Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

  • Evidence of untreated or progressive brain metastases, spinal cord compression, or carcinomatous meningitis.
  • A serious uncontrolled medical disorder or active infection that would impair their ability to receive study treatment.
  • Dementia or significantly altered mental status that would prohibit the understanding or rendering of informed consent and compliance with the requirements of this protocol.

  • Patients residing in prison.
  • Prior experimental therapy within 30 days of enrollment.
  • Availability of curative treatment option for the patient's cancer, whether surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, or combination thereof, unless the patient has documented refusal of curative treatment.
  • Current use or anticipated inability to avoid use of drugs that are known strong CYP3A4/5 inhibitors (atazanavir, boceprevir, conivaptan, clarithromycin, grapefruit or grapefruit juice, indinavir, itraconazole, ketoconazole, nelfinavir, nefazodone, posaconazole, ritonavir, saquinavir, telaprevir, telithromycin, voriconazole ).

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percent Disease Control Rate (DCR)
Time Frame: 12 weeks
The primary clinical objective of this trial is to estimate disease control rate (DCR) at 12 weeks in patients with metastatic head and neck squamous cell cancer treated with carboplatin and palbociclib. DCR will be defined as either CR (Complete Response: Disappearance of all target lesions, determined by two separate observations conducted not less than 4 weeks apart. There can be no appearance of new lesions.), PR (Partial Response: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD. There can be no appearance of new lesions.) or SD (Stable Disease: Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum LD since the treatment started.) at 12 weeks.
12 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Median Progression Free Survival Time
Time Frame: Up to 2 Years
Progression-free survival (PFS) is defined as the duration of time from start of treatment to time of progression. Progressive disease is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the LD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started, or the appearance of one or more new lesions. Estimated using a Kaplan-Meier analysis.
Up to 2 Years
Median Overall Survival Time
Time Frame: Up to 2 Years
Overall survival is defined as the time from study enrollment to death from any cause. Estimated using a Kaplan-Meier analysis.
Up to 2 Years
Number of Treatment-related Toxicities
Time Frame: Up to 2 years
Number of adverse events believed to be related (i.e., possibly, probably, or definitely) to palbociclib in combination with carboplatin, reported by grade according to the Common Terminology for Adverse Events version 4.0 (CTCAE v4).
Up to 2 years
