- Brief Summary
This phase I trial studies the side effects of stereotactic radiosurgery with abemaciclib, ribociclib, or palbociclib in treating patients with hormone receptor positive breast cancer that has spread to the brain (brain metasteses). Stereotactic radiosurgery is a specialized radiation therapy that delivers a single, high dose of radiation directly to the tumor and may cause less damage to normal tissue. Abemaciclib, ribociclib, and palbociclib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving abemaciclib, ribociclib, or palbociclib concurrently with stereotactic radiosurgery may reduce the side effects and/or increase the response to each of the therapies.
- Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. Prospectively evaluate safety and toxicity of the combination of radiosurgery (SRS) and concurrent CDK 4/6 inhibitors (CDKi) for hormone receptor positive (HR+) breast cancer patients.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Evaluate late toxicity (after 3 months) following SRS and concurrent CDKi. II. Evaluate local control efficacy with combination therapy of SRS and concurrent CDKi.
III. Assess quality of life and neurologic functional outcomes following treatment using standardized questionnaire (Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Brain \[FACT-Br\]).
IV. Analyze overall survival.
OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to 1 of 3 groups.
GROUP I: Beginning within 2 weeks prior to stereotactic radiosurgery, patients receive abemaciclib orally (PO) twice daily (BID). Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
GROUP II: Beginning within 2 weeks prior to stereotactic radiosurgery, patients receive ribociclib PO once daily (QD) on days 1-21. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
GROUP III: Beginning within 2 weeks prior to stereotactic radiosurgery, patients receive palbociclib PO QD on days 1-21. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days, 4-6 weeks post stereotactic radiosurgery, and then every 3 months for up to 1 year.

- Patients must be able to sign informed consent prior to study entry, including assent to standard of care post-treatment surveillance contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of the brain
- Patients who are enrolled in the study, and who continue to be prescribed CDK4/6 inhibitor therapy and develop new brain metastases deemed treatable by radiosurgery, are specifically allowed to be re-treated while on study, and the new treated lesions will be separately counted by treatment category (1 to 3, 4 to 6, or 7 to 10 new treated lesions)
- Patients with prior treated brain metastases (radiosurgery, hypofractionated radiotherapy, or surgery) are eligible for the study regardless of prior history of asymptomatic or symptomatic radiation necrosis and may not be excluded from the study if that is the sole basis for exclusion
-
Patients with current or prior invasive malignancy unless disease free for minimum of 1 year
-
Brain metastases > 3 cm
-
Brain lesions causing midline shift or herniation > 1 cm
-
Patients with unirradiated post-neurosurgical metastasectomy resection cavities, unless disease-free in the surgical bed for >= 6 months, are prohibited from pilot study enrollment
-
No patients who require resection cavity radiation for treatment of a resected brain metastasis (i.e.: standard of care treatment) are eligible for enrollment
-
Receipt of chemotherapeutic agents (other than CDK4/6 inhibitors or hormone receptor-related targeted agents) within 2 weeks of planned radiosurgery date
-
Prior whole brain or craniospinal radiotherapy
-
Fractionated radiation to unrelated central nervous system (CNS) tumor
-
Concurrent malignant CNS tumor
-
Recurrent or progressive brain metastasis necessitating surgical or medical intervention (i.e.: a non-radiotherapy intervention such as steroids)
-
Recurrence or progressive brain metastasis from prior surgical resection necessitating surgical or medical intervention (i.e.: a non-radiotherapy intervention)
-
Brain stem metastasis >= 1 cm
-
Patients with scleroderma
-
Severe acute co-morbidity, defined as follows:
- Unstable angina and/or congestive heart failure requiring hospitalization in the last 3 months
- Transmural myocardial infarction within the last 6 months
- Acute bacterial or fungal infection requiring intravenous antibiotics at the time of registration
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbation or other respiratory illness requiring hospitalization in the last 6 months or precluding study therapy due to inability to rest supine at the time of registration

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Incidence of grade 3+ radiation therapy oncology central nervous system toxicity At 3 months Rate and frequency of grade 3+ toxicity will be reported. A 95% exact confidence interval will be estimated using the Clopper-Pearson method.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Symptomatic radiation necrosis (late toxicity) At 6 and 12 months Will be defined as radiographic (typically on magnetic resonance imaging) changes consistent with radiation induced necrosis and the patient presenting with increased neurological symptoms. Rate and frequency of late toxicity will be reported, and a 95% exact confidence interval will be estimated. Symptomatic radiation necrosis similarly will be summarized. The rate of radiation necrosis will be compared with that of our institutional historical control.
Intracranial failure within treated lesion Up to 1 year Will be defined by progressive lesion either biopsy-proven or with imaging interpretation concordance by both radiation oncologist and neuroradiologist on serial imaging. The cumulative incidence approach will be used to estimate the failure rates for intracranial failure of treated lesion and distant intracranial failures.
Distant intracranial failure Up to 1 year New lesions will be defined by new contrast-enhancing brain lesions on magnetic resonance imaging. The cumulative incidence approach will be used to estimate the failure rates for intracranial failure of treated lesion and distant intracranial failures.
Overall survival Up to 1 year The Kaplan-Meier method will be used to estimate the overall survival rates.
Quality of life (QoL) Up to 1 year Will be assessed by Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Brain (FACT-Br) at pre- and post-radiosurgery. Will be summarized using frequencies and percentages for categorical variables, and mean, standard deviation, median, and range for continuous variables. Paired tests such as paired t-tests and McNemar's tests will be considered for comparing QoL outcomes pre- versus post-radiosurgery.
