Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

This phase II trial tests how well CPI-613 (devimistat) in combination with hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) or gemcitabine works in patients with solid tumors that may have spread from where they first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) or that have not responded to chemotherapy medications (chemorefractory). Metabolism is how the cells in the body use molecules (carbohydrates, fats, and proteins) from food to get the energy they need to grow, reproduce and stay healthy. Tumor cells, however, do this process differently as they use more molecules (glucose, a type of carbohydrate) to make the energy they need to grow and spread. CPI-613 works by blocking the creation of the energy that tumor cells need to survive, grow in the body and make more tumor cells. When the energy production they need is blocked, the tumor cells can no longer survive. Hydroxychloroquine is a drug used to treat malaria and rheumatoid arthritis and may also improve the immune system in a way that tumors may be better controlled. Fluorouracil is in a class of medications called antimetabolites. It works by killing fast-growing abnormal cells. Gemcitabine is a chemotherapy drug that blocks the cells from making DNA and may kill tumor cells. CPI-613 (devimistat) in combination with hydroxychloroquine and 5-fluorouracil or gemcitabine may work to better treat advanced solid tumors.

For this reason and because antineoplastic agents as well as other therapeutic agents used in this trial are known to be teratogenic, patients of child-bearing potential (POCBP) regardless of gender must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) from time of informed consent, for the duration of study participation, and for 180 days following completion of therapy. Patients who can impregnate their partners regardless of gender must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) from time of informed consent, for the duration of study participation, and for 180 days following completion of therapy. Should a patient become pregnant or suspect they are pregnant while they or their partner is participating in this study, they should inform their treating physician immediately. * Note: At the discretion of the investigator, acceptable methods of contraception may include total abstinence in cases where the lifestyle of the patient ensures compliance. (Periodic abstinence \[e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, postovulation methods\] and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.) * Note: A POCBP is any person with an egg-producing reproductive tract (regardless of sexual orientation, having undergone a tubal ligation, or remaining celibate by choice) who meets the following criteria: * Has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy * Has had menses at any time in the preceding 12 consecutive months (and therefore has not been naturally postmenopausal for \> 12 months) * POCBP must have a negative pregnancy test prior to registration on study. * Note: If negative pregnancy test result is \>7 days from first dose of study treatment it must be repeated at time of first dose of study treatment (with any of the four drugs used in this study). * For patients with a known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), infected patients on effective anti-retroviral therapy must have a viral load undetectable for 6 months prior to registration. * For patients with a known history of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, the HBV viral load must be undetectable on suppressive therapy, if indicated. * Patients with a known history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection must have been treated and cured.

Patients must be class 2B or better. * Note: Patients with pacemakers where corrected QT interval (QTc) is not a reliable measure will require an evaluation by a cardiologist to exclude co-existing cardiac conditions which would prohibit safe participation in the study. * Patients must have the ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document for the duration of the entirety of the study. * Patients must be reliable, willing to make themselves available for the duration of the entire study and willing to follow screening procedures.	* Patients who have not recovered from adverse events due to prior anti-cancer therapy (i.e., have residual toxicities \> grade 1). * Note: Patients who experience adverse events of alopecia and peripheral neuropathy that have not recovered are eligible; patients with any lab abnormality that is above grade 1 related to previous therapy found to be not clinically significant will also be eligible. * Patients with symptomatic brain metastases currently using corticosteroids. * Note: Patients with brain metastases who are asymptomatic and off corticosteroids for at least one week are eligible. * Patients with severe obstructive pulmonary disease or interstitial lung disease. * Patients with a history of myocardial infarction that is \<90 days prior to registration. * Patients using concomitant medications that prolong the QT/QTc intervals. For example, patients receiving amiodarone.
