Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Determine maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of MEK162 (MEK inhibitor MEK162) in patients with RAS-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) when combined with sequential induction chemotherapy (3+4) as measured by development of grade 3-4 dose-limiting toxicities (DLT).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Analyze downstream inhibition of RAS signaling following therapy with single-agent MEK162 with exploratory pharmacodynamics (PD) studies.
II. Perform preliminary efficacy analysis of combination of MEK162 and induction chemotherapy (3+4) in patients with RAS-mutated AML by measuring complete remission rate, 2-year overall survival, and duration of response.
OUTLINE:
INDUCTION THERAPY: Patients receive MEK inhibitor MEK162 orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days -4 to -1 and days 5-18, cytarabine intravenously (IV) continuously over 24 hours on days 1-4, and idarubicin IV over 1 hour on days 1-3. Patients may receive a second course of induction at the discretion of the principal investigator.
POST-REMISSION THERAPY: Patients receive cytarabine IV continuously over 24 hours on days 1-3, idarubicin IV over 1 hour on days 1 and 2, and MEK inhibitor MEK 162 PO BID on days 4-17. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 30 days.

- Uncontrolled opportunistic infection or treatment for opportunistic infection within 4 weeks of first day of study drug dosing
- Other medical or psychiatric illness or organ dysfunction or laboratory abnormality which in the opinion of the investigator would compromise the patient's safety or interfere with data interpretation, e.g., infection/inflammation, intestinal obstruction, unable to swallow medication, social/ psychological issues, etc.
- History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to MEK162, anthracycline, or cytarabine
- Known impairment of gastrointestinal (GI) function or GI disease that may significantly alter the absorption of MEK162 (e.g., ulcerative disease, uncontrolled nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, malabsorption syndrome, small bowel resection)

Impaired cardiovascular function or clinically significant cardiovascular diseases, including any of the following:
- History of acute coronary syndromes (including myocardial infarction, unstable angina, coronary artery bypass grafting [CABG], coronary angioplasty, or stenting) < 6 months prior to screening
- Symptomatic chronic heart failure
- Evidence of clinically significant cardiac arrhythmias and/or conduction abnormalities < 6 months prior to screening except atrial fibrillation and paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia

- Patients who have neuromuscular disorders that are associated with elevated creatine kinase (CK) (e.g., inflammatory myopathies, muscular dystrophy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, spinal muscular atrophy)
- Known confirmed diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or active viral hepatitis (hepatitis B or hepatitis C)
- Any surgical procedure, excluding central venous catheter placement, bone marrow biopsy, lumbar puncture, or other minor procedures (e.g., skin biopsy) within 14 days of day 1; patients who have undergone major surgery =< 21 days prior to starting study drug or who have not recovered from side effects of such procedure are ineligible for the study
Pregnant or nursing (lactating) women confirmed by a positive hCG laboratory test
- Women of child-bearing potential unless they are using highly effective methods of contraception throughout the study and for 30 days after study drug discontinuation
- Sexually active males unless they use a condom during intercourse while taking the drug and for 30 days after stopping treatment and should not father a child in this period; a condom is required to be used also by vasectomized men in order to prevent delivery of the drug via seminal fluid
- Unwillingness or inability to comply with the protocol
- Known active leukemia of the central nervous system
- Known history of Gilbert's syndrome
- History or current evidence of retinal pigment epithelial detachment (RPED), retinal vein occlusion (RVO), or predisposing factors to RPED or RVO (e.g. uncontrolled glaucoma or ocular hypertension, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, hyperviscosity or hypercoagulability syndromes)
