Pediatric MATCH Master and Screening Protocol

What is the Purpose of this Study?

This study focuses on pediatric patients who have cancer that has become worse following treatment, or standard therapy does not exist for their type of cancer. The purpose of the study is to learn how well tumors that have specific genetic changes (mutations) respond to drugs that “target” those changes. This combination of a tumor with a mutation and a drug that aims at that mutation is called a “match.” Participants in the screening part of the study will give permission to have the results of a tumor mutation test (already performed by their care team) submitted for review. The results show which of their tumor’s mutations might be targeted by study drugs and will determine whether they will be offered the option of participating in Step 2 of the study (treatment). If the tumor has a mutation targeted by one or more of the investigational drugs used in the study, the patient will be assigned to the study treatment that uses that drug.

Please note: Samples that have been decalcified using standardly utilized acid-based decalcification methods are not generally suitable for MATCH study testing; the nucleic acids will have been degraded in the decalcification process
ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR ENROLLMENT ONTO APEC1621SC: Tumor molecular profiling report availability requirement for Stage 2 of Pediatric MATCH (patients enrolled starting 2022): In stage 2 of the study, no tumor samples will be submitted for centralized clinical tumor profiling; instead, a tumor molecular profiling report from a College of American Pathologists (CAP)/ Clinical Laboratory Improvements Amendments (CLIA)-approved testing laboratory must be submitted for review by the Molecular Review Committee (MRC)
This molecular profiling must have been performed on a tumor sample that was obtained at any point after initial tumor recurrence/progression and must be accompanied by a pathology report for the same tumor specimen; a molecular profiling report for a diagnostic (pre-treatment) tumor sample will be acceptable for enrollment onto Pediatric MATCH only for children with high-grade gliomas of the brainstem (diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas) or thalamus. In the event that molecular profiling reports are available from multiple timepoints, the most recent report should be prioritized for study submission

ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR ENROLLMENT ONTO APEC1621SC: Patients must have radiographically measurable disease; measurable disease based on imaging obtained less than or equal to 56 days prior to enrollment; patients with neuroblastoma who do not have measurable disease but have metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) positive (+) evaluable disease are eligible; measurable disease in patients with CNS involvement is defined as any lesion that is at minimum 10 mm in one dimension on standard magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT)
