Palbociclib in Solid Tumor Patients With Genomic Alterations in the cyclinD-cdk4/6-INK4a-Rb Pathway: Results From National Cancer Institute-Children's Oncology Group Pediatric Molecular Analysis for Therapy Choice Trial Arm I (APEC1621I).

The National Cancer Institute-Children's Oncology Group Pediatric Molecular Analysis for Therapy Choice trial assigned patients age 1-21 years with relapsed or refractory solid tumors, lymphomas, and histiocytic disorders to phase II treatment arms of molecularly targeted therapies on the basis of genetic alterations detected in their tumor. Patients with tumors that harbored prespecified genomic alterations in the cyclinD-CDK4/6-INK4a-Rb pathway with intact Rb expression were assigned and treated with the cdk4/6 inhibitor palbociclib. Patients received palbociclib orally once daily for 21 days of 28-day cycles until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or up to 2 years. The primary end point was objective response rate; secondary end points included safety/tolerability and progression-free survival. Twenty-three patients (median age, 15 years; range, 8-21) were enrolled; 20 received protocol therapy and were evaluable for toxicity and response. Of the evaluable patients, the most common diagnoses were osteosarcoma (n = 9) and rhabdomyosarcoma (n = 6). A single actionable gene amplification was found in 19 tumors ( The CDK4/6 inhibitor palbociclib at 75 mg/m
