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

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Juvenile Myelomonocytic Leukemia Neurofibromatosis Type 1 Procedure: Bone Marrow Aspiration and Biopsy Drug: Trametinib Phase 2

Detailed Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

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 rate of complete responses in children with recurrent or refractory JMML.

V. To measure the duration of response among responders.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE:

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 of each cycle. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 12 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo a bone marrow aspiration or biopsy at baseline, on day 28 of cycles 1 and 2, at all subsequent odd numbered cycles, and at end of treatment.

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

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Objective response [ Time Frame: 12 cycles (1 cycle = 28 days) ]
    Response rates will be calculated as the percent of evaluable patients who are responders, and confidence intervals will be constructed accounting for the two-stage design. A responder is defined as a patient who achieves a best response of PR or CR on the study prior to having an overall response of PD; all others will be considered non-responders.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Incidence of adverse events [ Time Frame: Up to cycle 12 (1 cycle = 28 days) ]
    Will be assessed by National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0. Will report the percentage of patients within each disease stratum who experienced a grade 3 or higher toxicity with attribution of possible, probable, or definite while on protocol therapy or within 30 days of the last dose of therapy.

  2. Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of trametinib [ Time Frame: Up to cycle 12 (1 cycle = 28 days) ]
    A descriptive analysis of pharmacokinetic parameters of trametinib will be performed to define systemic exposure, drug clearance, Trametinib concentrations, and other pharmacokinetic parameters. The PK parameters will be summarized with simple summary statistics, including means, medians, ranges, and standard deviations (if numbers and distribution permit).

  3. Trametinib concentrations [ Time Frame: Up to cycle 12 (1 cycle = 28 days) ]
    Will be measured by mass spectrometry. Will be analyzed descriptively. Values will be summarized with means and standard deviations.

  4. Mutant allele burden [ Time Frame: Up to cycle 12 (1 cycle = 28 days) ]
    Will be measured by next-generation sequencing. Will be analyzed descriptively. Values will be summarized with means and standard deviations.

  5. Complete Response [ Time Frame: 12 cycles (1 cycle = 28 days) ]
    Complete Response rates will be calculated as the percent of evaluable patients who had an overall best response of Complete Response, and confidence intervals will be constructed accounting for the two-stage design.

  6. Duration of Response [ Time Frame: 2-year ]
    The 2-year Event-Free Survival will be estimated using Kaplan-Meier methodology.
