Ribociclib is in phase III clinical trials by Novatis for the treatment of postmenopausal women with advanced breast cancer.

Phase II clinical trials are also in development for the treatment of liposarcoma, ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, peritoneum cancer, endometrial cancer, and gastrointestinal cancer.

Ribociclib, also known as LEE011, is an orally available cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor targeting cyclin D1/CDK4 and cyclin D3/CDK6 cell cycle pathway, with potential antineoplastic activity. CDK4/6 inhibitor LEE011 specifically inhibits CDK4 and 6, thereby inhibiting retinoblastoma (Rb) protein phosphorylation. Inhibition of Rb phosphorylation prevents CDK-mediated G1-S phase transition, thereby arresting the cell cycle in the G1 phase, suppressing DNA synthesis and inhibiting cancer cell growth. Overexpression of CDK4/6, as seen in certain types of cancer, causes cell cycle deregulation

Orally bioavailable CDK4/6-selective inhibitor that has been tested in Phase III clinical trials for treatment of advanced breast cancer.

CDK full name of cyclin-dependent kinases, there are many other subtypes CDK1-11, capable of binding to cell cycle proteins regulate the cell cycle. Pfizer Palbociclib been submitted for FDA review under phase II clinical data, Novartis Ribociclib (LEE011), Lilly Abemaciclib (LY2835219) the three CDK4 / 6 inhibitors have entered late stage development for the treatment of breast cancer

Protocols from literature

Ribociclib (LEE011) is a Me-Too version of palbociclib. Their structures are compared side-by-side as the following:

Ribociclib (LEE011) is currently being developed by Novartis and Astex.  According its  Novartis’s website, LEE011 is a novel, orally available, selective inhibitor of CDK4/6 kinases, which induces complete dephosphorylation of Rb and G1 arrest in cancer cells. In preclinical in vitro and in vivo tumor models, LEE011 has been shown active in cancers harboring aberrations that increase CDK4/6 activity, including those directly linked to the kinases as well as activating alterations in the upstream regulators. First-in-human study of LEE011 in patients with solid tumors and lymphoma is currently ongoing. (source: http://www.novartisoncology.us/research/pipeline/lee011.jsp).

Treatment with LEE011 significantly reduced proliferation in 12 of 17 human neuroblastoma-derived cell lines by inducing cytostasis at nanomolar concentrations (mean IC50 = 307 ± 68 nmol/L in sensitive lines). LEE011 caused cell-cycle arrest and cellular senescence that was attributed to dose-dependent decreases in phosphorylated RB and FOXM1, respectively. In addition, responsiveness of neuroblastoma xenografts to LEE011 translated to the in vivo setting in that there was a direct correlation of in vitro IC50 values with degree of subcutaneous xenograft growth delay. Although our data indicate that neuroblastomas sensitive to LEE011 were more likely to contain genomic amplification of MYCN (P = 0.01), the identification of additional clinically accessible biomarkers is of high importance. LEE011 is active in a large subset of neuroblastoma cell line and xenograft models, and supports the clinical development of this CDK4/6 inhibitor as a therapy for patients with this disease.

CLIP

Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (14 compounds) under clinical evaluation.

LEE-011 is one of the most selective inhibitors for CDK4 and CDK6 [59] and is being developed by Astex Pharmaceuticals™ and Novartis. In January 2014 this inhibitor entered phase III clinical trials for the treatment of breast cancer [60]. Due to encouraging results LEE-011 has now become the main competing drug-candidate with Pfizer’s PD0332991 (palbociclib), see Figure 3 [59].

Figure 3. Comparison of Astex/Novartis’ LEE-011 and Pfizer’s PD0332991 structures.

Upon comparison of the chemical structure of Novartis’ LEE-011 and Pfizer’s PD0332991, the similarity is evident. The major difference lies in the bicyclic core since LEE-011 possesses a pyrrolo-pyrimidine and PD0332991 a pyridopyrimidine. The “east” part of the structure is also modified. The structural similarities make their analogous CDKs inhibition profiles (high selectivity for CDK4 and CDK6) quite obvious Moreover, both derivatives are orally administered which is pretty advantageous compared with dinaciclib, which is also in phase III clinical trials but is administered intravenously.
