Testing Binimetinib as a Potential Targeted Treatment in Cancers With NRAS Genetic Changes (MATCH-Subprotocol Z1A)

MATCH Treatment Subprotocol Z1A: Binimetinib in Patients With Tumors (Other Than Melanoma) With NRAS Mutations

This phase II MATCH treatment trial investigates the good and bad effects of binimetinib in patients whose cancer has a genetic change called NRAS mutation. Binimetinib blocks proteins called MEK1 and MEK2, which may be needed for cancer cell growth when an NRAS mutation is present. Researchers hope to learn if binimetinib will shrink this type of cancer or stop its growth.

Study Overview

• Status: Active, not recruiting
• Conditions: Hematopoietic and Lymphoid Cell Neoplasm; Advanced Lymphoma; Advanced Malignant Solid Neoplasm; Refractory Lymphoma; Refractory Malignant Solid Neoplasm; Refractory Multiple Myeloma
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: Binimetinib

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To evaluate the proportion of patients with objective response (OR) to targeted study agent(s) in patients with advanced refractory cancers/lymphomas/multiple myeloma.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the proportion of patients alive and progression free at 6 months of treatment with targeted study agent in patients with advanced refractory cancers/lymphomas/multiple myeloma.

II. To evaluate time until death or disease progression. III. To identify potential predictive biomarkers beyond the genomic alteration by which treatment is assigned or resistance mechanisms using additional genomic, ribonucleic acid (RNA), protein and imaging-based assessment platforms.

IV. To assess whether radiomic phenotypes obtained from pre-treatment imaging and changes from pre- through post-therapy imaging can predict objective response and progression free survival and to evaluate the association between pre-treatment radiomic phenotypes and targeted gene mutation patterns of tumor biopsy specimens.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive binimetinib orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-28. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months if less than 2 years from study entry, and then every 6 months for year 3 from study entry.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Objective Response Rate (ORR)	ORR is defined as the percentage of patients whose tumors have a complete or partial response to treatment among eligible and treated patients. Objective response rate is defined consistent with Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 criteria for solid tumors, the Cheson (2014) criteria for lymphoma patients, and the Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology criteria for glioblastoma patients. For each treatment arm, 90% two-sided binomial exact confidence interval will be calculated for ORR.	Tumor assessments occurred at baseline, then every 2 cycles for the first 26 cycles and every 3 cycles thereafter until disease progression, up to 3 years post registration

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
6-Month Progression-free Survival (PFS) Rate	Progression free survival is defined as time from treatment start date to date of progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. Disease progression was evaluated using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1, the Cheson (2014) criteria for lymphoma patients, and the Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology criteria for glioblastoma patients. 6 month PFS rate was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, which can provide a point estimate for any specific time point.	Tumor assessments occurred at baseline, then every 2 cycles for the first 26 cycles, and every 3 cycles thereafter until disease progression, up to 3 years post registration, from which 6-month PFS is determined
Progression Free Survival (PFS)	Progression free survival is defined as time from treatment start date to date of progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. Disease progression was evaluated using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1, the Cheson (2014) criteria for lymphoma patients, and the Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology criteria for glioblastoma patients. Median PFS was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.	Assessed at baseline, then every 2 cycles for the first 26 cycles and every 3 cycles thereafter until disease progression, up to 3 years post registration
