Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

This phase I trial studies the side effects of stereotactic radiosurgery with abemaciclib, ribociclib, or palbociclib in treating patients with hormone receptor positive breast cancer that has spread to the brain (brain metasteses). Stereotactic radiosurgery is a specialized radiation therapy that delivers a single, high dose of radiation directly to the tumor and may cause less damage to normal tissue. Abemaciclib, ribociclib, and palbociclib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving abemaciclib, ribociclib, or palbociclib concurrently with stereotactic radiosurgery may reduce the side effects and/or increase the response to each of the therapies.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

Pathologic diagnosis of hormone receptor positive (estrogen receptor >= 1 percent or progesterone receptor >= 1 percent) with HER2 negative status, past treatment, or systemic disease status with current clinical diagnosis of up to 10 brain metastases based on contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain
Plan to start or currently receiving an Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved CDK4/6 inhibitor (CDKi), which must be started no later than 2 weeks prior to planned radiosurgery with plan to continue CDKi following radiosurgery
Up to 10 brain metastases =< 3 centimeters in greatest dimension, measured on radiation planning MRI

Participant Groups
3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Treatment (ribociclib)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Beginning within 2 weeks prior to stereotactic radiosurgery, patients receive ribociclib PO QD on days 1-21. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Group II: Treatment (palbociclib)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Beginning within 2 weeks prior to stereotactic radiosurgery, patients receive palbociclib PO QD on days 1-21. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Group III: Treatment (abemaciclib)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Beginning within 2 weeks prior to stereotactic radiosurgery, patients receive abemaciclib PO BID. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
