About this trial

This is an open-label, multi-center, Phase 1/2 study of the brain-penetrant MEK inhibitor, mirdametinib (PD-0325901), in patients with pediatric low-grade glioma (pLGG).

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Participants with histologically confirmed or suspected low-grade glioma, including neuronal and mixed neuronal-glial tumors

Participant must have adequate tumor tissue from primary and/or relapsed tumor for central pathology review

For Phase 1: Projected to be ≥ 2 years and < 25 years at the time of study enrollment

Phase 1: Dose Finding/Dose-escalation

Disqualifiers

Participants with known current retinal pathology that is consistent with or a precursor for central serous retinopathy, retinal vein occlusion (RVO), or neovascular macular degeneration

Participants with a known malabsorption syndrome or preexisting gastrointestinal conditions that may impair absorption of mirdametinib (e.g., gastric bypass, lap band, or other gastric procedures)

Participant with a known history of liver disease or known hepatic or biliary abnormalities (except for Gilbert's syndrome or asymptomatic gallstones)

Participants with a clinically significant history of chronic interstitial lung disease (such as bronchopulmonary dysplasia, chronic bronchiolitis, obliterative bronchiolitis, chronic aspiration pneumonia, surfactant protein disorder, or other serious chronic pulmonary condition). Participants with a history of asthma, reactive airways disease, or viral pneumonitis are not to be excluded if disease has resolved or is well-controlled.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Phase 1: Estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of mirdametinib dosed twice daily on a continuous schedule in pediatric patients with progressive or recurrent low-grade glioma.

The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is empirically defined as the highest dose level at which six patients have been treated with at most one patient experiencing a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and the next higher dose level determined to be too toxic. The MTD estimate will not be available if the lowest dose level studied is too toxic or the highest dose level studied is considered safe. In the latter case, the highest studied safe dose may be considered as the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D). The MTD estimation will be limited to evaluable patients and toxicity assessments from course 1 (28 days). We will require that at least 12 DLT evaluable subjects are assessed before the MTD/RP2D is declared.

Time frame
1 month after start of mirdametinib treatment
2

Phase 1: Determine the safety and tolerability of mirdametinib dosed twice daily on a continuous schedule in pediatric patients with progressive or recurrent low-grade glioma.

Incidence of adverse event data at least possibly related to treatment will be summarized in cohort specific tables by grade and attribution throughout treatment.

Time frame
Up to 25 months after start of mirdametinib treatment
3

Characterize the maximum plasma concentration and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC0-8h) of mirdametinib.

Mirdametinib plasma concentration will be provided and area under the curve (AUC0-8h) estimated based on course 1, days 1 and 15 PK samples

Time frame
Course 1: Days 1 and 15
4

Phase 2, Cohort 1: Objective response rate observed anytime during active treatment and sustained for at least 8 weeks

The response rate, defined as the rate of minor response, partial response (PR), major response, or complete response (CR) will be calculated as the percentage of confirmed responders among all response assessable patients. These rates as well as their exact confidence intervals will be provided and will be summarized by each response category (i.e., PR, major response, and CR). Subjects without an assessment will be considered non-responders.

Time frame
Up to 24 months after start of mirdametinib treatment

Secondary outcomes

1

Progression-free survival (PFS) by cohort

PFS will be measured using Kaplan Meier approaches from the date of initial treatment to the earliest date of progressive disease, death due to any cause, or date last follow-up.

Time frame
Up to 5 years after the last enrolled patient starts treatment
2

Rates of Minor Response, by cohort

Minor Response is defined as a 25-49% reduction in target lesion area relative to baseline measurements. Overall, the patient should be clinically stable or have improved on physical examination and functional or neurological assessment. Responses and duration will be measured for each cohort from the date of initial treatment to the earliest date of progressive disease, or data of last follow-up.

Time frame
Up to 5 years after the last enrolled patient starts treatment
3

Rates of Partial Response (PR), by cohort

Partial Response (PR) is defined as a 50-75% reduction in the target lesion area relative to baseline measurements. Overall, the patient should be clinically stable or have improved on physical examination and functional or neurological assessment. Responses and duration will be measured for each cohort from the date of initial treatment to the earliest date of progressive disease, or data of last follow-up.

Time frame
Up to 5 years after the last enrolled patient starts treatment
4

Rates of Major Response, by cohort

Major Response is defined as more than 75% reduction in target lesion area relative to baseline measurements. Overall, the patient should be clinically stable or have improved on physical examination and functional or neurological assessment. Responses and duration will be measured for each cohort from the date of initial treatment to the earliest date of progressive disease, or data of last follow-up.

Time frame
Up to 5 years after the last enrolled patient starts treatment
