open-label, none/not specified-controlled, adaptive Phase I/II trial in Netherlands, France, Norway and others.
- Open Label
- Yes
- Comparator
- None/Not specified
- Adaptive
- True, dose-escalation and expansion design to determine the RP2D (dose escalation based on DLTs in cycle 1 with expansion cohorts).
- Biomarker Stratified
- True, biomarkers: ALK, ROS1, MET; strata: stratum 1b (ALK translocations/rearrangements), stratum 2 (ALK kinase domain point mutations, ALK amplification, MET alterations, TFE3 rearrangement), stratum 3 (ALK/MET point mutations or amplifications, ROS1 or TFE3 rearrangements)
- Single Multiple Or Escalation Dose Combined
- Yes
- Target Sample Size
- 72
Eligibility
Recruits 72 paediatric patients.
- Pregnancy Exclusion
- For patients with childbearing potential, a negative test for pregnancy and agreement to use, effective contraceptive measures is required before entry on study.
- Vulnerable Population
- Paediatric patients are included (age range ≥1 year to ≤21 years). The trial uses age-appropriate information sheets and informed consent/assent procedures: separate SIS/ICF documents are provided for children, parents, young adults and prescreening across participating countries (multiple language/site-specific ICFs listed). Consent is obtained from parent/legal guardian for minors; assent and age-appropriate information are provided for children/adolescents as per the multiple child/parent/young adult ICF documents.
