CompletedPhase 2
Evaluation of ABEMACICLIB Monotherapy in Patients With Locally Advanced/Metastatic Head and Neck Cancer After Failure of Platinum and Cetuximab or Anti-EGFR-based Therapy and Harboring an Homozygous Deletion of CDKN2A, and/or an Amplification of CCND1 and/or of CDK6

Plain-language summary
This trial is an open-label, single arm, Phase II study using an A'Hern single stage design.
The molecular prescreening step will allow to defined HPV tumor status as well as molecular status CDKN2A, CCND1 and CDK6. Following this centralized molecular screening, only patients with HPV negative status and with tumor harboring CDKN2A homozygous deletion and/or CCND1 amplification and/or CDK6 amplification could initiate abemaciclib at time of documented radiological progression. Patients will be treated with ABEMACICLIB, 400 mg/day with 2 doses of 200 mg 12 hour apart (QH12). A cycle is defined as an interval of 28 days. For each 28-day cycle, a total of 56 doses of study drug will be dispensed.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* I1. Male or female patients aged ≥ 18 years at time of inform consent signature
* I2. Histologically proven metastatic or locally advanced HNSCC (oropharynx, oral cavity, hypopharynx and larynx). Patients with cancer of nasopharynx (i.e. cavum cancer) are not eligible
* I3. Availability of a representative formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) primary and/or metastatic tumor tissue with an associated pathology report for molecular pre-screening: either an archival tumor block or a dedicated freshly collected tumor biopsy.
* I4. Documented CDKN2A homozygous deletion and/or CCND1 amplification and/or CDK6 and/or CDK4 amplification and no deletion/losses more than single copy of RB1 by copy number data before C1D1.
Note: This molecular pre-screening will be centralized at at the CGH platform of Centre Léon Bérard (CLB).
Note: This molecular pre-screening will be centralized at the CGH platform of Centre Léon Bérard (CLB).
Note: This molecular pre-screening can be performed for patient without documented disease progression (PD) but study drug treatment cannot be initiated until confirmed radiological PD.
* I5. HPV negative tumor status must be documented before C1D1. Note: This analysis will be centralized and performed by translational Biopathology platform of CLB during molecular pre-screening by IHC for p16.
* I6. Documented radiological progression or relapse after at least platin and cetuximab or anti-EGFR-based chemotherapy (combination or sequ…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
