- University of Washington
- Brief Summary
This phase II trial studies how well abemaciclib works in treating patients with digestive system neuroendocrine tumors that have spread to other places in the body, do not respond to treatment, and cannot be removed by surgery. Abemaciclib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
- Detailed Description
Patients receive abemaciclib orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-28. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days and then every 4 months for up to 1 year.

- All
- Target Recruitment
- 20
-
Histologically confirmed GEP NET, radiographically progressed on at least one line of standard therapy within the past 12 months
- Primary tumors may be in: pancreas, foregut (esophagus, stomach, duodenum), midgut (small intestine, appendix), hindgut (large intestine, rectum), or unknown origin
- Tumors may be functional (associated with clinical symptoms of hormone secretion) or non-functional
-
Well-differentiated NET with low grade (Ki67 index < 3% or mitotic index < 2 mitoses/10 high power field [HPF]), intermediate grade (Ki67 index 3-20% or mitotic index 2-20 mitoses/10 HPF), or high grade (Ki67 21% to ≤ 55% of mitotic index 21-55% mitoses/10 HPF). In cases where pathology reports call out only a "high grade neuroendocrine carcinoma", such patients are eligible only if well differentiated status is confirmed by a board-certified pathologist AND Ki-67 is ≤ 55%

-
Total bilirubin =< 1.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN)

- Receipt of any therapy or investigational agent within 4 weeks prior to study registration, except SSAs
- Any surgery, radiation, or embolization within 4 weeks
- Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) within 6 weeks
- Patients receiving other investigational agents
- Patients who have not recovered from adverse events of prior therapy to =< grade 1 (National Cancer Institute [NCI] Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events [CTCAE] version [v] 5), except for alopecia or grade =< 2 peripheral neuropathy prior to study treatment initiation. Subjects must have fully recovered from the acute effects of any prior radiotherapy

Group Intervention Description Treatment (abemaciclib) Abemaciclib Patients receive abemaciclib PO BID on days 1-28. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Objective response rate (ORR) Up to 1 year after completion of study treatment ORR defined as complete or partial response as per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version (v) 1.1, will be represented by a waterfall plot.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Progression-free survival From study registration to radiographic progression per RECIST v1.1 (investigator assessment), clinical progression, or death of any cause, assessed up to 1 year The distribution for survival times will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier; associated landmark time percentages and the median value will be based on this. Confidence intervals for median values will use the Brookmeyer-Crowley method. Survival outcomes between carcinoid tumors and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (PNET)s will be compared using a log-rank test.
Incidence of adverse events Up to 30 days Safety will be evaluated by assessing the adverse events according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.
Overall survival Time from study registration to death of any cause, assessed up to 1 year The distribution for survival times will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier; associated landmark time percentages and the median value will be based on this. Confidence intervals for median values will use the Brookmeyer-Crowley method. Survival outcomes between carcinoid tumors and PNETs will be compared using a log-rank test.
