Abstract
Genomic aberrations in the cell cycle and mTOR pathways have been reported in diffuse pontine gliomas (DIPG) and high-grade gliomas (HGG). Dual inhibition of CDK4/6 (ribociclib) and mTOR (everolimus) has strong biologic rationale, non-overlapping single-agent toxicities, and adult clinical experience. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended phase two dose (RP2D) of ribociclib and everolimus administered during maintenance therapy following radiotherapy was determined in the phase I study as a rolling 6 design. Ribociclib and everolimus were administered once daily for 21 days and 28 days, respectively starting two-four weeks post completion of radiotherapy. All HGG patients and any DIPG patient who had undergone biopsy were screened for RB protein by immunohistochemistry. Eighteen eligible patients enrolled (median age 8 years; range: 2–18). Six patients enrolled at dose levels 1,2, and 3 without dose limiting toxicities (DLT). Currently, five patients are enrolled at dose level 3 expansion cohort. The median number of cycles are 4.5 (range: 1–20+). Among the expansion cohort, one dose limiting toxicity included a grade 3 infection and one patient required a dose reduction in course 3 due to grade 3 ALT and grade 4 hypokalemia. The most common grade 3/4 adverse events included neutropenia. Preliminary pharmacokinetic studies on 12 patients suggest an impact of ribociclib on everolimus pharmacokinetics. The MTD/RP2D of ribociclib and everolimus following radiotherapy in newly diagnosed DIPG and HGG is anticipated to be 170 mg/m2/day x 21 days and 1.5 mg/ m2/day every 28 days which is equivalent to the adult RP2D.
