Trametinib and Akt Inhibitor GSK2141795 in Treating Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Recurrent Plasma Cell Myeloma Clinical Trial

Official title: A Phase 2 Study of Sequential Trametinib and GSK2141795 in Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This phase II trial studies how well trametinib and Akt inhibitor GSK2141795 work in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back (relapsed) or that does not respond to treatment (refractory). Trametinib and Akt inhibitor GSK2141795 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Clinical Trial Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the antitumor activity of trametinib determined by overall response rate (ORR) in patients that are stratified into groups based on: biomarker positive (neuroblastoma RAS viral [v-ras] oncogene homolog [NRAS], v-Ki-ras2 Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog [KRAS], v-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1 [BRAF] mutated) and biomarker negative (without NRAS, KRAS, BRAF mutation).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate progression free survival (PFS) and duration of response (DOR) in the two stratified groups.

II. To document ORR after the addition of GSK2141795 (Akt inhibitor GSK2141795) to trametinib in patients who have developed progressive disease or have achieved less than a partial response (PR) after 4 cycles of treatment.

III. To evaluate PFS and DOR in patients receiving trametinib plus GSK2141795. IV. To evaluate the safety profile of trametinib with and without GSK2141795.

TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To explore the relationship between clinical response and pharmacodynamic (PD) markers.

II. To explore the relationship between v-maf avian musculoaponeurotic fibrosarcoma oncogene homolog (MAF) expression as determined by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), chromosomal abnormalities detected by florescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and clinical response.

III. To explore the role of integrin beta7 as a biomarker of MAF expression. IV. To explore the relationship between objective clinical response as well as progressive disease and the tumor mutational profile.

V. To explore mechanism of phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K)/v-akt Murine Thymoma Viral Oncogene Homolog 1 (AKT) and retrovirus-associated deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequence (RAS)-mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK)-mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 (ERK) activation and correlate these with clinical response and PD markers.

IV. To explore the feasibility of extracting circulating free tumor DNA (cfDNA) from peripheral blood and detecting RAS and RAF mutations using cfDNA.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive trametinib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with progressive disease or who achieve less than PR after 4 courses may also receive Akt inhibitor GSK2141795 PO daily on days 1-28.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 4 weeks. ;
