Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Induction of compensatory signaling/feedback loop signaling after one week of BKM120 (PI3K inhibitor BKM120) (run-in) compared to patients not treated with BKM120.
II. Safety and tolerability of combined treatment with BKM120 and cetuximab.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Induction of apoptosis after one week of BKM120 (run-in) compared to patients not treated with BKM.
II. Tumor shrinkage (based Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST] version 1.1 [V1.1] measurements) in patients treated with combination.
III. Response rate (based RECIST V1.1 measurements) in patients treated with combination.
IV. Overall survival. V. Progression free survival.
OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose-escalation study of PI3K inhibitor BKM120, followed by a phase II study.
RUN-IN-PERIOD: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
ARM I: Patients receive PI3K inhibitor BKM120 orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days -7 to 0. Patients complete 1 week washout before dose escalation.
ARM II: Patients receive no treatment on days -7 to 0.
All patients receive PI3K inhibitor BKM120 PO QD on days 1-28 and cetuximab intravenously (IV) over 60-120 minutes on days 1 and 15. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 28 days.
