Abstract Text | Neuroblastomas harbor ALK aberrations clinically resistant to crizotinib yet sensitive pre-clinically to the third-generation ALK inhibitor lorlatinib. We conducted a first-in-child study evaluating lorlatinib with and without chemotherapy in children and adults with relapsed or refractory ALK-driven neuroblastoma. The trial is ongoing, and we report here on three cohorts that have met pre-specified primary endpoints: lorlatinib as a single agent in children (12 months to <18 years); lorlatinib as a single agent in adults (≥18 years); and lorlatinib in combination with topotecan/cyclophosphamide in children (<18 years). Primary endpoints were safety, pharmacokinetics and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D). Secondary endpoints were response rate and 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) response. Lorlatinib was evaluated at 45-115 mg/m2/dose in children and 100-150 mg in adults. Common adverse events (AEs) were hypertriglyceridemia (90%), hypercholesterolemia (79%) and weight gain (87%). Neurobehavioral AEs occurred mainly in adults and resolved with dose hold/reduction. The RP2D of lorlatinib with and without chemotherapy in children was 115 mg/m2. The single-agent adult RP2D was 150 mg. The single-agent response rate (complete/partial/minor) for <18 years was 30%; for ≥18 years, 67%; and for chemotherapy combination in <18 years, 63%; and 13 of 27 (48%) responders achieved MIBG complete responses, supporting lorlatinib's rapid translation into active phase 3 trials for patients with newly diagnosed high-risk, ALK-driven neuroblastoma.

ALK | F1245Y | missense | unknown | ALK F1245Y lies within the protein kinase domain of the Alk protein (UniProt.org). F1245Y has been identified in the scientific literature (PMID: 37012551, PMID: 30523111), but has not been biochemically characterized and therefore, its effect on Alk protein function is unknown (PubMed, Aug 2024). |

ALK act mut | neuroblastoma | sensitive | Cyclophosphamide + Lorlatinib + Topotecan | Phase I | Actionable | In a Phase I trial, the combination of Lorbrena (lorlatinib), Topotecan, and Cytoxan (cyclophosphamide) treatment was well tolerated and resulted in a modified response rate of 63% (5/8) in pediatric patients with neuroblastoma harboring an ALK activating mutation, including ALK F1174C, F1174L, R1275Q, or R1275L (PMID: 37012551; NCT03107988). | 37012551 |
