Ribociclib in Treating Patients With Advanced Neuroendocrine Tumors of Foregut Origin

Exclusion Criteria

• •Patient has a known hypersensitivity to LEE011 or any of its excipients
• •Patients with known or suspected brain metastases; however, if radiation therapy and/or surgery has been completed and serial evaluation by computed tomography (CT) (with contrast enhancement) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) over a minimum of 3 months demonstrates the disease to be stable and if the patient remains asymptomatic, then the patient may be enrolled; such patients must have no need for treatment with steroids or anti-epileptic medications
• •Patients with concurrent malignancies or malignancies within 3 years prior to starting study drug (with the exception of tumors common to a single genetic cancer syndrome, i.e. MEN1, MEN2, von Hippel-Lindau \[vHL\], tuberous sclerosis complex \[TSC\] etc., or adequately treated, basal cell skin cancer, squamous cell carcinoma, non-melanoma skin cancer or curatively resected cervical cancer)
• •Patient is not able to swallow oral medication and/or has impairment of gastrointestinal (GI) function or GI disease that may significantly alter the absorption of the study drugs (e.g., ulcerative diseases, uncontrolled nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, malabsorption syndrome, or small bowel resection)
• •Known diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or hepatitis C (testing is not mandatory)
• •Patient has any other concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled medical condition that would, in the investigator's judgment, contraindicate patient participation in the clinical study (e.g. chronic pancreatitis, chronic active hepatitis, etc.)
• •Patient who has received radiotherapy within less than or equal to 4 weeks or limited field radiation for palliation within less than or equal to 2 weeks prior to starting study drug, and who has not recovered to grade 1 or better from related side effects of such therapy (exceptions include alopecia) and/or in whom greater than or equal to 30% of the bone marrow was irradiated
• •Patient has had major surgery within 14 days prior to starting study drug or has not recovered from major side effects (tumor biopsy is not considered as major surgery)
• •Impaired cardiac function or clinically significant cardiac diseases, including any of the following: a) history of acute coronary syndromes (including myocardial infarction, unstable angina, coronary artery bypass grafting, coronary angioplasty, or stenting) or symptomatic pericarditis less than 12 months prior to screening b) history of documented congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association functional classification III-IV) c) documented cardiomyopathy d) patient has a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) less than 50% as determined by multiple gated acquisition (MUGA) scan or echocardiogram (ECHO) at screening e) history of ventricular, supraventricular, nodal arrhythmias, or any other cardiac arrhythmias, long QT syndrome or conduction abnormality within 12 months prior to starting study drug f) congenital long QT syndrome or a family history of corrected QT interval (QTc) prolongation g) on screening, inability to determine the corrected QT for Fridericia (QTcF) interval on the electrocardiogram (ECG) (i.e.: unreadable or not interpretable) or QTcF \> 450 msec (using Fridericia's correction); all as determined by screening ECG (mean of triplicate ECGs)
• •Systolic blood pressure greater than 160 mmHg or less than 90 mmHg at screening
• •Patients who are currently receiving treatment with agents that are known to cause QTc prolongation or inducing Torsade de Pointes in humans and are unable to discontinue or switch to an alternate medication
• •Patients who are currently receiving treatment (within 5 days prior to starting study drug) with agents that are known strong inducers or inhibitors of cytochrome P450, family 3, subfamily A polypeptide 4 (CYP3A4)/cytochrome P450, family 3, subfamily A polypeptide 5 (5), or that have a narrow therapeutic window and are predominantly metabolized through CYP3A4/5
• •Patients with concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled concurrent medical conditions that could compromise participation in the study (e.g., uncontrolled diabetes mellitus defined by a glucose greater than 1.5 ULN in spite of adequate medical treatment, clinically significant pulmonary disease, clinically significant neurological disorder, active or uncontrolled infection)
• •Patient has a history of non-compliance to medical regimen or inability to grant consent
• •Pregnant or lactating women, where pregnancy is defined as the state of a female after conception and until the termination of gestation, confirmed by a positive hCG laboratory test (greater than 5 mIU/mL)
• •Women of child-bearing potential, defined as all women physiologically capable of becoming pregnant, unless they are using effective methods of contraception throughout the study and for 8 weeks after study drug discontinuation; highly effective contraception methods include: total abstinence when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient; periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception; female sterilization (have had surgical bilateral oophorectomy with or without hysterectomy) or tubal ligation at least six weeks before taking study treatment; in case of oophorectomy alone, only when the reproductive status of the woman has been confirmed by follow up hormone level assessment; male sterilization (at least 6 months prior to screening); for female patients on the study, the vasectomized male partner should be the sole partner for that patient; combination of any of the two following (a+b or a+c or b+c) a. use of oral, injected or implanted hormonal methods of contraception or other forms of hormonal contraception that have comparable efficacy (failure rate \< 1%), for example hormone vaginal ring or transdermal hormone contraception b. placement of an intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS) c. barrier methods of contraception: condom or occlusive cap (diaphragm or cervical/vault caps) with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/vaginal suppository; in case of use of oral contraception, women should have been stable on the same pill before taking study treatment; note: oral contraceptives are allowed but should be used in conjunction with a barrier method of contraception; women are considered post-menopausal and not of child bearing potential if they have had 12 months of natural (spontaneous) amenorrhea with an appropriate clinical profile (e.g. age appropriate, history of vasomotor symptoms) or have had surgical bilateral oophorectomy (with or without hysterectomy) or tubal ligation at least six weeks ago; in the case of oophorectomy alone, only when the reproductive status of the woman has been confirmed by follow up hormone level assessment is she considered not of child bearing potential
• •Sexually active males unless they use a condom during intercourse while taking the drug and for 21 days after stopping treatment and should not father a child in this period; a condom is required to be used also by vasectomized men in order to prevent delivery of the drug via seminal fluid
• •Patients unwilling or unable to comply with the protocol
• •Patient is currently receiving warfarin or other coumarin-derived anticoagulant for treatment, prophylaxis or otherwise; therapy with heparin, low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) or fondaparinux is allowed
