Study Summary

This trial is testing the effects ofpalbociclib in patients with cancer that has genetic changes called CCND1, 2, or 3 amplification. Palbociclib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking proteins called CDK4 and CDK6.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with cancers that have specific genetic changes called CCND1, 2, or 3 amplification. They must not have breast cancer, mantle cell lymphoma or myeloma and should not be on certain drugs affecting heart rhythm. Prior treatment with CDK4/6 inhibitors disqualifies them.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests Palbociclib's effectiveness in stopping the growth of cancers with CCND1, 2, or 3 amplifications by blocking proteins CDK4 and CDK6. It's a phase II study to see if this drug can shrink these types of cancers or halt their progression.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Palbociclib may cause side effects like low white blood cell counts (which can lead to increased infection risk), fatigue, nausea, hair thinning or loss, nosebleeds, mouth sores and diarrhea.

"Palbociclib's safety has been demonstrated to a certain degree in Phase 2 trials, meriting it an assessment of '2' on our 1-3 scale. However, efficacy data is still lacking."

Answered by AI

Are there any current opportunities for individuals to participate in this trial?

"This medication trial is not presently enrolling, as the posting on clinicaltrials.gov indicates it was last modified on September 14th 2022. Nonetheless, 4116 other studies are currently recruiting patients for their trials."

Answered by AI

Are there any other experiments conducted with Palbociclib that have been documented?

"Currently, 133 study groups are examining palbociclib. Of those trials, 16 have reached the 3rd phase of their research. Several locations in Burgas, New jersey are running studies for this medication; however, there are 6577 sites worldwide with active clinical trials related to palbociclib."

Answered by AI

How many participants comprise this research endeavor?

"Unfortunately, this research has stopped taking on new candidates. Initially posted in May of 2016, the trial was last revised in September of 2022. However, if you are still looking to get involved with clinical trials regarding lymphoma there are 3983 studies currently open and 133 related to Palbociclib that need volunteers."
