Palbociclib with or without Binimetinib or Binimetinib Alone in Treating Patients with Advanced KRAS Mutant Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
This randomized phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of palbociclib and binimetinib and to see how well they work in treating patients with KRAS mutant non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Palbociclib and binimetinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D), safety, and tolerability of the combination of palbociclib and binimetinib. (Phase I)
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Evaluate the pharmacokinetic properties for the combination of palbociclib and binimetinib. (Phase I)
II. Confirm target engagement of palbociclib and binimetinib in pre- and on-treatment tumor biopsies from patients enrolled to an MTD expansion cohort. (Phase I)
III. Assess serum- and plasma-based readouts of target engagement with the TK assays and KRAS allelic burden assay. (Phase I)
IV. Evaluate the preliminary clinical efficacy of palbociclib and binimetinib in KRAS mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). (Phase I)
V. Correlate pharmacodynamics (PD) assessments with pharmacokinetics (PK) and clinical outcome in the expansion cohort. (Phase I)
VI. Assess pathway adaptation by ribonucleic acid (RNA)-sequencing (seq) performed on pre- and on-treatment biopsies from patients enrolled to the expansion cohort. (Phase I)
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study. Patients are randomized into 1 of 3 arms. Patients in the expanded access cohort are assigned to Arm I.
ARM I: Patients receive palbociclib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-21 and binimetinib PO twice daily (BID) on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unexpected toxicity.
ARM II: Patients receive binimetinib PO BID on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unexpected toxicity.
ARM III: Patients receive palbociclib PO QD on days 1-21. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unexpected toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients in the dose escalation and expansion portion of the trial are followed up to 1 year and patients enrolled to the expanded access cohort are followed for 30 days.
