Brief summary

Nilotinib is a drug that is used to treat a form of a blood cancer called leukemia. Nilotinib works by blocking the action of a protein that might be important for the growth of pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS). In this research study the investigators are testing whether nilotinib can stop the growth of PVNS or improve the symptoms experienced from PVNS.

Detailed description

* In this research study, each cycle of study drug dosing will last 4 weeks (28 days). During each cycle, participants will take nilotinib by mouth twice daily. During the first cycle, participants will come to the clinic on Days 1 and 8. For Cycles 2-4 and every 3 cycles thereafter, they will come to the clinic on Day 1. * The following tests and procedures will be performed at specific time points during study treatment: MRI or CT scans; physical examinations; vital signs; blood work; questionnaires and EKG. * Participants may continue in this research study for as long as they do not have serious side effects or their disease does not get worse.

Inclusion criteria

* Histologically confirmed diagnosis of recurrent PVNS ( or diffuse-type giant cell tumor or tenosynovial giant cell tumor) that is unresectable, metastatic, or for which the patient refuses surgical intervention * Progressive disease in the last 12 months, as demonstrated by imaging or clinical appearance of new tumors, in the opinion of the treating investigator * At least one site of measurable disease according to RECIST 1.1 on MRI (or CT scan for metastatic disease) * Any number or type of prior systemic therapies, with the exception of known or suspected CSF1 receptor inhibitors as outlined in

Exclusion criteria

below * 18 years of age or older * Life expectancy greater than 6 months * ECOG Performance Status of 0, 1 or 2 * Normal organ and marrow function as defined in the protocol * QTc less than or equal to 450 ms on 12-lead ECG * Negative urine or serum pregnancy test within days of start of study drug administration for women of childbearing potential. * Women of childbearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception prior to study entry, for the duration of study participation, and for 3 months following study drug discontinuation

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Participants With Progression Free Survival6 monthsTo estimate progression free survival at 6 months in participants with recurrent PVNS treated with nilotinib. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Overall Tumor Response Rate (OR)2 yearsTo determine overall tumor response rate \[% complete response (CR) + % partial response (PR) by RECIST 1.1\]. Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR) is a disappearance of all target lesions. Partial Response (PR) is a \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions. Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.
Clinical Benefit Rate6 monthsTo determine the clinical benefit rate \[% CR + % PR + % stable disease by RECIST 1.1\] at 6 months. Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR) is a disappearance of all target lesions. Partial Response (PR) is a \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions. Stable Disease (SD): Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum diameters while on study.
