versus host disease and at least 42 days must have elapsed after transplant, stem cell
infusion, or cellular therapy.

central line placement/removal are not considered major surgery.
- CDK4/6 and IGF-1R inhibitors: The participant must not have received a prior CDK4/6
inhibitor. Prior therapy with IGF-1R inhibitor is allowed if the patient did not
relapse while on IGF-1R therapy. Patients must not have received prior therapy with a
combination of CDK4/6 inhibitor and IGF-1R inhibitor.
- Participants must have normal organ function as defined below.
- Hematologic Requirements for Subjects without Known Bone Marrow Involvement by
Disease:
- Absolute neutrophil count = 1000 /uL
- Hemoglobin = 8 g/dL (transfusion allowed)
- Platelets =100,000 /uL and transfusion independent, defined as not receiving a
platelet transfusion for at least 7 days prior to CBC documenting eligibility.
- Hematologic Requirements for Subjects with Bone Marrow Involvement by Disease as
Demonstrated on Clinically-Indicated Bone Marrow Biopsy:
- Absolute neutrophil count >750 /uL
- Hemoglobin = 8 g/dL (transfusion allowed)
- Platelets =50,000 /uL and transfusion independent, defined as not receiving a
platelet transfusion for at least 7 days prior to CBC documenting eligibility.
- Not known to be refractory to platelet or red cell transfusions.
- Hepatic Function:
- Total bilirubin = 1.5 x upper limit of normal for age Patients with Gilbert's
syndrome with a total bilirubin < 2 x upper limit of normal for age and a direct
bilirubin within normal limits are permitted.
- ALT (SGPT) = 135 U/L For the purpose of this study, the ULN for ALT is 45 U/L
- AST (SGOT)= 90 U/L For the purpose of this study, the ULN for AST is 90 U/L
- Serum albumin = 2 g/dL
- Renal Function:
-- A serum creatinine based on age/gender as follows: Maximum Serum Creatinine (mg/dL)
Male Female
- 12 to < 13 years 1.2 1.2
- 13 to < 16 years 1.5 1.4
- = 16 years 1.7 1.4 Or
- Creatinine clearance = 70 mL/min/1.73 m2 for participants with creatinine levels above
institutional normal.
- Adequate Cardiac Function: QTc = 480 msec on ECG
- Adequate GI Function: Diarrhea < grade 2 by CTCAE version 5
- Adequate Metabolic Function: Fasting glucose = 160 mg/dL (or < 8.9 mmol/L) without the
use of antihyperglycemic agents. If random glucose = 160 mg/dL (or = 8.9 mmol/L),
fasting value does not need to be obtained.
- Additional Agent-Specific Requirements
- Patients must be able to swallow capsules.
- For patients with CNS metastatic disease, any baseline neurologic deficits
(including seizure) must be stable for at least one week prior to study
enrollment.
- Ability to understand and/or the willingness of the patient (or parent or legally
authorized representative, if minor) to provide informed consent, using an
institutionally approved informed consent procedure.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients must not be receiving any of the following concomitant medications:
-- Pharmacologic doses of systemic corticosteroids unless for CNS metastatic disease.
For patients with CNS metastatic disease receiving corticosteroids, they should be on
a stable or decreasing dose over the 7 days prior to registration Section 3.1.6.7 of
protocol document. For all patients, receipt of systemic physiologic replacement
steroids, topical and/or inhaled corticosteroids is acceptable.
- Patients receiving medications that are strong inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A4 within
7 days of enrollment (refer to Appendix B, Table 10 for prohibited medications)
- Patients receiving medications that cause significant QTc prolongation as outlined in
Table 12 of Appendix B.
- Patients who have had tumor molecular testing with sequencing of the RB1 gene and were
found to have RB1 mutation or loss will be excluded.
- Patients with a history of pneumonitis will be excluded.
- Pregnant participants will not be entered on this study given that the effects of
palbociclib and ganitumab on the developing human fetus are unknown.
- Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants
secondary to treatment of the mother with palbociclib and ganitumab, breastfeeding
mothers are not eligible.
- Participants of child-bearing or child-fathering potential must agree to use adequate
contraception (hormonal birth control; intrauterine device; double barrier method; or
total abstinence) throughout their participation, including up until 30 days after
last dose of palbociclib or ganitumab, whichever was administered last.
- History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic
composition to palbociclib or ganitumab.
- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active
infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac
arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with
study requirements.
- Participants with a personal history of any of the following: syncope due to an
intrinsic cardiac etiology (note that syncope due to vasovagal episodes or
dehydration/orthostasis would NOT exclude a participant), pathologic ventricular
arrhythmias (including, but not limited to, ventricular tachycardia and ventricular
fibrillation), or sudden cardiac arrest.
- Patients with known HIV, hepatitis B, and/or hepatitis C (testing not required as part
of screening).
- Patients with a known history of type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus.
- Patients with gastrointestinal disease or disorder that could interfere with
