  16. Other acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or severe laboratory abnormality that could increase the risk associated with participation in the study or that could interfere with the interpretation of the study results and, in the investigator's judgment, would make the research participant unsuitable for entry into this study.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate 12 weeks progression-free survival (PFS) rate of Palbociclib plus Letrozole in ER/PR positive endometrioid or high-grade serous ovarian cancer who have disease progression on second-line chemotherapy.
Detailed Description
Letrozole (Femara®) is an oral non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor that is approved worldwide for the treatment of postmenopausal women with breast cancer. It is administered orally on a continuous 2.5 mg daily dosing regimen and has a good toxicity profile. Palbociclib (Ibrance®) is an active potent and highly selective reversible inhibitor of cyclin- dependent kinases 4 and 6 (CDK4/6). Palbociclib was approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (U.S. FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for the treatment of postmenopausal women with hormone receptor (HR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative advanced or metastatic breast cancer in combination with an aromatase inhibitor based on a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, international clinical trial PALOMA-2. It is administered orally on a dose of 125 mg per day in 4-week cycles (3 weeks of treatment followed by 1 week off). This trial was based on preclinical studies that showed a synergistic effect between targeting the ER and cyclin-D-CDK4/6-Rb pathway. The principal toxicity was myelotoxicity but it was managed with appropriate supportive care and dose reductions13. Based on the results of phase 1 and 2 clinical trials of CDK4/6 inhibitors used as monotherapy to treat patients with recurrent ovarian cancer, we hypothesized that, as Palbociclibe is active in this population and many ovarian cancer show ER/PR expression, its combination with Letrozole can improve outcomes in ER/PR positive endometrioid or high-grade serous Ovarian Cancer who have disease progression on second-line chemotherapy, similar to what is seen in breast cancer studies.
