Targeted Therapy Directed by Genetic Testing in Treating Patients With Advanced Refractory Solid Tumors, Lymphomas, or Multiple Myeloma (The MATCH Screening Trial)

Molecular Analysis for Therapy Choice (MATCH)

This phase II MATCH screening and multi-sub-trial studies how well treatment that is directed by genetic testing works in patients with solid tumors, lymphomas, or multiple myelomas that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) and does not respond to treatment (refractory). Patients must have progressed following at least one line of standard treatment or for which no agreed upon treatment approach exists. Genetic tests look at the unique genetic material (genes) of patients' tumor cells. Patients with genetic abnormalities (such as mutations, amplifications, or translocations) may benefit more from treatment which targets their tumor's particular genetic abnormality. Identifying these genetic abnormalities first may help doctors plan better treatment for patients with solid tumors, lymphomas, or multiple myeloma.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To evaluate the proportion of patients with objective response (OR) to targeted study agent(s) in patients with advanced refractory cancers/lymphomas/multiple myeloma.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the proportion of patients alive and progression free at 6 months of treatment with targeted study agent in patients with advanced refractory cancers/lymphomas/multiple myeloma.

II. To evaluate time until death or disease progression. III. To identify potential predictive biomarkers beyond the genomic alteration by which treatment is assigned or resistance mechanisms using additional genomic, ribonucleic acid (RNA), protein and imaging-based assessment platforms.

IV. To assess whether radiomic phenotypes obtained from pre-treatment imaging and changes from pre- through post-therapy imaging can predict objective response and progression free survival and to evaluate the association between pre-treatment radiomic phenotypes and targeted gene mutation patterns of tumor biopsy specimens.

OUTLINE:

STEP 0 (Screening): Patients undergo biopsy along with molecular characterization of the biopsy material for specific, pre-defined mutations, amplifications, or translocations of interest via tumor sequencing and immunohistochemistry. Consenting patients also undergo collection of blood samples for research purposes.

STEPS 1, 3, 5, 7 (Treatment): Patients are assigned to 1 of 38 treatment subprotocols based on molecularly-defined subgroup. (See Arms Section)

STEPS 2, 4, 6 (Screening): Patients experiencing disease progression on the prior Step treatment or who could not tolerate the assigned treatment undergo review of their previous biopsy results to determine if another treatment is available or undergo another biopsy. Patients may have a maximum of 2 screening biopsies and 2 treatments per biopsy.

STEP 8 (Optional Research): Consenting patients undergo end-of-treatment biopsy and collection of blood samples for research purposes.

Additionally, patients may undergo a computed tomography (CT) scan, magnetic resonance imaging, and/or radionuclide imaging throughout the trial.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for 1 year.

Inclusion Criteria:

• ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR SCREENING BIOPSY (STEP 0)

• Patients must be >= 18 years of age. Because no dosing or adverse event data are currently available on the use of study investigational agents in patients < 18 years of age, children are excluded from this study

• Patients must have histologically documented solid tumors or histologically confirmed diagnosis of lymphoma or multiple myeloma requiring therapy and meet one of the following criteria:

  • Patients must have progressed following at least one line of standard systemic therapy and there must not be other approval/standard therapy available that has been shown to prolong overall survival (i.e. in a randomized trial against another standard treatment or by comparison to historical controls); patients who cannot receive other standard therapy that has been shown to prolong overall survival due to medical issues will be eligible, if other eligibility criteria are met; if the patient is currently receiving therapy, the clinician must have assessed that the current therapy is no longer benefitting the patient prior to enrolling on MATCH, regardless of whether it is considered standard OR
  • Patients for whose disease no standard treatment exists that has been shown to prolong overall survival
  • NOTE: No other prior malignancy is allowed except for the following:
  • Adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer

    • Patients may have received other non-targeted, immunotherapy or targeted treatment between the prior genetic testing at the outside lab and registration to Step 0. The decision to stop such treatment in favor of participation in MATCH, if no further clinical benefit is expected, is per the treating physician's discretion. Documentation of a lack of response to the prior treatment is not required in these cases

    • Patients with an applicable "rare variant" must be able to meet the eligibility criteria for the appropriate subprotocols within 4 weeks following notification of treatment assignment

    • Patient meets one of the following criteria:

      • The sites have received results from one of the designated outside laboratories indicating a "rare variant" that is an actionable Mutation of Interest (aMOI) for specific select subprotocols

  • NOTE: There is no particular window of time after receiving the sequencing report notification of potential eligibility from an outside lab in which the patient must be registered to Step 0, but treatment slots will be assigned on a first come, first serve basis to those who do register to Step 0, and are not held for those notified of potential eligibility who do not register to Step 0

  • NOTE: Treatment assignment (and the start of the associated deadline for Step 1 registration) may occur shortly after Step 0 registration. Note that certain "rare variant" arms require submission of archival tissue for central IHC testing to determine treatment assignment. For those arms, adequate tissue for the central IHC is required to be available for submission

  • NOTE: Other potential aMOIs that would be eligibility criteria for "NON RARE" arms, as determined by the designated laboratories, are not applicable for this process in MATCH

• Patient must not require the use of full dose coumarin-derivative anticoagulants such as warfarin; low molecular weight heparin is permitted for prophylactic or therapeutic use; factor X inhibitors are permitted

  • NOTE: To receive an agent, patient must not have any uncontrolled intercurrent illness such as ongoing or active infection; patients with infections unlikely to be resolved within 2 weeks following screening should not be considered for the trial

• Patients must be able to swallow tablets or capsules; a patient with any gastrointestinal disease that would impair ability to swallow, retain, or absorb drug is not eligible

• Patients who are human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive are eligible if:

  • CD4+ cell count greater or equal to 250 cells/mm^3
  • If patient is on antiretroviral therapy, there must be minimal interactions or overlapping toxicity of the antiretroviral therapy with the experimental cancer treatment; for experimental cancer therapeutics with CYP3A/4 interactions, protease inhibitor therapy is disallowed; suggested regimens to replace protease inhibitor therapy include dolutegravir given with tenofovir/emtricitabine; raltegravir given with tenofovir and emtricitabine; once daily combinations that use pharmacologic boosters may not be used

  • NOTE: Prostate cancer patients may continue their luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist
  • NOTE: For patients entering the study via the original screening process, patients may receive non-protocol treatment after biopsy (if clinically indicated) until they receive notification of results; however, lack of response must be documented prior to registration to Step 1; new non-protocol treatment will NOT be permitted as intervening therapy after registration to Step 0; the only intervening treatment permitted is prior therapy that the patient already received prior to Step 0 registration; the decision to stop the intervening non-protocol treatment will be left up to the treating physician if patient has an aMOI; however, patients will need to be off such therapy for at least 4 weeks before receiving any MATCH protocol treatment
  • NOTE: For patients entering the study via a designated outside laboratory, no intervening systemic non-protocol treatment is permitted after Step 0 registration; all other eligibility requirements still apply to these patients, including the washouts for prior therapy noted above in this section, the time restrictions outlined, and the eligibility criteria for the intended subprotocol

  • Resting corrected QT interval (QTc) =< 480 msec

    • NOTE: If the first recorded QTc exceeds 480 msec, two additional, consecutive ECGs are required and must result in a mean resting QTc =< 480 msec; it is recommended that there are 10-minute (+/- 5 minutes) breaks between the ECGs

  • The following only need to be assessed if the mean QTc > 480 msec

    • Check potassium and magnesium serum levels
    • Correct any identified hypokalemia and/or hypomagnesemia and may repeat ECG to confirm exclusion of patient due to QTc
    • For patients with heart rate (HR) 60-100 beats per minute (bpm), no manual read of QTc is required
    • For patients with baseline HR < 60 or > 100 bpm, manual read of QT by trained personnel is required, with Fridericia correction applied to determine QTc
    • Patient must not have hypokalemia (value < institutional lower limit of normal)

  • No factors that increase the risk of QTc prolongation or risk of arrhythmic events such as heart failure, congenital long QT syndrome, family history of long QT syndrome or unexplained sudden death under 40 years of age or any concomitant medication known to prolong the QT interval

    • NOTE: Patient must be taken off prohibited medication prior to registration to the screening step (Step 0, 2, 4, 6) and remain off these medications thereafter, unless permitted on a subprotocol for the management of treatment related toxicity; patient must be off the drug for at least 5 half-lives prior to registration to the treatment step (Step 1, 3, 5, 7); the medication half-life can be found in the package insert for Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved drugs

• ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR FIRST TREATMENT (STEP 1)

• NOTE: For patients entering step 0 with assay results from outside laboratories, no systemic treatment is allowed after step 0 registration

• As MATCH is designed to add additional subprotocols, implement limited expansions of accrual for certain subprotocols, and/or amend existing arm-specific eligibility criteria, some patients entering under the original screening method may be eligible to have their results rerun in MATCHbox, even if they did not match to a treatment initially or did not receive a treatment assignment due to a lack of available assignment slots; patients whose sequence results will be rerun through MATCHbox must also meet the following criteria:

  • Samples must have been collected within 5 months of the activation of the addendum, as there is an additional month needed to get the patients on trial

  • Patient has not had treatment within the 5 months that resulted in a PR or better after the performance of the screening assessment

  • Patient must meet eligibility criteria, including performance status 1 or better and life expectancy of at least 3 months

  • Patients must meet the eligibility requirements with the following exceptions:

    • Patients may have received other non-targeted, immunotherapy or targeted treatment, which could be stopped in favor of returning to MATCH, if no response to the interim treatment has occurred and no further benefit is expected from this interim treatment, per the treating physician's discretion; documentation of a lack of response to the interim treatment is not required in these cases; however, the following restrictions apply:

      • Enrollment onto another investigational therapeutic study is not permitted
      • Patient cannot be responding to interim treatment, since the benefit of the MATCH treatment is unknown and may deprive patient of an effective treatment if it were given when a patient is responding to another treatment

  • NOTE: Patients meeting these criteria will NOT be biopsied at this time point; instead, their step 0 results will be re-interrogated to determine if another treatment is available

• ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR SECOND SCREENING (STEP 2)

• Patient's disease has progressed on Step 1 treatment or patient could not tolerate assigned treatment

  • NOTE: PATIENTS ENTERING STEP 1 WITH A "RARE VARIANT" FROM AN "OUTSIDE" LAB ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR STEP 2

• No response and progression (or inability to tolerate further treatment) occurred < 6 months from start of step 1 treatment

  • NOTE: Patients meeting these criteria will NOT be biopsied at this time point; instead, their step 0 MATCH assay results will be re-interrogated to determine if another treatment is available upon registration to this study step; it is not necessary to confirm the availability of another potential treatment assignment in advance; only aMOIs detected by the MATCH assay may be used for the determination of eligibility to a relevant subprotocol OR

• Progression (or inability to tolerate further treatment) occurred after a (1) response OR (2) after >= 6 months from start of step 1 treatment; patient must have tumor amenable to percutaneous biopsy and be willing and able to undergo a tumor biopsy or bone marrow aspirate for collection and submission of tumor tissue OR patient will be undergoing a procedure due to medical necessity during which the tissue may be collected for the central determination of the presence of one or more of the specific "actionable" mutations/amplifications of interest (aMOI); archived specimens cannot be accepted

• Patients must meet eligibility criteria as defined in step 0

• Patient must not have been assigned to step 1 treatment based on a "rare variant" determined by a designated outside laboratory

• ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR SECOND TREATMENT (STEP 3)

• NOTE: If screening biopsy samples were submitted during step 2, patients may receive non-protocol treatment after biopsy (if clinically indicated) until they receive notification of results however, lack of response must be documented prior to registration to step 3; new non-protocol treatment will NOT be permitted as intervening therapy after registration to step 2; the decision to stop the intervening nonprotocol treatment will be left up to the treating physician if patient has an aMOI; waiting periods as described will apply

• ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR THIRD SCREENING (STEP 4)

• Patient's disease has progressed on step 3 treatment or patient could not tolerate assigned treatment

  • Patient must meet one of the following criteria:

    • No response and progression (or inability to tolerate further treatment) occurred < 6 months from start of step 3 (second) treatment AND a biopsy was performed at step 2 screening

      • NOTE: Patients meeting these criteria will NOT be biopsied at this time point; instead, their latest MATCH assay results will be re-interrogated to determine if another treatment is available upon registration to this study step; it is not necessary to confirm the availability of another potential treatment assignment in advance OR

    • Progression (or inability to tolerate further treatment) occurred on step 3 treatment and a biopsy was not performed at step 2 screening (due to presence of a
