Who cannot join
- Pregnant or breast-feeding women will not be entered on this study due to risks of fetal and teratogenic adverse events as seen in animal/human studies. Pregnancy tests must be obtained in girls who are post-menarchal. Males or females of reproductive potential may not participate unless they have agreed to use two effective contraceptive methods for the duration of study treatment. Both female subjects and male subjects with female partners of child-bearing potential must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception for 2 weeks prior to protocol therapy, during, and at least 4 weeks after last dose of tipifarnib. In addition, since tipifarnib could induce toxicity of male reproductive organs and cause impairment of fertility, sperm cryopreservation should be recommended for male subjects wishing to preserve their fertility following tipifarnib treatment

About this study
Official title: NCI-COG Pediatric MATCH (Molecular Analysis for Therapy Choice)- Phase 2 Subprotocol of Tipifarnib in Patients With Tumors Harboring HRAS Genomic Alterations
This phase II pediatric MATCH trial studies how well tipifarnib works in treating patients with solid tumors that have recurred or spread to other places in the body (advanced), lymphoma, or histiocytic disorders, that have a genetic alteration in the gene HRAS. Tipifarnib may block the growth of cancer cells that have specific genetic changes in a gene called HRAS and may reduce tumor size.
Read the detailed description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
- To determine the objective response rate (ORR; complete response + partial response) in pediatric patients treated with tipifarnib with advanced solid tumors (including central nervous system [CNS] tumors), lymphomas or histiocytic disorders that harbor activating genetic alterations in HRAS.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
- To estimate the progression free survival in pediatric patients treated with tipifarnib with advanced solid tumors (including CNS tumors), lymphomas or histiocytic disorders that harbor activating genetic alterations in HRAS.
II. To obtain information about the tolerability of tipifarnib in children and adolescents with relapsed or refractory cancer.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
- To evaluate other biomarkers as predictors of response to tipifarnib and specifically, whether tumors that harbor different missense mutations or variant allele frequency will demonstrate differential response to tipifarnib treatment.
II. To explore approaches to profiling changes in tumor genomics over time through evaluation of circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).
OUTLINE:
Patients receive tipifarnib tablets 350 mg/m^2/dose orally (PO) or via nasogastric or gastric tube twice daily (BID) (maximum 600 mg/dose BID) with food on days 1-7 and 15-21. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 26 cycles (2 years) in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days, then periodically thereafter.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Objective Response Rate (Complete Response + Partial Response) in Pediatric Patients Treated With Tipifarnib
A responder is defined as a patient who achieves a best response of partial response or complete response on the study. Response rates will be calculated as the percent of evaluable patients who are responders, and confidence intervals will be constructed using the Wilson score interval method. The revised Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) guideline (version 1.1) was used to determine response and progression in this study, with specific criteria outlined for the different subtypes of tumors (e.g., 2-dimensional measurements for central nervous system (CNS) tumors.
Measured: Up to 2 years from study entry
Secondary outcomes (2)
Progression Free Survival (PFS)
The Kaplan-Meier method will be used to estimate the 6-month PFS. PFS is defined as time from initiation of protocol treatment to disease progression, recurrence, death from any cause, or date of last contact
Measured: Up to 6 months from study entry
Percentage of Patients Experiencing Grade 3 or Higher Adverse Events
Percentage of patients experiencing grade 3 or higher adverse events will be evaluated according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0
Measured: Up to 2 years from study entry
