Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
I. To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose limiting toxicities (DLT) of various combinations with palbociclib in patients with relapsed and refractory leukemias.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess pharmacodynamic effects of palbociclib on the Cyclin-CDK-Rb axis in leukemic blasts of patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) leukemias.
II. To explore the efficacy (complete response \[CR\], complete remission without platelet recovery \[CRp\], complete remission without blood count recovery \[CRi\], partial response \[PR\], or clinical benefit \[CB\]) of palbociclib as a single-agent and in combinations in patients with R/R leukemias.
III. To explore biomarkers of response and resistance in patients with R/R leukemias treated with palbociclib.
IV. To assess the safety and tolerability of one cycle of single-agent palbociclib in patients with R/R leukemias.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of sorafenib, decitabine, and dexamethasone. Patients are assigned to 1 of 3 arms.
ARM I: Patients receive palbociclib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-28. Patients also receive sorafenib PO QD on days 1-28 beginning on cycle 2. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 8 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
ARM II: Patients receive palbociclib as in Arm I. Beginning cycle 2, patients receive palbociclib PO QC on days 1-7 and decitabine intravenously (IV) QD over 1 hour on days 8-17 of cycle 2 and days 8-12 of cycles 3-8. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 8 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
ARM III: Patients receive palbociclib as in Arm I. Patients also receive dexamethasone PO QD or IV over 15-30 minutes on days 1-4 and 15-18 beginning on cycle 2. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 8 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up periodically.
