This is a Phase 1 Study of Eribulin Mesylate in Pediatric Participants With Recurrent or Refractory Solid Tumors (Excluding [Central Nervous System] CNS), Including Lymphomas

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2016-01-28
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

This is a Phase 1 study of eribulin mesylate in pediatric participants with recurrent or refractory solid tumors (excluding CNS), including lymphomas. Eribulin mesylate will be administered intravenously, once per day on Days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle. This study aims to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or the Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) of this regimen in Part A1 (participants greater than or equal to [>=] 12 months and less than [<] 18 years). Part A2 will enroll infants (greater than [>] 6 months and <12 months) one dose level behind the dose level at which participants in Part A1 are enrolling, in order to maximize safety for infant participants. Additionally, this study aims to describe the toxicities and the pharmacokinetics of eribulin mesylate when administered to children. In a preliminary manner, the antitumor effect of eribulin mesylate will also be described.

• Participants with refractory or recurrent solid tumors or lymphomas, excluding CNS tumors, are eligible. Participants must have had histologic verification of malignancy at original diagnosis or relapse. Participants with primary CNS tumors, known CNS metastases, or a prior history of CNS metastases are not eligible.

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.

• Participants must have fully recovered from the acute toxic effects of all prior anticancer chemotherapy.

1. Myelosuppressive chemotherapy: At least 21 days after the last dose of myelosuppressive chemotherapy (42 days if prior nitrosourea).

For agents that have known adverse events occurring beyond 7 days after administration, this period must be extended beyond the time during which adverse events are known to occur. The duration of this interval must be discussed with the study chair.

3. Biologic (anti-neoplastic agent): At least 14 days after the last dose of a biologic agent. For agents that have known adverse events occurring beyond 14 days after administration, this period must be extended beyond the time during which adverse events are known to occur.

5. Monoclonal antibodies: At least 3 half-lives of the antibody after the last dose of a monoclonal antibody.

6. X-ray telescope (XRT): At least 14 days after local palliative XRT (small port); At least 150 days must have elapsed if prior total body irradiation(TBI), craniospinal and/or entire spinal XRT or if >=50% radiation of pelvis; At least 42 days must have elapsed if other substantial bone marrow (BM) radiation.

7. Stem Cell Infusion without TBI: No evidence of active graft versus host disease and at least 84 days must have elapsed after transplant or stem cell infusion.

• Adequate Bone Marrow Function Defined as:

1. Peripheral absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >=1000 per cubic millimeter (/mm^3).

2. Platelet count >=100,000/mm^3 (transfusion independent, defined as not receiving platelet transfusions for at least 7 days prior to enrollment).

3. Hemoglobin (Hb) at least 8 gram per deciliter (g/dL) at baseline (blood transfusions are allowed during the screening period to correct Hb values less than 8 g/dL).

All participants enrolled on the study must be evaluable for hematologic toxicity.

• Adequate Renal Function Defined as:

1. Creatinine clearance or radioisotope glomerular filtration rate (GFR) >=70 milliliter per minute (ml/min) per (/) 1.73 square meter (m^2) or

2. A serum creatinine milligram per deciliter (mg/dL) based on age/gender as follows:

1. 6 months to <1 year: male, 0.5; female, 0.5

2. 1 to < 2 years: male, 0.6; female, 0.6

3. 2 to < 6 years: male, 0.8; female, 0.8

4. 6 to < 10 years: male, 1; female, 1

5. 10 to < 13 years: male, 1.2; female, 1.2

6. 13 to < 16 years: male, 1.5; female, 1.4

7. >=16 years: male, 1.7; female, 1.4

The threshold creatinine values were derived from the Schwartz formula for estimating GFR (Schwartz et al., 1985) utilizing child length and stature data published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
