Brief Summary:

This study evaluates the use of carfilzomib in combination with cyclophosphamide and etoposide for children with relapsed/refractory solid tumors or leukemia. The medications cyclophosphamide and etoposide are standard drugs often used together for the treatment of cancer in children with solid tumors or leukemia.

Carfilzomib is FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved in the United States for adults with multiple myeloma (a type of cancer). However, this drug is not approved to treat children with relapsed/refractory solid tumors or leukemia. With this research, we plan to determine the DLTs and MTD of Carfilzomib given in combination with cyclophosphamide and etoposide in pediatric patients with relapsed/refractory leukemias and solid tumors.


Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Relapsed Solid Tumors Refractory Solid Tumors Relapsed Leukemia Refractory Leukemia Drug: Carfilzomib Drug: Cyclophosphamide Drug: Etoposide Phase 1

Detailed Description:

Part 1 of the study will include a dose escalation based on Dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) until the MTD or highest dose level is reached, whichever comes first.

At the MTD or highest dose level (if no MTD is reached), an additional 6 patients will be enrolled to further evaluate safety of the regimen (Part 2).

Part 2 of this study will enroll additional patients at the highest tolerable dose found in Part 1 in order to get more information on side effects and make sure the dose is tolerable

Once an MTD is determined for Strata A or B, if the Study Principal Investigator determines that the study treatment should not be further pursued due to safety or enrollment barriers, the expansion Part or the study will be discontinued.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. To determine the DLTs and MTD of carfilzomib given in combination with cyclophosphamide and etoposide in pediatric patients with relapsed/refractory leukemias and solid tumors [ Time Frame: 30 Days post treatment initiation ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. To evaluate toxicities of carfilzomib in the pediatric population when combined with conventional chemotherapy. [ Time Frame: Treatment initiation through 30 days post treatment ]
    Record AEs and SAEs

  2. Determine patient response rate (CR, PR, SD, PD) with this regimen [ Time Frame: Treatment initiation through 30 days post treatment ]
  3. To measure if circulating plasma proteosome (cProt) levels post treatment correlate with response to therapy and overall survival. [ Time Frame: Treatment initiation through 30 days post treatment ]
  4. To measure if the levels of proteasome activity and resistance to carfilzomib correlates with toxicity and/or response to treatment [ Time Frame: Treatment initiation through 30 days post treatment ]
  5. To measure if inhibition of proteasome activity by carfilzomib results in alteration in a number of autophagy and apoptosis related proteins, providing means to evaluate correlates of activity of carfilzomib [ Time Frame: Treatment initiation through 30 days post treatment ]
  6. To measure the level of proteosome inhibition in patient PBMCs before and during treatment by determination of the level of protein ubiquitination [ Time Frame: Treatment initiation through 30 days post treatment ]
  7. To determine in vitro sensitivity of patient leukemias and solid tumors to carfilzomib alone and in combination with study chemotherapeutic agents in order to generate a predictive model of drug sensitivity [ Time Frame: Treatment initiation through 30 days post treatment ]
  8. To perform whole exome sequencing (WES) and RNA seq on patient leukemia and solid tumor samples and WES on germ line DNA in order to determine potential mechanisms of drug sensitivity or resistance [ Time Frame: Treatment initiation through 30 days post treatment ]

Ages Eligible for Study:   6 Months to 29 Years   (Child, Adult)
Sexes Eligible for Study:   All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients must have either of the following:

    1. Relapsed/refractory leukemia in 2nd or greater relapse or who have failed at least one re-induction attempt after relapse or for refractory disease. Patients must meet the WHO classification with ≥ 5% blasts in the bone marrow or must have definitive extramedullary disease (e.g. chloromas, skin lesions). Patients may have asymptomatic CNS 1 or CNS 2 disease, but not CNS 3 or symptomatic CNS disease.

      OR

    2. Relapsed/refractory non-CNS solid tumor that has not responded or has relapsed and for which no standard treatment is available. Patients may not have primary CNS tumors or CNS metastases. Lymphoma patients are permitted. Patients do not need to have measurable disease.
  2. Age 6 months - 29.99 years at enrollment
  3. Life expectancy ≥ 3 months
  4. Lansky or Karnofsky ≥50
  5. Prior therapy

    1. Patient must have fully recovered from the acute toxic effects of all prior chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy, or surgery prior to study entry.
    2. Myelosuppressive therapy- At least 14 days must have elapsed since the administration of previous therapy. Six weeks must have elapsed from the administration of nitrosureas or mitomycin C. For patients with ALL on maintenance therapy, they may be eligible if 7 days have elapsed and they are recovered from the toxic effects of the chemotherapy. This restriction does not include intrathecal chemotherapy, which is permitted.
    3. Biologic agents- At least 14 days must have elapsed since the completion of therapy with a biologic agent such as a monoclonal antibody. Seven days must have elapsed since the last dose of retinoids
