Genetic Testing in Guiding Treatment for Patients with Brain Metastases

Inclusion Criteria

• PRE-REGISTRATION ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA (ALL PATIENTS)
• Tissue available for biomarker testing (any brain metastasis tissue and extracranial site from any prior resection or biopsy). If the patient does not have any evidence of extracranial disease, or if there is insufficient extracranial tissue for profiling, brain metastasis tissue is sufficient for eligibility.
• REGISTRATION ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA (ALL PATIENTS)
• Participants must have histologically confirmed parenchymal metastatic disease to the brain from any solid tumor. Note: this includes patients that have controlled extracranial disease with progressive intracranial metastasis, as well as patients that have progressive intracranial and extracranial disease.
• New or progressive brain metastases are defined as any one of the following: * Untreated measurable lesions in patients who have received surgery and/or stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) to one or more other lesions. * Progressive measurable lesions after radiation, surgery, or prior systemic therapy. * Residual or progressive lesions after surgery if asymptomatic. * Patients who have had prior whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT) and/or SRS and then whose lesions have progressed by BM-RANO criteria or there are new lesions, are eligible. Lesions treated with SRS may be eligible if there is unequivocal evidence of progression. For patients with NTRK or ROS1 mutations, entrectinib may be used for newly diagnosed brain metastases. Similarly, for patients with KRAS G12C mutations, MRTX849 may be used for newly diagnosed brain metastases. * Patients who have not previously been treated with cranial radiation (e.g. WBRT or SRS) are eligible, but such patients must be asymptomatic or neurologically stable from their CNS metastases.
• Measurable CNS disease (>= 10 mm).
• Ability to obtain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)s with contrast.
• No surgery within 2 weeks prior to or after registration.
• No chemotherapy within 14 days prior to registration (Note: For abemaciclib arm, a 21-day chemotherapy washout is required). * For melanoma, patients must have progressed after prior immune checkpoint blockade or for BRAF positive melanoma, BRAF/MEK inhibitors. * For lung cancer, EGFR mutant patients must have failed EGFR therapies * For HER2-positive breast cancer patients, patients must have received at least one prior HER-2 directed therapy in the metastatic setting. * For triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), patients must have received at least one chemotherapy in the metastatic setting. * For estrogen receptor (ER) and/or progesterone receptor (PR)-positive, HER-2 negative breast cancer, patients must have received at least one endocrine therapy in the metastatic setting. * Patients who have received prior treatment with any of the targeted treatments on this study are not eligible for that specific treatment arm(s), but could be eligible for other arms (e.g., a patient who has had prior treatment with abemaciclib would not be eligible for the abemaciclib arm, but could be eligible for another arm).
• Tissue available for sequencing (any brain metastasis tissue and extracranial site from any prior resection or biopsy that was resected as part of clinical care). If the patient does not have any evidence of extracranial disease, brain metastasis tissue is sufficient for eligibility.
• Presence of clinically actionable alteration in NTRK, ROS1, KRAS G12C or CDK pathway or PI3K pathway in both a brain metastasis and extracranial site per central review.
• Not pregnant and not nursing, because this study involves investigational agents whose genotoxic, mutagenic and teratogenic effects on the developing fetus and newborn are unknown. Therefore, for women of childbearing potential only, a negative pregnancy test done =< 14 days prior to registration is required (Note: For abemaciclib arm, pregnancy test is required =< 7 days prior to registration.)
• No known current diffuse leptomeningeal involvement for the CDK, PI3K and NTRK arms (diffuse defined as leptomeningeal involvement throughout the CNS axis. Patients with focal leptomeningeal disease, with or without documented positive CSF cytology, are eligible).
• Age >= 18 years.
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-2.
• Adequate organ function.
• Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >= 1,500/mm^3.
• Platelet count >= 100,000/mm^3.
• Total bilirubin =< 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) except in patients with Gilbert’s disease. Patients with Gilbert’s syndrome with a total bilirubin =< 2.0 times ULN and direct bilirubin within normal limits are permitted.
• Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) =< 2.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN).
• Creatinine =< 1.5 mg/dL OR calculated (Calc.) creatinine clearance > 45 mL/min. * Except in patients with Gilbert’s disease. Patients with Gilbert’s syndrome with a total bilirubin =< 2.0 times ULN and direct bilirubin within normal limits are permitted. * Except for patients in the MRTX849 (KRAS G12C) arm. For this arm, patients must have creatinine clearance >= 60 mL/min or glomerular filtration rate >= 60 mL/min/1.73m^2 calculated using a validated prediction equation (e.g., Cockcroft-Gault, modification of diet in renal disease [MDRD], or 24-hour urine creatinine clearance [CrCl]).
• No uncontrolled medical comorbidities per investigator discretion (e.g. interstitial lung disease, severe dyspnea at rest or requiring oxygen therapy, severe renal impairment [e.g. estimated creatinine clearance < 30 ml/min], history of major surgical resection involving the stomach or small bowel, or preexisting Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis or a preexisting chronic condition resulting in baseline grade 2 or higher diarrhea)
• Radiation to symptomatic non-target sites within neural axis is allowed prior to registration without washout (provided there is at least one untreated target lesion for measurement on study and radiation is completed prior to registration).
• Concurrent systemic corticosteroids are allowed if stable dose of dexamethasone for 7 days prior to registration. Baseline doses and changes in steroid dosing will be captured.
• No concurrent administration of anticancer therapies (except for endocrine therapy or continuation of hormonal therapy or trastuzumab in breast cancer patients for the PI3K and CDK inhibitor arms). No chemotherapy, targeted therapy or immunotherapy within 14 days prior to entering the study. (Note: For abemaciclib arm, a 21-day chemotherapy washout is required).
• Chronic concomitant treatment with strong inhibitors of CYP3A4 is not allowed on this study. Patients on strong CYP3A4 inhibitors must discontinue the drug 14 days or 5 or more half-lives prior to registration on the study.
• Chronic concomitant treatment with strong CYP3A4 inducers is not allowed. Patients must discontinue the drug 14 days or 5 or more half-lives prior to the start of study treatment.
• ADDITIONAL REGISTRATION ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR GDC-0084 ARM

A washout period of at least 21 days is required between last chemotherapy dose and registration (provided the patient did not receive radiotherapy).
• Patients who received adjuvant radiotherapy must have completed and fully recovered from the acute effects of radiotherapy. A washout period of at least 14 days is required between end of radiotherapy and registration.
• Breast cancer patients who have received ribociclib or palbociclib are eligible as long as there is documentation of CDK4/6 pathway alteration on a biopsy or resection at the point of progression post-ribociclib or palbociclib.
• For females of childbearing potential: * A female of childbearing potential, must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days prior to registration and agree to use a highly effective contraception method during the treatment period and for 3 weeks following the last dose of abemaciclib. * Contraceptive methods may include an intrauterine device (IUD) or barrier method. If condoms are used as a barrier method, a spermicidal agent should be added as a double barrier protection. * Cases of pregnancy that occur during maternal exposures to abemaciclib should be reported. If a patient or spouse/partner is determined to be pregnant following abemaciclib initiation, she must discontinue treatment immediately. Data on fetal outcome and breast-feeding are to be collected for regulatory reporting and drug safety evaluation.
• Patients with active bacterial infection (requiring intravenous [IV] antibiotics at time of initiating study treatment), fungal infection, or detectable viral infection (such as known human immunodeficiency virus positivity or with known active hepatitis B or C [for example, hepatitis B surface antigen positive] are excluded. Screening is not required for enrollment.
• Patients with personal history of any of the following conditions: syncope of cardiovascular etiology, ventricular arrhythmia of pathological origin (including, but not limited to, ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation), or sudden cardiac arrest, are excluded.
• ADDITIONAL REGISTRATION ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR MRTX849 ARM

Note that the following are permitted: * Patients treated for hepatitis C (HCV) with no detectable viral load; * Patients treated for HIV with no detectable viral load for at least 1 month prior to randomization while on a stable regimen of agents that are not strong inhibitors of CYP3A4; and * Patients with hepatitis B (HBV) receiving prophylaxis against reactivation of hepatitis B (either [hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)-positive with normal ALT and HBV deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) < 2,000 IU/mL or < 10,000 copies/mL] or [HBsAg-negative and anti-hepatitis B core antigen (HBc) positive]).
• History of intestinal disease or major gastric surgery likely to alter absorption of study treatment or inability to swallow oral medications is excluded.
• Recovery from the adverse effects of prior therapy to baseline or grade 1 (any grade alopecia and grade =< 2 peripheral neuropathy are eligible).
• For females of childbearing potential. It is not known whether MRTX849 presents a risk to the embryo or the fetus; however, based on the mechanism of action (KRAS G12C inhibition), effects on the reproductive system are not unexpected. MRTX849 is contraindicated in women who are pregnant or lactating. Women of childbearing potential and men receiving MRTX849 who are sexually active must employ an effective method of contraception throughout their period of treatment and for 6 months after their last treatment with MRTX849.
