Palbociclib and Sorafenib, Decitabine, or Dexamethasone in Treating Patients With Recurrent or Refractory Leukemia

NCT03132454

Description:

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of palbociclib when given alone and in combination with sorafenib, decitabine, or dexamethasone in treating patients with leukemia that has come back (recurrent) or that does not respond to previous treatment (refractory). Palbociclib, sorafenib, and decitabine may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as dexamethasone, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving palbociclib alone and in combination with sorafenib, decitabine, or dexamethasone may work better in treating patients with recurrent or refractory leukemia.

Purpose

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of palbociclib when given alone and in combination with sorafenib, decitabine, or dexamethasone in treating patients with leukemia that has come back (recurrent) or that does not respond to previous treatment (refractory). Palbociclib, sorafenib, and decitabine may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as dexamethasone, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving palbociclib alone and in combination with sorafenib, decitabine, or dexamethasone may work better in treating patients with recurrent or refractory leukemia.

Detailed Description

      PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose limiting toxicities (DLT) of
      various combinations with palbociclib in patients with relapsed and refractory leukemias.

      SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To assess pharmacodynamic effects of palbociclib on the Cyclin-CDK-Rb axis in leukemic
      blasts of patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) leukemias.

      II. To explore the efficacy (complete response [CR], complete remission without platelet
      recovery [CRp], complete remission without blood count recovery [CRi], partial response [PR],
      or clinical benefit [CB]) of palbociclib as a single-agent and in combinations in patients
      with R/R leukemias.

      III. To explore biomarkers of response and resistance in patients with R/R leukemias treated
      with palbociclib.

      IV. To assess the safety and tolerability of one cycle of single-agent palbociclib in
      patients with R/R leukemias.

      OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of sorafenib, decitabine, and dexamethasone.
      Patients are assigned to 1 of 3 arms.

      ARM I: Patients receive palbociclib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-28. Patients also
      receive sorafenib PO QD on days 1-28 beginning on cycle 2. Treatment repeats every 28 days
      for up to 8 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

      ARM II: Patients receive palbociclib as in Arm I. Beginning cycle 2, patients receive
      palbociclib PO QC on days 1-7 and decitabine intravenously (IV) QD over 1 hour on days 8-17
      of cycle 2 and days 8-12 of cycles 3-8. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 8 cycles in
      the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

      ARM III: Patients receive palbociclib as in Arm I. Patients also receive dexamethasone PO QD
      or IV over 15-30 minutes on days 1-4 and 15-18 beginning on cycle 2. Treatment repeats every
      28 days for up to 8 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

      After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up periodically.

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) as determined by dose limiting toxicity (DLT)
Time Frame:Up to cycle 2 (each cycle is 28 days)
Safety Issue:
Description:MTD is defined as the highest dose level in which 6 patients have been treated with at most 1 instance of dose limiting toxicity using a classic '3+3' dose-escalation design. DLT is defined as drug-related adverse events during cycle two (i.e., the first cycle of palbociclib in combination). The number and proportion of DLTs will be summarized by treatment arm and dose level.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure:Pharmacodynamic (PD) effects of palbociclib
Time Frame:Up to 3 years
Safety Issue:
Description:PD biomarker concentration will be summarized by time points. The relationship between drug concentrations and PD effects will be explored graphically. Based on review of these graphs, analyses to describe the relationship may also be performed.
Measure:Efficacy as determined by complete response (CR]), complete remission without platelet recovery (CRp), complete remission without blood count recovery (CRi), partial response (PR), or clinical benefit (CB)
Time Frame:Up to 3 years

Safety Issue:
Description:The study will also explore the biomarkers associated with response or resistance to treatment using descriptive statistics and exploratory graphics.
Measure:Incidence of adverse events graded according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0
