About this study
Official title: Phase Ib Dose Escalation and Biomarker Study of MK-2206 in Combination With Standard Doses of Weekly Paclitaxel in Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors With an Expansion in Advanced Breast Cancer
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of Akt inhibitor MK2206 (MK2206) when given together with paclitaxel and to see how well they work in treating patients with solid tumors that have spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment or breast cancer that has spread to other places in the body. 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 paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving Akt inhibitor MK2206 and paclitaxel may be a better treatment for solid tumors or breast cancer.
Read the detailed description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
- To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the combination of MK-2206 and weekly paclitaxel. (Dose-escalation phase) II. To determine the safety and anti-tumor activity of the combination in metastatic breast cancer. (Expansion phase)
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
- To determine the pharmacokinetics of MK-2206 and weekly paclitaxel used in combination.
II. To determine the safety of MK-2206 and weekly paclitaxel used in combination.
III. To evaluate the toxicities and tolerability of the combination. IV. To document anti-tumor activity. V. To determine baseline molecular markers that may predict clinical activity. VI. To determine pharmacodynamic markers in blood and tumor tissue that may predict an increase in apoptosis (by cleaved caspase 3) and clinical activity.
VII. To determine concordance of phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase, catalytic subunit alpha (PIK3CA) and phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) status between primary tumor and distant metastasis.
VIII. To determine concordance of PIK3CA status of circulating tumor cells and distant metastasis.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of Akt inhibitor MK2206.
Patients receive paclitaxel intravenously (IV) over 1 hour on days 1, 8, and 15 and Akt inhibitor MK2206 orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 2, 9, and 16. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 3 weeks.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing Akt Inhibitor MK2206, Laboratory Biomarker Analysis and Paclitaxel in people with Adult Solid Neoplasm and Recurrent Breast Carcinoma, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 3 sites in United States.
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 23 inclusion and 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Aug 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 3 sites in United States. 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?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
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?
Antitumor activity of the combination in metastatic breast cancer (Expansion phase) (time frame: Up to 3 weeks after completion of study treatment). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 25 Aug 2017.
