| Abstract Text | Targeted Agent and Profiling Utilization Registry is a phase II basket trial evaluating the antitumor activity of commercially available targeted agents in patients with advanced cancer and targetable genomic alterations. Two cohorts of patients with cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A (CDKN2A)-mutated tumors treated with palbociclib are reported: one with head and neck cancer (HNC) with both squamous and nonsquamous cell histologies, and one with histology-pooled (HP) cancers.Eligible patients had measurable disease, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 0-2, adequate organ function, and no standard treatment options. The primary end point was disease control (DC), defined as objective response (OR) or stable disease (SD) of at least 16+ weeks duration. For the HNC cohort, Simon's two-stage design with a null DC rate of 15% versus 35% (power = 0.85; α = .10) was used. For the HP cohort, the null hypothesis of a DC rate of 15% was rejected if the lower limit of a one-sided 90% CI was >15%. Secondary end points included OR, safety, progression-free survival, overall survival, duration of response, and duration of SD.Seventy patients with HNC (N = 28) or HP cancers (N = 42) were treated with palbociclib. For the HNC cohort, DC and OR rates were 40% (one-sided 90% CI, 27 to 100) and 4% (95% CI, <1 to 18), respectively. The null hypothesis was rejected (P = .002). For the HP cohort, DC and OR rates were 13% (one-sided 90% CI, 6 to 100) and 5% (95% CI, <1 to 17), respectively. The null hypothesis was not rejected. Thirty-one of 70 patients experienced treatment-related grade 3 to 4 adverse events (AEs) or serious AEs, the most common including neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and leukopenia.Palbociclib met prespecified criteria to declare a signal of activity in patients with HNC with CDKN2A alterations, but not in the HP cohort. | ||||||||||||

| CDKN2A | L62_E69del | deletion | unknown | CDKN2A L62_E69del results in the deletion of eight amino acids in ANK repeat 2 of the Cdkn2a protein from amino acids 62 to 69 (UniProt.org). L62_E69del has been identified in the scientific literature (PMID: 39413339), but has not been biochemically characterized and therefore, its effect on Cdkn2a protein function is unknown (PubMed, Aug 2025). |
