About

RATIONALE: MLN8237 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of MLN8237 and to see how well it works in treating young patients with relapsed or refractory solid tumors

Full description

1.1 Primary Aims 1.1.1 To estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase II dose of MLN8237 administered orally once daily for 7 days every 21 days to children with refractory solid tumors. 1.1.2 To estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase II dose of MLN8237 administered orally twice daily for 7 days every 21 days to children with refractory solid tumors. 1.1.3 To define and describe the toxicities of MLN8237 administered on this schedule.

1.1.4 To characterize the pharmacokinetics of MLN8237 in children with refractory cancer.

1.2 Secondary Aims 1.2.1 To preliminarily define the antitumor activity of MLN8237 within the confines of a Phase I study. 1.2.2 To obtain initial Phase II efficacy data on the anti-tumor activity of MLN8237 in children with relapsed-refractory neuroblastoma using the once daily dosing schedule. 1.2.3 To explore the relationship between polymorphic variations in the UDPglucuronyltransferase gene UGT1A1 and exposure to MLN8237.

1.2.4 To assess two common polymorphic variants in the Aurora A kinase gene (Phe31Ile and Val57Ile) thought to potentially influence tumorigenesis. 1.2.5 To preliminarily examine the relationsh

Inclusion criteria

• Diagnosis: Patients must have had histologic verification of malignancy at original diagnosis or relapse except in patients with intrinsic brain stem tumors, optic pathway gliomas, or patients with pineal tumors and elevations of CSF or serum tumor markers including alpha-fetaprotein or beta-HCG.

• Performance Level: Karnofsky >/= 50% for patients > 16 years of age and Lansky
