Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and tolerability of several dose levels of MK-2206 in combination with chemotherapy and targeted therapy agents in participants with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors.

The primary hypotheses are that administration of MK-2206 in combination with either carboplatin + paclitaxel, docetaxel, or erlotinib in participants with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors will have acceptable tolerability, a dose limiting toxicity (DLT) rate of ≤30%, plasma exposure and pharmacodynamics that exceed target thresholds, and allow for definition of a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) in each of the 3 combinations.

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Number of Participants Who Experienced a Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) During Cycle 1 A DLT was any of the following deemed drug related by investigator and graded using National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 3.0 criteria: Grade (G)4 hematologic toxicity lasting =7 days; G4 thrombocytopenia; G3 or 4 febrile neutropenia and/or infection requiring treatment; G3, 4, 5 non-hematologic toxicity(with the exception of G3 nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, or hyperglycemia that as a result of inadequate compliance with supportive care measures; alopecia, inadequately treated hypersensitivity reactions G3 elevated transaminases of =1 week in duration); adverse experience (AE) leading to dose reduction; unresolved toxicity causing =3 week delay in treatment; =G3 hyperglycemia; persistent increases in QTc interval; clinically significant bradycardia; and missing MK-2206 doses due to toxicity. The number of participants who experienced a DLT is presented. Cycle 1 (Up to 21 days)
Primary Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of MK-2206 Administered Every Other Day (QOD) in Combination With Carboplatin and Paclitaxel Participants received MK-2206 (45 or 60 mg) administered PO on Days 1, 3, 5, and 7 in combination with carboplatin AUC 6 and paclitaxel 200 mg/m^2 administered IV on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle. The MTD was determined by the number of participants who experienced a dose limiting toxicity (DLT). DLT was defined using the NCI CTCAE version 3.0 criteria. See primary DLT outcome measure for the DLT definition. The MTD was defined as the dose level, at which the percentage of patients who experienced a DLT rate in Cycle 1 that was closest to 30%. A minimum of 13 participants were required to be enrolled per dose to calculate DLT. If the DLT threshold or enrollment quota per dose were not reached then the MTD could not be determined.
