SMO/AKT/NF2/CDK Inhibitors in Progressive Meningiomas

What is the Purpose of this Study?

This study aims to determine whether tumor genetic testing would be helpful in guiding treatment for patients with a meningioma that has gotten bigger or grown back after treatment. Meningiomas are tumors that grow on the covering of the brain. Therapy for meningioma is currently the same for all patients and is not based on tumor genetic testing. This study will evaluate the effects of 4 drugs (vismodegib, GSK2256098, capivasertib, and abemaciclib) against meningioma tumors with altered genes. Researchers have looked at the DNA material (genes) that can be affected in meningioma and have found several genes that are altered (mutated). These include the genes called SMO, PTCH1, NF2, AKT1, PIK3CA, and PTEN. When these genes are altered, it can cause a tumor to grow. The 4 drugs used in this study are intended to target the altered genes. The use of vismodegib, GSK2256098, capivasertib, and abemaciclib is investigational.

Progressive OR residual disease, as defined by the following:
Residual measurable disease: residual measurable disease immediately after surgery without requirement for progression; for grade I disease, progression pre-operatively needs to be documented, with an increase in size of the measurable primary lesion on imaging by 25% or more (bidirectional area); the change must occur between scans separated by no more than 25 months; for patients with SMO/PTCH1 mutations enrolling to receive vismodegib, the change can occur between scans separated by up to 25 months; residual measurable disease will be defined by bidimensionally measurable lesions with clearly defined margins by MRI scans, with a minimum diameter of 10 mm in both dimensions
Progressive measurable disease: progression defined as an increase in size of the measurable primary lesion on imaging by 25% or more (bidirectional area); the change must occur between scans separated by no more than 25 months
Post radiation patients: patients with measurable and progressive meningioma who have received radiation are potentially eligible, but need to show evidence of progressive disease after completion of radiation; if the progressive meningioma lesion has been radiated, at least 24 weeks must have elapsed from completion of radiation to registration; if the progressive lesion is outside of the radiation field, then an interval of at least 2 weeks must have elapsed from completion of radiation to registration
Measurable disease: measurable disease is defined by a bidimensionally measurable main lesion on MRI or computed tomography (CT) images (MRI preferred) with clearly defined margins and a minimum diameter of 10 mm in both dimensions; multifocal disease is allowed
