open-label, none/not specified-controlled, adaptive Phase I/II trial across 11 sites in Germany, Spain, Denmark and others.

Open Label
Yes
Comparator
None/Not specified
Adaptive
True, includes a safety run-in/dose confirmation (Part 1) to identify pediatric RP2D with a minimum of 6 participants (up to ~18) and dose refinement by modelling/simulation; expansion rules: initial expansion (Part 2) with minimum 10 participants and trigger for additional expansion if 4 or more participants achieve an objective response; integrated efficacy analysis across cohorts for confirmation.
Biomarker Stratified
True, biomarker: ALK gene fusions (ALK fusion-positive participants only)
Single Multiple Or Escalation Dose Combined
Yes
Target Sample Size
32

Eligibility

Recruits 32 paediatric patients.

Vulnerable Population
Pediatric participants (<18 years) are included and the trial selects vulnerable populations (isVulnerablePopulationSelected=true). Age-appropriate subject information sheets, informed consent forms and assent forms are provided (documents for 3-6 years, 7-11 years, 12-17 years, parent/principal ICFs and assent forms are listed in the application documents). Parental/legal guardian consent is required for minors, and age-specific assent forms are available for children/adolescents as indicated by the submitted ICF/assent documents.

Inclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- Age at study entry <18 years old"}
  • {"criterion_text":"- Histologically confirmed diagnosis of CNS or solid tumors with documented evidence of ALK gene fusions as assessed centrally through the use of the investigational F1CDx assay or based on pre-existing NGS test results"}
  • {"criterion_text":"- Participants with prior treatment proven to be ineffective (relapsed or refractory), or for whom there is no satisfactory treatment available"}
  • {"criterion_text":"- Participants with tumor tissue availability for submission to the Sponsor from active disease, obtained subsequent to last anti-cancer therapy regimen administered and obtained prior to study enrollment (preferred option), or willing to undergo a core or excisional biopsy sample collection prior to enrollment"}
  • {"criterion_text":"- Adequate performance status (for participants < 16 years old: Lansky Performance Status should be >= 50% and for participants >= 16 years old: Karnofsky Performance Status should be >= 50%)"}
  • {"criterion_text":"- Participants with adequate end-organ function"}

Exclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- Medical history of prior use of ALK inhibitors, diagnosis of Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (ALCL), any gastrointestinal (GI) disorder that may affect absorption of oral medications, organ transplant, recent stem cell infusions (with or without traumatic brain injury), hypersensitivity to any of the additives in the alectinib drug formulation, substance abuse within 12 months prior to screening, congenital bone disorders, bone metabolism alterations or osteopenia (familial or personal history), treatment with investigational therapy 28 days prior to initiation of study drug"}
  • {"criterion_text":"- Liver disease as evidenced by abnormal levels of ALT or AST and Bilirubin"}
  • {"criterion_text":"- Abnormal levels of creatinine or glomerular filtration rate (GFR)"}
  • {"criterion_text":"- Co-administration of anti-cancer therapies other than those administered in this study"}
  • {"criterion_text":"- Active hepatitis B or C virus (HBV, HBC) or known HIV positivity or AIDS-related illness"}
  • {"criterion_text":"- Infection considered by the investigator to be clinically uncontrolled or of unacceptable risk to the participant upon induction of neutropenia"}

Consent Approach
Parental/legal guardian informed consent is required for minors; age-appropriate subject information sheets and assent forms are provided. The submission includes multiple age-specific ICFs and assent documents (e.g., ICFs and SIS for 3-6 years, 7-11 years, 12-17 years, parent/principal ICFs and assent forms). A Spanish-language assent document is present ('Asentimiento 12 a 17 anos') and multiple language versions of protocol/title translations exist; age-specific consent/assent procedures are used per site-specific ICFs.
