In brief

This pilot trial studies how well nanoparticle albumin-bound rapamycin works in treating patients with cancer that as has spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment (advanced cancer) and that has an abnormality in a protein called mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR). Patients with this mutation are identified by genetic testing. Patients then receive nanoparticle albumin-bound rapamycin, which may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking the mTOR enzyme, which is needed for cell growth and multiplication. Using treatments that target a patient's specific mutation may be a more effective treatment than the standard of care treatment.

Who can join

Age: 18 and older. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.

You may qualify if…

• Histologic proof of cancer which is now not amenable to curative standard treatment options
• Patient must have received at least 1 prior standard therapy for their disease
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) 0, 1 or 2
• Ability to provide informed written consent
• Willing to return to enrolling institution for follow-up (active monitoring phase of the study); Note: During the active monitoring phase of a study (i.e., active treatment), participants must be willing to return to the consenting institution for follow-up
• Life expectancy >= 84 days (3 months)
• Identification of a drug target/targets through molecular profiling performed as a part of routine clinical care and treatment recommendation by the Mayo Clinic Genomics Tumor Board (GTB); NOTE: If profile matches more than 1 treatment arm, final decision for treatment arm assignment to be made by patients treating physician; it will be required for the genomic aberration to be identified through a test in a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) workflow; assays used will range from single gene abnormalities (e.g. fluorescent in situ hybridization [FISH] for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 [ERBB2] amplifications) to next generation sequencing based gene panels (Foundation One®) to more comprehensive assays such as whole exome sequencing; the Mayo Clinic GTB will serve as the centralized point of data synthesis to allow for assessment of molecular profiling accomplished through a heterogeneous array of tests
• Date of Mayo Clinic Genomics Tumor Board review =< 3 months prior to registration
• Measurable disease by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version (v)1.1 criteria (for solid tumors) or equivalent criteria (for patients with non-solid tumor malignancies)
• Patient meets all sub-protocol specific criteria of each applicable sub-protocol
• Ability to complete questionnaire(s) by themselves or with assistance
• SUB-PROTOCOL AIM A: Histological confirmation of renal cell carcinoma, head and neck cancer, endometrial cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, squamous cell cervical or uterine cancer, or bladder cancer
• SUB-PROTOCOL AIM A: Confirmation of advanced cancer with mTOR pathway aberrations as determined through routine clinical care using pathway aberrations performed in a CLIA certified laboratory; cancer genomic profiling tests incorporating next generation sequencing from archival formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue (FFPE) are validated with sensitivities and specificities of 99% and 99%, respectively; in the assay, hybrid-capture-selected deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) libraries are sequenced to depths targeting > 500 × coverage by non-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) duplicate read pairs, with > 99% of exons at coverage > 100 ×); multiplatform profiling may include immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization methods with previously established negative/positive cutoffs performed in a CLIA certified lab; at least one pathway aberration must be identified; these must be confirmed in a CLIA certified lab; the potential mTOR aberrations that could be identified are listed below, please note that this list is not all inclusive; if a CLIA validated report lists an mTOR pathway inhibitor as a target drug for a genetic aberration, then it can be considered eligible for the purposes of this study; v-akt murine thymoma viral oncogene homolog 1 (AKT1), MTOR, phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase, catalytic subunit alpha (PIK3CA), tuberous sclerosis (TSC)1, TSC2, retrovirus-associated DNA sequence (Ras) homolog enriched in brain (RHEB), serine/threonine kinase 11 (STK11), neurofibromin (NF)1/2
