Abstract

Abstract BACKGROUND Patients with meningiomas that have progressed after surgery and/or radiation have limited treatments. Loss of NF2 and CDKN2A/B are common in higher-grade meningiomas and promote meningioma progression. We evaluated the efficacy of abemaciclib, a cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitor, as part of Alliance A071401, a genomically-driven phase II trial in recurrent or progressive meningiomas. METHODS Eligible patients (pts) with grade 2/3 tumors and NF2 mutations or CDK pathway alterations were treated with abemaciclib 200 mg orally twice daily. Two co-primary endpoints were used: progression-free survival at 6 months (PFS6) and response rate (RR); the trial would be declared positive if either endpoint was met. Twenty-four evaluable pts provided ≥85% power to detect a PFS6 ≥41.5% (vs. null 15%; alpha=0.02), and ≥89% power to detect RR ≥20% (vs. null 2.5%; alpha=0.021). RESULTS Of 83 pts screened while the abemaciclib arm was open between September 15, 2021 and October 3, 2022, 36 eligible pts received abemaciclib. The observed PFS6 rate in the first 24 evaluable pts was 54% (95% CI 33-75%), thus the study met PFS6 endpoint. Of all 35 evaluable pts, median PFS was 7.6 months (95% CI 3.6-17.1 months), estimated 6-month PFS was 55% (95% CI 40-75%) and estimated 6-month OS was 88% (95% CI 77-100%). No objective responses were observed. Of the 36 pts who started treatment, two had a grade 4 adverse event at least possibly related to treatment which included ALT elevation(1), AST elevation(1) and vomiting(1). Patients with NF2 alterations (n=24) had favorable PFS6 outcomes (58%, 95% CI 37-78%) compared to those with CDK (n=4, 25%, 95% CI 1-81%) and CDK+NF2 alterations (n=7, 29% 95% CI 4-71%), (Fisher’s Exact p=0.036). CONCLUSIONS Abemaciclib was well-tolerated and resulted in improved PFS6, meeting the trial’s co-primary endpoint. Abemaciclib warrants further investigation for the treatment of patients with progressive meningiomas.
