Clinical Trial Summary

This is a dose-escalation, Phase I/II, open-label, three-part study. Part 1 is designed to determine the recommended dose and schedule for the orally administered MEK inhibitor trametinib, given together with the CDK4/6 inhibitor palbociclib in subjects with solid tumors. Multiple dose levels of each inhibitor will be tested to determine the recommended dose and schedule. Part 2 will evaluate the effect of the combination on tumor biomarkers safety, and anti-cancer activity in subjects with cutaneous melanoma that do not have a change at BRAFV600. Approximately 100-200 subjects will be enrolled. All subjects will receive trametinib and/or palbociclib until disease progression, death, consent withdrawal or unacceptable adverse event (AE).

Data was only collected and analyzed for the Phase I component of the study, the Phase II component of the study was terminated without data collection

• A history or current evidence/risk of Retinal Vein Occlusion (RVO) or Central Serous Retinopathy (CSR) including: History of RVO or CSR, or predisposing factors to RVO or CSR (e.g. uncontrolled glaucoma or ocular hypertension, uncontrolled systemic disease such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, or history of hyperviscosity or hypercoagulability syndromes); or Visible retinal pathology as assessed by ophthalmic examination that is considered a risk factor for RVO or CSR such as: Evidence of new optic disc cupping; Evidence of new visual field defects; Intraocular pressure >21 mmHg as measured by tonography.

• Known immediate or delayed hypersensitivity reaction or idiosyncrasy to drugs chemically related to the study treatments, their excipients, and/or dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO).
