About this trial

This is an open-label, phase I-II dose-escalation and expansion study designed to define the recommended dose of brigatinib as monotherapy in pediatric and young adult patients with ALK+ ALCL, IMT or other solid tumors and to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK), (long-term) safety, and efficacy of brigatinib in these children.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Patients must be 1 and < 26 years of age at the time of enrollment, and able to swallow brigatinib tablets at the time of enrollment, with a minimum weight of 10 kg. Note: for phase 1 only patients ≤18 years old will be eligible, A liquid formulation for children with a weight lower than 10 kg or for those that cannot swallow tablets is in development.

Patients must have a confirmed diagnosis of cancer histologically at baseline. In patients where a repeat biopsy at relapse (or moment of refractory disease) is considered not feasible by the treating physician, archived material from diagnosis needs to be available for central review.

Patients are required to provide prior results showing an activating ALK aberration in the tumor per local laboratory results, and material needs to be available for central laboratory confirmation of ALK status. For ALK+ ALCL, detection of ALK with immunohistochemistry (IHC) is sufficient for inclusion, all others require molecular evidence of a ALK fusion gene or mutation by FISH, PCR or NGS. ALK detection will be confirmed centrally with FISH.

Patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) IMT must not be suitable for curative surgical resection without causing mutilation. Newly diagnosed patients with unresectable ALK+ IMT, or when surgery would imply severe mutilation may also be included, as well as metastatic disease.

Disqualifiers

Patients receiving systemic treatment with strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors or inducers within 14 days or five half-life times whichever the less prior to the first dose of study drug (refer to Section 5.2 for a list of example medications).

Diagnosis of another concurrent primary malignancy.

Myocardial infarction or unstable angina within 6 months of study entry.

History of or presence of heart block, and/or clinically significant ventricular or atrial arrhythmias.
