Infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) usually have pulmonary hypoplasia and
persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) leading to hypoxemic respiratory
failure (HRF). Pulmonary hypertension associated with CDH is frequently resistant to
conventional pulmonary vasodilator therapy including inhaled nitric oxide (iNO). Increased
pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) can lead to right ventricular overload and dysfunction.
In patients with CDH, left ventricular dysfunction, either caused by right ventricular
overload or a relative underdevelopment of the left ventricle, is associated with poor
prognosis. Milrinone is an intravenous inotrope and lusitrope (enhances cardiac systolic
contraction and diastolic relaxation respectively) with pulmonary vasodilator properties and
has been shown anecdotally to improve oxygenation in PPHN. Milrinone is commonly used during
the management of CDH although no randomized trials have been performed to test its efficacy.
Thirty percent of infants with CDH in the Children's Hospital Neonatal Database (CHND) and
22% of late-preterm and term infants with CDH in the Pediatrix database received milrinone.
In the recently published VICI trial, 84% of patients with CDH received a vasoactive
medication. In the current pilot trial, neonates with an antenatal or postnatal diagnosis of
CDH will be randomized to receive milrinone or placebo to establish safety of this medication
in CDH and test its efficacy in improving oxygenation.

Infants are eligible if they meet all of the following criteria:
• ≥ 36 0/7 weeks PMA by best obstetric estimate AND birth weight of ≥ 2000g
• postnatal age ≤7 days (168 hours of age)

• if an arterial blood gas is not available at the time of randomization, a preductal
OSI of ≥ 5 can be used as an inclusion criterion instead of OI ≥ 10; (the OSI should
be based on the most recent preductal pulse oximetry recording and must be within 12
hours of randomization)
• postnatal blood gas with PCO2 ≤ 80 mmHg (arterial, capillary or venous blood gas) on
the most recent blood gas sample obtained within 12 hours prior to randomization Note:

occlusion studies such as FETO may be enrolled if permitted by investigators of the
fetal tracheal occlusion study; [FETO refers to fetoscopic endoluminal tracheal
occlusion and involves occlusion of fetal trachea with a balloon device at
mid-gestation and subsequent removal in later gestation]

vasodilators such as iNO, inhaled epoprosternol, inhaled PGE1 and oral such as
endothelin receptor antagonists is permitted •Note: it is unlikely to be on oral
pulmonary vasodilators early in the course of CDH)
• ongoing therapy with parenteral (intravenous or subcutaneous) pulmonary vasodilators
such as IV/SQ prostacyclin analogs (Epoprostenol •Flolan or Treprostinil •Remodulin

the time of randomization. In addition, initiation of therapy with these two classes
of parenteral medications during the first 24 hours of study drug initiation is not
permitted and will be considered a protocol deviation. The risk of systemic
hypotension is high during the first 24 hours of study-drug (milrinone) infusion and
hence parenteral administration of other pulmonary vasodilators is avoided to minimize
risk of hypotension.
• Subjects already on ECMO or patients who are being actively considered for ECMO by the
neonatal or surgical team
• attending (neonatal, critical care or surgical) refusal for participation in the trial
(including concern about presence of hemodynamic instability)

Feasibility Study Using Imaging Biomarkers in Lung Cancer
The purpose of this research study is to develop a method of using magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) to evaluate solitary pulmonary nodules (mass in the lung smaller than 3 centimeters). A
pulmonary nodule is a mass or growth on the lung. An MRI is a scanning device that uses
magnets to make images (pictures) of the body. This study is being done to determine what
series of reactions (metabolic pathways) pulmonary nodules use as they burn sugar as fuel for
growth. The manner in which the tumor burns (metabolizes) sugar for fuel is being
investigated by using a natural, slightly modified, sugar solution (13C-glucose) and studying
a small sample of the tumor once it is removed at the time of surgery.
• Subjects of all races and ethnic origins over 18 years of age will be recruited.
• Patients must have suspicious or known to be malignant solitary pulmonary nodule,5cm

method for at least 3 months after the last dose of AMG 510. Participants are
considered to be of "reproductive potential" if they have had menses at any time in
the preceding 12 consecutive months and no prior oophorectomy and/or hysterectomy. In
addition to routine contraceptive methods, "effective contraception" for participants
with uteri also includes heterosexual celibacy and surgery intended to prevent
pregnancy (or with a side-effect of pregnancy prevention) defined as a hysterectomy,
bilateral oophorectomy or bilateral tubal ligation. Acceptable methods of birth
control for participants with sperm include sexual abstinence (refraining from
heterosexual intercourse); vasectomy with testing showing there is no sperm in the
semen; bilateral tubal ligation or occlusion in the partner; or a condom (the female

Testing the Use of Combination Immunotherapy Treatment (N-803 [ALT-803] Plus Pembrolizumab) Against the Usual Treatment for Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (A Lung-MAP Treatment Trial)
This phase II/III Lung-MAP trial studies how well immunotherapy treatment with N-803
(ALT-803) and pembrolizumab working in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer that
has spread to other places in the body (advanced). Natural killer cells, part of our immune
system, are always on alert and ready to defend our bodies from many kinds of infection or
rogue cells, such as those that cause cancer. N-803 (ALT-803) may activate natural killer
cells so that they can stimulate an immune response to help fight cancer. Immunotherapy with
monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the
cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving N-803
(ALT-803) and pembrolizumab may help shrink and stabilize lung cancer or prevent it from
returning.

Osimertinib With or Without Bevacizumab as Initial Treatment for Patients With EGFR-Mutant Lung Cancer
This phase III trial compares the effect of bevacizumab and osimertinib combination vs.
osimertinib alone for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer that has spread outside of
the lungs (stage IIIB-IV) and has a change (mutation) in a gene called EGFR. The EGFR protein
is involved in cell signaling pathways that control cell division and survival. Sometimes,
mutations in the EGFR gene cause EGFR proteins to be made in higher than normal amounts on
some types of cancer cells. This causes cancer cells to divide more rapidly. Osimertinib may
stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking EGFR that is needed for cell growth in this type
of cancer. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, may interfere with the ability of
tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving osimertinib with bevacizumab may control cancer for
longer and help patients live longer as compared to osimertinib alone.

intolerant of MRI) of brain metastasis. (If patient is unable to tolerate MRI
contrast, an MRI without contrast is acceptable if lesions are visible)
3. All brain metastases must be outside the brain stem (midbrain, pons and medulla).
4. Patient must have 10 or less brain metastases.
5. The maximum diameter of any lesion must be less than or equal to 3.0 cm.
6. Previous treatment with surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, immunotherapy or any
targeted agents are allowed provided that:
• Radiation was not to the brain.
• Surgery to the brain was > 7 days prior to SRS and there remains at least one
additional brain metastasis that can be targeted with SRS
7. Age ≥ 18 years.
8. ECOG Performance Score of 2 or better/Karnofsky Performance Status score of 50-60 or
better.
9. All men, as well as women of child-bearing potential must agree to use adequate
contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study
entry and for the duration of study participation. Should a woman become pregnant or
suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she should inform her
treating physician immediately.
A female of child-bearing potential is any woman (regardless of sexual orientation,
marital status, having undergone a tubal ligation, or remaining celibate by choice)
who meets the following criteria:
• Has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy; or
• Has not been naturally postmenopausal for at least 12 consecutive months (i.e.,
has had menses at any time in the preceding 12 consecutive months).
Medically acceptable birth control (contraceptives) includes:

Exclusion Criteria
1. Patients had craniotomy and surgery to the brain within 7 days from the date of SRS.
2. Patients with leptomeningeal metastasis.
NOTE: For the purposes of exclusion, LMD is a clinical diagnosis, defined as positive
CSF cytology and/or equivocal radiologic or clinical evidence of leptomeningeal
involvement. Patients with leptomeningeal symptoms in the setting of leptomeningeal
enhancement by imaging (MRI) would be considered to have LMD even in the absence of
positive CSF cytology, unless a parenchymal lesion can adequately explain the
neurologic symptoms and/or signs. In contrast, an asymptomatic or minimally
symptomatic patient with mild or nonspecific leptomeningeal enhancement (MRI) would
not be considered to have LMD. In that patient, CSF sampling is not required to
formally exclude LMD, but can be performed at the investigator's discretion based on
level of clinical suspicion.
3. Patients with a contraindication to both MRI (with or without contrast) and CT scan
(with contrast)
4. Patients with life expectancy < 3 months.
5. Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active
infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac
arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that, in the opinion of the
investigator, would limit compliance with study requirements.
6. Subjects must not be pregnant or nursing at the time of SRS treatment due to the
potential for congenital abnormalities and the potential of this regimen to harm
nursing infants.

RejuvenAir® System Trial for COPD With Chronic Bronchitis (SPRAY-CB)
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is defined as an impaired ability to move air
within the lungs and is a major public health problem that is projected to rank fifth
worldwide in terms of disease burden and third in terms of mortality. Chronic bronchitis (CB)
is a common clinical phenotype within the umbrella of a COPD diagnosis and is classically
defined as chronic cough and sputum production for 3 months a year for 2 consecutive years2,
but many studies have used different definitions to define it- chronic cough and sputum
production for one year or cough and sputum production on most days of the week. CB is
associated with multiple clinical consequences, including; the worsening of lung function
decline, increasing risk of acute exacerbations of COPD, increased risk of developing
pneumonia, reduced health related quality of life, and an increase in all-cause mortality.

Testing the Addition of a Type of Drug Called Immunotherapy to the Usual Chemotherapy Treatment for Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, ALCHEMIST Chemo-IO Study
This phase III ALCHEMIST trial tests the addition of pembrolizumab to usual chemotherapy for
the treatment of stage IIA, IIB IIIA or IIIB non-small cell lung cancer that has been removed
by surgery. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the
body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to
grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs, such as cisplatin, pemetrexed, carboplatin, gemcitabine
hydrochloride, and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells,
either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from
spreading. Giving pembrolizumab with usual chemotherapy may help increase survival times in
patients with stage IIA, IIB IIIA or IIIB non-small cell lung cancer.

Nivolumab in Treating Patients With Autoimmune Disorders and Advanced, Metastatic, or Unresectable Cancer
This phase Ib trial studies the side effects of nivolumab and to see how well it works in
treating patients with autoimmune disorders and cancer that has spread to other places in the
body or cannot removed by surgery. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as
nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the
ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
• Patients can have either histologically confirmed malignancy that is radiologically
evaluable and metastatic or unresectable, or have a malignancy for which a PD-1/PD-L1
inhibitor has been approved in the adjuvant setting. Eligible tumor types include
solid tumors and malignancies in which there is known evidence of clinical activity
for single agent PD-1 or PD-L1 antibodies. Nivolumab is Food and Drug Administration
(FDA)-approved for the treatment of melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC),
Merkel cell cancer, bladder cancer, renal cell carcinoma (RCC), gastric cancer,
hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), cervical cancer, head and neck cancer, Hodgkin
lymphoma (HL), metastatic small cell lung cancer (SCLC), and any solid tumor with
microsatellite instability (MSI)-high status confirmed. Patients with HL are eligible
but must follow standard response criteria. Additional tumor types may be eligible on
a case by case basis upon discussion with principal investigator (PI). Patients
enrolling on the trial for adjuvant use will be restricted to those with histology for
which a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor has been approved in the adjuvant setting including but
not limited to NSCLC, melanoma, RCC, cervical cancer, and bladder cancer
• Patients who have previously received other forms of immunotherapy (high-dose [HD]
IL-2, IFN, CTLA-4) are allowed. Patients must not have received cytokine immunotherapy
for at least 4 weeks before nivolumab administration. Patients who have received prior
anti-CTLA4 will be allowed and the washout period is 6 weeks

or an autoimmune disease that is contributing to the elevation of these values
• Creatinine ULN OR glomerular filtration rate (GFR) >= 30 mL/min (if using the
Cockcroft-Gault formula)
• Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients on effective antiretroviral
therapy with undetectable viral load within 6 months are eligible for this trial
• If evidence of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, HBV viral load must be
undetectable on suppressive therapy if indicated
• If history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, must be treated with undetectable HCV
viral load
• Patients with new or progressive brain metastases (active brain metastases) or
leptomeningeal disease are eligible if the treating physician determines that
immediate central nervous system (CNS) specific treatment is not required and is
unlikely to be required for at least 4 weeks (or scheduled assessment after the first
cycle of treatment), and a risk-benefit analysis (discussion) by the patient and the
investigator favors participation in the clinical trial
• The effects of nivolumab on the developing human fetus are unknown. For this reason,
women of child-bearing potential (WOCBP) and men must agree to use adequate
contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study
entry and for the duration of study participation. WOCBP receiving nivolumab will be
instructed to adhere to contraception for a period of 5 months after the last dose of
investigational product. Men receiving nivolumab and who are sexually active with
WOCBP will be instructed to adhere to contraception for a period of 7 months after the
last dose of investigational product. Women of childbearing potential must have a
negative serum or urine pregnancy test (minimum sensitivity 25 IU/L or equivalent
units of human chorionic gonadotropin [HCG]) within 24 hours prior to the start of
nivolumab. Women must not be breastfeeding. Women who are not of childbearing
potential (i.e., who are postmenopausal or surgically sterile as well as azoospermic
men) do not require contraception. WOCBP is defined as any female who has experienced
menarche and who has not undergone surgical sterilization (hysterectomy or bilateral
oophorectomy) or who is not postmenopausal. Menopause is defined clinically as 12
months of amenorrhea in a woman over 45 in the absence of other biological or
physiological causes. In addition, women under the age of 55 must have a documented
serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level less than 40 mIU/mL. These durations
have been calculated using the upper limit of the half-life for nivolumab (25 days)
and are based on the protocol requirement that WOCBP use contraception for 5
half-lives plus 30 days, and men who are sexually active with WOCBP use contraception
for 5 half-lives plus 90 days. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is
pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she (or the
participating partner) should inform the treating physician immediately
• Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document
• Patients with more than one autoimmune disease are eligible. The treating physician
would determine which autoimmune disease is dominant and the patient would be treated
under that specific cohort
Exclusion Criteria:
• Patients who have had chemotherapy or radiotherapy within 2 weeks (6 weeks for
nitrosoureas or mitomycin C) prior to entering the study or those who have not
recovered from adverse events (AEs) due to agents administered more than 4 weeks
earlier have not resolved or stabilized. Palliative (limited-field) radiation therapy
(RT) is permitted (2 week washout from start of treatment), if all of the following
criteria are met:
• Repeat imaging demonstrates no new sites of bone metastases
• The lesion being considered for palliative radiation is not a target lesion
• Patients with prior therapy with an anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1
• Patients with prior allogeneic hematologic transplant
• Patients who are receiving any other anticancer investigational agents
• Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active
infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac
arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with
study requirements
• Patients who have had evidence of active or acute diverticulitis, intra-abdominal
abscess, gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, obstruction, and abdominal carcinomatosis
which are known risk factors for bowel perforation should be evaluated for the
potential need for additional treatment before coming on study. For the IBD (UC and
CD) cohort, an endoscopic assessment, disease activity index, and disease specific
inclusion/exclusion criteria will substitute for these factors in determining
eligibility with the exception of abdominal carcinomatosis, which should prompt
further evaluation
A Study of the Efficacy and Safety of MK-5475 in Participants With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (INSIGNIA-PAH: Phase 2/3 Study of an Inhaled sGC Stimulator in PAH) (MK-5475-007)
This is a two-part (Phase 2/Phase 3) study of MK-5475, an inhaled soluble guanylate cyclase
stimulator, in participants with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).
The first part (Phase 2) will assess three different doses of MK-5475 compared to placebo in
a base period of 12 weeks, followed by comparison of three different doses of MK-5475 during
an optional 24 month extension period. The treatment dose with the best efficacy and safety
profile in the phase 2 cohort base period will be selected for use in the second part (Phase
3) of the study. The primary hypothesis of Phase 2 is that at least one MK-5475 dose is
superior to placebo in reducing pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) from baseline at week 12.
The purpose of the second part (Phase 3) of the study is to confirm the efficacy, safety, and
tolerability of MK-5475 at the selected dose compared to placebo during a 12 week base period
followed by an extension period of up to 5 years. The primary hypothesis of Phase 3 is that
MK-5475 is superior to placebo in increasing 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) from baseline at
week 12.

Olanzapine Versus Megestrol Acetate for the Treatment of Loss of Appetite Among Advanced Cancer Patients
This phase III trial compares the effects of olanzapine versus megestrol acetate in treating
loss of appetite in patients with cancer that has spread to other places in the body
(advanced). Olanzapine may stimulate and increase appetite. This study aims to find out if
olanzapine is better than the usual approach (megestrol acetate) for stimulating appetite and
preventing weight loss.
• Women and men of reproductive potential should agree to use an appropriate method of
birth control throughout their participation in this study due to the teratogenic

A Phase 1b/2 Trial of the Safety and Microbiological Activity of Bacteriophage Therapy in Cystic Fibrosis Subjects Colonized With Pseudomonas Aeruginosa
This is a phase 1b/2 study of a single dose of intravenous (IV) bacteriophage in males and
non-pregnant females, at least 18 years old, diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). This
clinical trial is designed to assess the safety and microbiological activity of bacteriophage
product WRAIR-PAM-CF1, directed at Pseudomonas aeruginosa in clinically stable CF individuals
chronically colonized with P. aeruginosa. WRAIR-PAM-CF1 is a 4 component anti-pseudomonal
bacteriophage mixture containing between 4 x 10^7 and 4 x 10^9 Plaque Forming Units (PFU) of
bacteriophage. Enrollment will occur at up to 20 clinical sites in the United States. In
stage 1, two eligible subjects will be assigned to each of the three dosing arms receiving a
single dosage of the IV bacteriophage therapy (4 x 10^7 PFU, 4 x 10^8 PFU, and 4 x 10^9 PFU;
total of 6 sentinel subjects), followed by 30 ± 7 days observation period. If no SAEs
(related to the study product) are identified during the 96 hours after bacteriophage
administration for all Sentinel Subjects in Stage 1, the study will proceed to Stage 2. In
Stage 2a, 32 subjects will be enrolled into one of 4 arms (placebo IV, 4 x 10^7 PFU, 4 x 10^8
PFU, and 4 x 10^9 PFU) in a 1:1:1:1 allocation. An interim analysis will be performed after
all subjects have completed follow up visit 7 on Day 30 to select the IV bacteriophage dose
with the most favorable safety and microbiological activity profile. During Stage 2b,
subjects will be randomized into the bacteriophage (dose selected based on Interim Analysis
following Stage 2a) or placebo arm. The final sample size is expected to be up to 72 subjects
total with up to 25 subjects in the placebo arm and up to 25 subjects in the Stage 2b
bacteriophage dose.

Lung-MAP: A Master Screening Protocol for Previously-Treated Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
This screening and multi-sub-study randomized phase II/III trial will establish a method for
genomic screening of similar large cancer populations followed by assigning and accruing
simultaneously to a multi-sub-study hybrid Master Protocol (Lung-MAP). The type of cancer
trait (biomarker) will determine to which sub-study, within this protocol, a participant will
be assigned to compare new targeted cancer therapy, designed to block the growth and spread
of cancer, or combinations to standard of care therapy with the ultimate goal of being able
to approve new targeted therapies in this setting. In addition, the protocol includes
non-match sub-studies which will include all screened patients not eligible for any of the
biomarker-driven sub-studies.
5.1 Registration
Step 0:
1. Patients who need the fresh biopsy must also submit whole blood for ctDNA testing (see
Section 15.3). These patients must be registered to Step 0 to obtain a patient ID
number for the submission.
Patients registered to Step 0 are not registered to the LUNGMAP protocol. To
participate in LUNGMAP, patients must be registered to Step 1 after evaluation of
patient eligibility, including tumor tissue adequacy, per protocol Section 5.1, Step
1.
Patients registered at Step 0 must use the same SWOG patient ID for registration at
Step 1.
Step 1:
2. Patients must have pathologically proven non-small cell lung cancer (all histologic
types) confirmed by tumor biopsy and/or fine-needle aspiration. Disease must be Stage
IV as defined in Section 4.0, or recurrent. The primary diagnosis of non-small cell
lung cancer should be established using the current WHO/IASLC-classification of
Thoracic Malignancies. All histologies, including mixed, are allowed.
3. Patients must either be eligible to be screened at progression on prior treatment or
to be pre-screened prior to progression on current treatment.
These criteria are:
1. Screening at progression on prior treatment:
To be eligible for screening at progression, patients must have received at least
one line of systemic therapy for any stage of disease (Stages I-IV) and must have
progressed during or following their most recent line of therapy.
• For patients whose prior systemic therapy was for Stage I-III disease only
(i.e. patient has not received any treatment for Stage IV or recurrent
disease), disease progression on platinum-based chemotherapy must have
occurred within one year from the last date that patient received that
therapy. For patients treated with consolidation anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1
therapy for Stage III disease, disease progression on consolidation
anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 therapy must have occurred within one year from the
date or initiation of such therapy.
• For patients whose prior therapy was for Stage IV or recurrent disease, the
patient must have received at least one line of a platinum-based
chemotherapy regimen or anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy, alone or in combination
(e.g. Nivolumab or Pembrolizumab).
2. Pre-Screening prior to progression on current treatment:
To be eligible for pre-screening, current treatment must be for Stage IV or recurrent
disease and patient must have received at least one dose of the current regimen.
Patients must have previously received or currently be receiving a platinum-based
chemotherapy regimen or anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy, alone or in combination (e.g.
Nivolumab or Pembrolizumab). Patients on first-line treatment are eligible upon
receiving Cycle 1, Day 1 infusion. Note: Patients will not receive their sub-study
assignment until they progress and the LUNGMAP Notice of Progression is submitted.
4. Patients must have adequate tumor tissue available, defined as ≥ 20% tumor cells and ≥
0.2 mm3 tumor volume.
• The local interpreting pathologist must review the specimen.
• The pathologist must sign the LUNGMAP Local Pathology Review Form confirming
tissue adequacy prior to Step 1 registration.
Patients must agree to have this tissue submitted to Foundation Medicine for common
broad platform CLIA biomarker profiling, PD-L1, and c-MET IHC (see Section 15.2). If
archival tumor material is exhausted, then a new fresh tumor biopsy that is
formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) must be obtained. Patients who need the
fresh biopsy must also submit whole peripheral blood for ctDNA testing. A tumor block
or FFPE slides 4-5 microns thick must be submitted. Bone biopsies are not allowed. If
FFPE slides are to be submitted, at least 12 unstained slides plus an H&E stained
slide, or 13 unstained slides must be submitted. However, it is strongly recommended
that 20 FFPE slides be submitted. Note: Previous next-generation DNA sequencing (NGS)
will be repeated if done outside this study for sub-study assignment.
Patients must agree to have any tissue that remains after testing retained for the use
of sub-study Translational Medicine (TM) studies at the time of consent the patient is
enrolled in.
5. Patients with known EGFR sensitizing mutations, EGFR T790M mutation, ALK gene fusion,
ROS 1 gene rearrangement, or BRAF V600E mutation are not eligible unless they have
progressed following all standard of care targeted therapy. EGFR/ALK/ROS/BRAF testing
is not required prior to Step 1 registration, as it is included in the Foundation One
testing for screening/pre-screening.
6. Patients must have Zubrod performance status 0-1 (see Section 10.2) documented within
28 days prior to Step 1 registration.
7. Patients must be ≥ 18 years of age.
8. Patients must also be offered participation in banking for future use of specimens as
described in Section 15.0.
9. Patients must be willing to provide prior smoking history as required on the LUNGMAP
Onstudy Form.
10. As a part of the OPEN registration process (see Section 13.4 for OPEN access
instructions) the treating institution's identity is provided in order to ensure that
the current (within 365 days) date of institutional review board approval for this
study has been entered in the system.
11. Patients must be informed of the investigational nature of this study and must sign
and give written informed consent in accordance with institutional and federal
guidelines.
12. U.S. patients who can complete the survey and the interview by telephone or email in
English must be offered participation in the S1400GEN Survey Ancillary Study if local
institution's policies allow participants to receive the Amazon gift card (see
Sections 15.7 and 18.5). Patients at institutions that cannot offer the survey must
still participate in the main study.
A Study of Repotrectinib in Pediatric and Young Adult Subjects Harboring ALK, ROS1, OR NTRK1-3 Alterations
Phase 1 will evaluate the safety and tolerability at different dose levels of repotrectinib
in pediatric and young adult subjects with advanced or metastatic malignancies harboring
anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), receptor tyrosine kinase encoded by the gene ROS1 (ROS1),
or neurotrophic receptor kinase genes encoding TRK kinase family (NTRK1-3) alterations to
estimate the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) or Maximum Administered Dose (MAD) and select the
Pediatric Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D).
Phase 2 will determine the anti-tumor activity of repotrectinib in pediatric subjects with
advanced or metastatic malignancies harboring ALK, ROS1, or NTRK1-3 alterations.
1. Documented genetic ALK, ROS1, or NTRK1-3 alteration (point mutation, fusion,
amplification) as identified by local testing in a Clinical Laboratory Improvement
Amendments (CLIA) laboratory in the US or equivalently accredited diagnostic lab
outside the United States (US) is required.
2. Phase 1: Age <12 years; Phase 2: Age 12- 25 years
3. Prior cytotoxic chemotherapy is allowed.
4. Prior immunotherapy is allowed.
5. Resolution of all acute toxic effects (excluding alopecia) of any prior anti-cancer
therapy to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events
(NCI CTCAE) Version 4.03 Grade less than or equal to 1.
6. All subjects must have measurable disease by RECIST v1.1 or Response Assessment in
Neuro-Oncology Criteria (RANO) criteria at time of enrollment.
7. Subjects with a primary CNS tumor or CNS metastases must be neurologically stable on a
stable or decreasing dose of steroids for at least 14 days prior to enrollment.
8. Subjects must have a Lansky (< 16 years) or Karnofsky (≥ 16 years) score of at least
50.
9. Life expectancy greater than or equal to 12 weeks.
10. Adequate hematologic, renal and hepatic function.
Phase 2
Inclusion Criteria:
1. Cohort Specific
Inclusion Criteria:
• Cohort 1: Subjects with NTRK fusion gene positive (NTRK+) advanced solid tumors
(including primary CNS tumors), that are tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK) TKI
naïve;
• Cohort 2: subjects with NTRK+ advanced solid tumors (including primary CNS
tumors), that are TRK TKI pre-treated;
• Cohort 3: subjects with tumors or ALCL characterized by other ALK/ROS1/NTRK
alterations or NTRK fusions without centrally confirmed measurable disease or not
otherwise eligible for Cohort 1 or 2.
2. Subjects in Cohorts 1 and 2 must have prospectively confirmed measurable disease by
BICR prior to enrollment.
Key Exclusion Criteria (Phase 1 and Phase 2):
1. Subjects with neuroblastoma with only bone marrow disease evaluable by bone marrow
aspiration only.
2. Major surgery within 14 days (2 weeks) of start of repotrectinib treatment. Central
venous access (Broviac, Mediport, etc.) placement does not meet criteria for major
surgery.
3. Known active infections (bacterial, fungal, viral including HIV positivity).
4. Gastrointestinal disease (e.g., Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or short gut
syndrome) or other malabsorption syndromes that would impact drug absorption.
5. Any of the following cardiac criteria:
• Mean resting corrected QT interval (ECG interval measured from the onset of the
QRS complex to the end of the T wave) for heart rate (QTc) > 480 msec obtained
from three ECGs, using the screening clinic ECG machine-derived QTc value
• Any clinically important abnormalities in rhythm, conduction, or morphology of
resting ECG (e.g., complete left bundle branch block, third degree heart block,
second degree heart block, PR interval > 250 msec)
• Any 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 any concomitant medication known to prolong the QT interval
6. Peripheral neuropathy of CTCAE ≥grade 2.
7. Subjects being treated with or anticipating the need for treatment with strong CYP3A4
inhibitors or inducers.
