Neratinib and Everolimus, Palbociclib, or Trametinib in Treating Participants With Refractory and Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors With EGFR Mutation/Amplification, HER2 Mutation/Amplification, or HER3/4 Mutation or KRAS Mutation

• Status: Recruiting
• Trial end date: 2023-10-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of neratinib in combination with everolimus, palbociclib, or trametinib in participants with solid tumors with EGFR mutation/amplification, HER2 mutation/amplification, HER3/4 mutation, or KRAS mutation that do not respond to treatment (refractory) and have spread to other parts of the body (advanced or metastatic). Neratinib, palbociclib, and trametinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as everolimus, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving neratinib with everolimus, palbociclib, or trametinib may work better than neratinib alone in treating participants with solid tumors.

• Subjects must have one of the following: a. somatic mutations in human epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR, HER2, HER3, and HER4); b. EGFR gene amplification (patients with 3+ results on immunohistochemistry testing for EGFR may be allowed to enroll if gene amplification results are unavailable); c. HER2 gene amplification (patients with 3+ results on immunohistochemistry testing for HER-2 may be allowed to enroll if gene amplification results are unavailable); d. somatic mutation in KRAS (patients will be enrolled only on neratinib and trametinib combination arm).

• Subjects must have measurable disease by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version (v) 1.1.

• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) 0-1.

• Absolute neutrophil count >= 1500/mL.

• Platelets >= 100,000/mL.

• Total bilirubin =< 1.5 X ULN.

• Aspartate aminotransferase (AST/serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase [SGOT]) and/or alanine aminotransferase (ALT/serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase [SGPT]) =< 2.5 X ULN (=< 5 X ULN in subjects with liver metastases).

• Subjects must be >= 4 weeks beyond treatment with any chemotherapy or other investigational therapy to include hormonal, biological, or targeted agents; or at least 5 half-lives from hormonal, biological, or targeted agents, whichever is shorter at the time of treatment initiation.

• Women of child-bearing potential MUST have a negative serum or urine human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) test unless prior hysterectomy or menopause (defined as 12 consecutive months of amenorrhea). Subjects should not become pregnant or breastfeed while on this study. Sexually active subjects must agree to use contraception for the duration of study participation and for 4 months after the last dose of neratinib and everolimus, palbociclib or trametinib.

• Ability to understand and willingness to sign informed consent form prior to initiation of the study and any study procedures.

• Only for subjects enrolled in Arm 1 - Neratinib and everolimus: fasting lipid profile:

cholesterol less than or equal to 350 mg/dL and triglycerides less than or equal to 400 mg/dL.

• Only for subjects enrolled in Arm 1 - Neratinib and everolimus: patients who are taking medications with moderate or potent inhibitors or inducers of CYP450 3A4 should be off for 5 half-lives prior to starting everolimus.

• Only for subjects enrolled in Arm 2 - Neratinib and palbociclib: any prior neuropathy should be back to baseline or grade 1.

• Only for subjects enrolled in Arm 2 - Neratinib and palbociclib: patients who are taking medications with moderate or potent inhibitors or inducers of CYP450 3A4 should be off for 5 half-lives prior to starting palbociclib.

• Only for subjects enrolled in Arm 3 - Neratinib and trametinib: all skin rash (dermatitis acneiform, erythema, xeroderma, eczema) should be at grade 1 when starting trametinib treatment.

• Only for subjects enrolled in Arm 3 - Neratinib and trametinib: history of retinal disorder, dry eye syndrome, or blurry vision need to be evaluated by ophthalmology prior to starting treatment.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Subjects who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

• Known hepatitis B, hepatitis C or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.

• Inability or unwillingness to swallow pills.

• Active infection requiring intravenous (IV) antibiotics or other uncontrolled intercurrent illness requiring hospitalization.

• Clinically significant gastrointestinal (GI) abnormalities that may alter absorption such as malabsorption syndrome or major resection of the stomach or bowels. For example, subjects should have no more than 50% of the large intestine removed and no sign of malabsorption (e.g. gastrectomy, ileal bypass, chronic diarrhea, Crohn's disease, malabsorption, gastroparesis).

• Inability to comply with the study and follow-up procedures.

• History of cerebrovascular accident (CVA), myocardial infarction or unstable angina within the previous 6 months before starting therapy.

• Prolongation of QT/ corrected QT (QTc) interval (QTc interval > 450 ms for males or > 470 ms for females) using the Fridericia method of QTc analysis.

• Has known primary brain tumor, active central nervous system (CNS) metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis. Subjects with previously treated brain metastases may participate provided they are clinically stable with no neurological symptoms, and are not using steroids for at least 7 days prior to trial treatment. This exception does not include carcinomatous meningitis which is excluded regardless or clinical stability.

• Uncontrolled concurrent disease or illness including but not limited to: symptomatic congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association [NYHA] class III or IV) per the NYHA classification, unstable angina pectoris, clinically significant cardiac arrhythmia; unstable or untreated cardiac conditions or ejection fraction of < 50% as determined by echocardiogram (ECHO) or multiple gated acquisition scan (MUGA); diabetes mellitus (i.e. fasting blood glucose > 220 despite acceptable chronic diabetes therapy); psychiatric illness that would limit compliance with study requirements, as determined by the investigator.

• Participating in any other clinical trials using an investigational product.

• Only for subjects enrolled in Arm 1 - Neratinib and everolimus: subjects requiring therapy with immunosuppressive agents such as anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFa) agents (etanercept, adalimumab), azathioprine, methotrexate, cyclosporine, etc. for active autoimmune disorder.

• Only for subjects enrolled in Arm 1 - Neratinib and everolimus: Major surgery =< 28 days prior to treatment with everolimus.

• Only for subjects enrolled in Arm 3 - Neratinib and trametinib: albumin less than 3 Gm/dL.
