NCT01021748

Brief Summary

This study will investigate the safety and tolerability of combination therapy with MK-2206 and AZD6244 (selumetinib) and determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase 2 dose (RPTD) for this drug combination in the treatment of participants with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors. Preliminary efficacy data will also be collected. The primary hypotheses for this study are that: 1) the Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLTs) observed in participants with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors after administration of combination therapy with MK-2206 and AZD6244 will be dose-dependent and allow for identification of the MTD, and 2) oral administration of combination therapy with MK-2206 and AZD6244 to participants with advanced solid tumors will be generally well-tolerated.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Number of Participants With a Dose-limiting Toxicity (DLT)

    Adverse events (AEs) were graded using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 3.0. DLTs included: Grade 4 neutropenia lasting for ≥7 days; Grade 3 or Grade 4 neutropenia with fever \>38.5ºC and/or infection requiring antibiotic or anti-fungal treatment; Grade 4 thrombocytopenia (≤25.0 x 10\^9/L); Grade ≥3 non-hematologic toxicity with exceptions; Any drug-related AE, regardless of CTCAE Grade, leading to a dose modification of MK-2206 or AZD6244; Unresolved CTCAE Grade ≥3 drug-related toxicity requiring drug interruption for \>14 days; ≥ Grade 3 signs or symptoms of glucose intolerance and accompanied by ≥ Grade 2 hyperglycemia (glucose \>160 dL or 8.9 mmol/L); ≥ Grade 3 electrolyte abnormalities due to glucose intolerance and not attributable to another cause; Diagnosis of lactoacidosis or ketoacidosis; Persistent increases in corrected QT (QTc) interval (\>60 msec from baseline and/or \>500 msec); Clinically significant bradycardia.

    Cycle 1 (Up to 28 days)

  • Number of Participants Who Experienced at Least One Adverse Event (AE)

    An AE was defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of study drug, whether or not considered related to the use of the product. Any worsening of a pre-existing condition which was temporally associated with the use of study drug was also an AE. The number of participants who experienced at least one AE is presented.

    Up to approximately 23 months

  • Number of Participants Who Discontinued Study Treatment Due to an AE

    An AE was defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of study drug, whether or not considered related to the use of the product. Any worsening of a pre-existing condition which was temporally associated with the use of study drug was also an AE. The number of participants who discontinued study treatment due to an AE is presented.

    Up to approximately 20 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Number of Participants With a Tumor Response According to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1)

    Baseline and after every 8 weeks of treatment until documentation of objective response or disease progression (Up to 2 years)
