Summary

Phase I dose-escalation study to characterize the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of LDE225 given orally on a daily dosing schedule in children with recurrent or refractory medulloblastoma, or other tumors potentially dependent on Hedgehog signaling pathway. Phase II study is to assess preliminary efficacy in both adult and pediatric patients with recurrent or refractory MB.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Phase I - Patients aged ≥12 months and 10 yrs, Lansky ≥50 for patients less than or equal to 10 yrs
  • Protocol-defined renal , liver and bone marrow function
  • Negative pregnancy test before starting study treatment. If of child bearing potential must use 'highly effective' methods of contraception.
  • All patients must consent to provide a tumor sample

Exclusion Criteria

  • Systemic anti-cancer treatment within 2 weeks prior to first dose (6 weeks for nitrosourea, mitomycin and monoclonal antibodies).
  • Focal radiotherapy within 4 weeks prior to first dose, or full spinal radiotherapy within 3 months of first dose.
  • Unresolved toxicity greater than CTCAE grade 1 from previous anti-cancer therapy or radiotherapy (excluding neurotoxicity, alopecia, ototoxicity, lymphopenia or other specifications in the eligibility criteria for this study), or incomplete recovery from previous surgery, unless agreed by Novartis and the Principal Investigator (PI) and documented.
  • Major surgery, serious illness or traumatic injury within 2 weeks of starting study therapy. Patients anticipated to require major surgery within the first 2 cycles of treatment.
  • Patients requiring a nasogastric tube for drug administration (G-tubes are permitted)
  • Impaired cardiac function
  • Pregnant or breast-feeding females
  • Impairment of gastrointestinal (GI) function or GI disease

Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply
