Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

INTRODUCTION: Developing targeted therapies with manageable toxicities remains a high priority for pediatric cancer. We sought to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) and evaluate the antitumor activity of lenvatinib+everolimus in children/young adults with select recurrent/refractory solid tumors. METHODS: Patients 2-21 years old were eligible. Phase 1 used a rolling-six design. Phase 2 was limited to patients with Ewing sarcoma (EWS), rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), or high-grade glioma (HGG), and ≤2 prior VEGF/VEGFR-targeted therapies. Primary endpoints included the determination of maximum tolerated dose (MTD), RP2D, safety/toxicity (Phase 1), and objective response rate (ORR) per RECIST version 1.1 (RANO for HGG) at Week 16 (Phase 2). RESULTS: orally once daily. DL1 was declared the MTD/RP2D given dose-limiting toxicities (proteinuria [n = 1]; hypertriglyceridemia and hypercholesterolemia [n = 1]) observed in two of 12 patients treated at DL1. In Phase 2, 41 patients (EWS, n = 10; RMS, n = 20; HGG, n = 11) were treated with the RP2D. Two patients with RMS experienced partial response by Week 16. No other objective responses were observed. Two patients with EWS experienced prolonged disease control (≥23 weeks). No new safety signals were identified. The safety profile was similar to those of treated adults with renal cell carcinoma. CONCLUSION: Lenvatinib+everolimus has a manageable safety profile in this pediatric population. Despite unmet efficacy endpoints, the antitumor activity observed in RMS and EWS may warrant further study in select pediatric solid tumors. GOV NUMBER: NCT03245151.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
