Palbociclib and Dexamethasone in Treating Participants With Relapsed or Refractory B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
- Conditions
- Refractory B Acute Lymphoblastic LeukemiaRecurrent B Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
- Interventions
- Registration Number
- NCT03472573
- Brief Summary
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of palbociclib when given together with dexamethasone in treating participants with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia that has come back after a period of improvement or does not respond to treatment. Palbociclib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Dexamethasone is a steroid medication that is used in combination with other medications to treat B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Giving palbociclib together with dexamethasone may work better in treating patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
- Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the dose and schedule of the combination of palbociclib and dexamethasone in patients with relapsed or refractory adult B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).
ii. To determine the safety and tolerability of the combination of palbociclib and dexamethasone in patients with relapsed or refractory adult B-cell ALL.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate the activity of palbociclib in combination with dexamethasone in patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell ALL.

Group Intervention Description Treatment (palbociclib, dexamethasone) Palbociclib INDUCTION: Participants receive palbociclib PO daily and dexamethasone PO daily for 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Participants with disease response (M0, M1, or M2) continue to Maintenance. Patients without a disease response discontinue treatment. MAINTENANCE: Participants receive dexamethasone with a taper PO daily on days 1-7. Participants also receive palbociclib daily on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Incidence of dose limiting toxicities (DLT) of the combination of palbociclib and dexamethasone Up to 28 days after discontinuation of palbociclib and dexamethasone Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.03 should be used for grading.
Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the combination of palbociclib and dexamethasone defined as the highest dose level where a DLT occurs in at most one out of six patients treated Up to 28 days after discontinuation of palbociclib and dexamethasone CTCAE version 4.03 should be used for grading.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Clinically relevant responses to therapy determined by bone marrow biopsy Up to 1 year Response rate defined as the proportion of patients who achieve an M, M1, or M2 response will be estimated along with a 95% confidence interval.
