A Phase 2 Study of the MEK Inhibitor Trametinib (NSC# 763093) in Children With Relapsed or Refractory Juvenile Myelomonocytic Leukemia

This phase II trial studies how well trametinib works in treating patients with juvenile
myelomonocytic leukemia that has come back or does not respond to treatment. Trametinib may
stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the objective response rate to trametinib in children with recurrent or
refractory juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To further define and describe the toxicities of single agent trametinib in children with
recurrent or refractory JMML.

II. To further characterize the pharmacokinetics of trametinib in children with recurrent or
refractory JMML.

III. To prospectively evaluate mutant allele burden as a marker of disease activity in JMML.

IV. To measure the objective response rate to 12 cycles of trametinib in children with
recurrent or refractory JMML.

V. To measure the rate of complete responses in children with recurrent or refractory JMML.

VI. To measure the duration of response among responders.

TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To describe the distribution of JMML diagnostic criteria in children with recurrent or
refractory JMML.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive trametinib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-28. Treatment repeats every
28 days for up to 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up annually for up to 5 years.

(JMML) at original diagnosis and currently have relapsed or refractory disease; the
diagnosis is made based on the following criteria

- JMML category 1 (all of the following): the diagnostic criteria must include all
features in category 1 and EITHER (i) one of the features in category 2 OR (ii)

criteria are not present):

intensive frontline therapy or at least 2 cycles of a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)
demethylating agent with persistence of disease, defined by clinical symptoms or the
presence of a clonal abnormality; frontline therapy is defined as one cycle of
intravenous chemotherapy that includes of any of the following agents: fludarabine,
cytarabine, or any anthracycline but specifically excludes oral 6-mercaptopurine;
frontline therapy will also include any conditioning regimen as part of a stem cell
transplant; patients who transform to AML at any point with more than 20% blasts are
not eligible for this trial

- Patients must have a Lansky or Karnofsky performance status score of >= 50,
corresponding to Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) categories 0, 1 or 2; use
Karnofsky for patients > 16 years of age and Lansky for patients =< 16 years of age;
patients 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

- Patients must have fully recovered from the acute toxic effects of all prior
chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiotherapy prior to study enrollment

- Myelosuppressive chemotherapy: patients must have completely recovered from all
acute toxic effects of chemotherapy, immunotherapy or radiotherapy prior to study
enrollment; at least 14 days must have elapsed since the completion of cytotoxic
therapy, with the exception of hydroxyurea

- Note: cytoreduction with hydroxyurea can be initiated and continued for up
to 24 hours prior to the start of protocol therapy

- Hematopoietic growth factors: at least 14 days after the last dose of a
long-acting growth factor (e.g., pegfilgrastim) or 7 days for short-acting growth
factor; for agents that have known adverse events occurring beyond 7 days after
administration, this period must be extended beyond the time during which adverse
events are known to occur

- Biologic (anti-neoplastic agent): at least 7 days must have elapsed since
completion of therapy with a biologic agent; for agents that have known adverse
events occurring beyond 7 days after administration, this period prior to
enrollment must be extended beyond the time during which adverse events are known
to occur

- Monoclonal antibodies:

- At least 30 days after the completion of any type of immunotherapy, e.g.
tumor vaccines

- At least 3 half-lives must have elapsed since prior therapy that included a
monoclonal antibody

- Radiotherapy:

- >= 2 weeks must have elapsed since local palliative external radiation
therapy (XRT) (small port)

- >= 6 months must have elapsed if prior craniospinal XRT was received, if >=
50% of the pelvis was irradiated, or if traumatic brain injury (TBI) was
received

- >= 4 weeks must have elapsed if other substantial bone marrow irradiation
was given

- Stem cell transplant or rescue without TBI: no evidence of active graft versus
(vs.) host disease and >= 3 months must have elapsed since transplant

- Patients must not be known to be refractory to red blood cell or platelet transfusions

- Creatinine clearance or radioisotope glomerular filtration rate (GFR) >= 70
mL/min/1.73 m^2 or a serum creatinine based on age/gender as follows:
