Phase II Trial of Hyd-sulfate AZD6244 [NSC 748727] in Patients With BRAF or NRAS Mutated Melanomas
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Determine the response in patients with V600E or V600K BRAF-mutated or NRAS-mutated stage
III or stage IV melanoma with low or high phospho-pAKT expression treated with MEK inhibitor
AZD6244.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Identify other genetic predictors of sensitivity to MEK inhibition.
OUTLINE: Patients are stratified according to pAKT expression (low vs high).
Patients receive oral MEK inhibitor AZD6244 twice daily on days 1-28. Courses repeat every
28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Tumor tissue samples are collected for correlative laboratory studies. Samples are assessed
for expression of pAKT, pPRAS40, and PTEN by IHC and mutations in BRAF, NRAS, KIT, and
PIK3CAP by MALDI-TOF. PTEN is sequenced in tumors using whole genome amplification followed
by high-throughput bidirectional dideoxynucleotide sequencing of PCR-amplified gene
products.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed for 4 weeks.
