Description

Summary

The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of plixorafenib in participants with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors, or recurrent or progressive primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors harboring BRAF fusions, or in participants with recurrent high-grade glioma (HGG) harboring BRAF V600E mutation. This will be conducted as two single arm open-label subprotocols (F8394-201A; F8394-201B) under one master protocol.

Official Title

A Phase 2 Master Protocol to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of FORE8394, an Inhibitor of BRAF Class 1 and Class 2 Alterations, in Participants With Cancer Harboring BRAF Alterations

Keywords

Cancer Harboring BRAF Alterations, BRAF alterations, BRAF Fusions, BRAF V600E, BRAF Class 1, BRAF Class 2, Cobicistat, Plixorafenib

Open to people ages 10 years and up

Group A:

  1. Male and female, ≥10 years of age, and weighing ≥30 kg.
  2. Histologic diagnosis of a solid tumor or primary CNS tumor.
  3. Documentation of BRAF gene fusion in tumor and/or blood detected by an analytically validated test by DNA sequencing or RNA (transcriptome) sequencing at CLIA or CLIA-equivalent laboratory or sponsor-designated central laboratory.
  4. Have an archival tissue sample at less than 24 months from date of screening available with sufficient tumor for central next generation sequencing (NGS) testing and biomarker analyses, or >24 months if the participant has never received targeted therapy. If an archival tissue sample is not available, a newly obtained (before treatment) tumor biopsy may be submitted instead.
  5. Consent to provide scan(s) prior to baseline to assess change in tumor trajectory (at least 2 preferred). For participants with LGG, every effort should be made to provide 3 to 4 pre-baseline scans to the central imaging vendor whenever feasible.
  6. Received all available standard therapy, is intolerant to available therapies, or the investigator has determined that treatment with standard therapy is not appropriate.
  7. All adverse events related to prior therapies (chemotherapy; radiotherapy; surgery) must have resolved to Grade 1 or baseline except for
    1. Alopecia (Grade ≤2)
    2. Sensory neuropathy (Grade ≤2)
    3. Other adverse events that have resolved to Grade ≤2 that, according to the clinical judgment of the investigator, do not constitute a safety risk to the participant.

Group B:

  1. Male and female, ≥10 years of age, and weighing ≥30 kg.
  2. Histological diagnosis of a primary CNS tumor, including but not limited to the following:
    1. Adults (≥18 years) with Grade 1-4 glioma or glioneuronal tumor (including glioblastoma, anaplastic astrocytoma, high grade astrocytoma with piloid features, pilocytic astrocytoma, gliosarcoma, anaplastic pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma, anaplastic oligodendroglioma, anaplastic oligoastrocytoma, not otherwise specified [NOS], ganglioglioma, or recurrent LGG).
    2. Pediatric patients (10-17 years of age) with a Grade 3 or 4 glioma or glioneuronal tumor, including those with a prior, histologically confirmed, diagnosis of a low-grade glioma or glioneuronal tumor and now have radiographic or histopathological findings consistent with WHO [2021] Grade 3 or 4 primary CNS tumor.
    3. Participants must have unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic disease that:
    4. Had prior treatment with radiotherapy and/or first-line chemotherapy or concurrent chemoradiation therapy OR
    5. Note: Participants who have a WHO Grade 3 or 4 glioma for whom chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy is not considered standard of care may remain eligible for the study. Consult the Medical Lead to discuss and determine if participant is eligible for enrollment.

    ii. Is intolerant to available therapies OR iii. The investigator has determined that treatment with standard therapy is not appropriate.

  3. Documented BRAF V600E mutation in tumor and/or blood detected by an analytically validated test by NGS or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods and locally approved assays at CLIA or CLIA-equivalent laboratory approved by sponsor or sponsor-designated central test. Sponsor review of the report is required, and testing of BRAF alteration is required at sponsor's central laboratory.
  4. An archival tissue sample at less than 24 months from date of screening available with sufficient tumor for central NGS testing* and biomarker analyses, or >24 month if the participant has never received a targeted therapy, or fresh biopsy is required if the archival sample is not available for retrospective confirmation test. Tissue obtained most proximal to initiating this subprotocol is preferred.
  5. Measurable disease based upon RANO HGG for high-grade tumors or RANO LGG for the low grade tumors, as determined by the radiographic BICR.
  6. All adverse events related to prior therapies (eg, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery) must have resolved to Grade 1 or baseline except for:
    1. Alopecia (Grade ≤2)
    2. Sensory neuropathy (Grade ≤2)
    3. Other adverse events that have resolved to Grade ≤2 that, according to the clinical judgment of the investigator, do not constitute a safety risk to the participant
  7. Participants who are receiving corticosteroid treatment must be on a stable or decreasing dose of ≤8 mg/day of dexamethasone or equivalent corticosteroid treatment for 7 days prior to first dose of study treatments.

Group A:

  1. Participants with known co-occurring NF1 alteration and/or RAS-related mutations.
  2. Participants with evidence of subclonal mutations or heterogeneity that are indicative of a prior treatment effect instead of a driver mutation.
  3. Prior treatment with RAF/BRAF inhibitors active for Class 2 BRAF alterations for advanced unresectable or metastatic disease (including but not limited to tovorafenib [formerly known as DAY 101, TAK 580, and MLN 2480], KIN-2787, BGB-3245, and CFT1946).
    • Note: Participants with pediatric-type LGGs (molecular classification by WHO2021; diagnosed at ≤25 years of age) who had received prior treatment(s) with RAF/BRAF inhibitors are eligible for enrollment, provided there was no evidence of tumor progression on that therapy or within 4 weeks of discontinuation, based upon radiographic assessment.

  5. Tyrosine kinase inhibitor(s) and/or targeted therapies are allowed (other than BRAF/MAPK pathway inhibitors per Exclusion Criteria 3 and 4) and will be restricted to no more than the number of lines of therapy that are consistent with standard treatment guidelines. NOTE: There is no restriction on the number of lines of chemotherapy or immunotherapy.

    2. Agents that are contraindicated with cobicistat.
