E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
• Stratum 1b: to determine the antitumor activity of crizotinib monotherapy at 165 mg/m2 BID in patients with relapsed/refractory ALCL with ALK rearrangements. These data will also be added to a pooled analysis with two additional studies that will be provided. • Stratum 2: to determine the RP2D of crizotinib in combination with temsirolimus in patients with relapsed/refractory RMS or NBL with ALK or MET aberrations defined as ALK or MET rearrangements, activating mutations, or ALK/MET amplification. • Stratum 3: to determine the safety and preliminary activity of crizotinib monotherapy at 280 mg/m2 BID in patients with ALK/ROS1/MET aberrant malignancies defined as either ALK rearrangements, activating mutations, amplification; MET amplification; or ROS1 rearrangements, activating mutations or amplification. Once stratum 1b is completed, patients with ALK rearranged relapsed or refractory ALCL will be eligible to enroll in stratum 3. |
