About
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the MEK inhibitor and the AKT inhibitor can be given in combination and if the combination is effective treatment for patients with solid tumors, including breast cancer and endometrial cancer, and for patients with multiple myeloma.
Full description
This is an open-label, two part, Phase I/II study to investigate the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and clinical activity of the MEK inhibitor GSK1120212 administered in combination with the AKT inhibitor GSK2110183 in subjects with solid tumors and multiple myeloma.
In Part 1, the safety and tolerability of a range of doses for GSK1120212 and GSK2110183 dosed in combination will be investigated; pharmacokinetics will also be analyzed to determine whether there is a drug-drug interaction between GSK1120212 and GSK2110183 when dosed in combination.
The second part of the study will focus on evaluation of the clinical efficacy of the combination as well as the pharmacodynamic response in subjects with proteasome-refractory multiple myeloma (Part 2A) or solid tumors, putatively endometrial and triple negative breast cancer (Part 2B).

- Adequate organ system function, defined as ANC greater than or equal to 1X10^9/L, hemoglobin greater than or equal to 8g/dL, platelets greater than or equal to 50X10^9/L, PT/INR and PTT less than or equal to 1.5XULN, total bilirubin less than or equal to 1.5XULN, AST and ALT less than or equal to 2.5XULN, albumin greater than or equal to 2.5g/dL, creatinine less than or equal to 2.5mg/dL or calculated or 24-hour urine creatinine clearance greater than or equal to 30mL/min; fasting serum glucose less than 126mg/dL, HbA1C less than or equal to 8%, calcium less than or equal to 12.5mg/dL (3.126mmol/L), cardiac ejection fraction greater than or equal to LLN by echocardiography.
- Subjects with a history of autologous stem cell transplant, provided these eligibility criteria are met: transplant was > 100 days prior to study enrollment, no active infection, subject meets remainder of eligibility criteria outlined in the protocol.
- Only those subjects with proteasome inhibitor-refractory multiple myeloma may be enrolled (Part 2A). Refractory is defined as failure to respond to last proteasome inhibitor therapy or progression within 60 days after stopping last proteasome inhibitor therapy.
- Subjects must agree to pre-, and in some cases, post-dose bone marrow aspirates and biopsies.
- Subjects with prior exposure to an AKT inhibitor or MEK inhibitor are not eligible. Perifosine is not considered an AKT inhibitor.
