Brief Summary:
This phase II pediatric MATCH trial studies how well tipifarnib works in treating patients with solid tumors that have recurred or spread to other places in the body (advanced), lymphoma, or histiocytic disorders, that have a genetic alteration in the gene HRAS. Tipifarnib may block the growth of cancer cells that have specific genetic changes in a gene called HRAS and may reduce tumor size.

Detailed Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To determine the objective response rate (ORR; complete response + partial response) in pediatric patients treated with tipifarnib with advanced solid tumors (including central nervous system [CNS] tumors), lymphomas or histiocytic disorders that harbor activating genetic alterations in HRAS.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To estimate the progression free survival in pediatric patients treated with tipifarnib with advanced solid tumors (including CNS tumors), lymphomas or histiocytic disorders that harbor activating genetic alterations in HRAS.

II. To obtain information about the tolerability of tipifarnib in children and adolescents with relapsed or refractory cancer.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate other biomarkers as predictors of response to tipifarnib and specifically, whether tumors that harbor different missense mutations or variant allele frequency will demonstrate differential response to tipifarnib treatment.

II. To explore approaches to profiling changes in tumor genomics over time through evaluation of circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).

OUTLINE:

Patients receive tipifarnib orally (PO) or via nasogastric or gastric tube twice daily (BID) on days 1-7 and 15-21. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 26 cycles (2 years) in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo tumor disease evaluation with positron emission tomography (PET) scan, computed tomography (CT) scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or meta-iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scintigraphy throughout the trial. Patients may undergo bone marrow aspiration or biopsy at baseline, or if there is suspicion of bone marrow metastasis, or when a complete or partial response is identified, or if there is disease progression in the marrow suspected. Patients may undergo blood specimen collections throughout the trial.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days, then periodically thereafter.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Objective response rate (complete response + partial response) in pediatric patients treated with tipifarnib [ Time Frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment, up to 2 years ]
    A responder is defined as a patient who achieves a best response of partial response or complete response on the study. Response rates will be calculated as the percent of evaluable patients who are responders, and confidence intervals will be constructed using the Wilson score interval method.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Progression free survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: From the initiation of subprotocol treatment, until disease progression or disease recurrence or death from any cause, assessed up to 7 years ]
    PFS along with the confidence intervals will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

  2. Percentage of patients experiencing grade 3 or higher adverse events [ Time Frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment, up to 2 years ]
    Percentage of patients experiencing grade 3 or higher adverse events will be evaluated according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0. All patients who receive at least one dose of protocol therapy will be considered in the evaluation of toxicity.


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Biomarker analysis [ Time Frame: Up to 7 years ]
    Will evaluate other biomarkers as predictors of response to tipifarnib and whether tumors that harbor different missense mutations or fusions will demonstrate differential response to treatment.

  2. Profiling changes in tumor genomics [ Time Frame: Baseline, assessed up to 7 years ]
    Will explore approaches to the profiling changes in tumor genomics over time through evaluation of circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid.

  • All patients and/or their parents or legally authorized representatives must sign a written informed consent. Assent, when appropriate, will be obtained according to institutional guidelines

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnant or breast-feeding women will not be entered on this study due to risks of fetal and teratogenic adverse events as seen in animal/human studies. Pregnancy tests must be obtained in girls who are post-menarchal.
