About this study

Official title: Phase I Study of CDK 4-6 Inhibitor PD-0332991 (Palbociclib; IBRANCE) in Children With Recurrent, Progressive or Refractory Central Nervous System Tumors

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of palbociclib isethionate in treating younger patients with central nervous system tumors that have grown, come back, or not responded to treatment. Palbociclib isethionate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/phase II recommended dose and describe toxicities related to PD-0332991 (palbociclib isethionate) in children with retinoblastoma protein 1 (Rb1) positive recurrent, progressive or refractory primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors.

II. To determine plasma pharmacokinetics of PD-0332991 in children with Rb1positive recurrent, progressive or refractory primary CNS tumors.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To record preliminary evidence of efficacy of PD-0332991 in children with recurrent CNS tumors.

II. To evaluate cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)4/6, cyclin D1-3, Ink4a-ARF copy-number variations in available tumor tissue by array comparative, genomic hybridization (aCGH).

III. To explore the potential relationships between the pharmacokinetics of PD-0332991 and pharmacodynamic response (e.g. percentage change in absolute neutrophil count [ANC], platelet counts).

IV. To explore the pharmacogenetic polymorphisms in PD-0332991 metabolizing enzymes and transporters and relate these polymorphisms to PD-0332991 pharmacokinetics.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.

Patients receive palbociclib isethionate orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-21. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for 26 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 30 days.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Palbociclib in Stratum I

    Rolling-6 design was used to estimate MTD. The MTD was empirically defined as the highest dose level at which six patients were treated with at most one patient experiencing a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and the next higher dose level had been determined to be too toxic. Stratum I consisted of less-heavily pre-treated patients.

    Measured: 4 weeks

  2. Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Palbociclib in Stratum II

    Rolling-6 design was used to estimate MTD. The MTD was empirically defined as the highest dose level at which six patients were treated with at most one patient experiencing a DLT and the next higher dose level had been determined to be too toxic. Stratum II consisted of heavily pre-treated patients.

    Measured: 4 weeks

  3. Number of Patients Who Experienced Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)

    DLTs were defined as any of the following adverse events that were at least possibly related to palbociclib that occurred during the first 4 weeks of therapy regardless of expectedness. Hematologic DLTs included grade 3 neutropenia with fever and sepsis, grade 3 thrombocytopenia and/or requiring a platelet transfusion on 2 separate days within a 7-day period, or any grade 4 hematologic toxicity except lymphopenia. Non-hematologic DLTs included any grade 4 non-hematologic toxicity, any grade 3 non-hematologic toxicity with some exceptions (e.g., nausea and vomiting of < 5 days; diarrhea and/or electrolyte disturbances which have not been maximally treated; AST/ALT elevation that returns to levels meeting eligibility criteria within 7 days of study drug interruption and does not recur upon restarting drug), or any grade 2 non-hematologic toxicity that persists for > 7 days and is considered medically significant or sufficiently intolerable by patients requires treatment interruption.

    Measured: 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing palbociclib isethionate, pharmacological study and laboratory biomarker analysis in people with Childhood Choroid Plexus Tumor and Childhood Ependymoblastoma, run by Pediatric Brain Tumor Consortium at 11 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 34 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Mar 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 11 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 Apr 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Palbociclib in Stratum I (time frame: 4 weeks). The study lists 13 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02255461, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Mar 2021.
