Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

AINV18P1 is a Phase 1 study where palbociclib will be administrated in combination with a standard re-induction platform in pediatric relapsed Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) and lymphoblastic lymphoma (LL). LL patients are included because the patient population is rare and these patients are most commonly treated with ALL regimens. The proposed palbociclib starting dose for this study will be 50 mg/m^2/day for 21 days.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
  1. To estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of palbociclib administered in combination with re-induction chemotherapy in pediatric patients with relapsed B- or T-lineage ALL/LL.

  2. To define and describe the toxicities of palbociclib administered on this schedule.

  3. To characterize the pharmacokinetics of palbociclib in pediatric patients with relapsed B- or T-lineage ALL/LL.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
  1. To preliminarily define the antitumor activity of palbociclib in combination with chemotherapy for children with relapsed ALL/LL within the confines of a Phase 1 study.

  2. To assess the biologic activity of palbociclib in this patient population.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive Palbociclib PO (or via NG-tube) once daily on Days 1-21; Intrathecal cytarabine (IT ARAC) on Day 1, Doxorubicin IV push or infusion over 1-15 min on Day 4; Prednisone or prednisolone PO on days 4-31; Vincristine IV push or mini-bag per institutional policy on Days 4, 11, 18, and 25; and Pegaspargase IV over 1-2 hours on Days 5, and 18. If CNS3 leukemia is present, patients receive Intrathecal Triple Therapy (ITT) on days 4, 11,18, and 25. If CNS1 or 2 disease status, patients receive Methotrexate (IT MTX) on Days 18 and 32. Patients known to be CNS3 at study entry may receive ITT on Day 1 rather than IT ARAC. Treatment will be given for one cycle, 32 days, in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Exclusion Criteria:
  • Pregnant or breast-feeding women will not be entered on this study due to risks of fetal and teratogenic adverse events as seen in animal/human studies. Based on the mechanism of action, palbociclib may be expected to cause fetal harm if used during pregnancy. Pregnancy tests must be obtained in girls who are post-menarche. Males or females of reproductive potential may not participate unless they have agreed to use an effective contraceptive method for the duration of study therapy. Women of reproductive potential should use effective contraception during treatment and for at least 3 weeks after the last dose of palbociclib. Males with female partners of reproductive potential should use effective contraception during treatment and for 3 months after the last dose of palbociclib. Animal data suggests that palbociclib may affect male fertility.

  • Patients who are currently receiving another investigational drug.

  • Patients who are currently receiving other anti-cancer agents are not eligible [except patients receiving hydroxyurea, which may be continued until 24 hours prior to start of protocol therapy].
