Testing JNJ-42756493 (Erdafitinib) as Potentially Targeting Treatment in Cancers With FGFR Mutations or Fusions (MATCH - Subprotocol K2)

MATCH Treatment Subprotocol K2: Phase 2 Study of Erdafitinib (JNJ-42756493) in Patients With Tumors With FGFR Mutations or Fusions

This phase II MATCH treatment trial tests how well erdafitinib (JNJ-42756493) works in treating patients with tumors that have FGFR mutations or fusions. Erdafitinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of an abnormal FGFR protein that signals cancer cells to multiply. This may help keep cancer cells from growing and may kill them.

Study Overview

• Status: Active, not recruiting
• Conditions: Malignant Solid Neoplasm
• Intervention / Treatment: Procedure: Magnetic Resonance Imaging; Procedure: Computed Tomography; Procedure: Biospecimen Collection; Drug: Erdafitinib; Procedure: Biopsy Procedure

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 erdafitinib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-28. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Additionally, patients undergo blood sample collection, computed tomography (CT), or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and tumor biopsy throughout the study. (CLOSED TO ACCRUAL 02/25/2022)

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for 1 year.

• Patients with current evidence of corneal or retinal disorder/keratopathy are excluded

• Patients must not be currently using medications that can elevate serum phosphorous and/or calcium levels

  • Medications that increase serum calcium should be avoided. Over the counter calcium supplements, antacids that contain calcium (Tums) and Vitamin D supplements (cholecalciferol and ergocalciferol) should be avoided. Prescription medications including lithium, hydrochlorothiazide and chlorthalidone must be used with caution
  • Medications that increase serum phosphate should be avoided. Over the counter laxatives that contain phosphate such as Fleets Oral or Fleets enema and Miralax should be avoided
• Patients with a history of hyperphosphatemia will be excluded
• Patients may not have received strong inhibitors or potent inducers of CYP3A within 2 weeks before the first dose of study treatment. Patients with inability to discontinue treatment with a strong CYP3A4 and/or CYP2C9 inhibitor or inducer prior to start of treatment are excluded
• Patients who have previously received treatment with a FGFR targeted inhibitor are excluded. Such inhibitors include AZD4547, BGJ398, BAY1163877 and LY2874455). Prior non-selective FGFR inhibitor treatment (e.g. Pazopanib, dovitinib, ponatinib, brivanib, lucitanib, lenvatinib) are allowed
• Patients must not have any history of or current evidence of renal or endocrine alterations of calcium/phosphate homeostasis, or history of or current evidence of extensive tissue calcification (by evaluation of the clinician), including but not limited to, the soft tissue, kidneys, intestine, myocardium and lung with the exception of calcified lymph nodes and asymptomatic vascular calcification per investigators' judgment
• Patients with transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder and /or urothelial tract are not eligible. These patients are encouraged to enroll in the ongoing disease-specific studies
• Patients with impaired renal function (glomerular filtration rate [GFR] < 60 mL/min) are excluded. GFR should be assessed by direct measurement (i.e., creatinine clearance or ethyldediaminetetraacetate) or, if not available, by calculation from serum/plasma creatinine (Cockcroft-Gault formula)
• Patients with persistent phosphate level > ULN during screening (within 14 days of treatment and prior to Cycle 1 Day 1) and despite medical management are excluded

• Patients with a history of or current uncontrolled cardiovascular disease as stated below are excluded:

  • Unstable angina, myocardial infarction, or known congestive heart failure Class II-IV within the preceding 12 months; cerebrovascular accident or transient ischemic attack within the preceding 3 months, pulmonary embolism within the preceding 2 months • Any of the following: sustained ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, Torsades de Pointes, cardiac arrest, Mobitz II second degree heart block or third degree heart block; known presence of dilated, hypertrophic, or restrictive cardiomyopathy
• Patients with impaired wound healing capacity defined as skin/decubitus ulcers, chronic leg ulcers, known gastric ulcers, or unhealed incisions are excluded
• Female subjects (of child-bearing potential and sexually active) must use medically acceptable methods of birth control (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry, for the duration of the study, and for 4 months after the last intake of study drug. Male subjects (with a partner of child-bearing potential) must use a condom with spermicide when sexually active and must not donate sperm from the first dose of study drug until 5 months after the last dose of study drug

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 analyzable (ie, eligible, treated and PIK3CA mutation status confirmed) patients. Objective response is defined consistent with 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. Details about how to define complete response and partial response can be found in the master protocol. 90% two-sided binomial exact confidence interval is 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. Please refer to the protocol for detailed definitions of disease progression. 6 month PFS rate was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, which can provide a point estimate for any specific time point.	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, from which 6-month PFS rate is determined
