  Purpose

This phase II trial is studying how well MK2206 works in treating patients with stage I, stage II, or stage III breast cancer. MK2206 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Change in phospho-Akt (Ser473) levels [ Time Frame: Baseline and day 0 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    A Wilcoxon signed-rank matched-pairs test will be used to compare expression levels in paired pre- and post-MK-2206 tissue.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • PI3K/AKT expression [ Time Frame: Up to 4 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    The Spearman rank correlation coefficient will be used to analyze any relationship between the expression levels of different biomarkers. The Wilcoxon signed-rank (matched-pairs) test will be used to compare expression levels between matched pre-and post-treatment samples. All p-values will be two-sided with statistical significance evaluated at the 0.05 alpha level. Ninety-five percent confidence intervals will be calculated to assess the precision of the obtained estimates. All analyses will be performed in SAS version 9.2 and STATA version 9.0.

  • KI-67 expression [ Time Frame: Up to 4 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    The Spearman rank correlation coefficient will be used to analyze any relationship between the expression levels of different biomarkers. The Wilcoxon signed-rank (matched-pairs) test will be used to compare expression levels between matched pre-and post-treatment samples. All p-values will be two-sided with statistical significance evaluated at the 0.05 alpha level. Ninety-five percent confidence intervals will be calculated to assess the precision of the obtained estimates. All analyses will be performed in SAS version 9.2 and STATA version 9.0.

  • Toxicity assessed using NCI CTCAE version 4.0 [ Time Frame: Up to 4 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Biologic response to treatment [ Time Frame: Up to 4 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Detailed Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Assess for a decrease in phospho-Akt (Ser^473) levels in tissue after a pre-surgical trial of weekly Akt inhibitor MK2206 (MK2206) (2 doses) in patients with operable invasive breast cancer.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Evaluate the effects of MK2206 on the immunohistochemical expression of other PI3K/AKT pathway biomarkers on pre-and post-MK2206 tumor tissue, such as phospho-S6 kinase.

II. Assess modulation of PI3K/AKT signaling following MK2206 use with reverse-phase protein microarray analysis.

III. Explore whether PIK3CA mutations demonstrate different modulation of PI3K/Akt-pathway signaling as compared to tumors with loss of PTEN.

IV. Explore whether MK2206 alters PI3K/Akt pathway signaling differently in hormone receptor-positive/HER2-negative tumors, as compared to triple-negative or HER2-positive breast cancers.

V. Evaluate whether tumor proliferation, as measured by Ki-67 staining of breast tumor cells, is reduced in patients taking MK2206 pre-surgically and correlate Ki-67 modulation with changes in PI3K/AKT signaling.

VI. Determine safety and tolerability of MK2206 in patients with early-stage breast cancer.

VII. Collect fasting blood for evaluation of predictive markers of drug effect, such as markers in the insulin growth-factor receptor pathway (i.e., fasting insulin, c-peptide, IGF-1, and IGFBP-1 and 3), as well as modulation of phospho-markers in peripheral blood mononuclear cells.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive Akt inhibitor MK2206 orally on days -9 and -2, and undergo segmental resection or total mastectomy on day 0.

Blood is collected at baseline and before surgery for fasting insulin, c-peptide, IGF-1, IGFBP-1 and 3, pharmacokinetics, and the pharmacodynamic effects of MK2206 on peripheral blood mononuclear cells by western blotting and reverse-phase protein microarray (RPPA). Tumor tissue samples are also collected at baseline and during surgery for PI3K/AKT pathway and Ki-67 modulation by IHC and RPPA analysis.

After completion of therapy, patients are followed up for 4 weeks.
