1 NCI Prtcl #: PBTC-042 Lcal Prtcl #: PBTC-042 Prtcl Abstract and Schema PBTC-042: Phase I study f CDK 4-6 inhibitr PD (palbciclib; IBRANCE) in children with recurrent, prgressive r refractry central nervus system tumrs Descriptin This is a multicenter, Phase I trial fr children with Retinblastma Prtein 1 (Rb1) psitive recurrent, prgressive r refractry central nervus system tumrs. In the recent years there have been several clinical trials in adults with cancer utilizing small mlecule inhibitrs targeting cell cycle regulatry genes such as CDKs (cyclin-dependent kinase). In nrmal cells, these kinases are kept under cntrl by a gene, hwever, this gene is frequently deleted in cancers and these tw kinases are uncntrllably activated which drives the cell t divide and frm cancer. This trial is using PD (palbciclib; IBRANCE), a selective CDK inhibitr, t be evaluated in children with CNS tumrs. PD (Pfizer Crpratin, USA) is an rally active, water sluble, cell-permeable highly specific inhibitr f CDK4 and 6. It is designed t shut dwn the activity f mlecules, CDK4 and 6 that drive cell divisin. PD is expected t wrk nly if the cancer cells demnstrate expressin f the tumr suppressr retinblastma (Rb1) prtein which is needed t cntrl cell grwth even if CDK4/6 is inhibited. A screening test fr presence r absence f Rb1 will therefre be perfrmed in all types f CNS tumrs except diffuse pntine glima (DIPG), medullblastma, r Atypical Teratid Rhabdid Tumr (ATRT) t cnfirm eligibility fr this trial. Ratinale: Survival fr children with recurrent CNS tumrs is dismal and nvel therapeutic ptins need t be develped in rder t imprve utcme. Cancer initiatin and prgressin is dependent n deregulatin f the cmpnents and phases f the cell cycle. Ample evidence exists n alteratins f CDKs, Cyclins, cell cycle inhibitrs, and checkpint prteins in pediatric CNS tumrs. The presence f specific mutatins in the prteins invlved in G1-S phase transitin f the cell cycle in these tumrs is particularly relevant fr the use f a specific CDK4/6 inhibitr like PD Furthermre, it is likely that ver 60% f pediatric CNS tumrs are likely t have intact Rb-prtein, a pre-requisite fr the efficacy f this cell cycle inhibitr. PD has nt been tested in children with cancer thus far. A Phase I study is therefre needed t assess the txicity, MTD, pharmackinetics, and preliminary evidence f efficacy f this agent in this patient ppulatin. Since myelsuppressin is the predminant side effect f this agent, the Phase I study will first evaluate the txicities in children wh have nt been heavily pre-treated previusly. With the MTD identified in less-heavily pre-treated patients (stratum I), this phase I study will be expanded t include heavily pre-treated patients (defined as thse wh have received mre than 4 prir regimens (either myelsuppressive chemtherapy r bilgic) ± cranispinal irradiatin ± myelablative chemtherapy plus stem cell rescue) in a separate chrt (stratum II). Treatment f these patients will be initiated at 50 mg/m 2 /day (ne dse level belw the ptential MTD in stratum I) as the starting dse level. Stratum II is likely t mstly include patients with recurrent medullblastma, ther central PNETs, ATRT, and germ cell tumrs. Recent genmic studies f medullblastma and ATRT have demnstrated that Rb1 prtein is intact in these tumrs. Therefre, patients with medullblastma r ATRT will nt be required t have their tumrs screened fr Rb1 expressin. Versin 7.0 1

2 NCI Prtcl #: PBTC-042 Lcal Prtcl #: PBTC-042 Schema This is a dse escalatin trial f PD t determine the maximum tlerated dse in children with recurrent brain tumrs. PD is taken rally nce a day fr 21 days fllwed by a week rest. One curse is therefre equivalent t 28 days. Therapy may cntinue fr up t tw years (26 curses) in the absence f disease prgressin r unacceptable txicity. Dsing is based n BSA calculated at the beginning f each curse. The starting dse is 50 mg/m 2 fr stratum I and stratum II. PD dse escalatins will be perfrmed accrding t the table belw until the maximum tlerated r recmmended Phase II dse is reached. Since myelsuppressin is the main dse limiting txicity (DLT) f this drug, patients wh have been mre heavily pretreated are likely t experience hematlgic txicity with this agent. Therefre, patients will be divided int tw strata; stratum I- patients wh have received either fcal raditherapy (RT) nly r fcal RT ± 4 prir myelsuppressive chemtherapy and/ r bilgic therapy regimens r stratum II- thse wh have received > 4 prir regimens (either chemtherapy r bilgic agent), ± cranispinal irradiatin, and ± myelablative chemtherapy plus bne marrw r peripheral bld stem cell rescue. Enrllment t Stratum I is currently nging and has accrued 12 patients at dse level 1 (n=3), 2 (n=3), and 3 (n=6). Tw patients enrlled at dse level 3 were inevaluable fr DLT. Of the 10 evaluable patients, 2 f 4 patients at dse level 3 experienced a DLT f grade 4 neutrpenia. Hence the MTD was exceeded at dse level 3, and 3 additinal patients have been enrlled at dse level 2. The maximum tlerated dse (MTD) fr stratum I is expected t be dse level 2 (75 mg/m 2 /day fr 21 days). Since the pssibility f myelsuppressin is expected t be mre in patients enrlled in stratum II (heavily pretreated patients), we cnsider it mre prudent t cmmence enrllment f patients at dse level 1 which is 50 mg/m 2 /day. An MTD will be separately determined fr this stratum.
