Abstract

Background Cyclin D has been shown to play an essential role in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) initiation and progression, providing rationale for targeting the CDK4/6-cyclin D complex that regulates cell cycle progression. Procedure The Children’s Oncology Group AINV18P1 phase 1 trial evaluated the CDK4/6 inhibitor, palbociclib, in combination with standard four-drug reinduction chemotherapy in children and young adults with relapsed/refractory B- and T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and lymphoma. Palbociclib (50 mg/m 2/dose) was administered orally once daily for 21 consecutive days, first as a single agent (days 1-3) and subsequently combined with reinduction chemotherapy. This two-part study was designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) followed by an expansion pharmacokinetic (PK) cohort. Results Twelve heavily pretreated patients enrolled, all of whom were evaluable for toxicity. One dose-limiting hematologic toxicity (DLT) occurred at the starting dose of 50 mg/m 2/dose orally for 21 days. No additional DLTs were observed in the dose determination or PK expansion cohorts and overall rates of grade 3/4 non-hematologic toxicities were comparable to those observed with the chemotherapy platform alone. Five complete responses were observed, two among four patients with T-ALL and three among seven patients with B-ALL. Pharmacokinetic studies showed similar profiles with both liquid and capsule formulations of palbociclib. Conclusions Palbociclib in combination with reinduction chemotherapy was well tolerated with a RP2D of 50 mg/m 2/day for 21 days. Complete responses were observed among heavily pretreated patients.
