SUMMARY

This is a Phase 1/Phase 2 study assessing liothyronine (L-T3) immunotherapy and in combination with standard chemotherapy (bevacizumab, irinotecan and temozolomide (BIT)) in children and young adults with medulloblastoma that is relapsed or progressive after standard upfront therapy.

Sex: All
Minimum Age: 1
Maximum Age: 25
Healthy Volunteers: f
View:

• Phase 1 and Phase 2, Cohort 1:

• Participants must have histologically confirmed medulloblastoma that is relapsed/progressive following standard upfront therapy. Tissue confirmation of medulloblastoma diagnosis is required at diagnosis and not required at the time of relapse for entry into the study.

• Phase 2, Cohort 2: Participants must have cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) with cell-free deoxyribonucleic acid (cf-DNA) + assessed in a Chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA)-certified or protocol-approved laboratory. After entry into the study, another CSF sample will be collected and analyzed centrally prior to initiation of protocol therapy to verify cf-DNA positivity.

• Evidence of Disease:

• Phase 1 and Phase 2, Cohort 1:

• Participants may have either Measurable or Evaluable Disease Measurable Disease: Participants must have clear residual disease at the time of enrollment, defined as tumor that is measurable in two perpendicular dimensions on MRI Evaluable Disease: Diffuse leptomeningeal disease OR clear MRI evidence of disease that may not be measurable in two perpendicular dimensions.

• Phase 2, Cohort 2:

• For cf-DNA positive cohort: Participants are not required to have measurable or evaluable disease but must have cf-DNA positivity in a CLIA-certified or protocol-approved laboratory, as above.

• Prior Therapy: Participants must have received standard upfront therapy for medulloblastoma (either with craniospinal radiation or high dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell rescue. If other therapy utilized, must be discussed with study chairs prior to participation). Participants for Phase 1 and Phase 2 cohort 1 may have received further chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy beyond standard upfront therapy prior to trial enrollment. Participants within the Phase 2 cohort 1 must have experienced at least one, and at most, two relapses prior to study enrollment.

• Age 1-25 years old.

• Performance Score: Karnofsky ≥ 50 for participants \> 16 years of age and Lansky ≥ 50 for participants ≤16 years of age (See Appendix A). Participants who are unable to walk because of paralysis, but who are up in a wheelchair, will be considered ambulatory for the purpose of assessing the performance score.

• For those participants currently treated with levothyroxine (Synthroid) they must have stable dosing for a minimum of 3 months prior to enrollment.

• Organ Function Requirements

∙ Peripheral absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1000/cubic millimeters (mm3)

‣ Platelet count ≥ 75,000/microliter (uL) (transfusion independent, defined as not receiving platelet transfusions for at least 7 days prior to enrollment).

‣ A serum creatinine \< 1.5 institutional/reference range upper Limit normal (ULN) based on age and gender

‣ Total bilirubin ≤ 3 x upper limit of normal (ULN); in presence of Gilbert's syndrome, total bilirubin ≤ 6 x ULN or direct bilirubin ≤ 3 x ULN

⁃ Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 5 x upper limit of normal (ULN)

• Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 5 x ULN. 3.3.7.4 Adequate Neurologic Function Defined as:

• Participants with seizure disorder may be enrolled if well controlled. Participants on non-enzyme inducing anticonvulsants may be excluded pending interaction(s) with study drug. 3.3.7.5 Adequate Cardiac Function Defined as:

• Normal left ventricular systolic function on baseline transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE)

• Normal left ventricular systolic function is defined as left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \>55% or shortening fraction (SF) \>28%.

• AND

⁃ No clinically significant arrhythmia on baseline ECG (sinus arrhythmia, sinus tachycardia, sinus bradycardia, early repolarization and 1st degree atrioventricular block when partial response (PR) interval \< 300 millisecond (ms) are not considered clinically significant arrhythmias).

⁃ In addition, the following ECG findings are not considered clinically significant in the setting of a normal echocardiogram:

⁃ Left axis deviation

⁃ Left atrial enlargement

⁃ Right atrial enlargement

⁃ Possible left ventricular hypertrophy

⁃ Possible right ventricular hypertrophy

⁃ Non-specific T wave abnormality 3.3.7.6 For the Phase 1 cohort, normal adrenal axis function is required. For those participants in the Phase 2 cohort, must have controlled adrenal insufficiency \>3 months (no change in steroid replacement or stress dose plan for at least 3 months).

⁃ Normal adrenal axis function as defined as:

⁃ Morning (AM) cortisol \>11mcg/deciliter (dL)

⁃ If AM cortisol is \<11 microgram (mcg)/dL, cosyntropin stimulation test with rise to \>18

• Endocrine conditions: Participants with diabetes insipidus, diabetes melitus, or being treated with levothyroxine, must have stable dosing and control for minimum of 3 months prior to enrollment

⁃ For Cohort 1 only: participants must have recovered from any surgical procedure before enrolling on this study (see below for examples of major, intermediate, and minor surgical procedures):

• Participants with a major surgical procedure within 28 days prior to enrollment should be excluded.

∙ Participants with an intermediate surgical procedure within 14 days prior to enrollment should be excluded.

∙ For minor surgical procedures (including Broviac line or infusaport placement), participants should not receive the first planned dose of bevacizumab until the wound is healed and at least 7 days have elapsed.

∙ There should be no anticipation of need for major surgical procedures during the course of the study.

⁃ The effects of L-T3 with chemotherapy on the developing human fetus are unknown. For this reason and because chemotherapy agents as well as other therapeutic agents used in this trial are known to be teratogenic, women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry, for the duration of study participation and 4 months after completion of L-T3 and chemotherapy administration. 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.

⁃ Participants must be enroll on PNOC COMP if PNOC COMP is open to accrual at the enrolling institution.

⁃ A legal parent/guardian or participant must be able to understand, and willing to sign, a written informed consent and assent document, as appropriate.

Treatments
Experimental: Phase 1 Cohort (Cohort 1)
Participants will be treated with a backbone of BIT. L-T3 will be administered on day 1 of each cycle at planned dose levels (DL). Once the Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) is established with dosing days 1-7, an additional cohort of 6 participants will be treated at the maximum tolerated DL for 14 days of the cycle, Dose level escalation (DLE), which, if tolerated, will become the RP2D. If DLE is not tolerated, the RP2D will become the highest tolerated DL from the prior cohort.
Experimental: Phase 2 Cohort 1- Relapsed/Progressive Disease
Participants will be treated at the RP2D of L-T3 based on the results of the safety Phase 1 cohort. Participants may continue therapy for up to 12 cycles if there is no evidence of unacceptable toxicity, disease progression, or withdrawal of consent. For participants that are benefiting from therapy, they may continue L-T3 monotherapy for one additional year (24 cycles total therapy). Treatment beyond that specified in the protocol should be discussed with the study chairs. Duration of Follow up Participants will enter follow up after the 30-day toxicity period.~Follow-up procedures are to be captured under the PNOC COMP protocol with the exception of protocol defined follow up procedures. Participants will be followed under the PNOC COMP protocol until death or withdrawal from study.
Experimental: Phase 2 Cohort 2 - cfDNA positive in CSF
Children and young adults with medulloblastoma and CSF cf-DNA positivity without radiographic disease progression/recurrence following standard upfront therapy. will include children and young adults with medulloblastoma and positive cf-DNA in CSF following initial standard therapy and will involve a Phase 2 to evaluate clearance of cf-DNA positive disease in CSF in response to L-T3 monotherapy at the RP2D. Cohort 2 will begin enrolling once the RP2D of L-T3 is established.
