Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Event-free survival (EFS) based on investigator assessment. Assessment of
response in phase 2 of the study in Ewing sarcoma patients will be made using
RECIST 1.1 criteria as per Appendix 5. The primary outcome measure of
event-free survival (EFS) is defined in the Protocol (section 9.6.1) as the
time from randomization until first event (ie, progression, recurrence
following response, second malignancy or death without progression or
recurrence. RECIST 1.1 criteria will be applied to define progression and/or
recurrence following response.
Secondary outcome
* Event-free survival (EFS) assessed by an independent review committee.
* Objective response (OR), as assessed by investigator using Response
Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1.
* PET-CT response after cycle 4 compared to objective response on MRI/CT.
* Progression free survival (PFS) based on investigator assessment
* Overall survival (OS).
* Adverse Events (AEs) as graded by National Cancer Institute [NCI] Common
Terminology Criteria for Adverse events [CTCAE] version 4.03)
* Pharmacokinetic parameters of palbociclib, TMZ, IRN:
- Palbociclib PK: MD (assuming steady state is achieved) - Css,max, Tmax,
AUCss, Css,trough, and CL/F, as data permit.
- TMZ PK: MD - Css,max, Tmax, AUCss,*, Css,trough, and CL/F, as data
permit.
- IRN (and active metabolite, SN-38) PK: MD - Css,max, Tmax, AUCss,*,
Css,trough, and CL/F, as data permit.
* QoL reported by patient at baseline and after 2 and 4 cycles using
age-appropriate tools.
* Days of hospitalization.
Background summary
Palbociclib (PD-0332991) is a highly selective, reversible, small molecule
inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK) 4 and 6, administered orally.
Cyclin D1 and CDK4/6 are downstream of multiple signaling pathways which lead
to cellular proliferation. CDKs are important regulatory enzymes that mediate
cell cycle control by regulating and promoting transition through the cell
cycle. While a number of various CDK enzymes are recognized, in
complex organisms the control over cell cycle entry is regulated at the level
of CDK4 and CDK6. As cancer represents a process of uncontrolled cell division
and proliferation, CDKs represent potential therapeutic targets
Palbociclib (IBRANCE®) is approved for the treatment of patients with hormone
receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative advanced
or metastatic breast cancer in combination with an aromatase inhibitor as
initial endocrine-based therapy, or in combination with fulvestrant in patients
with disease progression following endocrine
therapy.
Curative options for pediatric, adolescent or young adult patients with
relapsed or refractory solid tumors are limited, and outcomes are poor. TMZ and
IRN are used frequently in clinical practice for many recurrent pediatric
cancers, including recurrent EWS. In several pediatric case series and Phase 2
clinical trials, IRN, and TMZ given alone or in combination with other agents
such as vincristine or temsirolimus have been associated with
response rates of up to 68% in patients with recurrent EWS, with some patients
maintaining a response for >14 cycles of therapy. New agents have been combined
with this backbone in pediatric clinical trials.
The multicenter, open-label, randomized Phase 2 portion of the study will
compare the efficacy of the combination of palbociclib with IRN and TMZ versus
IRN and TMZ alone in the treatment of children, adolescents and young adults
with recurrent or refractory EWS for whom no standard therapy is available.
Study objective
Primary: To compare the efficacy of palbociclib in combination with TMZ and IRN
vs TMZ and IRN chemotherapy alone in the treatment of children, adolescents,
and young adults with recurrent or refractory EWS.
Secundary: To further compare the efficacy of palbociclib in combination with
TMZ and IRN vs TMZ and IRN chemotherapy alone.
To characterize the toxicity and safety of the combination of TMZ and IRN plus
or minus palbociclib.
To describe the PK of palbociclib, TMZ, and IRN in children, adolescents, and
young adults with recurrent or refractory EWS when given in combination.
To assess the impact of the combination of palbociclib with TMZ and IRN
treatment on the quality of life (QoL) of patients with refractory or recurrent
EWS.
Study design
This is a Phase 2, randomized, open-label study
Intervention
Combination of 75mg/m2 palbociclib with 2 chemotherapy agents,50mg/m2
irinotecan (IRN) and 100mg/m2 temozolomide (TMZ) in comparison to treatment
with 50mg/m2 IRN and 100mg/m2 TMZ alone.
Study burden and risks
The study treatment is broken up into *cycles* with each cycle defined as 21
days in length. After the first two cycles (7 visits total), each cycle there
will be 1 visit to the hospital. For a treatment period of 18 weeks there will
be 6 cycles with 12 visits to site in total. Patients will need to keep a
medication diary and complete 2 questionnaires 3-4 times. A physical
examination will be done once per cycle. The following blood draws are extra
for this study: for PK, TK and biomarkers, for younger children who are less
than Tanner 4 stage additional samples are taken for hormonal and bone
metabolite assessments in, Approximately 8- 10 times for a treatment period of
18 weeks.
Study Drug Risks (Palbociclib)
Palbociclib has been given to approximately 1842 patients with breast cancer
who received palbociclib together with hormonal treatment in Pfizer sponsored
clinical trials.
The following side effects have been reported:
30% or more: decreases in neutrophil blood cells (may increase the risk for
infection), decreases in white blood cells (infection fighting cells),
infections, fatigue.
10 to <30%: decreases in hemoglobin (may cause weakness), decreases in
platelets (may cause bleeding and/or bruising), inflammation of the mouth,
diarrhea, constipation, nausea, vomiting, joint pain, back pain, pain in hands
and feet, hair loss, rash, cough, shortness of breath, headache, dizziness,
decreased appetite, hot flush, insomnia (inability to sleep), fever, common
cold, increases in blood liver markers that may indicate liver damage
5 to <10%: abdominal pain, indigestion, asthenia (general weakness), swelling
of hands and feet, irritation or sores in the lining of hollow organs like
mouth, throat, stomach, bowels ; pain, influenza (flu) like illness, muscle
pain, pain in the muscles and bone including around the chest and neck, muscle
cramps, dry skin, itching, mouth/throat pain, nosebleed, depression, fall,
increased blood pressure, acid reflux (heartburn), increased creatinine level
(may indicate abnormal kidney function).
The following side effects have been reported in <5% of the patients but are
still deemed important:
• fever associated with dangerously low levels of a type of white blood cells
(neutrophils)
• blurred vision
• increased tearing and/or dry eye
• impaired sense of taste
• In addition, interstitial lung disease (an inflammation of the lungs which
can cause cough and shortness of breath) can occur.
Serious and life-threatening infections have been observed in some patients
treated with palbociclib.
Palbociclib is also being evaluated in a number of adult and pediatric clinical
trials run in a variety of tumor types given alone or together with other
drugs. The side effects reported in these studies to date are similar to those
mentioned above.
Please see protocol page 48- 52 for a risk benefit assessment.
