Full study description
- brief Summary
- This is an open-label, multi-center Phase 1/2 study of oral LOXO-292 in pediatric participants with an activating rearranged during transfection (RET) alteration and an advanced solid or primary CNS tumor.
- detailed Description
- This study includes 2 parts: phase 1 (dose escalation) and phase 2 (dose expansion). In phase 1, participants will be enrolled using a rolling 6 dose escalation scheme. The starting dose of LOXO-292 is equivalent to the adult recommended phase 2 dose of 160 milligrams (mg) twice a day (BID). Once the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) is identified, participants will be enrolled to one of four phase 2 dose expansion cohorts depending on tumor histology and tumor genotype. Cycle length will be 28 days.
