Abstract

Lessons Learned

  • Palbociclib demonstrated no detectable activity in molecularly unselected and heavily pretreated patients with advanced grade 1/2 pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.

  • Predictive biomarkers that improve patient selection should be investigated in future studies of palbociclib.

Background

Palbociclib, a CDK4/6 inhibitor, has shown in vitro activity in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (pNET) cell lines. Here we prospectively assessed the activity and safety of palbociclib in monotherapy in metastatic refractory pNETs.

Methods

This was a nonrandomized, open‐label, phase II study of patients with metastatic grade (G)1/2 pNETs recruited from 10 centers in Spain. Palbociclib 125 mg was orally administered once daily for 21 of 28 days until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Results

Twenty‐one patients were included; 52.4% were men, and median age was 57.4 years (range, 37.4–73.4). Patients had previously received a median of three prior lines of systemic therapy (range, 1–10) for advanced disease (somatostatin analogues, 71.4%; sunitinib, 81.0%; everolimus, 47.6%; chemotherapy, 47.6%). Nineteen patients were evaluated for objective response rate (ORR), with a median follow‐up of 12.4 months (range, 7.53–19.33). No objective and confirmed responses were observed (0%); 11 (57.9%) patients had stable disease, and 6 of them lasted more than 6 months; 8 (42.1%) patients had disease progression as best response. Median progression‐free survival (PFS) was 2.6 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 0–14.4) and median overall survival (OS) was 18.7 months (95% CI, 7.4–29.9; Fig. 1). Most frequent toxicities of any grade were asthenia (76.2%), neutropenia (42.9%), diarrhea (33.3%), and nausea (33.3%). Five (23.8%) patients developed G3–4 neutropenia and two (9.5%) patients developed G3–4 thrombocytopenia.

Conclusion

Lack of activity was observed with palbociclib as a single agent in molecularly unselected and heavily pretreated patients with advanced G1/2 pNETs.

Discussion

The cyclin‐dependent kinases (CDKs) regulating cell cycle progression have long been viewed as promising targets for cancer therapy. Third‐generation CDK4/6 inhibitors are highly selective and present limited toxicity and potent in vivo activity and include palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib among others [1]. These drugs received US Food and Drug Administration and European Medicines Agency approval for the treatment of hormone receptor‐positive and HER2‐negative breast cancer in combination with either aromatase inhibitors or fulvestrant based on significant improvements in PFS [2]. In these studies, hazard ratios for PFS were similar for the three drugs and ranged between 0.46 and 0.58 for palbociclib, 0.55 and 0.59 for ribociclib, and 0.54 and 0.55 for abemaciclib when compared with the standard hormonal therapy [1]. Palbociclib has been also tested in monotherapy in phase II trials in a variety of solid tumors, such as gastric and esophageal cancer [3], advanced non‐small cell lung cancer [4], well‐differentiated or dedifferentiated liposarcoma [5, 6], urothelial carcinoma (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02334527), and epithelial ovarian cancer [7].

Patients included in our study had been diagnosed with well‐differentiated G1‐G2 pNETs (Ki‐67 ≤ 20%) and presented advanced or metastatic disease that had progressed to at least one line of previous systemic treatment. However, although in approved indications CDK4/6 inhibitors are used in combination with aromatase inhibitors or letrozole, here we analyzed the efficacy and safety of palbociclib in monotherapy in molecularly unselected patients. Furthermore, in our study the patients were heavily pretreated, as the median time since initial diagnosis of the disease was 54.8 months and two‐thirds of the patients (66.7%) had received at least two prior lines of systemic treatments, including 81% of patients who had been pretreated with sunitinib and 47% with everolimus. This may have selected a population of patients with poor prognosis because of a high tumoral burden and advanced progressive disease. In our study palbociclib did not meet the primary endpoint (ORR ≥5%), and median PFS was only 2.6 (95% CI, 0.0–14.4) months (Fig. 2). Although there were no objective responses, a proportion of patients (57.9%) presented disease stabilization, of which 54.5% lasted for ≥6 months. Current targeted therapies approved for pNETs include sunitinib, which showed a median PFS of 11.4 months versus 5.5 months of placebo [8], and everolimus, with a median PFS of 11.4 months versus 5.4 months of placebo [9]. Reported ORR in these trials were 9.3% versus 0% for placebo and 4.8% for everolimus versus 2% for placebo.

Clearly there is a need for predictive biomarkers that could allow better patient selection. No correlation between the clinical outcome and the expression of RB1, Ki‐67, and p16 on the tumor tissue was observed [10].

Palbociclib (PD0332991) is a small molecule with highly specific and reversible inhibitory activity against cyclin‐dependent kinases (CDK) 4 (IC50, 0.011 μmol/L) and CDK6 (IC50, 0.016 μmol/L). It shows a potent antiproliferative activity in RB‐positive tumor cells in vitro, inducing G1 arrest [5, 1113] in pNET cell lines overexpressing CDK4 [14]. Studies have also demonstrated activity of palbociclib in colon cancer, glioblastoma, breast cancer, and prostate tumor xenografts [13, 15, 16]. Palbociclib (Ibrance, Pfizer) received accelerated approval in 2015 by the US Food and Drug Administration, in combination with letrozole, for the treatment of hormone receptor‐positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER2)‐negative advanced breast cancer after endocrine‐based therapy [17, 18]. On the basis of these findings, the aim of our study was to analyze the efficacy and safety of palbociclib in monotherapy in patients with well‐differentiated (grade [G]1 or 2, Ki‐67 ≤ 20%) advanced pNETs that had progressed on at least one line of previous systemic treatment.

However, we did not detect activity of palbociclib in molecularly unselected and heavily pretreated patients with advanced G1/2 pNETs. The adverse events observed were consistent with previous reports.

In our view, the development of predictive biomarkers for better patient selection is necessary if future palbociclib studies are considered. The emergence of somatic RB1 inactivating mutations has been observed in patients after exposure to palbociclib and ribociclib, suggesting that they developed under selective pressure of therapy [19]. The use of RB1 and p16 as predictive biomarkers of response to CDK4/6 inhibitors has not been studied in detail, mainly because most clinical trials avoided the inclusion of patients with RB1‐negative disease [20]. Resistance to palbociclib has also been correlated with high levels of expression of the CCNE1 gene encoding cyclin E1, suggesting that this is a potential biomarker of resistance to this drug [21]. Translational studies correlating palbociclib activity with Ki‐67 proliferation index are ongoing.
