Study Description

This is a Phase I/II study to assess the efficacy and safety of ribociclib in combination
with topotecan and temozolomide (TOTEM) in pediatric patients with relapsed or refractory
(r/r) neuroblastoma (NB), and other solid tumors, including medulloblastoma (MB),
high-grade glioma (HGG), malignant rhabdoid tumors (MRT), and rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS). The study consists of Phase I -part A (dose finding) and Phase I - part B (multiple
expansion cohorts). Phase II may begin after evaluation of Phase I data (safety,
tolerability, efficacy, pharmacokinetics and biomarker data), with consideration of other
emerging data that may impact on the treatment landscape, before initiating Phase II in
patients with relapsed or refractory NB and/or other tumors studied in Phase I.

- Phase I-Part A (dose finding): a dose finding to determine the maximum tolerated
dose (MTD) and/or recommended Phase II dose (RP2D) of ribociclib in combination with
TOTEM.

- Phase I- Part B (multiple expansion cohorts): it will be initiated to confirm RP2D
identified from Phase I-part A. Multiple expansion cohorts have been planned to
assess the preliminary antitumor activity and safety of ribociclib in combination
with TOTEM in participants with r/r NB (cohort 1), MB (cohort 2), HGG (cohort 3),
MRT (cohort 4), and RMS (cohort 5)

- Phase II- Double-blind, randomized, placebo controlled in r/r NB: It is a two-arm
randomized, double blinded, placebo controlled, parallel group trial in participants
with r/r NB.

Interventions

Drug

Ribociclib

Ribociclib administered at the RP2D defined from Phase I-Part A.
Drug

Temozolomide

Starting out dose of temozolomide for first two cohorts for Phase 1-Part A: 150mg/m2/day. Starting out dose for subsequent cohorts in Phase 1-Part A will initiate at 100mg/m2/day and will be determined for Phase 1-Part B depending on safety outcome and for phase II.
Drug

Topotecan

Starting out dose of topotecan administered at standard dose given to neuroblastoma patients (0.75 mg/m2/day).

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Participants and/or guardian have the ability to understand and the willingness to
sign a written informed consent document.

2. Age ≥ 12 months and ≤ 21 years at the time of signing consent form Note: The first
dose level of Phase I - part A (dose finding) will enroll participants ≥ 12 years -
21 years old, and may expand to younger participants (≥ 12 months to < 12 years) as
determined by the data.

3. Histologically or cytologically confirmed solid tumors listed below that have
progressed despite standard therapy or for which no effective standard therapy
exists.

1. Neuroblastoma (for Phase I and Phase II): Histologically proven neuroblastoma
as per International Neuroblastoma Staging System (INSS); Relapsed or
refractory disease; Measurable disease per International Neuroblastoma Response
criteria (INRC); Bone marrow only disease not eligible; Available MYCN status
before screening

2. Medulloblastoma (for Phase I) regardless of genetic status (i.e. Groups 3 or 4
WNT-activated or non-WNT, SHH-activated or non-SHH)

3. High-grade glioma (for Phase I): including HGG NOS, WHO Grade III or Grade IV;
Glioblastoma, IDH-wildtype or IDH-mutant; Anaplastic astrocytoma, IDH-mutant;
Anaplastic oligodendroglioma, IDH-mutant; Anaplastic pleomorphic
xanthoastrocytoma; Diffuse midline gliomas, H3 K27-altered; Diffuse hemispheric
glioma, H3 G34-mutant; Diffuse pediatric-type HGG, H3-wildtype and
IDH-wildtype.

4. Malignant rhabdoid tumor (for Phase I) includes diagnoses of atypical
teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT), and rhabdoid tumor of the kidney (RTK), and
other soft tissues as defined by 2 of the 3 following criteria; either (1)+(2)
or (1)+(3): (1) Morphology and immunophenotypic panel consistent with rhabdoid
tumor; (2) Loss of SMARCB1 confirmed by immunohistochemistry; (3) Molecular
confirmation of tumor-specific bi-allelic SMARCB1 loss/mutation is encouraged
in cases where SMARCB1 immunohistochemistry is equivocal, and required if
SMARCB1 immunohistochemistry is not available

5. Rhabdomyosarcoma (for Phase I) independent of fusion status and subtype

4. Participants with CNS disease who are on corticosteroids should take stable doses
for at least 7 days prior to first dose of ribociclib with no plans for escalation.

5. Performance status:

1. ≤ 16 years: Lansky Play score ≥ 50%

2. >16 years: Karnofsky performance status ≥ 50% or ECOG < 3

6. Life expectancy of ≥ 12 weeks at the time of enrollment

7. Adequate bone marrow function (bone marrow may be involved with tumor) and organ
function

8. Adequate hepatic, renal, cardiac function

9. Females who are sexually active must agree to use highly effective contraception
during and for 6 months after treatment. Additionally, females of childbearing
potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days prior to the first
dose of study medication. Pregnant or lactating females are not eligible for the
study.

10. Sexually active males (including those that have had a vasectomy), who do not agree
to abstinence, must be willing to use a condom during intercourse while on study
treatment and for 6 months after stopping treatment.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Known hypersensitivity to any of the excipients of ribociclib or topotecan or
temozolomide.

2. Not recovered from clinical and laboratory acute toxicities related to prior
anti-cancer therapies

3. Concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled concurrent medical conditions (serious
infections or significant cardiac, pulmonary, hepatic, psychiatric, GI disease, or
other organ dysfunction) that in the investigator's judgement could compromise their
ability to tolerate or absorb protocol therapy or would interfere with the study
procedures or results

4. Clinically significant, uncontrolled heart disease and/or cardiac repolarization
abnormality

5. History of QTc prolongation; taking medications with a known risk to prolong the QT
interval hat cannot be discontinued or replaced by safe alternative medication

6. Currently taking medications that are mainly metabolized by CYP3A4/5 with a narrow
therapeutic index, strong inducers or inhibitors of CYP3A4/5, herbal
preparations/medications and dietary supplements

7. Vaccinated with live, attenuated vaccines within 4 weeks

8. Participated in a prior investigational study within 30 days
