About this trial

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of ponatinib in children aged 1 to \< 18 years with advanced leukemias, lymphomas, and solid tumors.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Karnofsky performance status ≥ 40% for participants ≥ 16 years old or Lansky Play Scale ≥ 40% for pediatric participants < 16 years old.

Participants must have recovered to < Grade 2 per the NCI CTCAE v5.0 or to baseline from any non-hematologic toxicities (except alopecia) due to previous therapy.

Willingness to avoid pregnancy or fathering children.

Disqualifiers

Immunosuppressive therapy (including post stem cell transplant regimens) within 14 days before the first dose of ponatinib.

Any targeted cancer therapy (including TKIs) within 7 days before the first dose of ponatinib.

Any other investigational anticancer agents within 30 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, before randomization.

Any monoclonal antibody-directed anticancer therapy within 5 half-lives of the first dose of ponatinib.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Phase 1: Number of dose-limiting toxicities

Defined as the occurrence of any protocol-defined toxicities occurring after dosing and up to and including Day 28, except those toxicities with a clear alternative explanation.

Time frame
28 days
2

Phase 2: Efficacy of ponatinib assessed by major cytogenetic response (MCyR) in participants with chronic-phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CP-CML)

Defined as complete cytogenetic response (CCyR) or partial cytogenetic response (PCyR) as assessed by conventional cytogenetics or fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH).

Time frame
12 months
3

Phase 2: Efficacy of ponatinib assessed by major hematologic response (MaHR) or major molecular response (MMR) in participants with BCR-ABL-positive leukemias

Assessed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

Time frame
3 months
4

Phase 2: Efficacy of ponatinib assessed by complete response (CR) in participants with leukemias other than BCR-ABL-positive leukemias to determine the efficacy of ponatinib

Time frame
6 months

Secondary outcomes

1

Phase 1: Number of treatment-emergent adverse events

Time frame
6 months
2

Phase 1: Tmax of ponatinib

Time to maximum concentration.

Time frame
6 months
3

Phase 1: AUCss,0-24 of ponatinib

Area under the steady-state plasma or serum concentration-time curve from Hour 0 to 24.

Time frame
6 months
4

Phase 1: t½ of ponatinib

Apparent terminal-phase disposition half-life.

Time frame
6 months
