A Phase I Study of MK-2206 in Combination With Standard Chemotherapy in Participants With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors (MK-2206-003)

November 8, 2019 updated by: Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC

A Phase I Dose Escalation Study of MK-2206 in Combination With Standard Doses of Selected Chemotherapies or Targeted Agents in Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors

The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and tolerability of several dose levels of MK-2206 in combination with chemotherapy and targeted therapy agents in participants with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors.

The primary hypotheses are that administration of MK-2206 in combination with either carboplatin + paclitaxel, docetaxel, or erlotinib in participants with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors will have acceptable tolerability, a dose limiting toxicity (DLT) rate of ≤30%, plasma exposure and pharmacodynamics that exceed target thresholds, and allow for definition of a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) in each of the 3 combinations.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants Who Had a Tumor Response of Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR)
Time Frame: Up to approximately 4 months (6 cycles)
Tumor response was assessed using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) and was recorded from the start of the study treatment until the end of treatment. Response categories included: Complete Response (CR): disappearance of all target lesions and Partial Response (PR): at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions.
