About
This randomized phase II trial studies how well selumetinib and Akt inhibitor MK2206 work compared to modified fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium, and oxaliplatin (mFOLFOX) therapy in treating patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer previously treated with chemotherapy. Selumetinib and Akt inhibitor MK2206 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as oxaliplatin, and fluorouracil, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. It is not yet know whether selumetinib and Akt inhibitor MK2206 are more effective than oxaliplatin and fluorouracil in treating patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer.
Full description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess overall survival in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer treated with the combination of AZD6244 hydrogen sulfate (selumetinib) and MK-2206 (Akt inhibitor MK2206) compared to those treated with mFOLFOX.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess the frequency and severity of toxicity associated with the combination of AZD6244 hydrogen sulfate and MK-2206 compared to those with mFOLFOX in this patient population.
TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess progression free survival (PFS) in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer treated with the combination of AZD6244 hydrogen sulfate and MK-2206 compared to those treated with mFOLFOX.
II. To assess objective tumor response in the subset of patients with measurable disease (confirmed and unconfirmed complete and partial response) in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer treated with the combination of AZD6244 hydrogen sulfate and MK-2206 compared to those treated with mFOLFOX.
III. To bank tissue and blood for future translational medicine studies.
OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
ARM I: Patients receive oxaliplatin intravenously (IV) over 2 hours on days 1 and 15 and fluorouracil IV over 46-48 hours on days 1-2 and 15-16 (mFOLFOX).
ARM II: Patients receive Akt inhibitor MK2206 orally (PO) on days 1, 8, 15, and 22, and selumetinib PO daily on days 1-28.
In all arms, courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 6 months for up to 3 years.

Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
-
Patients must have histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of pancreatic adenocarcinoma; patients with endocrine or neuroendocrine tumors, lymphoma of the pancreas, or ampullary cancer are not eligible
-

-
Patients must have received one line, and no more than one line, of prior gemcitabine-based chemotherapy for advanced/metastatic pancreatic cancer and must have documentation of metastatic disease progression while on this treatment; documented disease progression must occur within 42 days of the last treatment; OR
- For patients who received one line of gemcitabine-based chemotherapy for treatment in the adjuvant setting, recurrence to a metastatic site must be documented by imaging studies within 6 months of completing chemotherapy; chemoradiation as part of adjuvant treatment is acceptable; if the patient received one line of adjuvant gemcitabine-based treatment and had disease recurrence after 6 months of completing chemotherapy, patients will only be eligible after failing one additional line of gemcitabine-based chemotherapy used to treat the metastatic disease

-
Patients must not plan to receive concurrent chemotherapy, radiotherapy, agents known to prolong corrected QT (QTc) interval, or agents known to be strong inducers or inhibitors of cytochrome P450 3A4/5 (CYP3A4/5) or cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2)
-
Patient must not have received prior treatment with fluorouracil, irinotecan, leucovorin calcium, and oxaliplatin (FOLFIRINOX), FOLFOX, oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MEK) inhibitors, phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitors, or protein kinase B (AKT) inhibitors
