RECRUITING

A UGT1A1 Genotype-Directed Study of Belinostat Pharmacokinetics and Toxicity

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: High-grade neuroendocrine carcinomas (HGNEC) are cancers that develop in different parts of the body, including the digestive tract, genitals, neck, and head. One drug (belinostat), combined with 2 other drugs (etoposide and cisplatin), is approved to treat HGNEC. But some people may have a gene variant that affects how quickly their body gets rid of the drug; these people may do better with different dosages of belinostat. Objective: To test higher or lower doses of belinostat based on gene variants in people with HGNEC. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with HGNEC. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood tests. Some blood will be used for genetic testing. They will have imaging scans and a test of their heart function. Samples of tumor tissue may be collected. All 3 study drugs (belinostat, etoposide, cisplatin) are given through a tube attached to a needle inserted into a vein. Treatment will be given in 21-day cycles. For cycles 1 through 6: Participants will come to the clinic for the first 4 days. They will be given all 3 drugs. Imaging scans and other tests will be repeated. Each visit will last 4 to 8 hours. After cycle 6: Participants may continue treatment with belinostat alone. They will come to the clinic for the first 3 days of each cycle. They may continue treatment for up to 5 years if the drug is helping them. Participants will have a follow-up visit 30 days after their last dose of belinostat. Then they will receive follow-up visits by phone or email every 3 to 6 months.

Participation Criteria

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.

Ages Eligible for Study:18 Years to 120 Years
Sexes Eligible for Study:ALL
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:No
Standard Ages:ADULT, OLDER_ADULT
Inclusion CriteriaExclusion Criteria
  1. 1. Participants must have histologically confirmed diagnosis of Extrapulmonary High-Grade Neuroendocrine Carcinomas (HGNECs) for which there is no known standard therapy capable of extending life expectancy.
  2. 2. Age \>= 18 years.
  3. 3. Participants with neuroendocrine prostate cancer may continue ongoing LHRH agonist therapy.
  4. 4. Participants with bone metastases or hypercalcemia who began intravenous bisphosphonate treatment prior to study entry may continue this treatment while on study.
  5. 5. Evaluable (measurable or non-measurable) disease, per RECIST 1.1.
  6. 6. ECOG performance status \<=2 at screening
  7. 7. Participants must have adequate organ and marrow function as defined below:
  8. * Leukocytes \>=3,000/mcL
  9. * Hemoglobin \>= 10 g/dL
  10. * Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \>=1,500/mcL
  11. * Platelets \>=100,000/mcL
  12. * Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) / Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (SGPT): \<=3 X institutional upper limit of normal
  13. * Total bilirubin \<= 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN).
  14. * Serum Creatinine \<= 1.5 X institutional ULN OR
  15. * An estimated Creatinine clearance (CrCL) \>=60 mL/min/1.73 m\^2 based on the Cockcroft Gault equation
  16. * Prothrombin time (PT) / International normalized ratio (INR) and Partial thromboplastin time (PTT) \<= 1 X institutional ULN
  17. 8. Hepatitis B virus (HBV)-infected participants can be enrolled if HBV DNA is undetectable. Hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected participants can be enrolled if HCV RNA level is undetectable
  18. 9. Women of child-bearing potential (WOCBP) must agree to use effective contraception (hormonal, intrauterine device (IUD), tube ligation, a partner has had a previous vasectomy, abstinence) prior to study entry, during the study, and for 14 months for women after the last dose of the study drug(s). Men with partners of childbearing potential must agree to use effective contraception (abstinence, condoms, previous vasectomy) or request partners to use effective contraception (per above) during the study and for 11 months after the last dose of study therapy.
  19. 10. Breastfeeding participants must be willing to discontinue breastfeeding starting with prior to study entry, during the study, and for 3 months after the last dose of the study drug(s).

  21. 12. Participants must be able to understand and be willing to sign a written informed consent document.
  1. 1. Participants with prior investigational drug, chemotherapy, immunotherapy or any prior radiotherapy (except for palliative bone directed therapy) within the past 14 days prior to the first drug administration. Additionally, FDA-approved hormonal therapy for the treatment or prevention of other malignancies (e.g., breast cancer, prostate cancer) may be continued where in the opinion of the investigator stopping such therapies may increase the risk of disease progression. Potential drug-drug interactions with the hormonal agent will be assessed by the investigator prior to enrollment.
  2. 2. History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to belinostat, cisplatin, etoposide or other agents used in study.
