Who may be able to join

Patient must have enrolled onto APEC1621SC and must have been given a treatment assignment to MATCH to APEC1621I based on the presence of an actionable mutation as defined in APEC1621SC
In addition to the actionable mutations, positive Rb expression by immunohistochemistry is required for study enrollment
Patients must be >= than 12 months and =< 21 years of age at the time of study enrollment
Patients must have a body surface area >= 0.87 m^2 at enrollment
Patients must have radiographically measurable disease at the time of study enrollment; patients with neuroblastoma who do not have measurable disease but have MIBG+ evaluable disease are eligible; measurable disease in patients with CNS involvement is defined as any lesion that is at minimum 10 mm in one dimension on standard magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT).
Note: The following do not qualify as measurable disease:

Malignant fluid collections (e.g., ascites, pleural effusions)
Bone marrow infiltration except that detected by MIBG scan for neuroblastoma

Karnofsky >= 50% for patients > 16 years of age and Lansky >= 50 for patients =< 16 years of age; Note: Neurologic deficits in patients with CNS tumors must have been relatively stable for at least 7 days prior to study enrollment; 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

About this study

Official title: NCI-COG Pediatric MATCH (Molecular Analysis for Therapy Choice) - Phase 2 Subprotocol of Palbociclib in Patients With Tumors Harboring Activating Alterations in Cell Cycle Genes

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

To determine the objective response rate (ORR; complete response + partial response) in pediatric patients treated with palbociclib with advanced solid tumors (including central nervous system [CNS] tumors), non-Hodgkin lymphomas or histiocytic disorders that harbor activating genetic alterations in cell cycle genes.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

To estimate the progression free survival in pediatric patients treated with palbociclib with advanced solid tumors (including CNS tumors), non-Hodgkin lymphomas or histiocytic disorders that harbor activating genetic alterations in alterations in cell cycle genes.

II. To obtain information about the tolerability of palbociclib in children and adolescents with relapsed or refractory cancer.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE:

To explore approaches to profiling changes in tumor genomics over time through evaluation of circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).

OUTLINE:

Patients receive palbociclib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-21. Cycles repeat every 28 days for up to 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Conditions: Advanced Malignant Solid Neoplasm, Recurrent Childhood Ependymoma, Recurrent Ewing Sarcoma, Recurrent Glioma, Recurrent Hepatoblastoma, Recurrent Kidney Wilms Tumor
Being tested: Laboratory Biomarker Analysis, Palbociclib, Pharmacological Study
Medical subject headings: Familial ependymoma, Sarcoma, Ewing, Glioma, Hepatoblastoma, Wilms Tumor, Histiocytosis, Langerhans-Cell, Medulloblastoma, Neuroblastoma

What is being measured

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

Objective Response Rate
Defined as a patient who achieves a best response of partial response or complete response on the study. Confidence intervals will be constructed using the Wilson score interval method.
Measured: From enrollment to the end of treatment, up to 2 years

Secondary outcomes (2)

Progression Free Survival (PFS)
PFS is defined as time from initiation of protocol treatment to disease progression, recurrence, death from any cause, or date of last contact.
Measured: At 6 months
Percentage of Patients Experiencing Grade 3 or Higher Adverse Events
Assessed by National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0.
Measured: From enrollment to 30 days after the end of treatment, up to 2 years
