Study summary

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of ribociclib and everolimus and to see how well they work in treating patients with malignant brain tumors that have come back or do not respond to treatment. Ribociclib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as everolimus, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving ribociclib and everolimus may work better at treating malignant brain tumors.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of ribociclib and everolimus in children with refractory or recurrent central nervous system (CNS) tumors. (Phase I) II. To describe the toxicity profile and define the dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) of ribociclib and everolimus in children with refractory or recurrent CNS tumors. (Phase I) III. To characterize the pharmacokinetics of ribociclib and everolimus in children with refractory or recurrent CNS tumors, and the potential for drug-drug interactions between the two compounds in this population. (Phase I) IV. To characterize ribociclib concentrations in tumor, and plasma in children with refractory or recurrent CNS malignancies undergoing neurosurgical procedures. (Surgical Study)

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To describe the response rate of relapsed and refractory malignant brain tumors to ribociclib and everolimus in the context of a phase I study. (Phase I) II. To explore the effect of ribociclib treatment on Ki-67 by immunohistochemistry (IHC) by comparing archival and post-treatment tumor tissue. (Surgical Study)

TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To increase knowledge of the genomic landscape of treatment-refractory pediatric CNS tumors, including mechanisms of resistance and response.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.

Patients receive ribociclib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-21 of course 1 and subsequent courses and days 2-21 of course 2, and everolimus PO QD on days 3-28 of course 1 and days 1-28 of subsequent courses. Patients who are undergoing surgery also receive ribociclib PO QD on days 7-10 before surgery. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 13 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with stable disease after 13 courses may continue receiving ribociclib and everolimus every 28 days for up to 13 additional courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(25)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Histologically or cytologically confirmed

The diagnosis was confirmed by looking at a sample under a microscope: tissue from a biopsy or surgery (histology), or cells from a fluid or needle sample (cytology).

Your pathology report is the document that shows this.

Relapsed and refractory

Relapsed: the illness came back after treatment had worked. Refractory: it did not respond to treatment, or stopped responding while still on it.

Biopsy and archival tissue

A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to examine. “Archival tissue” is a sample already taken, for example at diagnosis, and kept by the hospital.

Whether a stored sample will do depends on when it was taken, how much there is and what the study needs. Ask whether the study accepts your stored sample or needs a new biopsy.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

CYP3A (CYP3A4) inhibitors and inducers

CYP3A is a group of enzymes, mainly CYP3A4, in the liver and gut that break down many medicines. Some medicines, supplements and foods (grapefruit, St John’s wort) slow them down or speed them up, which changes how much of a study drug stays in the body.

Studies list them so they can be avoided or switched; bring a list of everything you take, including supplements.

Karnofsky performance status (KPS)

A 0–100 scale of how well someone can carry out everyday activities. 100 is no complaints and no signs of illness; 70 is able to look after yourself but not to work or keep up normal activity; 50 is needing considerable help and frequent medical care.

Studies often ask for 60 or 70 and above. Your doctor gives the score.

Absolute neutrophil count (ANC)

The number of neutrophils, white blood cells that help fight infection, in a given amount of blood. Too few raises the risk of infection.

It is a count, not a percentage of the white cells. Limits are written in units that mean the same: ≥ 1.5 × 10⁹/L is ≥ 1,500 per mm³ (µL). Each lab has its own reference range.

Platelets

Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.

Hemoglobin (Hb)

The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).

Bilirubin

A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.

Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

Creatinine clearance (CrCl)

How quickly the kidneys clear creatinine, a waste product, from the blood. A study may estimate it from a blood test with age, weight and sex (often by the Cockcroft–Gault formula), or measure it using blood and urine collected over a set time. Given in mL/min; higher is better.

GFR and eGFR (kidney filtering)

GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².

Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

QT and QTc

On an ECG, the QT interval is the time the heart’s lower chambers take to activate electrically and recover in each beat. QTc is that time adjusted for heart rate (QTcF by Fridericia’s formula, QTcB by Bazett’s). Some medicines lengthen it, and a long QTc can raise the risk of a dangerous heart rhythm.

The study may name a correction formula and a limit in milliseconds, often around 450–480.

NYHA class (heart failure)

The New York Heart Association’s four classes of how much heart failure limits physical activity.

I
No limits: ordinary activity causes no undue tiredness or breathlessness.
II
Slight limits: comfortable at rest, ordinary activity causes symptoms.
III
Marked limits: comfortable at rest, less than ordinary activity causes symptoms.
IV
Symptoms even at rest; any activity makes them worse.

Studies set their own limit — many outside heart failure leave out class III–IV, while heart failure studies may ask for a particular class. Check the class this study names.

LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction)

The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.

ECG (electrocardiogram)

A recording of the heart’s electrical activity, taken with stickers on the chest, arms and legs. It takes a few minutes and does not hurt.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Excipients

The other ingredients in a medicine besides the active drug, such as fillers, colours or preservatives.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Maximum Tolerated Dose of Ribociclib and Everolimus

    Defined as the highest dose level at which six patients have been treated with at most one patient experiencing a dose limiting toxicity (DLT) and the next higher dose level has been determined to be too toxic. Will be estimated using a Rolling-6 phase I design. Only patients who are evaluable for DLT will be consider for estimating of Maximum Tolerated Dose. Patient who were enrolled under Surgical cohort but received sufficient study defined treatment would also be evaluable for DLT.

    Time frame: 4 weeks

  2. Average Tumor and Plasma Concentrations of Ribociclib for the Surgical Study

    Average tumor Ribociclib concentrations will be compared to plasma concentrations. The mean tumor-to-plasma ratio of Ribociclib at the time of surgery will be described.

    Time frame: Surgical study: Prior to starting ribociclib (day -7 or -10), prior to ribociclib dose on days -5 & -2, day 0, and at the time of surgery

Secondary outcomes

  1. Objective Responses (Complete Response + Partial Response)

    Number of patients with sustained objective responses will be reported by stratum and dose. Objective response refers to at least 50% reduction in 2 dimensional measurements of the tumor. In order to count towards this objective, any response needs to be sustained for at least 8 weeks.

    Time frame: Up to 2 years

  2. Percent Change in ki67 Between Archival and Post-treatment Tissue

    For the surgical study, Ki67 will be evaluated in paired pre-treatment tumor (diagnostic) and post-treatment tumor (recurrent) tissue in consenting patients to assess percent change. The percent of Ki67 in tumor tissues will be measured and the result is presented as the percent of Ki67 in post-treatment tumor minus the percent of Ki67 measured in pre-treatment tumor.

    Time frame: Up to 2 years

Other outcomes

  1. Ribociclib AUC (Area Under the Plasma Concentration Versus Time Curve) as Obtained From the Patients Who Received Phase I Defined Treatment

    Ribociclib plasma concentration-time data obtained from patients who received Phase I defined treatment will be modeled using compartmental approaches to estimate the AUC (hr\*μM) for each dose level on days 1 and 17 of course 1. Patients who were enrolled in the Surgical stratum but subsequently received Phase I defined treatment with PK data available will also be included in the analysis population. 5 patients from surgical stratum received dose level 1 treatment.

    Time frame: Pre-dose, 1, 2, 4, 8, 24, 32 (day 1 course 1 only), & 48 (day 1 course 1 only) hours after dose on days 1 and 17 of course 1.

  2. Everolimus AUC (Area Under the Plasma Concentration Versus Time Curve) as Obtained From the Phase I Study

    Everolimus plasma concentration-time data obtained from patients who received Phase I defined treatment will be modeled using compartmental approaches to estimate the AUC (hr\*nM) for each dose level on day 17 of course 1 and day 1 of course 2. Patients who were enrolled in the Surgical stratum but subsequently received Phase I defined treatment with PK data available will also be included in the analysis population. 5 patients from surgical stratum received dose level 1 treatment.

    Time frame: Pre-dose, 0.5 (course 2 only), 1, 1.5 (course 2 only), 2, 4, 6 (course 2 only), 8, 24 hours after dose on day 17 of course 1, and day 1 of course 2.

  3. Ribociclib Half-Life as Obtained From the Phase 1 Study

    Ribociclib plasma concentration-time data obtained from patients received Phase I defined treatment will be modeled using compartmental approaches to estimate the half-life (hrs) for each dose level on days 1 and 17 of course 1. Patients who were enrolled in the Surgical stratum but subsequently received Phase I defined treatment with PK data available will also be included in the analysis population. 5 patients from surgical stratum received dose level 1 treatment.

Outcome measures

PrimaryMaximum Tolerated Dose of Ribociclib and Everolimus

Defined as the highest dose level at which six patients have been treated with at most one patient experiencing a dose limiting toxicity (DLT) and the next higher dose level has been determined to be too toxic. Will be estimated using a Rolling-6 phase I design. Only patients who are evaluable for DLT will be consider for estimating of Maximum Tolerated Dose. Patient who were enrolled under Surgical cohort but received sufficient study defined treatment would also be evaluable for DLT.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Jan 2018 to primary completion in Apr 2020, 26 months.

Results were first posted in Aug 2021, 1 year 4 months after primary completion.

Of 166 non-industry phase 1 interventional studies under Glioma, half reached primary completion within 59 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 36 and three quarters within 87. This study's 26 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 213 studies reached it within 59 months; a quarter within 36 and three quarters within 88.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 27, 2021, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
