About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Ewing Sarcoma focused on measuring Ewing Sarcoma-Friend Leukemia Integration 1 Transcription factor (ESW-FLI1), Ewing Sarcoma Breakpoint Region 1-Friend Leukemia Integration 1 Transcription factor (EWSR1-FLI1), Ewing Sarcoma Erythroblast Transformation Specific Related Gene (EWS-ERG), Ewing Sarcoma Breakpoint Region 1 (EWRS1), TATA-Box-Binding Protein Associated Factor 15 (TAF15), Fused Tumors (FET), Ewing Sarcoma-Wilms' Tumor Gene 1 (EWS-WT1)

Eligibility Criteria

10 Years - undefined (Child, Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria: Age ≥ 10 years. Phase 1: Histological confirmed diagnosis of recurrent or relapsed solid tumor failing primary therapy. Patients must have a known FET fusion (fusion that contains EWSR1, FUS, or TAF15) as documented by next generation sequencing, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Patients with a histological diagnosis of Ewing sarcoma with EWS-FLI1 are eligible for dose escalation but not for the exploratory cohort. Please note patients with Ewing sarcoma and alternative FET-ETS fusions (including but not limited to EWS-ERG, EWS-ETV1, EWS-ETV4, EWS-FEV, FUS-ERG, FUS-FEV) are eligible for the exploratory cohort. Phase 2: Histologically confirmed diagnosis of recurrent or relapsed Ewing sarcoma failing primary therapy with confirmation of EWS-FLI1 fusion and breakpoint by Next generation sequencing or PCR or EWSR1 rearrangement confirmed by FISH and available tissue for central confirmation of EWS-FLI1 fusion and breakpoint. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0-2 (age ≥16 years) or Lansky of at least 60 (age <16 years).

For those subjects whose preferred and usual lifestyle employs abstinence, refraining from heterosexual intercourse must be practiced during the entire active phase of the trial. Patients ≥18 years must be willing to undergo tumor biopsy at study entry. Patients with Ewing sarcoma or DSRCT must be willing to undergo biopsy post-treatment. If biopsy is contraindicated, enrollment must be approved by study PI and archival tissue must be available. Time elapsed from previous therapy: Must be ≥ 3 weeks for systemic myelosuppressive therapy ≥ 2 weeks for local radiation therapy (small field), ≥ 150 days after thyrotropin binding inhibition (TBI), craniospinal external beam radiotherapy (XRT) or radiation to ≥50% of the pelvis ≥ 2 weeks for major surgery ≥ 2 weeks for monoclonal antibodies and oral kinase inhibitors. ≥ 6 weeks for autologous stem cell transplant. 6 months for allogeneic stem cell transplant. ≥ 6 weeks for any type of cellular therapy Patients must be recovered to baseline or Grade ≤1from the acute adverse effects of prior treatments, with the exception of alopecia and decreased deep tendon reflexes. Exclusion Criteria: Prior therapy with trabectedin or lurbinectedin. Subjects with known brain metastases. Subjects with a known bleeding diathesis. Subjects who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Concurrent therapy: Patients who are currently receiving an investigational drug or another anticancer agent Patients receiving over the counter or herbal supplement with significant potential hepatotoxicity in the opinion of the investigator. Patients receiving a medically necessary strong or moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor or inducer within 14 days prior to the first dose of study drug. Clinically significant, unrelated illness or uncontrolled infection which would, in the opinion of the treating physician, compromise the patient's ability to tolerate the investigational agents or be likely to interfere with the study procedures or results. Subjects who, in the opinion of the investigator, may not be able to comply with the safety monitoring requirements of the study, or in whom compliance is likely to be suboptimal, should be excluded. Patients with known active viral hepatitis (i.e. Hepatitis A, B, or C)

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to find out if a drug called lurbinectedin (the "study drug") is safe and effective at treating people with recurrent or relapsed solid tumors, including Ewing sarcoma.
Detailed Description
In this study, the investigators will test the activity of lurbinectedin as a targeted therapy for FET (FUS, Ewing Sarcoma Breakpoint Region 1 (EWRS1), TATA-Box-Binding Protein Associated Factor 15 (TAF15)). Ewing sarcoma is driven by the Ewing Sarcoma-Friend Leukemia Integration 1 Transcription Factor (EWS-FLI1). Lurbinectedin has been shown to inhibit EWS-FLI1 and Ewing Sarcoma-Wilms' Tumor Gene 1 (EWS-WT1) in preclinical models. Therefore, the goal of this study is to see if Lurbinectedin can be used to inhibit EWS-FLI1, EWS-WT1, or other FET fusion proteins to drive tumor responses in patients.
