A Phase 2 Trial of Ribociclib (LEE011) and Letrozole in ER Positive Relapsed Ovarian Cancer, Fallopian Tube Cancer, Primary Peritoneal Carcinomas, and Endometrial Cancers.
A Phase 2 Trial of Ribociclib (LEE011) and Letrozole in ER Positive Relapsed Ovarian Cancer, Fallopian Tube Cancer, Primary Peritoneal Carcinomas, and Endometrial Cancers.
This phase II trial studies how well ribociclib and letrozole work in treating patients with estrogen receptor (ER) positive ovarian, fallopian tube, primary peritoneal, or endometrial cancer that has returned (come back) after a period of improvement. Ribociclib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some enzymes needed for cell growth. Cancer cells that are estrogen receptor positive may need estrogen to grow. Letrozole lowers the amount of estrogen made by the body and this may stop the growth of tumor cells that need estrogen to grow. Giving ribociclib together with letrozole may be an effective treatment in patients with ovarian, fallopian tube, primary peritoneal, or endometrial cancer.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Demonstrate if the combination of letrozole and ribociclib (LEE011) leads to a higher percentage of patients who are progression free at 12 weeks (PFS 12) as compared with that observed in prior studies with single agent letrozole.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Demonstrate if the combination of letrozole and ribociclib (LEE011) leads to a higher cancer antigen 125 (CA-125) response rate in patients with relapsed ER positive ovarian cancers and endometrial cancers as compared to that observed in previously reported single agent letrozole studies.
II. Median progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), the confirmed response rate, and adverse events.
TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Identify molecular biomarkers associated with a response to treatment with letrozole and ribociclib (LEE011) (in patients with relapsed ovarian carcinomas and endometrial cancers).
II. Develop patient derived xenograft (PDX) avatars on tumors from participants for possible future translational study evaluating a potential correlation between responses in the PDX model to patients' responses.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive ribociclib orally (PO) daily and letrozole PO daily on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3-6 months for 2 years.
Inclusion Criteria:
Exclusion Criteria:
Patients who have central nervous system (CNS) involvement unless they meet ALL of the following criteria:
Patient has any other concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled medical condition that would, in the investigator's judgment, cause unacceptable safety risks, contraindicate patient participation in the clinical study or compromise compliance with the protocol (e.g. chronic pancreatitis, chronic active hepatitis, active untreated or uncontrolled fungal, bacterial or viral infections, etc.)
Clinically significant, uncontrolled heart disease or cardiac repolarization abnormalities and/or recent events including any of the following:
Inability to determine the QTcF interval on the ECG (i.e.: unreadable or not interpretable) or QTcF > 450 msec (using Fridericia's correction); NOTE: all as determined by screening ECG
Patient is currently receiving any of the following medications and cannot be discontinued =< 7 days prior to starting study drug: known strong inducers or inhibitors of cytochrome P450 family 3, subfamily A, polypeptide 4/5 (CYP3A4/5) including grapefruit, grapefruit hybrids, pummelos, star-fruit, and Seville oranges or that have a narrow therapeutic window and are predominantly metabolized through CYP3A4/5 or herbal preparations/medications or dietary supplements
Patient is currently receiving or has received systemic corticosteroids within =< 2 weeks prior to starting study drug, or who have not fully recovered from side effects of such treatment; NOTE: the following uses of corticosteroids are permitted: single doses, topical applications (e.g., for rash), inhaled sprays (e.g., for obstructive airways diseases), eye drops or local injections (e.g., intra-articular)
Patient has received radiotherapy =< 4 weeks or limited field radiation for palliation =< 2 weeks prior to starting study drug, and who has not recovered to grade 1 or better from related side effects of such therapy (exceptions include alopecia) and/or in whom >= 30% of the bone marrow was irradiated
Patient has had major surgery =< 14 days prior to registration or has not recovered from major side effects (tumor biopsy is not considered as major surgery)
Known to be human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive (testing not mandatory)
Patient has a known hypersensitivity to any of the excipients of ribociclib
Patient is currently receiving warfarin or other Coumarin-derived anticoagulant for treatment, prophylaxis or otherwise; NOTE: therapy with apixaban, dabigatran, heparin, low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) or fondaparinux is allowed
Participation in a prior investigational study within 30 days prior to enrollment or =< 5 half-lives of the investigational product, whichever is longer
Patient has not recovered from all toxicities related to prior anticancer therapies to National Cancer Institute (NCI)-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0 grade < 3 (exception to this criterion: patients with any grade of alopecia or neuropathy are allowed to enter the study)
Patient with a Child-Pugh score B or C
Patient has impairment of gastrointestinal (GI) function or GI disease that may significantly alter the absorption of the study drugs (e.g., ulcerative diseases, uncontrolled nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, malabsorption syndrome, or significant small bowel resection)
Prior therapy with ribociclib or an aromatase inhibitor (letrozole, anastrozole or exemestane)
Patient has received systemic chemotherapy =< 3 weeks prior to registration
