Purpose
In the phase Ib, the primary purpose is to establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)(s)/recommended phase ll dose (RP2D) of the LEE011 and MEK162 orally administered combination. Once the MTD(s)/RP2D have been determined, the PhII part will begin in order to assess antitumor activity of LEE011and MEK162 orally administered combination.

Experimental: Phase Ib
Phase Ib is the dose escalation part where successive cohorts of 3-6 newly enrolled patients receiving various dose pairs considering the recommendation from an adaptive BLRM incorporating the EWOC principle until MTD(s)/RP2D is defined. Patients with either measurable or evaluable disease will be eligible. At least 15 patients will be treated during the Phase Ib part. Approximately 18 are expected. The objective of the phase Ib part of the study is to estimate the MTD(s) and/or to identify the RP2D and schedule of LEE011 and MEK162 in combination.
|
Drug: LEE011 and MEK162
MEK162 will be administered at 45 mg twice daily on a continuous dosing schedule. There is no planned escalation of this dose although a lower dose of 30 mg BID may be explored if the combination is not tolerated with the starting dose of LEE011. Oral LEE011 will be administered once daily for 21 days followed by a 1 week break (28-day cycle) at a starting dose of 200 mg/QD. At the time of the MTD(s) declaration for this schedule if safety and PK data from the on-going adult phase 1 study indicates a continuous dosing regimen may be more appropriate, this regimen will be evaluated in this study in one or more separate cohorts to establish MTD(s) for that schedule. For the purpose of scheduling and evaluations a treatment cycle is defined as 28 days.
|
|
Experimental: Phase II
The Phase II part will begin once the MTD(s)/RP2D have been determined in the Phase Ib in order to assess antitumor activity of the LEE011and MEK162 combination. Data from enrolled patients will also be used to better characterize the safety, tolerability and PK profile of the two agents. Patients enrolled in the Phase II part of the study are required to have measurable disease. Approximately 40 patients will be treated in this part.
|
Drug: LEE011 and MEK162
Study treatment doses in the phase II will be declared after the MTD/RP2D has been determined in the phase Ib. LEE011 will be administered orally, once daily for 21 days followed by a 1 week break and MEK162 will be administered twice daily in a continuous dosing schedule. For the purpose of scheduling assessments and establishing the MTD/RP2D, a cycle is defined as 28 days in length.

- Congenital long QT syndrome or family history of unexpected sudden cardiac death
- QTc corrected with Frederica's or Bazett's formula (QTcF) >450 ms for males and >470 ms for females on screening ECG
- Any other clinically significant heart disease such as angina pectoris, resting bradycardia, left bundle branch block, ventricular tachyarrhythmia, unstable atrial fibrillation, branch block or hemi block, acute myocardial infarction or any heart disease that requires the use of a cardiac pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator
- Patients who are currently receiving treatment with agents that are known to cause QTc prolongation in humans. See investigators brochure for a complete list of agents that are known to cause QTc prolongation in humans.
- Patients who are currently receiving treatment with agents that are metabolized predominantly through CYP3A4 and that have a narrow therapeutic window.
- Patients with concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled concurrent medical conditions that could compromise participation in the study (e.g., uncontrolled hypertension and/or diabetes mellitus, clinically significant pulmonary disease, clinically significant neurological disorder, active or uncontrolled infection)
- Current evidence of retinal disease; history of CSR, RVO or ophthalmology as assessed by ophthalmologic examination at baseline that would be considered a risk factor for CSR/RVO (e.g., optic disc cupping, visual field defects, IOP > 21 mm Hg)
