RECRUITING

Binimetinib for People With Relapsed/Refractory BRAF Wild Type Hairy Cell Leukemia and Variant

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

Background: Most people with hairy cell leukemia have a BRAF gene mutation. They can be treated with BRAF inhibitors, drugs that target this mutation. For people who do not have this mutation, BRAF inhibitors are not a treatment option. We found that in hairy cell leukemia, when BRAF is not mutated, the MEK gene frequently is. Binimetinib is a MEK inhibitor which targets MEK. It is important to determine if this drug can be a good treatment option in those who cannot benefit treatment with BRAF inhibitors. Objective: To see if binimetinib is an effective treatment for hairy cell leukemia that does not have a BRAF mutation. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older with hairy cell leukemia without a mutation in the BRAF gene and whose disease either did not respond to treatment or came back after treatment Design: Participants will be screened with: * Medical history * Physical exam * Blood and urine tests * Lung and heart tests * Eye exam * Bone marrow biopsy: A needle will be injected through the participant s skin into the bone to remove a sample of marrow. * CT or MRI scan: Participants will lie in a machine that takes pictures of the body. They might receive a contrast agent by vein. Before they start treatment, participants will have an abdominal ultrasound, pulmonary function tests, and exercise stress tests. Participants will take binimetinib by mouth twice daily in 28-day cycles. They will keep a medication diary. Participants will have at least one visit before every cycle. Visits will include repeats of some screening tests. Participants may continue treatment as long as their disease does not get worse and they do not have bad side effects. About a month after their last dose of treatment, participants will have a follow-up visit. They will then have visits once a year....

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Inclusion CriteriaExclusion Criteria
  1. * Histologically confirmed diagnosis of HCL or HCLv according to morphological and immunophenotypic criteria of World Health Organization (WHO) classification \[WHO, 2008 revised 2016\] of lymphoid neoplasm. Participants should have at least one of the following indications for therapy:

  7. * Leukemia cell count \>5x10\^3/mcL
  8. * Leukemic doubling time \<6 months
  9. * Refractory or relapsed disease - defined as either:
  10. * Refractory- no response or disease progression in less than or equal to 1 year following first-line treatment with a purine analog, or
  11. * Relapsed- having relapsed following treatment with at least 1 prior purine-analog treatments
  12. * Participants must be BRAF WT as confirmed from fresh bone marrow aspirate and/or peripheral blood sample, or lymph node/mass by the Laboratory of Pathology, NCI
  13. * Participants who are ineligible for, unable to obtain in a timely manner, cannot access, unwilling to undergo or have failed Moxetumomab Pasudotox trial at NCI
  14. * Age greater than or equal to 18 years
  15. * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status less than or equal to 2 (Karnofsky greater than or equal to 60 percent).
  16. * Adequate organ and marrow function as defined below:
  17. * Total bilirubin less than or equal to 3x upper limit of normal (ULN), unless consistent with Gilbert s (ratio between total and direct bilirubin \> 5)
  18. * Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) less than or equal to 3x ULN
  19. * Alkaline phosphatase \<= 5x ULN
  20. * Serum creatinine less than or equal to 1.5 mg/dL or creatinine clearance greater than or equal to 60 mL/min/1.73 m\^2 for participants with creatinine levels above institutional normal calculated using estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)
  21. * Serum albumin greater than or equal to 2 g/dL
  22. * Prothrombin time (PT)/International Normalized Ratio (INR) \< 2.5x ULN (If on warfarin, PT/INR \< 3.5x ULN; If on any other anticoagulation, Prothrombin time (PT) \< 2.5x ULN
  23. * Fibrinogen greater than or equal to 0.5x lower limit of normal
  24. * The effects of binimetinib on the developing human fetus are unknown therefore participants must use effective methods of contraception as directed below.
  25. * Females of childbearing potential (FOCBP) who are sexually active with a nonsterilized male partner must use a highly effective method of contraception and not donate ova prior to study entry and or the duration of study treatment and until 30 days after the last dose of binimetinib. Periodic abstinence, the rhythm method, and the withdrawal method are not acceptable methods of contraception. Females of childbearing potential are defined as those who are not surgically sterile (i.e., bilateral tubal ligation, bilateral oophorectomy, or complete hysterectomy) or those who are premenarchal or postmenopausal (defined as 12 months with no menses without an alternative medical cause). A highly effective method of contraception is defined as one that results in a low failure rate (i.e., less than 1% per year) when used consistently and correctly. Not all methods of contraception are highly effective. Female subjects must use a hormonal method in addition to a barrier method alone, to minimize the chance of pregnancy. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately.
