E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Has histologically or cytologically documented relapsed, or refractory pediatric solid malignancy excluding osteosarcoma. Participants with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma, optic pathway glioma, or pineal tumors with elevated tumor markers do not require histological or cytological confirmation of diagnosis. Participants with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma are not eligible for the HGG cohort and should only be enrolled in the other solid tumors cohort.
2. Has measurable disease as defined by RECIST 1.1 or RANO for HGG, meeting the criteria below:
- All tumor types except HGG and neuroblastoma: At least 1 lesion measuring ≥1.0 cm in the longest diameter for a non-lymph node or ≥1.5 cm in the short-axis diameter for a lymph node that is reproducibly measurable on CT or MRI scans.
- HGG: At least 1 contrast-enhancing lesion with clearly defined margins on T1-weighted MRI scan, measuring ≥1.0 cm in 2 perpendicular diameters, and visible on at least 2 axial slices.
- Participants with neuroblastoma who do not have measurable disease per RECIST 1.1 but have MIBG-positive evaluable disease may be enrolled.
- Tumor lesions situated in a previously irradiated area or in an area subjected to other locoregional therapy are considered measurable only if progression has been observed in such lesions since the completion of therapy.
3. Has a performance status as defined below:
- Lansky Play Score ≥50 for participants ≥ 16 years of age.
- KPS ≥50 for participants >16 years of age.
- Neurologic deficits in participants with primary CNS tumors must have been stable for at least 7 days prior to study enrollment. Participants who are unable to walk because of paralysis, but who are up in a wheelchair, will be considered ambulatory for the purpose of assessing the performance score.
4. Demonstrate adequate organ function as defined in the protocol.
5. Urine dipstick <2+ for proteinuria. Participants who have ≥2+ proteinuria on dipstick urinalysis should undergo a spot P/C ratio that should be Grade <2 per CTCAE v5.0, and if possible, perform a 24-hour urine collection.
6. No clinical evidence of nephrotic syndrome.
7. Has adequate BP control with or without antihypertensive medications, as described in the protocol.
8. Has adequate cardiac function, as described in the protocol.
9. Has adequate neurologic function:
- Participants with seizure disorder may be enrolled if on anticonvulsants and seizure disorder is well controlled.
10. Participant must have fully recovered to CTCAE v5.0 Grade ≤1 (except for alopecia, ototoxicity, and Grade ≤2 peripheral neuropathy) from the acute toxic effects of all prior anticancer therapy and must meet the minimum duration from prior anticancer-directed therapy prior to enrollment, as described in the protocol. If after the required timeframe, the numerical eligibility criteria are met, eg, blood count criteria, the participant is considered to have recovered adequately.
11. Male or female ≥2 years to ≤ 18 years of age (≤21 years for EWS/pPNET), on the day the main informed consent/assent is signed.
12. Male participants are eligible to participate if they agree to the following during the intervention period and for at least 30 days after the last dose of study intervention:
- Be abstinent from heterosexual intercourse as their preferred and usual lifestyle and agree to remain abstinent
OR
- Must agree to use contraception unless confirmed to be azoospermic as detailed below:
Agree to use a male condom plus partner use of an additional contraceptive method when having penile-vaginal intercourse with a WOCBP who is not currently pregnant. Contraceptive use by women should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies.
13. A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant or breastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies:
- Is not a WOCBP
OR
- Is a WOCBP and using a contraceptive method that is highly effective, as described in the protocol during the intervention period and for at least 30 days post lenvatinib.
- A WOCBP must have a negative highly sensitive pregnancy test ([urine or serum] as required by local regulations) within 24 hours before the first dose of study intervention.
- If a urine test cannot be confirmed as negative, a serum pregnancy test is required. In such cases, the participant must be excluded from participation if the serum pregnancy result is positive.
14. Be willing and able to provide (and/or their parents or legal guardians) written informed consent/assent for the study. Written informed consent required from participants ≥18 years.
15. Willing and able to comply with the protocol, scheduled follow-up, and management of toxicity as judged by the investigator. |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Is a WOCBP who has a positive urine pregnancy test within 24 hours before the first dose of study intervention. If the urine test cannot be confirmed as negative, a serum pregnancy test is required. In such cases, the participant must be excluded from participation if the serum pregnancy result is positive.
2. Has had major surgery within 3 weeks prior to C1D1.
3. Has GI bleeding or active hemoptysis (bright red blood of at least half teaspoon) within 21 days prior to enrollment.
4. Has CNS tumors with a history of symptomatic tumor hemorrhage.
5. Has evidence of new intracranial hemorrhage of more than punctate size on MRI assessment obtained within 28 days prior to study enrollment.
6. Has radiographic evidence of encasement or invasion of a major blood vessel or of intratumoral cavitation.
7. Has evidence of untreated CNS metastases (exception: participants with primary CNS tumors and leptomeningeal disease).
8. Has GI malabsorption, GI anastomosis, or any other condition that in the opinion of the investigator might affect the absorption of lenvatinib.
9. Has preexisting ≥Grade 3 GI or non-GI fistula.
10. Has any active infection requiring systemic therapy.
11. A clinically significant ECG abnormality, including a marked baseline prolonged QT or QTc interval (eg, a repeated demonstration of a QTc interval >480 msec).
12. Known to be HIV positive.
13. Active viral hepatitis (B or C) as demonstrated by positive serology.
14. Is currently participating and receiving study therapy, or has participated in a study of an investigational agent and received study therapy or used an investigational device within 4 weeks of the date of allocation.
15. Has a history or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality that might confound the results of the study, interfere with the participant’s participation for the full duration of the study, or is not in the best interest of the participant to participate, in the opinion of the treating investigator.
16. Has known hypersensitivity to any component of the investigational product (lenvatinib or ingredients).
17. Has known psychiatric or substance abuse disorders that would interfere with cooperation with the requirements of the study.
