EXPLORATORY RESEARCH AIMS a. To describe the toxicities, pharmacokinetics, and anti-tumor activity of lorlatinib in the larger adolescent and adult population with relapsed or refractory neuroblastoma who have tumor harboring a genetic change in ALK. b. To prospectively determine the frequency of circulating tumor cell-free DNA (ctDNA) in these patients, and any other acquired mutations in plasma from peripheral blood at study entry and at each anti-tumor evaluation time point. c. To describe the heterogeneity and evolution of genetic changes in ALK and other gene changes in relapsed neuroblastoma genomes by comparing DNA from matched tumor samples (diagnosis and recurrence). d. To assess tumor burden with a test of gene-expression, prior to and during treatment with lorlatini |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
1. To determine a recommended phase 2 dose of lorlatinib administered orally to children and adolescents with relapsed or refractory neuroblastoma who have tumour containing a confirmed pathogenic ALK fusion protein, ALK mutation or ALK amplification. 2. To describe the toxicities of lorlatinib when administered to the population. 3. To characterise the pharmacokinetics of single agent lorlatinib in children and adolescents with relapsed/refractory neuroblastoma. 4. To define and describe the toxicities of lorlatinib in combination with topotecan and cyclophosamide in children and adolescents with relapsed or refractory neuroblastoma who have tumour containing a confirmed pathogenic ALK fusion protein, ALK mutation or ALK amplification administered on this schedule. 5. To characterise the pharmacokinetics of lorlatinib when combined with topetecan and cyclophosphamide in children and adolescents with relapsed/refractory neuroblastoma. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Toxicities will be reviewed and defined at each cycle with a dose reduction/stopping protocol in place for safety. Laboratory testing for both statutory and optional biology studies will be done at baseline, with each disease evaluation and then every 4 cycles of treatment. |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
To assess anti-tumor activity (within the confines of a phase 1 trial), both tumor response and event-free survival (EFS) will be measured. The tumor response (using the NANT response criteria), will be recorded for each patient and will be used to estimate the response rate of Lorlatinib as a single agent, at the RP2D, for the treatment of children with relapsed/refractory neuroblastoma harboring a confirmed ALK fusion protein, ALK mutation or ALK amplification. In addition, EFS will be calculated as the time from start of treatment with Lorlatinib until disease progression, death due to any cause or development of a second malignancy, whichever occurs first. Patients who are alive at their last follow-up without evidence of progression or development of another cancer, will be censored at that time. |
|
E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Anti-tumour activity will be assessed at baseline (as a comparator), the end of cycles 2,4,6,8 and 12. |
