Study summary

This is an open label, dose finding, phase Ib clinical trial to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or RP2D of the orally administered PI3K/mTOR inhibitor BEZ235 in combination with the MEK1/2 inhibitor MEK162. This combination will be explored in patients with EGFR mutant NSCLC which has progressed on EGFR inhibitors and triple negative breast cancer, as well as pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer, malignant melanoma, NSCLC, and other advanced solid tumors with KRAS, NRAS, and/or BRAF mutations. Dose escalation will be guided by a Bayesian logistic regression model with overdose control. At MTD or RP2D, two expansion arms will be opened in order to further assess safety and preliminary anti-tumor activity of the combination of BEZ235 and MEK162.

Study drugs will be administered orally on a continuous schedule, MEK162 bid and BEZ235 qd, a treatment cycle is defined as 28 days.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence of Dose Limiting Toxicities

    A complete treatment cycle is defined as 28 days of daily continuois treatment with study drug combination

    Time frame: during Cycle 1 of treatment with BEZ235 and MEK162

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of participants with adverse events and serious adverse events

    A complete treatment cycle is defined as 28 days of daily continuois treatment with study drug combination

    Time frame: from Cycle 1 Day 1 until treatment discontinuation

  2. Overall response rate, duration of response, time to response and progression free survival

    Time frame: every 8 weeks of treatment

  3. Time versus plasma concentration profiles of BEZ235 and MEK162

    A complete treatment cycle is defined as 28 days of daily continuois treatment with study drug combination

    Time frame: during the first cycle of treatment

  4. Treatment-induced PI3K and MEK/ERK pathway signaling inhibition and evidence of biological activity in tumor

    A complete treatment cycle is defined as 28 days of daily continuois treatment with study drug combination

    Time frame: during the first cycle of treatment and at disease progression
