Testing the Anti-cancer Drug, Rogaratinib (BAY 1163877), for Treatment of Advanced Sarcoma With Alteration in Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor (FGFR 1-4), and in Patients With SDH-deficient Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST)

Clinical Trial Summary

This phase II trial studies the effect of rogaratinib in treating patients with sarcoma with
a change in a group of proteins called fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs) or
SDH-deficient gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). Rogaratinib may stop the growth of tumor
cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Enrollment Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:
- Participant must have histologically confirmed sarcoma with FGFR alteration identified
by next-generation sequencing profiling with the exception of SDH-deficient GIST who
can be enrolled regardless of FGFR status. Initial testing can be performed on
archival tissue. Patients must have locally advanced or metastatic disease that is not
amenable to surgery
- Presence of measurable disease: Patient must have measurable disease
- Patients must have progressed following at least one standard prior chemotherapy
regimen with the exception of SDH-deficient GIST for which there is no standard of
care
- Participant must be willing to undergo pre-treatment biopsy if disease site is
amenable to biopsy and low risk for the biopsy procedure. If biopsy is not possible,
eligibility may be approved after discussion with the Study Chair. Of note, a minimum
of 15 participants in each arm open to stage 2 should have disease amenable to biopsy.
For those arms open in stage 1, all patients should have biopsiable disease.
- Age >= 18 years
- Because no dosing or adverse event data are currently available on the use of
rogaratinib (BAY 1163877) in patients <18 years of age, children are excluded
from this study
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status =< 2 (Karnofsky >= 60%)
- Hemoglobin >= 8.0 g/dL
- Absolute neutrophil count >= 1,000/mcL
- Platelets >= 100,000/mcL
- Total bilirubin =< 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN)
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase
[SGOT])/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase [SGPT]) =<
3.0 x institutional ULN (unless liver metastases are present in which case it must be
=< 5 x ULN)
- Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) >= 60 mL/min/1.73 m^2 (using the Chronic Kidney
Disease Epidemiology Collaboration [CKD-EPI] formula)
- Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients on effective non-CYP3A4
interacting anti-retroviral therapy with undetectable viral load within 6 months are
eligible for this trial
- For patients with evidence of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, the HBV viral
load must be undetectable on suppressive therapy, if indicated
- Patients with a history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection must have been treated
and cured. For patients with HCV infection who are currently on treatment, they are
eligible if they have an undetectable HCV viral load
- Patients with treated brain metastases are eligible if follow-up brain imaging after
central nervous system (CNS)-directed therapy shows no evidence of progression
- Patients must be disease-free of prior invasive malignancies for > 5 years with the
exception of curatively-treated basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or
carcinoma in situ of the cervix
- NOTE: If there is a history of prior malignancy, patients must not be receiving
other specific treatment for that cancer
- Patients should have completed prior treatment for their cancer: chemotherapy or
radiotherapy must have been completed for greater than 2 weeks (6 weeks for
nitrosoureas or mitomycin C) prior to entering the study
- Patients should have recovered from adverse events due to prior anti-cancer therapy
(i.e., have residual toxicities > grade 1) with the exception of alopecia
- Patients with known history or current symptoms of cardiac disease, or history of
treatment with cardiotoxic agents, should have a clinical risk assessment of cardiac
function using the New York Heart Association functional classification. To be
eligible for this trial, patients should be class 2B or better
- Patients must have a QTc interval length of below 450 millisecond (msec)
- Participant is willing to comply with the protocol for the duration of the study
including undergoing treatment and scheduled visits and examinations including follow
up
- Participant must be able to swallow and maintain pills
- Women of childbearing potential must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test
within 28 days of initial dose of rogaratinib (BAY 1163877), and again within 7 days
prior to treatment on day 1. If screening occurs within 7 days of day 1, only one
pregnancy test is required
- The effects of rogaratinib (BAY 1163877) on the developing human fetus are unknown.
For this reason and because kinase inhibitor agents are known to be teratogenic, women
of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal
or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry, for the duration
of study participation, and 4 months after completion of rogaratinib (BAY 1163877).
Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is
participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately. Men
treated or enrolled on this protocol must also agree to use adequate contraception
prior to the study, for the duration of study participation, and 4 months after
completion of rogaratinib (BAY 1163877) administration
- Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
Participants with impaired decision-making capacity (IDMC) who have a
legally-authorized representative (LAR) and/or family member available will also be
eligible
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients who are receiving any other investigational agents
- History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic
composition to rogaratinib (BAY 1163877)
- Concomitant administration with sensitive substrates/narrow therapeutic index drugs of
CYP3A4, P-gp BCRP, MATE1, and MATE2K, and strong inhibitors and inducers of CYP3A4
should be avoided. Use caution with strong inhibitors and inducers of P-glycoprotein
(gp). Because the lists of these agents are constantly changing, it is important to
regularly consult a frequently-updated medical reference. As part of the
enrollment/informed consent procedures, the patient will be counseled on the risk of
interactions with other agents, and what to do if new medications need to be
prescribed or if the patient is considering a new over-the-counter medicine or herbal
product
- Concomitant administration of medications that prolong QT/QTc interval is prohibited
in accordance with the published FDA guidance "E14 Clinical Evaluation of QT/QTc
Interval Prolongation and Proarrhythmic Potential for Non-Antiarrhythmic Drugs".
- Patients with disturbed calcium and/or phosphate metabolism are excluded from this
study
- Patients with uncontrolled intercurrent illness
- Patients with psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with
study requirements
- Pregnant women are excluded from this study because rogaratinib (BAY 1163877) is
kinase inhibitor agent with the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects.
Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants
secondary to treatment of the mother with rogaratinib (BAY 1163877), breastfeeding
should be discontinued if the mother is treated with rogaratinib (BAY 1163877)
