Study Summary

This trial is testing the safety and effectiveness of a new cancer drug.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children and young adults under 25 with acute lymphoblastic leukemia that's come back or didn't respond to treatment. They should be off certain medications, have no severe infections, and not be pregnant. Participants need functioning major organs and a minimum performance score indicating they can do daily activities.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the highest dose of palbociclib (a cancer drug) that's safe when given with chemotherapy in young patients with leukemia. It aims to understand the side effects and how this drug affects cancer cells in the body.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include those common to chemotherapy like nausea, hair loss, low blood cell counts leading to increased infection risk, fatigue, as well as potential liver issues. Palbociclib may also cause low white blood cell counts which can lead to infections.

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Cohort 2-(Ph+ / Ph like ALL subtypes):Experimental Treatment4 Interventions
Dose escalation phase- 12 subjects in Cohort 2, Palbociclib dose escalation will begin at 75 mg/m2/day, on Days 1 to 5; 11 to 15; and 21 to 30, and escalate or de escalate. All subjects will receive palbociclib with dexamethasone, bortezomib, and doxorubicin. dexamethasone of each 30 day cycle for up to 3 cycles for responders which include complete remission, complete remission morphologic, and partial response as defined in section 10.2.1. Bortezomib will be given on Days 7, 10, 17 and 20. Doxorubicin will be given on Days 7 and 17. Subjects with Ph+ / Ph-like mutation will receive a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI or KI, either dasatinib or ruxolitinib).3 on 3 dose escalation with 2 dose levels.
Group II: Cohort 1 -(without Ph+ / Ph like mutation)Experimental Treatment4 Interventions
Dose expansion phase-10 subjects in Cohort 1, 100 mg/m2/daily palbociclib on Days 1 to 5; 11 to 15; and 21 to 30, in combination with chemotherapy. All subjects will receive palbociclib with dexamethasone, bortezomib, and doxorubicin. dexamethasone of each 30 day cycle for up to 3 cycles for responders which include complete remission, complete remission morphologic, and partial response as defined in section 10.2.1. Bortezomib will be given on Days 7, 10, 17 and 20. Doxorubicin will be given on Days 7 and 17.
