Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT06528691
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE.

  • - To determine the overall response rate of entrectinib when used as first line therapy in patients who are younger than 3 years of age with NTRK1/2/3- or ROS1-fused high-grade glioma (HGG) (Cohort 1).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES.
  • - To estimate the 2-year and 5-year progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients who are younger than 3 years of age with NTRK1/2/3- or ROS1-fused HGG treated with entrectinib as first line therapy (Cohort 1).
  • - To estimate the duration of response (DOR) in patients who are younger than 3 years of age with NTRK1/2/3- or ROS1-fused HGG treated with entrectinib as first line therapy (Cohort 1).
  • - To evaluate the fraction of patients with NTRK1/2/3- or ROS1-fused HGG treated who have second surgeries and a gross-total resection after treatment with entrectinib is achieved, overall and by country and hospital (Cohort 1).
  • - To describe the overall response rate of entrectinib when used as first line therapy in patients who are younger than 3 years of age with NTRK1/2/3- or ROS1-fused CNS tumors other than HGG (Cohort 2).
  • - To estimate the 2-year and 5-year PFS and OS in patients who are younger than 3 years of age with NTRK1/2/3- or ROS1-fused CNS tumors other than HGG treated with entrectinib as first line therapy (Cohort 2).
  • - To estimate the duration of response (DOR) in patients who are younger than 3 years of age with NTRK1/2/3- or ROS1-fused CNS tumors other than HGG treated with entrectinib as first line therapy (Cohort 2).
  • - To evaluate the fraction of patients with NTRK1/2/3- or ROS1-fused CNS tumors other than HGG who have second surgeries and a gross-total resection after treatment with entrectinib is achieved, overall and by country and hospital (Cohort 2).
  • - To describe toxicities experienced by patients younger than 3 years of age treated with entrectinib (Cohort 1 and 2).
  • - To evaluate number of patients that are screened for the study and eligible versus enrolled and treated with entrectinib (Cohort 1 and 2).
  • - To measure the time intervals (days) from time of initial diagnostic surgery to screening and enrollment in this study (Cohort 1 and 2).
The trial will have 2 cohorts: Cohort 1: patients diagnosed with NTRK1/2/3- or ROS1-fused high-grade glioma (HGG) and Cohort 2: patients diagnosed with NTRK1/2/3- or ROS1-fused CNS tumors other than HGG. Patients receive entrectinib enterally once daily (QD) on days 1-28 of each cycle. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 24 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients requiring bridging therapy prior to starting entrectinib may receive cyclophosphamide intravenously (IV) over 1 hour on day 1, etoposide IV over 1 hour on day 1 and 2, carboplatin IV over 1 hour on day 2, filgrastim subcutaneously (SC) or IV or pegfilgrastim SC on day 3. A gross total resection or significant debulking may become possible if a response to entrectinib is seen. If surgical resection is performed and a gross total resection is achieved, 24 cycles of entrectinib will be completed, including those before and after surgery. After treatment, patients will be followed for 5 years.
