OncoMatch/Clinical Trials/NCT06377852
The CDK4/6 Inhibitor Dosing Knowledge (CDK) Study
Is NCT06377852 recruiting? Yes, currently enrolling (May 2026). This Phase 3 trial studies multiple treatments including Palbociclib 125mg and Ribociclib 600mg for metastatic breast cancer.
Treatment: Palbociclib 125mg · Ribociclib 600mg · Ribociclib · Palbociclib — The purpose of this study is to generate evidence on an alternative dosing strategy for CDK4/6 inhibitors to help more patients with Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC) (age ≥ 65 years) tolerate side effects and stay on treatment longer, to derive the most clinical benefit from these drugs. The primary objective of the CDK Study is to compare time to treatment discontinuation (TTD) on the approved dosing for palbociclib (125 mg orally daily on days 1-21 of 28-day cycle) or ribociclib (600 mg orally daily on days 1-21 of 28-day cycle) vs. TTD using titrated dosing approach with the same schedule but starting at a lower dose of palbociclib (100 mg or 75 mg) or ribociclib (400 mg or 200 mg) and escalating the dose if well-tolerated in combination with provider/patient choice endocrine therapy (aromatase inhibitor (AI) or fulvestrant) in patients age 65 or older with HR+/HER2- MBC. The secondary and exploratory objectives will generate evidence needed to personalize treatment decisions by comparing patient-centric secondary outcomes and evaluating baseline factors. Together with their treating physician, participants will choose the CDK4/6 inhibitor (palbociclib or ribociclib) and which endocrine therapy (aromatase inhibitor or fulvestrant) of their choice but will be randomized to either Arm 1 (indicated dosing) or Arm 2 (titrated dosing). Note: Telehealth visits are allowed at any time per institutional guidelines. In addition, the study allows for remote consenting per institutional guidelines.

Lab requirements
Blood counts
Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1,000/µL
Liver function
Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x institutional ULN (participants with documented Gilbert's disease are allowed total bilirubin up to 5X ULN); AST (SGOT)/ALT (SGPT) <3 x institutional ULN, or ≤ 5 x ULN for subjects with documented metastatic disease to the liver.
Cardiac function
Baseline QTc ≤ 480 ms (only for ribociclib patients)
Adequate bone marrow and organ function. Laboratory values must be within normal institutional limits, or within ranges as indicated below, or demonstrate minor abnormalities that are deemed clinically non-significant by the investigator. * Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1,000/µL * Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) (participants with documented Gilbert's disease are allowed total bilirubin up to 5X ULN) * AST (SGOT)/ALT (SGPT) <3 x institutional ULN, or ≤ 5 x ULN for subjects with documented metastatic disease to the liver. Baseline QTc ≤ 480 ms (only for ribociclib patients)
