About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study of Talazoparib (BMN 673) Plus Irinotecan With or Without Temozolomide in Children With Refractory or Recurrent Solid Malignancies

The drug, talazoparib, seems to work against cancer in test tubes and animals by preventing DNA repair in damaged cells leading to their death. Investigators do not know if talazoparib combined with irinotecan will work in humans. Talazoparib has been used in only a small number of adults and children, and there is much not yet known about it.

In Arm A of this study, investigators seek to find the safest dose of irinotecan to give with talazoparib to children and young adults. In a phase I study, different dose levels of drug may be tested. The first 2 or 3 patients will be given a dose, and if none of them has a bad side-effect, the next 2 or 3 patients will be given a higher dose. No temozolomide will be given in in Arm A.

The experimental drug combination of talazoparib and irinotecan will be tested in the hopes of finding a treatment that may be effective against recurrent or refractory solid tumors. The goals of study Arm A are:

  • To determine whether the combination of talazoparib and irinotecan is a beneficial treatment for your cancer;
  • To learn what kind of side effects talazoparib can cause;
  • To learn what kind of side effects talazoparib in combination with irinotecan can cause;
  • To learn more about the biology of talazoparib in children diagnosed with solid tumors.

The purpose of Arm B is to to find the safest doses of irinotecan and temozolomide to give with talazoparib to children and young adults with a solid malignancy.. Talazoparib belongs to a family of drugs called "poly ADP ribose polymerase or PARP inhibitors." Irinotecan and temozolomide belong to a family of drugs called "DNA damaging agents."

There are two arms of this trial, A and B. In this study, investigators hope that irinotecan (administered in Arm A) and irinotecan plus temozolomide (administered in Arm B) will damage the DNA of the cancer cells. Then, talazoparib (which is a PARP inhibitor) will block the repair of the cancer cell's damaged DNA, causing the cancer cell to die (a process called "apoptosis").

There are different types of cancers found in children and young adults which appear to be vulnerable to the combination of chemotherapy agents that will be given in this study. Work carried out in the lab show that these agents may be very promising in the treatment of ewing sarcoma, germ cell tumors, wilms tumor, medulloblastoma and possibly neuroblastoma.

Read the detailed description

In Arm A of this study, talazoparib will be administered orally on day 1 either once or twice per day depending on the dose level of the enrolled participant. Both oral talazoparib and intravenous (IV) irinotecan will then be administered daily, on days 2-6. Each cycle will last 21 days.

Once the maximum tolerated doses (MTDs) for talazoparib and irinotecan are determined, a second arm of the study (Arm B) will open administering talazoparib, irinotecan and temozolomide. Talazoparib will be given orally, on days 1-6. Intravenous irinotecan and oral temozolomide will be given on days 2-6. The study will estimate the maximum tolerated doses, describe the toxicities of therapy, estimate the response rate and characterize the pharmacokinetics of the combined talazoparib plus irinotecan with or without temozolomide.

This study is a traditional dose escalation study using a standard 3+3 phase I design. In Arm A, six or more dose levels will be evaluated for the combination of talazoparib and irinotecan. Once the MTDs of Arm A are determined, Arm B will open and evaluate the combination of talazoparib, irinotecan and temozolomide.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES - ARM A

  • To estimate the maximum tolerated doses (MTDs) of talazoparib (daily, days 1-6) combined with irinotecan (daily, days 2-6) given every 21 days in children with refractory or recurrent solid malignancies.
  • To identify and describe the dose limiting toxicities of talazoparib and irinotecan administered in combination to patients with refractory or recurrent solid malignancies.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES - ARM B

  • To estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of temozolomide (given daily, days 2-6) when combined with talazoparib (daily, days 1-6) and irinotecan (daily, days 2-6) given every 21 days in children with refractory or recurrent solid malignancies.
  • To identify and describe the dose limiting toxicities of temozolomide, talazoparib and irinotecan administered in combination to patients with refractory or recurrent solid malignancies.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES

  • To estimate the response rate, within the confines of a phase I study, to talazoparib plus irinotecan and talazoparib plus irinotecan and temozolomide administered in combination in pediatric patients with refractory or recurrent solid malignancies.
  • To characterize the pharmacokinetics of talazoparib plus irinotecan and talazoparib plus irinotecan and temozolomide when given in combination to children with refractory or recurrent solid malignancies.

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Talazoparib, Irinotecan and Temozolomide in people with Childhood Solid Tumors, run by St. Jude Children's Research Hospital at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 23 inclusion and 20 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Feb 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of talazoparib combined with irinotecan (time frame: After first cycle (21 days) therapy of patients of Arm A.). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Feb 2021; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
