About this study

Official title: A Phase I Dose Defining Study For MK-2206 Combined With Gefitinib In NSCLC Population Enriched With EGFR Mutation

This is a phase I study of MK2206 (an AKT inhibitor)and gefitinib in nonsmall cell lung cancer patients who failed prior chemotherapy and epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI). The patient population is enriched for EGFR mutations.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether it is safe to administered MK-2206 in combination with gefitinib in adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. The second purpose of this study is to define the MTD (Maximum Tolerated Dose) of MK-2206 when combined with gefitinib.

A standard 3-3 dose escalation scheme of MK-2206 with fix dose gefitinib is used in this study.

Read the detailed description

Preclinical data from communication with Merck clinical and pre-clinical group support the application of MK2206 and an EGFR-TKI, and the synergistic effect of this combination. This proposed study is a phase I dose defining study to define the MTD (Maximum Tolerated Dose) of MK-2206 when combined with gefitinib.

MK-2206 is a potent, orally active, allosteric inhibitor of human AKT1, AKT2, and AKT3 with preclinical anti-tumor activity.

This is a Phase I, single-center, open-label, non-randomized, dose-escalation study in patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC. Patients who previously failed and progressed through EGFR inhibitor such as erlotinib or gefitinib and up to one line of chemotherapy will be enrolled into the study. Patients will be administered with oral MK-2206 and a standard dose of EGFR inhibitor gefitinib.

This study will be conducted in three cohorts to identify a recommended Phase II dose (RP2D) of MK-2206 in combination with standard dose of gefitinib (250 mg QD). Cohorts of 3 patients will be enrolled sequentially on escalating doses of MK-2206 administered in combination with a standard dose of gefitinib. Patients will advance doses of MK2206 if 0/3 patients or 0-1/6 develop DLT (Dose-Limiting Toxicity). If 1/3 patient develops DLT, the cohort will be expanded to 6. If 2/6 patients developed DLT, the dose will be de-escalate to 90 mg Qwk. The highest dose cohort with 0-1/6 with DLT will be deemed as MTD and used as cohort expansion for a total of 15 patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing MK2206 in people with Non Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 21 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 May 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Taiwan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

to provide safety assessment and define dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of MK-2206 in combination with gefitinib in NSCLC (time frame: 21 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 May 2013.
