Overview

Testing Trametinib as a Potential Targeted Treatment in Cancers With GNAQ or GNA11 Genetic Changes (MATCH-Subprotocol S2)

Status:
Active, not recruiting
Trial end date:
1969-12-31
Target enrollment:
0
Participant gender:
All
Summary
This phase II MATCH treatment trial identifies the effects of trametinib in patients whose cancer has genetic changes called GNAQ or GNA11 mutations. Trametinib may block proteins called MEK1 and MEK2, which may be needed for cancer cell growth when GNAQ or GNA11 mutations are present. Researchers hope to learn if trametinib will shrink this type of cancer or stop its growth.
Phase:
Phase 2

Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

- Patients must have met applicable eligibility criteria in the Master MATCH Protocol
prior to registration to treatment subprotocol

- Patients must have GNAQ or GNA11 mutations, or another aberration, as determined via
the MATCH Master Protocol

- Patients must have an electrocardiogram (ECG) within 8 weeks prior to treatment
assignment and must have NONE of the following cardiac criteria:

- Clinically important abnormalities in rhythm, conduction or morphology of resting
ECG (e.g. complete left bundle branch block, third degree heart block)

- Treatment-refractory hypertension defined as a blood pressure of systolic > 140
mmHg and/or diastolic > 90 mmHg which cannot be controlled by anti-hypertensive
therapy

- Patients must have an echocardiogram (ECHO) or a nuclear study (multigated acquisition
scan [MUGA] or First Pass) within 4 weeks prior to registration to treatment and must
not have a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < the institutional lower limit
of normal (LLN). If the LLN is not defined at a site, the LVEF must be > 50% for the
patient to be eligible

- Patients who previously received monoclonal antibody therapy (e.g., ipilimumab,
nivolumab, pembrolizumab and others) must have stopped the prior therapy for 8 or more
weeks before starting on trametinib

- Patients with glioblastoma must have histologically or radiographically confirmed
recurrent or progressive World Health Organization (WHO) grade 4 glioma
(glioblastoma).

- NOTE: All baseline and post-baseline disease assessments must be performed using
contrast-enhanced cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or contrast-enhanced
computed tomography (CT) for subjects who cannot have MRI performed

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patients with a history of interstitial lung disease or pneumonitis are excluded

- Patients must not have known hypersensitivity to trametinib or compounds of similar
chemical or biologic composition or to dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)

- Patients must not have a history or current evidence/risk of retinal vein occlusion
(RVO). An eye exam is required at baseline

- Patients who previously received prior treatment with other MEK inhibitors (including,
but not limited to, trametinib, binimetinib, cobimetinib, selumetinib, RO4987655
[CH4987655], GDC-0623 and pimasertib) will be excluded

- Patients with uveal melanoma are excluded
