Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Agent PD-0325901

Arm Description

The primary aim of the study will be to assess quantitative radiographic response in a target lesion. Subjects will receive PD-0325901 by mouth on a bid dosing schedule of 2 mg/m2/dose with a maximum dose of 4 mg bid. Each course is 4 weeks duration, and subjects will receive drug on a 3 week on/1 week off schedule. Subjects may receive additional courses beyond course 8 only if there is at least 15% reduction in volume of the target tumor. Subjects who have a 20% or greater reduction in target tumor volume at the end of 12 courses can continue on therapy for up to an additional year (maximum of 24 total courses). However, subjects who do not achieve at least 15% reduction in volume of the target tumor after 8 courses (~8 months) will be considered treatment failures and taken off study.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Percent of Participants With a 20% or More Change in Target Tumor Volume
Response is assessed by the NCI-POB at the time that follow-up 3D-MRI scans are performed (after course 4, 8, 12, and then after completion of every 6 courses thereafter). For the purpose of determining the level of response (complete, partial, etc.) measurements from the follow-up scans are compared to the target lesion size in the pretreatment MRI scan using 3D data analysis.Complete Response (CR): A complete resolution of the target plexiform neurofibroma for ≥ 4 weeks Partial Response (PR): A ≥20% reduction in the volume of the target plexiform neurofibroma lesion for ≥4 weeks. Stable Disease (SD): A <20% increase, and < 20% decrease in the volume of the target plexiform neurofibroma lesion for ≥4 weeks. Progressive Disease (PD): A ≥ 20% increase in the volume (by 3D-MRI) of the target plexiform neurofibroma compared to the pretreatment volume..

Secondary Outcome Measures

Evaluable Participants Treated With PD-0325901
Number of Evaluable Patients at 24 Months: Any subject with ≥ one dose of PD-0325901 and had a ≥ Grade 3 associated toxicity is evaluable for toxicity. In the absence of a ≥ Grade 3 toxicity, any subject who completed one full course of therapy is evaluable for toxicity. Evaluable For Response - Subjects who have completed at least two courses of therapy and have had their first follow-up MRI evaluation. Subjects who did not respond and are later found to have a target tumor other than a plexiform neurofibroma (e.g. malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor) are not evaluable for response. Evaluable for Pharmacokinetics - Any subject who has at least 4 samples drawn for pharmacokinetics is evaluable for pharmacokinetics. Evaluable for Pharmacodynamics - Any subject who has a dermal neurofibroma biopsy for pharmacodynamics prior to starting therapy plus at least one other dermal neurofibroma biopsy is evaluable for

Quality of Life Using the Pain Subscale of the NRS-11 and PedsQL™ NF1 for Subjects Receiving PD-0325901 Using Age-based Assessments
The PedsQL™ NF1 Module asks how much of a problem each item has been during the past one month. A 5-point response scale: 0= never a problem...4= almost always a problem). Items are reverse scored and linearly transformed to a scale of 0-100 Higher scores = better HRQOL. The total scale score is the sum of items divided by the number answered. Subscale scores are computed similarly. If more than 50% of the items in the scale are missing, the scale score is not computed. The Numerical Rating Scale-11 (NRS-11) is a self-report segmented 11-point numeric scale that assesses pain intensity with 0 representing "no pain" at the right end of the line and 10 representing "worst pain you can imagine". The Brief Pain Inventory (BPI)-Pain Interference Scale is a 7-item self-report questionnaire asking (general activity, mood, walking, normal work, relations with other people, sleep, and enjoyment of life) in the past week with 0 = no interference and 10 = completely interferes.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This phase II open label study will evaluate adolescents (≥ 16 years of age) and adults with neurofibromatosis type-1 (NF1) and plexiform neurofibromas treated with the MEK inhibitor PD-0325901. The primary aim of the study will be to assess quantitative radiographic response in a target lesion. Subjects will receive PD-0325901 by mouth on a bid dosing schedule of 2 mg/m2/dose with a maximum dose of 4 mg bid. Each course is 4 weeks duration, and subjects will receive drug on a 3 week on/1 week off schedule. Subjects may receive additional courses beyond course 8 only if there is at least 15% reduction in volume of the target tumor. Subjects who have a 20% or greater reduction in target tumor volume at the end of 12 courses can continue on therapy for up to an additional year (maximum of 24 total courses). However, subjects who do not achieve at least 15% reduction in volume of the target tumor after 8 courses (~8 months) will be considered treatment failures and taken off study. The Primary purpose of this protocol is to determine whether PD-0325901 results in objective radiographic responses based on volumetric MRI measurements in adolescents and adults with NF1 and growing or symptomatic inoperable PN. There are several secondary aims of this protocol: To evaluate the feasibility and toxicity of chronic PD-0325901 administration in this patient population To estimate the objective response rate of up to 2 non-target plexiform neurofibromas to PD-0325901 by MRI To characterize the pharmacokinetic profile of PD-0325901 when administered to this patient population To evaluate quality of life and pain during treatment with PD-0325901
Detailed Description
This phase II open label study will evaluate adolescents (≥ 16 years of age) and adults with neurofibromatosis type-1 (NF1) and plexiform neurofibromas treated with the MEK inhibitor PD-0325901. The primary aim of the study will be to assess quantitative radiographic response in a target lesion. Subjects will receive PD-0325901 by mouth on a bid dosing schedule of 2 mg/m2/dose with a maximum dose of 4 mg bid. Each course is 4 weeks duration, and subjects will receive drug on a 3 week on/1 week off schedule. Subjects may receive additional courses beyond course 8 only if there is at least 15% reduction in volume of the target tumor. Subjects who have a 20% or greater reduction in target tumor volume at the end of 12 courses can continue on therapy for up to an additional year (maximum of 24 total courses). However, subjects who do not achieve at least 15% reduction in volume of the target tumor after 8 courses (~8 months) will be considered treatment failures and taken off study. Subjects will have retinal screening performed before starting PD-0325901 and regularly while on study drug. Patients with glaucoma, intraocular pressure >21 mmHg, or any other significant abnormality (excluding chronic, stable ophthalmological findings secondary to Optic Pathway Glioma) on ophthalmic examination (performed by an ophthalmologist) will not be eligible. Patients who have received radiation or cytotoxic therapy within 4 weeks of study entry and patients who have received radiation to the orbit at any time previously, will not be eligible for the study. Patients with other concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled medical disease will also be excluded. In addition, pregnant women will not be eligible for enrollment and subjects of reproductive age will be required to practice birth control while on treatment. Subjects entered on the trial will be carefully monitored for the development of PD-0325901 associated toxicities. In all consenting subjects entered on this trial, a complete pharmacokinetic profile of PD-0325901 after administration will be evaluated during course 1. Involvement with this part of the study will be required. Consenting subjects with dermal neurofibromas will have punch biopsies of dermal neurofibromas at two time points to determine if the PD-0325901 is affecting the biologic target. Involvement with this part of the study will be optional. Since plexiform neurofibromas may significantly impact the lives of patients with NF1, this study will evaluate the effects of the disease and treatment with PD-0325901 on the quality of life (QOL) of adolescents and adults. Involvement in this part of the study will be required. The Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) Neurofibromatosis Type 1 Module will be used to assess the QOL of subjects. The PedsQL NF1 Module is a self-reported disease-specific QOL scale developed for adolescents and adults with NF1. It assesses 16 domains of functioning including physical functioning, emotional functioning, social functioning, cognitive functioning, physical appearance, worry, pain and hurt, fatigue, and daily activities. Preliminary data collected on this scale indicates good reliability and validity in adults. The preliminary data in a small sample of adolescents also looks promising. Data collected from this trial may be used toward validating this instrument since no disease specific QOL measure for NF1 currently exists, but such a tool is critically needed. Pain will be assessed using the Numeric Rating Scale-11 (NRS-11), which is an 11-point self-report scale of pain intensity. In addition, the Brief Pain Inventory Pain Interference Scale is a 7-item self-report questionnaire that measures the extent to which pain interferes with daily functioning. Both of these brief measures have been recommended to assess different aspects of pain in clinical trials. For subjects who respond to PD-0325901 (≥20% tumor volume reduction of target lesion by 12 courses), an MRI scan of the target lesion is requested (but not required) at 4 and 12 months after stopping drug (as long as the subject is still on protocol) in order to determine whether response is maintained post-therapy. These studies will not be requested from subjects who experience disease progression while on study drug. Before the subject can be enrolled, the responsible institutional investigator must sign and date the completed eligibility checklist. The completed eligibility checklist should be faxed to the NF Operations Center to confirm eligibility prior to subject enrollment.
