Gene Therapy Clinical Trials

Palbociclib in Combination With Chemotherapy in Treating Children With Relapsed Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) or Lymphoblastic Lymphoma (LL)

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.

Stanford is currently not accepting patients for this trial.

Inclusion Criteria:

   - Patients with recurrent or refractory B- or T-lineage lymphoblastic leukemia and
   lymphoma.

   - Patients with leukemia must have ≥ 5% (M2 or M3) bone marrow blasts with or without an
   extramedullary site of relapse. Morphologic relapse for M2 should be confirmed using
   flow cytometry, FISH and/or cytogenetics or molecular techniques.

   - Patients with LL must have either measurable or evaluable disease.

   - Patients with first or greater relapsed T-lineage ALL or LL and second or greater
   relapsed B-lineage ALL or LL are eligible.

   - Patients with primary refractory disease with at least 2 prior induction attempts or
   first relapse refractory to at least one prior re-induction attempt are eligible.

   - Karnofsky >= 50% for patients > 16 years of age and Lansky >= 50 for patients <= 16
   years of age.

      - Note: Patients who are unable to walk because of paralysis, but who are up in a
      wheelchair, will be considered ambulatory for the purpose of assessing the
      performance score.

   - Patients must have fully recovered from the acute toxic effects of all prior
   anti-cancer therapy and must meet the following minimum duration from prior
   anti-cancer directed therapy prior to enrollment. If after the required timeframe, the
   numerical eligibility criteria are met, e.g., blood count criteria, the patient is
   considered to have recovered adequately.

      1. Cytotoxic chemotherapy or other anti-cancer agents known to be myelosuppressive.
      See DVL homepage for commercial and Phase 1 investigational agent
      classifications. For agents not listed, the duration of this interval must be
      discussed with the study chair and the study-assigned Research Coordinator prior
      to enrollment.

         - A waiting period prior to enrollment is not required for patients receiving
         standard cytotoxic maintenance chemotherapy (i.e., corticosteroid,
         vincristine, 6MP, and/or methotrexate).

         - Intrathecal cytotoxic therapy: No waiting period is required for patients
         having received intrathecal cytarabine, methotrexate, and/or hydrocortisone.
         Intrathecal chemotherapy given at the time of diagnostic LP to evaluate for
         relapse prior to study enrollment is allowed.

            - 14 days must have elapsed after the completion of other cytotoxic
            therapy, with the exception of hydroxyurea, for patients not receiving
            standard maintenance therapy. Additionally, patients must have fully
            recovered from all acute toxic effects of prior therapy.

               - NOTE: Cytoreduction with hydroxyurea in patients can be initiated
               and continued for up to 24 hours prior to the start of protocol
               therapy.

               - Note: Intrathecal chemotherapy that is given up to 72 hours prior
               to initiation of systemic chemotherapy per AINV18P1 counts as
               protocol therapy and not prior anti-cancer therapy. Intrathecal
               chemotherapy given > 72 hours prior does not count as protocol
               therapy.

      2. Anti-cancer agents not known to be myelosuppressive (e.g. not associated with
      reduced platelet or ANC counts): >= 7 days after the last dose of agent. See DVL
      homepage for commercial and Phase 1 investigational agent classifications. For
      agents not listed, the duration of this interval must be discussed with the study
      chair and the study-assigned Research Coordinator prior to enrollment.

         - NOTE: Cytoreduction with prednisone or methylprednisolone for <= 120 hours
         (5 days) in patients can be initiated and continued for up to 24 hours prior
         to the start of protocol therapy.

      3. Antibodies: >= 21 days must have elapsed from infusion of last dose of antibody
      with the exception of blinatumomab, and toxicity related to prior antibody
      therapy must be recovered to Grade <= 1. Patients must have been off blinatumomab
      infusion for at least 14 days and all drug related toxicity must have resolved to
      Grade <= 1.

      4. Corticosteroids: If used to modify immune adverse events related to prior
      therapy, >= 14 days must have elapsed since last dose of corticosteroid and
      toxicity related to prior immune therapy must be recovered to Grade <= 1 off
      corticosteroids.

      5. Hematopoietic growth factors: >= 14 days after the last dose of a long-acting
      growth factor (e.g. pegfilgrastim) or 7 days for short-acting growth factor. For
      agents that have known adverse events occurring beyond 7 days after
      administration, this period must be extended beyond the time during which adverse
      events are known to occur. The duration of this interval must be discussed with
      the study chair and the study-assigned Research Coordinator.

      6. Interleukins, Interferons and Cytokines (other than Hematopoietic Growth
      Factors): >= 21 days after the completion of interleukins, interferon or
      cytokines (other than Hematopoietic Growth Factors)

      7. Stem cell Infusions (with or without TBI):

         - Allogeneic (non-autologous) bone marrow or stem cell transplant, or any stem
         cell infusion including DLI or boost infusion: >= 84 days after infusion and
         no evidence of GVHD.

         - Autologous stem cell infusion including boost infusion: >= 42 days.

      8. Cellular Therapy: >= 30 days after the completion of any type of cellular therapy
      (e.g. modified T cells, NK cells, dendritic cells, etc.)

      9. XRT/External Beam Irradiation including Protons: >= 14 days after local XRT; >=
      150 days after TBI, craniospinal XRT or if radiation to >= 50% of the pelvis; >=
      42 days if other substantial BM radiation.

   10. Patients must not have received prior exposure to palbociclib or another CDK4/6
      inhibitor.

      - bilirubin (sum of conjugated + unconjugated) <= 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN)
      for age

      - SGPT (ALT) <= 225 U/L unless disease-related. For the purpose of this study, the
      ULN for SGPT is 45 U/L.

      - Serum albumin >= 2 g/dL.

   - Adequate Cardiac Function Defined As:

      - Shortening fraction of >= 27% by echocardiogram, or

      - Ejection fraction of >= 50% by gated radionuclide study.

   - All patients and/or their parents or legally authorized representatives must sign a
   written informed consent. Assent, when appropriate, will be obtained according to
   institutional guidelines.

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.

   - Prednisone or methylprednisolone for ≤ 120 hours (5 days) may be administered for
   cytoreduction up to 24 hours prior to the start of protocol therapy and as treatment
   for allergic reactions or for physiologic replacement/stress dosing of hydrocortisone
   for documented adrenal insufficiency. Corticosteroids are not allowed for other
   indications. If used to modify immune adverse events related to prior therapy, ≥ 14
   days must have elapsed since last dose of corticosteroid.

   - 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].

   - Patients who are currently receiving drugs that are strong inhibitors and/or inducers
   of CYP3A4 or sensitive CYP3A4 substrates and CYP3A4 substrates with a narrow
   therapeutic range are not eligible. Strong inducers or inhibitors of CYP3A4 are
   prohibited from 14 days prior to enrollment to the end of the study.

   - Patients who are receiving cyclosporine, tacrolimus or other agents to prevent
   graft-versus-host disease post bone marrow transplant.

   - Patients must be able to swallow intact capsules or liquid. Patients that are unable
   to swallow oral medications may receive palbociclib through an NG tube. G tube
   administration is not allowed.

   - Patients who have an uncontrolled infection defined as below:

      - Fever above 38.2°C within 48 hours of study enrollment with clinical signs of
      infection. Fever that is determined to be due to tumor burden is allowed if
      patients have documented negative blood cultures for at least 48 hours prior to
      enrollment and no concurrent signs or symptoms of active infection or hemodynamic
      instability.

      - A positive fungal culture within 30 days of study enrollment or active therapy
      for presumed invasive fungal infection.

      - Patients may be receiving IV or oral antibiotics to complete a course of therapy
      for a prior documented infection as long as cultures have been negative for at
      least 48 hours and signs or symptoms of active infection have resolved. For
      patients with c. difficile diarrhea, at least 72 hours of antibacterial therapy
      must have elapsed and stools must have normalized to baseline.
