Enasidenib in IDH2-Mutated Malignant Sinonasal and Skull Base Tumors

Launched by NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE (NCI) · Dec 19, 2023

ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a medication called enasidenib to see if it can help patients with certain rare cancers located in the nasal cavity or the base of the skull. These cancers often have a specific change in their DNA called an IDH2 mutation, which can make them harder to treat. The trial is looking for adults aged 18 and older who have been diagnosed with these types of cancers, which include sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma and olfactory neuroblastoma, among others. To participate, the cancer must have either come back or spread after previous treatments.

Participants in the trial will take enasidenib as a daily tablet for 28-day cycles and will have regular check-ups to monitor their health and the effects of the medication. They will also keep a diary to track when they take their medication. The goal is to see if this treatment can improve their condition and to gather more information about its effects. This trial is currently recruiting, and patients may stay in it as long as the drug is helping them.

Eligibility criteria

• * INCLUSION CRITERIA:

• • Locally advanced disease must not be amenable to potentially curative surgery/radiotherapy.
• • Must have recurred or progressed following prior systemic therapy administered in the recurrent or metastatic setting. Any number of prior systemic therapies is allowed.

• • hemoglobin \>=9 g/dL (PRBC transfusion allowed)
• • absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \>=1,000/mcL
• • platelets \>=75,000/mcL
• • total bilirubin \<= 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (iULN) (\<=3x in the presence of Gilbert s syndrome or a UGT1A1 gene mutation)
• • AST/ALT \<=1.5 x iULN (\<=2.5 x iULN if liver metastasis)
• • Serum Creatinine \<=1.5 x iULN OR
• • Creatinine Clearance \>=40 mL/min by Cockroft-Gault GFR estimation for subjects with serum creatinine levels \<=1.5 X iULN
• • Participants with treated brain or central nervous system metastases are eligible if follow-up brain imaging after at least 4 weeks following CNS-directed therapy shows no evidence of progression.
• • Participants positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) must have CD4 count \>= 200 cells per cubic millimeter at enrollment, be on stable antiretroviral therapy for at least 4 weeks and have no reported opportunistic infections or Castleman s disease within 12 months prior to treatment.
• • Participants with evidence of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, must have HBV viral load that is undetectable on suppressive therapy, if indicated.
• • Participants with evidence of HCV infection, must have viral load that is undetectable.
• • Women of reproductive potential (WORP\*) and men with female partners of reproductive potential must agree to abstain from sexual intercourse or to use 1 highly effective method of contraception during the study and for at least 2 months following the last dose of enasidenib. A highly effective form of contraception is one of the following: hormonal contraception (e.g., oral contraceptive pills, intravaginal ring, transdermal patch, injection, implant); intrauterine device (IUD); tubal ligation; or a partner with a vasectomy.
• • Participants who are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed must agree to discontinue/postpone breastfeeding while on study therapy and for at least 2 months after the last dose.
• • Ability of participant to understand and willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
• • Willingness to provide blood samples and undergo biopsy of tumor for research purposes. Participants may be exempt from biopsy.
• • Participants must co-enroll in companion protocol study #18-DC-0051 entitled Biospecimen procurement for NIDCD clinical protocols . A separate informed consent will be obtained from study participants for this study.
• • Participants with ONB must co-enroll in companion protocol #21-C-0009 entitled A Natural History Study of Children and Adults with Olfactory Neuroblastoma . A separate informed consent will be obtained from study participants for this study.
• • WORP: any woman who has experienced menarche and has not had hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy or is not postmenopausal (amenorrheic 12 months or more following cessation of exogenous hormonal treatments; if \<50 years old need follicle stimulating hormone FSH in the post-menopausal range)
• EXCLUSION CRITERIA:
• • Prior treatment with IDH1/2 inhibitor.
• • Use of other investigational agents within 3 weeks or 5 half-lives prior to first treatment administration.
• • Systemic anticancer treatment within 3 weeks prior to first treatment administration. All residual treatment-related toxicities must have resolved or be minimal and not constitute a safety risk. Note: Bisphosphonates and denosumab are permitted medications.
• • Large-field radiotherapy within 4 weeks prior to first treatment administration. All residual treatment-related toxicities must have resolved (except xerostomia) or be minimal and not constitute a safety risk.
• • Major surgery within 2 weeks prior to first treatment administration. If participant underwent major surgery, they must have recovered adequately from the toxicity and/or complications from the intervention prior to starting study treatment. Minimally invasive procedures are permitted.
• • Participants with new or progressive (active) brain metastases or leptomeningeal disease.
• • History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to enasidenib.
• • Treatment with botanical preparations (e.g., herbal supplements or traditional Chinese medicines) intended for general health support or to treat the disease under study within 2 weeks prior to first treatment administration.
• • Participants taking the following sensitive cytochrome P450 (CYP) substrate medications that have a narrow therapeutic range are excluded from the study unless they can be transferred to other medications prior to enrolling: warfarin, phenytoin (CYP2C9), S-mephenytoin (CYP2C19), thioridazine (CYP2D6), theophylline and tizanidine (CYP1A2). Excluded medications should not be given within 3 weeks or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) prior to the first dose of study medication. Other CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, and CYP1A2 substrates may be given concurrently if medically necessary.
• • Participants taking sensitive substrates of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), breast cancer resistant protein (BCRP), OAT1, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, and OCT2 should be excluded from the study unless the substrate medication can be dose modified according to the package insert of the substrate (if applicable) and adverse events can be closely monitored during concurrent administration. Alternately, participants can be transferred to other medications prior to enrolling. Excluded medications should not be given within 3 weeks or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) prior to the first of study medication.
