Pediatric Cancer | Drug: Temozolomide Oral Suspension | Phase 1 |
The TEMOkids study is an international open-label, non-randomized, prospective, single-arm phase 1 study to determine the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of a single dose of an oral suspension of temozolomide (KIMOZO) in the pediatric population aged 1 year and over.
Patients will be subject to at least one 21 or 28-day treatment cycle involving administration of an oral suspension of temozolomide (KIMOZO) for five consecutive days followed by 16 or 23-days resting period, with determination of the PK parameters on the first treatment day.
Five (5) additional cycles will be allowed under compassionate use regimen. The compassionate use period could be extended at the discretion of the investigator and in agreement with the sponsor. Safety and activity data will be collected during the compassionate follow-up period.
The study will be held in multiple sites spread across Europe.

Experimental: Single arm
Temozolomide 40 mg/ml, Oral suspension

Drug: Temozolomide Oral Suspension
One prescribed oral dose (range 75 to 200 mg/m2) once daily for 5 days
Other Name: KIMOZO, Ped-TMZ |
- Population Phamacokinetic parameter: AUC24 [ Time Frame: At Day 1 of treatment cycle 1 (each cycle is 21 or 28 days) with post-dose samples collected at about 0.15, 0.5, 1, 2.5, and 7 hours post dose ]Estimated by a population analysis performed with NONMEM (7.4)
- Population Phamacokinetic parameter: Cmax [ Time Frame: At Day 1 of treatment cycle 1 (each cycle is 21 or 28 days) with post-dose samples collected at about 0.15, 0.5, 1, 2.5, and 7 hours post dose ]Estimated by a population analysis performed with NONMEM (7.4)
- Population Phamacokinetic parameter: T1/2 [ Time Frame: At Day 1 of treatment cycle 1 (each cycle is 21 or 28 days) with post-dose samples collected at about 0.15, 0.5, 1, 2.5, and 7 hours post dose ]Estimated by a population analysis performed with NONMEM (7.4)
- Acceptability of the oral suspension of temozolomide: score [ Time Frame: At Day 1 and Day 5 of treatment cycle 1 (each cycle is 21 or 28 days) ]Scoring with a standardized assessment tool: CAST - ClinSearch Acceptability Score Test®. This tool measures 9 observational drivers of drug acceptability.
- Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events [ Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 6 months including compassionate use period ]Adverse events collected directly by investigators when patient is hospitalized and through patient diary completed by caregivers and medically controlled by investigators when patient is at home
- Activity of the oral suspension of temozolomide [ Time Frame: At the end of each 21- or 28-day treatment cycle of the compassionate use period ]Activity assessment (complete or partial response, stable disease, disease progression)

- Patients having records of coverage by a health insurance
- Life expectancy ≥ 3 months
-
Adequate haematological function:
- haemoglobin ≥ 80 g/L (transfusion support authorized)
- neutrophil count ≥ 1.0 x 10e9 cells/L
- platelet count ≥ 100 x 10e9 cells/L (without transfusion support)
