4-18 years

Phase:

PHASE1

Brief Summary

This is a phase 1 study of pegylated arginine deiminase (ADI-PEG 20) in pediatric patients who deficient in the expression of tumor argininosuccinate synthetase, and have failed prior treatments. The ...

Detailed Description

This phase 1 study will use a classic 3 dose levels by 3 patients per dose level design. Once the maximum tolerated dose is reached, additional patients may be enrolled at that dose level.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Prior diagnosis of failed current standard treatment(s), or AEs associated with prior systemic agent(s) that resulted in discontinuance of that agent(s).
  • Argininosuccinate synthetase deficient tumor.
  • Measurable disease as assessed by \>5% blasts on bone marrow aspirate for patients with leukemia or using RECIST 1.1 criteria for solid tumors.
  • Age 4 to ≤ 18 years.
  • No prior systemic treatment for the tumor in the last 2 weeks for solid tumors and 1 week for leukemia, except hydroxyurea used only to control very high WBC.
  • Fully recovered from any prior surgery and no major surgery within 4 weeks of initiating treatment. Surgery for placement of vascular access devices is acceptable.

  • For solid tumor subjects only: Platelets \>50,000/µL.
  • For solid tumor subjects only: Serum uric acid ≤ 8 mg/dL (with or without medication control).
  • Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x the upper limit of normal range, or, if serum creatinine \>1.5 x the upper limit of normal range, then the creatinine clearance must be ≥ 60 mL/min.

Exclusion

  • Serious infection requiring treatment with systemically administered antibiotics at the time of study entrance.
  • Pregnancy or lactation.
  • Expected non-compliance.
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness.
