Ivosidenib in Treating Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors, Lymphoma, or Histiocytic Disorders With IDH1 Mutations (A Pediatric MATCH Treatment Trial)

This phase II Pediatric MATCH trial studies how well ivosidenib works in treating patients with solid tumors that have spread to other places in the body (advanced), lymphoma, or histiocytic disorders that have IDH1 genetic alterations (mutations). Ivosidenib may block the growth of cancer cells that have specific genetic changes in an important signaling pathway called the IDH pathway.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To determine the objective response rate (ORR; complete response + partial response) in pediatric patients treated with AG-120 (ivosidenib) with advanced solid tumors (including central nervous system \[CNS\] tumors), lymphomas or histiocytic disorders that harbor activating genetic alterations in the IDH1 pathway.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To estimate the progression free survival in pediatric patients treated with AG-120 (ivosidenib) with advanced solid tumors (including CNS tumors), lymphomas or histiocytic disorders that harbor activating genetic alterations in the IDH1 pathway.

II. To obtain information about the tolerability of AG-120 (ivosidenib) in children and adolescents with relapsed or refractory cancer.

III. To provide preliminary estimates of the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of AG-120 (ivosidenib) in children and adolescents with relapsed or refractory cancer.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate other biomarkers as predictors of response to AG-120 (ivosidenib) and specifically, whether tumors that harbor different missense mutations or fusions will demonstrate differential response to AG-120 (ivosidenib) treatment.

II. To explore approaches to the profiling changes in tumor genomics over time through evaluation of circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).

OUTLINE:

Patients receive ivosidenib orally (PO) once daily (QD). Cycles repeat every 28 days for up to 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up periodically.

Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:
