Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the study drug palbociclib has anti-tumor activity against the breast cancer that has spread to the brain and also to determine the overall radiographic response rate in the CNS. Palbociclib is an anti-cancer medication that has been shown to stop cancer cells from growing. It has been approved in hormone positive breast cancer, along with other hormone therapies and has been found to be effective. The preclinical studies suggest that the drug may also have activity in other types of breast cancer, such as HER2 positive breast cancer. The purpose of this study is to see if the study drug is effective in patients with brain metastasis, who have HER2-positive breast cancer.

Primary Outcome

Assess the Radiographic Response Rate (RRR) in the CNS by modified Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology Criteria Brain Metastasis (modifiedRANO-BM). Maximum response prior to disease progression will be used. In General: Complete Response : Disappearance of all lesions Partial Response: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. Stable Disease: Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to
