RELPALL is a single center, St Jude initiated, non-randomized single-arm phase I study to characterize the toxicity profile and to determine the maximum tolerated combination (MTC) and recommended phase II combination of palbociclib when given with chemotherapy in pediatric patients with relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Palbociclib is a reversible inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) and the closely related cyclin-depending kinase 6 (CDK6) that has shown high anti-leukemic activity in several pre-clinical models. The mechanism of palbociclib, which reversibly arrests cells in G1, argues that combination treatment, as opposed to single agent treatment, will be more likely to provide clinical benefit. Timing of combination treatment with standard cytotoxic chemotherapy drugs that kill actively dividing cells is important to maximize the chance of activity. This study will build on prior multiple myeloma experience with palbociclib in combination with dexamethasone and bortezomib while tailoring the treatment to pediatric relapsed/refractory ALL. To maximize G1 arrest, dexamethasone will be given concurrently with palbociclib for five days. Patients will receive a 48 hour "washout" before receiving bortezomib and doxorubicin, both cytotoxic anti-leukemic drugs that preferentially kills cells when synchronized in S phase. Patients with Philadelphia Chromosome positive ALL (Ph+) and Philadelphia-like (Ph-like) ALL will also receive a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) beginning on Day 7 until count recovery. The primary objective is to determine a tolerable combination of palbociclib plus chemotherapy in pediatric patients with relapsed or refractory ALL. The secondary objective is to estimate the overall response rate to the combination of palbociclib and chemotherapy in pediatric patients with relapsed or refractory ALL. Exploratory objectives include measuring cell cycle kinetics of ALL cells following administration of palbociclib and an evaluation of modes of resistance in non-responders.
