Study on Ifinatamab Deruxtecan for Children with Hard-to-Treat Solid Tumors

Sponsor: Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC

Sponsor score: 40

ClinicalTrials ID:NCT07630974

This clinical trial is exploring a new treatment called Ifinatamab Deruxtecan (I-DXd) for children with solid tumors that have either returned after treatment or did not respond to previous treatments. The study aims to determine if the treatment is safe for children under 12 and if it can help shrink or eliminate their tumors.

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

Researchers are testing a new treatment for children with solid tumors that are difficult to treat. These tumors either came back after treatment (relapsed) or did not respond to treatment (refractory). Solid tumors are cancers found in organs and tissues, not in the blood. The treatment being studied is called Ifinatamab Deruxtecan (I-DXd), which is a type of medicine that targets cancer cells and delivers treatment directly to them to destroy them. The study's main goals are to see if I-DXd is safe for children under 12 and to find out how many children experience a reduction or disappearance of their cancer after receiving the treatment.

Description

The study is divided into two parts. In Part 1, researchers will focus on understanding how safe and tolerable Ifinatamab Deruxtecan (I-DXd) is for children and will determine the best dose to use in further research. In Part 2, they will expand the study to see how effective the treatment is in shrinking or eliminating tumors in more children.

Eligibility Criteria

The main inclusion criteria include but are not limited to the following:

  • In Part 1, participant has recurrent or relapsed, refractory solid tumors (excluding primary central nervous system (CNS)); and in Part 2, participant has recurrent or relapsed, refractory and histologically confirmed diagnosis of osteosarcoma (OST), neuroblastoma (NBL), rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), or Wilms tumor (WT). All participants must meet the following criteria: Has documented radiological disease progression after at least 1 line of prior therapy in the locally advanced/metastatic setting and who has no satisfactory alternative treatment option (ie, is ineligible for other standard treatment regimens).
  • Is an individual of any sex/gender, ≥1 month to <12 years of age for Part 1 and ≥1 month to <18 years for Part 2 at the time of providing the informed consent or assent, as applicable
  • Participants who have AEs due to previous anticancer therapies must have recovered to ≤Grade 1 or baseline. Participants with endocrine-related AEs who are adequately treated with hormone replacement or participants who have ≤Grade 2 neuropathy are eligible.

The main exclusion criteria include but are not limited to the following:

  • Has clinically significant corneal disease
  • Has a history of cerebrovascular accident, transient ischemic attack, or another arterial thromboembolic event within 6 months before screening
  • Has uncontrolled or significant cardiovascular disease, including conduction abnormalities, hypertension, ischemic heart disease, heart failure, and peripheral vascular disease
  • Has any history of interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis, irrespective of steroid use, except for a history of radiation pneumonitis that did not require steroids, current ILD, or Clinical or radiographic suspicion of ILD for which the diagnosis of ILD cannot be ruled out
  • Has clinically severe respiratory compromise resulting from intercurrent pulmonary illnesses
  • Has an active, known or suspected autoimmune disease.
  • Has history of solid organ transplant.
  • Has history of allogeneic stem cell transplant (SCT).
  • Has known active CNS metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis/leptomeningeal disease/spinal cord compression. Participants with untreated and asymptomatic brain metastases or previously treated brain metastases may participate provided they are radiologically stable, (i.e, without evidence of progression) for at least 4 weeks
  • Has history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
  • Has known additional malignancy that is progressing or has required active treatment within the past 1 year.
  • Has active infection requiring systemic therapy
  • Has known hypersensitivity or contraindication to either the study intervention substance or inactive ingredients in the study intervention product
  • Participants who have not adequately recovered from major surgery or have ongoing surgical complications
