PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To demonstrate objective responses using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET)-CT and/or PET-MRI imaging.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Progression – free survival.
II. Overall survival.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE:
I. To determine time course of ONC201 efficacy by measurement clinically indicated blood biomarkers such as normetanepherine, metanepherines, and/or chromogranin A.
CORRELATIVE OBJECTIVE:
I. Plasma will be collected in BCT tubes, then frozen and stored for future studies of an exploratory nature.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive akt/ERK inhibitor ONC201 orally (PO) on days 1-2. Cycles repeat every week in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days, every 3 months for 2 years, and then yearly for up to 4 years.
