About this study

Official title: Early-Phase Study to Assess Tumor Pharmacokinetics and Efficacy of the CDK4/6 Inhibitor Ribociclib (LEE011) in Patients With Recurrent Glioblastoma or Anaplastic Glioma

This is a single-institution, open-label, early-phase study to assess the ability of ribociclib (LEE011) to inhibit CDK4/CDK6/Rb/E2F signaling and cell proliferation/viability in core and infiltrating tumor tissues obtained from patients with recurrent glioblastoma or anaplastic glioma compared to the baseline/primary pathologic tumor specimen. Abundant preclinical evidence indicates that Rb-deficient cancer cells are resistant to CDK4/6 inhibition and ongoing trials with CDK4/6 inhibitors exclude patients with Rb-deficient tumors. The investigators will evaluate 10 patients with Rb-positive glioblastoma or anaplastic glioma in this study. Given that a minority of glioblastomas ha Rb loss the investigators anticipate enrolling a maximum of 20 patients, to meet our goal of 10 patients with Rb-positive tumors.

Read the detailed description

Preliminary evaluation of efficacy and determination of the ribociclib safety profile in patients with brain tumors will be studied. All patients will be treated with ribociclib (600 mg/day) for 8-21 days before surgical resection of the recurrent tumor. Rb status of the recurrent tumor will be determined by immunohistochemistry within 2 weeks after surgery. Patients with Rb-positive tumors will continue treatment with ribociclib (21 days on, 7 days off) after surgery. Patients will be treated until unacceptable toxicity is observed, or until disease progression as assessed by radiographic or clinical metrics. We will determine whether molecular markers associated with changes induced by ribociclib treatment in tumors (matching initial vs. recurrent tumors) correlate with progression-free survival.

Approximately 20% of patients with recurrent high-grade glioma will undergo surgical resection of their tumor typically at the time of first recurrence. These patients will be eligible for this study. An extra 10 mL of blood will be collected during a routine clinical procedure prior to initiation of ribociclib treatment (i.e., baseline blood sample), separated into plasma and buffy coat fractions, and frozen for pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis. Patients will be treated with ribociclib for 8-21 days prior to surgery to identify drug effects on tumor cells, and to determine drug PK. The last presurgical dose of ribociclib will be administered on the day of surgery at 4-8 hours prior to surgery to allow sufficient time for the drug to enter tumor cells, inhibit CDK4/6, and modulate downstream effectors. Blood will be acquired within 1 hour before surgery (as close to the time of surgery as possible). Blood will be separated into plasma and buffy coat fractions, and frozen. During surgery, samples of brain tumor core and infiltrating brain tumor will be acquired. Tissue samples will be frozen or fixed in paraffin embedded blocks and histology for PK and molecular analyses.

Ribociclib (LEE011) TreatmentExperimentalPatients will be treated with ribociclib (LEE011) (recommended phase 2 dose of 600 mg/day) for 8-21 days prior to surgery. For preliminary evaluation of efficacy and toxicity, patients with Rb-positive tumors will resume treatment with ribociclib at 14-28 days post-surgery on a schedule of 21 days on, 7 days off in a 28-day cycle. Patients will be treated until unacceptable toxicity is observed, or until disease progression as assessed by radiographic or clinical metrics.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Inhibition of CDK4/CDK6 Signaling Pathway in Cell Proliferation

    Levels of phospho-Rb in tumor cells, the fraction of Ki67-positive tumor cells, and the fraction of TUNEL-positive tumor cells in primary (baseline) vs. recurrent (post-LEE011) tumor samples will be assessed via laboratory practices as a means of studying Inhibition of CDK4/CDK6 Signaling Pathway in Cell Proliferation.

    Measured: an expected average of 1 year to allow laboratory quality assessment of tumor proliferation

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Ribociclib Concentration in Tissues

    Concentrations of ribociclib will be gathered from tumor core and infiltrating tumor tissue which is gathered at the time of initial surgery for the removal of the patients tumor.

    This will be completed to assess whether ribociclib treatment induces changes in brain tumor cell fate (proliferation, apoptosis, senescence) and E2F activation. Biomarkers will be compared in ribociclib-treated recurrent tumors vs. matching baseline tumors vs. archived recurrent tumors from other patients.

    Laboratory will assess the frequencies of Rb mutations and loss in primary and recurrent brain tumors.

    Measured: 1 Day Collection as the time of initial surgery

  2. Ribociclib Concentration in Plasma

    Concentrations of ribociclib in blood plasma will be gathered through pharmacokinetic draws at specified time points throughout study participation and will be used to assist in the assessment of whether ribociclib treatment induces changes in brain tumor cell fate (proliferation, apoptosis, senescence) and E2F activation. Biomarkers will be compared in ribociclib-treated recurrent tumors vs. matching baseline tumors vs. archived recurrent tumors from other patients.

    To determine the frequencies of Rb mutations and loss in primary and recurrent brain tumors.

    Measured: time of Pharmacokinetic draws

  3. Tumor Progression

    Preliminary rates of progression-free survival in patients with high-grade gliomas treated with ribociclib will be measured through radiographic and clinical response metrics, specifically Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) criteria and investigator discretion.

    Measured: Over 1 year, which is expected average length of participation per patient

  4. Survival Outcomes

    Overall survival in patients with high-grade gliomas treated with ribociclib will be assessed by medical record review and survival follow up.

    Measured: Over 1 year, which is expected average length of participation per patient

  5. Ribociclib Safety Profile

    Common Toxicity Criteria Adverse Event (CTCAE 4.0) will be utilized to review ribociclib treatment effects in patients with brain tumors.

    Measured: 30 days post last dose of LEE011 per patient

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Ribociclib in people with Glioblastoma and Glioma, run by University of Virginia at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 10 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Jun 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Inhibition of CDK4/CDK6 Signaling Pathway in Cell Proliferation (time frame: an expected average of 1 year to allow laboratory quality assessment of tumor proliferation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02345824, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Jun 2018.
