Study Of Palbociclib Combined With Chemotherapy In Pediatric Patients With Recurrent/Refractory Solid Tumors
PHASE 1/2 STUDY TO EVALUATE PALBOCICLIB (IBRANCE®) IN COMBINATION WITH IRINOTECAN AND TEMOZOLOMIDE OR IN COMBINATION WITH TOPOTECAN AND CYCLOPHOSPHAMIDE IN PEDIATRIC PATIENTS WITH RECURRENT OR REFRACTORY SOLID TUMORS
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 7 Oct 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
A study to learn about safety and find out maximum tolerable dose of palbociclib given in combination with chemotherapy (temozolomide with irinotecan or topotecan with cyclophosphamide) in children, adolescents and young adults with recurrent or refractory solid tumors (phase 1). Neuroblastoma tumor specific cohort to further evaluate antitumor activity of palbociclib in combination with topotecan and cyclophosphamide in children, adolescents, and young adults with recurrent or refractory neuroblastoma. Phase 2 to learn about the efficacy of palbociclib in combination with irinotecan and temozolomide when compared with irinotecan and temozolomide alone in the treatment of children, adolescents, and young adults with recurrent or refractory Ewing sarcoma (EWS).

Criteria the registry did not label
- Inclusion:
- Histologically confirmed relapsed or refractory solid tumor as follows:
- For dose escalation and dose determination parts: Histologically confirmed relapsed or refractory solid tumor (including CNS tumors but not lymphomas). Patients with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma do not require histological only radiographic confirmed relapse to enroll.
- For dose expansion and tumor specific cohorts: Histologically confirmed relapsed or refractory solid tumor including but not limited to EWS, rhabdoid tumor, rhabdomyosarcoma, neuroblastoma, and medulloblastoma. Patients with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma do not require histological only radiographic confirmed relapse to enroll. EWS is not eligible for TOPO and CTX tumor-specific cohorts.
- For randomized Phase 2 part: Histologically confirmed Ewing sarcoma at diagnosis or at relapse, with presence of EWSR1-ETS or FUS-ETS rearrangement. Histopathology confirmation of both EWSR1-ETS or FUS-ETS rearrangement partners is required OR availability of formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue sample for central testing. Patient must have relapsed or have refractory disease and at least evaluable disease in at least one site other than bone marrow that can be followed by imaging.
- Age ≥2 and \<21 years at the time of study entry.
- Lansky performance status ≥50% for patients ≤16 years of age, or Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) 0, 1 or 2 for patients \>16 years of age.
- Adequate bone marrow function.
- Absolute neutrophil count ≥1000/mm3;
- Platelet count ≥75,000/mm3 (transfusion independent, no platelet transfusion in past 7 days prior study entry);
- Hemoglobin ≥8.5 g/dL (transfusion allowed).
- Adequate renal function: Serum creatinine level based on age/gender must within protocol specified limits.
- Adequate liver function, including:
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT)
- ≤2.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN) or ≤5 × ULN for age, if attributable to disease involvement of the liver;
- Total bilirubin ≤1.5 × ULN for age, unless the patient has documented Gilbert's syndrome.Patients with documented Gilbert's syndrome are eligible if direct bilirubin is within normal ranges (≤ULN).
- Patients enrolled to Phase 1 portion of the study and tumor specific cohorts must have measurable disease as defined by RECIST version 1.1 or modified RANO criteria for CNS disease or at least evaluable disease by INRC for neuroblastoma.
- The eligible patients with neuroblastoma must have at least one of the following at the time of study entry:
- Measurable tumor by CT or MRI that is avid on MIBG scan or demonstrates increased FDG uptake on PET scan;
- Avid lesion on MIBG scan with positive uptake at a minimum of one site;
- For disease that is not avid by MIBG-scan, at least one lesion that demonstrates increased FDG uptake on PET scan AND viable neuroblastoma confirmed by current or prior biopsy;
- bone marrow involvement with more than 5% neuroblastoma cells in at least one sample from bilateral bone marrow biopsies;
- In non MIBG-avid refractory soft tissue disease that does not demonstrate increased FDG uptake; lesion biopsy is required to document the presence of viable neuroblastoma, unless patient has a new soft tissue lesion (radiographic evidence of disease progression).
- Patients with EWS enrolled to Phase 2 portion of the study are eligible with evaluable disease (eg, bone only disease with no soft tissue component).
- Recovered to CTCAE Grade ≤1, or to baseline, from any non-hematological acute toxicities of prior surgery, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy, differentiation therapy or biologic therapy, with the exception of alopecia.
- Serum/urine pregnancy test (for all girls ≥8 years of age) negative at screening and at the baseline visit.
- Exclusion:
- Phase 1 and tumor specific cohorts: For palbociclib with IRN and TMZ combination, prior treatment with a CDK4/6 inhibitor or progression while on treatment with an IRN-containing regimen that includes TMZ. Patients who have received the combination of IRN and TMZ and did not progress while on these medications are eligible. For patients enrolling in the palbociclib with TOPO and CTX combination, prior treatment with a CDK4/6 inhibitor or progression while on treatment with a TOPO-containing regimen that includes CTX. Patients who have received the combination of TOPO and CTX and did not progress while on these medications are eligible. Phase 2 portion: prior treatment with a CDK4/6 inhibitor or progression while on treatment with an IRN-containing or TMZ-containing regimen.

- Patients with known symptomatic brain tumors or brain metastases and require steroids, unless they have been on a stable or on a decreasing steroid dose for \>14 days.
- Patients with previously diagnosed brain metastases are eligible if they have completed their prior treatment and have recovered from the acute effects of radiation therapy or surgery prior to study entry for these metastases for at least 14 days post radiation and 4 weeks post-surgery and are neurologically stable.

- Uncorrected hypomagnesemia or hypokalemia because of potential effects on the QT interval;

Screening for viral hepatitis and HIV is under discretion of investigator unless required by local regulation.
- Severe acute or chronic medical or laboratory test abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or investigational product administration or may interfere with the interpretation of study results, and in the judgment of the Investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study.
