality. Identifying these genetic abnormalities first may help doctors plan better treatment for patients with solid tumors, lymphomas, or multiple myeloma.

Eligibility


Inclusion Criteria:

   - ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR SCREENING BIOPSY (STEP 0)

   - Patients of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 2
   weeks prior to registration; patients that are pregnant or breast feeding are
   excluded; a patient of childbearing potential is anyone, regardless of sexual
   orientation or whether they have undergone tubal ligation, who meets the following
   criteria:

      - Has achieved menarche at some point

      - Has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy; or

      - Has not been naturally postmenopausal for at least 24 consecutive months (i.e.,
      has had menses at any time in the preceding 24 consecutive months)

   - Patients must not expect to conceive or father children by using accepted and
   effective method(s) of contraception or by abstaining from sexual intercourse prior to
   study entry, for the duration of study participation, and for 4 months after
   completion of study; should a patient or partner of the patient become pregnant or
   suspect a pregnancy while participating in this study, the treating physician should
   be informed immediately

   - Patients must have histologically documented solid tumors or histologically confirmed
   diagnosis of lymphoma or multiple myeloma requiring therapy and meet one of the
   following criteria:

      - Patients must have progressed following at least one line of standard systemic
      therapy and there must not be other approval/standard therapy available that has
      been shown to prolong overall survival (i.e. in a randomized trial against
      another standard treatment or by comparison to historical controls); patients who
      cannot receive other standard therapy that has been shown to prolong overall
      survival due to medical issues will be eligible, if other eligibility criteria
      are met; if the patient is currently receiving therapy, the clinician must have
      assessed that the current therapy is no longer benefitting the patient prior to
      enrolling on MATCH, regardless of whether it is considered standard OR

      - Patients for whose disease no standard treatment exists that has been shown to
      prolong overall survival

      - NOTE: No other prior malignancy is allowed except for the following:

      - Adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer

      - In situ cervical cancer

      - Adequately treated stage I or II cancer from which the patient is currently in
      complete remission

      - Any other cancer from which the patient has been disease-free for 5 years

   - Patients must have measurable disease

   - Patients must meet the criteria below

      - Tumor tissue for the confirmation of "rare variant" by the MATCH assay is to be
      submitted, preferably from the same time of collection as that used to determine
      patient candidacy for treatment arm assignment

         - Registration to Step 0 must occur after stopping prior systemic anti-cancer
         therapy. There is no specific duration for which patients must be off
         treatment prior to registration to Step 0, as long as all eligibility
         criteria are met

         - Patients may have received other non-targeted, immunotherapy or targeted
         treatment between the prior genetic testing at the outside lab and
         registration to Step 0. The decision to stop such treatment in favor of
         participation in MATCH, if no further clinical benefit is expected, is per
         the treating physician's discretion. Documentation of a lack of response to
         the prior treatment is not required in these cases

         - Patients with an applicable "rare variant" must be able to meet the
         eligibility criteria for the appropriate subprotocols within 4 weeks
         following notification of treatment assignment

         - Patient meets one of the following criteria:

            - Patient is a candidate for Z1M based on local CLIA assessment of MMRd
            by immunohistochemistry (IHC) or MSI status by polymerase chain
            reaction (PCR), adequate tumor tissue is available for submission for
            mandatory central screening IHC and the patient will be able to meet
            the eligibility criteria for Z1M within 4 weeks following notification
            of treatment assignment OR

            - The sites have received results from one of the designated outside
            laboratories indicating a "rare variant" that is an actionable Mutation
            of Interest (aMOI) for specific select subprotocols

      - NOTE: There is no particular window of time after receiving the sequencing report
      notification of potential eligibility from an outside lab in which the patient
      must be registered to Step 0, but treatment slots will be assigned on a first
      come, first serve basis to those who do register to Step 0, and are not held for
      those notified of potential eligibility who do not register to Step 0

      - NOTE: Treatment assignment (and the start of the associated deadline for Step 1
      registration) may occur shortly after Step 0 registration. Note that certain
      "rare variant" arms require submission of archival tissue for central IHC testing
      to determine treatment assignment. For those arms, adequate tissue for the
      central IHC is required to be available for submission

      - NOTE: Other potential aMOIs that would be eligibility criteria for "NON RARE"
      arms, as determined by the designated laboratories, are not applicable for this
      process in MATCH

   - Patients must have Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status =< 1
   and a life expectancy of at least 3 months

   - Patients must be able to swallow tablets or capsules; a patient with any
   gastrointestinal disease that would impair ability to swallow, retain, or absorb drug
   is not eligible

   - Patients who are human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive are eligible if:

      - CD4+ cell count greater or equal to 250 cells/mm^3

      - If patient is on antiretroviral therapy, there must be minimal interactions or
      overlapping toxicity of the antiretroviral therapy with the experimental cancer
      treatment; for experimental cancer therapeutics with CYP3A/4 interactions,
      protease inhibitor therapy is disallowed; suggested regimens to replace protease
      inhibitor therapy include dolutegravir given with tenofovir/emtricitabine;
      raltegravir given with tenofovir and emtricitabine; once daily combinations that
      use pharmacologic boosters may not be used

      - No history of non-malignancy acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)-defining
      conditions other than historical low CD4+ cell counts

      - Probable long-term survival with HIV if cancer were not present

   - Any prior therapy, radiotherapy (except palliative radiation therapy of 30 gray [Gy]
   or less), or major surgery must have been completed >= 4 weeks prior to start of
   treatment; all adverse events due to prior therapy have resolved to a grade 1 or
   better (except alopecia and lymphopenia) by start of treatment; palliative radiation
   therapy must have been completed at least 2 weeks prior to start of treatment; the
   radiotherapy must not be to a lesion that is included as measurable disease

      - NOTE: Prostate cancer patients may continue their luteinizing hormone-releasing
      hormone (LHRH) agonist

      - NOTE: For patients entering the study via the original screening process,
      patients may receive non-protocol treatment after biopsy (if clinically
      indicated) until they receive notification of results; however, lack of response
      must be documented prior to registration to Step 1; new non-protocol treatment
      will NOT be permitted as intervening therapy after registration to Step 0; the
      only intervening treatment permitted is prior therapy that the patient already
      received prior to Step 0 registration; the decision to stop the intervening
      non-protocol treatment will be left up to the treating physician if patient has
      an aMOI; however, patients will need to be off such therapy for at least 4 weeks
      before receiving any MATCH protocol treatment

      - NOTE: For patients entering the study via a designated outside laboratory, no
      intervening systemic non-protocol treatment is permitted after Step 0
      registration; all other eligibility requirements still apply to these patients,
      including the washouts for prior therapy noted above in this section, the time
      restrictions outlined, and the eligibility criteria for the intended subprotocol

   - Patients with brain metastases or primary brain tumors must have completed treatment,
   surgery or radiation therapy >= 4 weeks prior to start of treatment

   - Patients must have discontinued steroids >= 1 week prior to registration to Step 0 and
   remain off steroids thereafter, except as permitted; patients with glioblastoma (GBM)
   must have been on stable dose of steroids, or be off steroids, for one week prior to
   registration to treatment (Step 1, 3, 5, 7)

      - NOTE: The following steroids are permitted (low dose steroid use is defined as
      prednisone 10 mg daily or less, or bioequivalent dose of other corticosteroid):

         - Temporary steroid use: e.g. for computed tomography (CT) imaging in setting
         of contrast allergy

         - Low dose steroid use for appetite

         - Chronic inhaled steroid use

         - Steroid injections for joint disease

         - Stable dose of replacement steroid for adrenal insufficiency or low doses
         for non-malignant disease

         - Topical steroid

         - Steroids required to manage toxicity related to study treatment, as
         described in the subprotocols

         - Steroids required as pre- or post-chemotherapy medication for acceptable
         intervening chemotherapy

            - NOTE: Steroids must be completed alongside last dose of chemotherapy

   - Leukocytes >= 3,000/mcL (within 2 weeks prior to screening step registration and
   within 4 weeks prior to treatment step registration)

   - Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >= 1,500/mcL (within 2 weeks prior to screening step
   registration and within 4 weeks prior to treatment step registration)

   - Platelets >= 100,000/mcL (within 2 weeks prior to screening step registration and
   within 4 weeks prior to treatment step registration)

   - NOTE: Patients with documented bone marrow involvement by lymphoma are not required to
   meet the above hematologic parameters, but must have a platelet count of at least
   75,000/mcL and neutrophil count of at least 1,000/mcL

   - Total bilirubin =< 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) (unless documented
   Gilbert's syndrome, for which bilirubin =< 3 x institutional ULN is permitted) (within
   2 weeks prior to screening step registration and within 4 weeks prior to treatment
   step registration)

   - Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase
   [SGOT])/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase [SGPT])
   =< 2.5 x institutional ULN (up to 5 times ULN in presence of liver metastases) (within
   2 weeks prior to screening step registration and within 4 weeks prior to treatment
   step registration)

   - Creatinine clearance >= 45 mL/min/1.73 m^2 for patients with creatinine levels above
   institutional ULN

      - As defined by the Cockcroft-Gault equation (within 2 weeks prior to screening
      step registration and within 4 weeks prior to treatment step registration)

   - Patients must have an electrocardiogram (ECG) within 8 weeks prior to registration to
   screening step and must meet the following cardiac criteria:

      - Resting corrected QT interval (QTc) =< 480 msec

         - NOTE: If the first recorded QTc exceeds 480 msec, two additional,
         consecutive ECGs are required and must result in a mean resting QTc =< 480
         msec; it is recommended that there are 10-minute (+/- 5 minutes) breaks
         between the ECGs

      - The following only need to be assessed if the mean QTc > 480 msec

         - Check potassium and magnesium serum levels

         - Correct any identified hypokalemia and/or hypomagnesemia and may repeat ECG
         to confirm exclusion of patient due to QTc

         - For patients with heart rate (HR) 60-100 beats per minute (bpm), no manual
         read of QTc is required

         - For patients with baseline HR < 60 or > 100 bpm, manual read of QT by
         trained personnel is required, with Fridericia correction applied to
         determine QTc

         - Patient must not have hypokalemia (value < institutional lower limit of
         normal)

      - No factors that increase the risk of QTc prolongation or risk of arrhythmic
      events such as heart failure, congenital long QT syndrome, family history of long
      QT syndrome or unexplained sudden death under 40 years of age or any concomitant
      medication known to prolong the QT interval

         - NOTE: Patient must be taken off prohibited medication prior to registration
         to the screening step (Step 0, 2, 4, 6) and remain off these medications
         thereafter, unless permitted on a subprotocol for the management of
         treatment related toxicity; patient must be off the drug for at least 5
         half-lives prior to registration to the treatment step (Step 1, 3, 5, 7);
         the medication half-life can be found in the package insert for Food and
         Drug Administration (FDA) approved drugs

   - ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR FIRST TREATMENT (STEP 1)

   - NOTE: For patients entering step 0 with assay results from outside laboratories, no
   systemic treatment is allowed after step 0 registration

   - As MATCH is designed to add additional subprotocols, implement limited expansions of
   accrual for certain subprotocols, and/or amend existing arm-specific eligibility
   criteria, some patients entering under the original screening method may be eligible
   to have their results rerun in MATCHbox, even if they did not match to a treatment
   initially or did not receive a treatment assignment due to a lack of available
   assignment slots; patients whose sequence results will be rerun through MATCHbox must
   also meet the following criteria:

      - Samples must have been collected within 5 months of the activation of the
      addendum, as there is an additional month needed to get the patients on trial

      - Patient has not had treatment within the 5 months that resulted in a PR or better
      after the performance of the screening assessment

      - Patient must meet eligibility criteria, including performance status 1 or better
      and life expectancy of at least 3 months

      - Patients must meet the eligibility requirements with the following exceptions:

         - Patients may have received other non-targeted, immunotherapy or targeted
         treatment, which could be stopped in favor of returning to MATCH, if no
         response to the interim treatment has occurred and no further benefit is
         expected from this interim treatment, per the treating physician's
         discretion; documentation of a lack of response to the interim treatment is
         not required in these cases; however, the following restrictions apply:

            - Enrollment onto another investigational therapeutic study is not
            permitted

            - Patient cannot be responding to interim treatment, since the benefit of
            the MATCH treatment is unknown and may deprive patient of an effective
            treatment if it were given when a patient is responding to another
            treatment

      - NOTE: Patients meeting these criteria will NOT be biopsied at this time point;
      instead, their step 0 results will be re-interrogated to determine if another
      treatment is available

   - ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR SECOND SCREENING (STEP 2)

   - Patient's disease has progressed on Step 1 treatment or patient could not tolerate
   assigned treatment

      - NOTE: PATIENTS ENTERING STEP 1 WITH A "RARE VARIANT" FROM AN "OUTSIDE" LAB ARE
      NOT ELIGIBLE FOR STEP 2

   - No response and progression (or inability to tolerate further treatment) occurred < 6
   months from start of step 1 treatment

      - NOTE: Patients meeting these criteria will NOT be biopsied at this time point;
      instead, their step 0 MATCH assay results will be re-interrogated to determine if
      another treatment is available upon registration to this study step; it is not
      necessary to confirm the availability of another potential treatment assignment
      in advance; only aMOIs detected by the MATCH assay may be used for the
      determination of eligibility to a relevant subprotocol OR

   - Progression (or inability to tolerate further treatment) occurred after a (1) response
   OR (2) after >= 6 months from start of step 1 treatment; patient must have tumor
   amenable to percutaneous biopsy and be willing and able to undergo a tumor biopsy or
   bone marrow aspirate for collection and submission of tumor tissue OR patient will be
   undergoing a procedure due to medical necessity during which the tissue may be
   collected for the central determination of the presence of one or more of the specific
   "actionable" mutations/amplifications of interest (aMOI); archived specimens cannot be
   accepted

   - Patients must meet eligibility criteria as defined in step 0

   - ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR SECOND TREATMENT (STEP 3)

   - NOTE: If screening biopsy samples were submitted during step 2, patients may receive
   non-protocol treatment after biopsy (if clinically indicated) until they receive
   notification of results however, lack of response must be documented prior to
   registration to step 3; new non-protocol treatment will NOT be permitted as
   intervening therapy after registration to step 2; the decision to stop the intervening
   nonprotocol treatment will be left up to the treating physician if patient has an
   aMOI; waiting periods as described will apply

   - ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR THIRD SCREENING (STEP 4)

   - Patient's disease has progressed on step 3 treatment or patient could not tolerate
   assigned treatment

      - Patient must meet one of the following criteria:

         - No response and progression (or inability to tolerate further treatment)
         occurred < 6 months from start of step 3 (second) treatment AND a biopsy was
         performed at step 2 screening

            - NOTE: Patients meeting these criteria will NOT be biopsied at this time
            point; instead, their latest MATCH assay results will be
            re-interrogated to determine if another treatment is available upon
            registration to this study step; it is not necessary to confirm the
            availability of another potential treatment assignment in advance OR

         - Progression (or inability to tolerate further treatment) occurred on step 3
         treatment and a biopsy was not performed at step 2 screening (due to
         presence of additional aMOIs at that stage); patient must have tumor
         amenable to percutaneous biopsy and be willing and able to undergo a tumor
         biopsy or bone marrow aspiration for collection and submission of tumor
         tissue OR patient will be undergoing a procedure due to medical necessity
         during which the tissue may be collected for the central determination of
         the presence of one or more of the specific "actionable"
         mutations/amplifications of interest; biopsy must not be considered to be
         more than minimal risk to the patient; archived specimens cannot be accepted

   - Patients must meet eligibility criteria as defined in step 0

      - NOTE: A patient may have a maximum of 2 screening biopsies (not including
      re-biopsy due to assay failure), and 2 MATCH treatments per biopsy (if > 1 aMOI)

   - ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR THIRD TREATMENT (STEP 5)

   - NOTE: If screening biopsy was submitted on step 4, patients may receive non-protocol
   treatment after biopsy (if clinically indicated) until they receive notification of
   results however, lack of response must be documented prior to registration to step 5;
   new non-protocol treatment will NOT be permitted as intervening therapy after
   registration to step 4; the therapy cannot be an arm in the MATCH trial; the decision
   to stop the intervening nonprotocol treatment will be left up to the treating
   physician if patient has an aMOI; waiting periods as described will apply

   - ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR FOURTH SCREENING (STEP 6)

   - Patient's disease has progressed on step 5 protocol treatment or patient could not
   tolerate assigned treatment

   - Patient must have had no response, and progression (or inability to tolerate further
   treatment) occurred < 6 months from start of step 5 treatment AND a biopsy was
   performed at step 4 screening

      - NOTE: Patients meeting these criteria will NOT be biopsied at this time point;
      instead, based on their 2nd biopsy, their results will be interrogated to
      determine if another treatment is available upon registration to this study step;
      it is not necessary to confirm the av
