Brief Title
Trametinib With or Without GSK2141795 in Treating Patients With Metastatic Uveal Melanoma
Official Title
A Randomized Two-Arm Phase II Study of Trametinib Alone and in Combination With GSK2141795 in Patients With Advanced Uveal Melanoma
Brief Summary
This randomized phase II trial studies how well trametinib with or without Akt inhibitor
GSK2141795 (GSK2141795) works in treating patients with uveal melanoma that has spread to
other parts of the body (metastatic). Trametinib and GSK2141795 may stop the growth of tumor
cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known whether
trametinib is more effective with or without GSK2141795 in treating patients with metastatic
uveal melanoma.
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To compare progression-free survival between those treated with trametinib alone and those
treated with the combination of trametinib and GSK2141795.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To compare overall survival between those treated with trametinib alone and those treated
with the combination of trametinib and GSK2141795.
II. To compare the overall response rate between those treated with trametinib alone and
those treated with the combination of trametinib and GSK2141795.
III. To compare the safety and toxicity between those treated with trametinib alone and those
treated with the combination of trametinib and GSK2141795.
TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess clinical outcomes (response rate, progression-free and overall survival) with
trametinib and GSK2141795 after progression on trametinib.
II. To assess toxicity with trametinib and GSK2141795 after progression on trametinib.
III. To correlate clinical outcome with Gnaq/11 mutational status. IV. To assess the
pharmacodynamic effects of trametinib alone and with GSK2141795, and utilize
whole-transcriptome and reverse phase protein array to identify markers of sensitivity and
primary resistance to trametinib alone and with GSK2141795.
V. To assess for changes in circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) with therapy.
OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
ARM A: Patients receive trametinib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-28. Courses repeat
every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients who
experience objective disease progression may crossover to Arm B. (no patients will be
enrolled to Arm B or Crossover therapy as of 11/6/2015)
ARM B: Patients receive trametinib PO QD and Akt inhibitor GSK2141795 PO QD on days 1-28.
Courses repeat every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 4 weeks and then every 12
weeks thereafter.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients must have metastatic histologically or cytologically confirmed uveal
melanoma; if histologic or cytologic confirmation of the primary is not available,

confirmation of metastatic disease will be performed at Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK)
or at a participating site

accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded) as >=
20 mm with conventional techniques or as >= 10 mm with spiral computed tomography (CT)
scan
- Patients may not have received prior systemic or hepatic directed
infusional/embolization therapies for advanced uveal melanoma; local therapies such as
radiofrequency ablation or cryotherapy for metastatic disease are permitted but must
have been performed at least 21 days prior to initiation of study therapy; lesions
treated with local modalities such as radiofrequency ablation or cryotherapy may not
be used as target lesions unless they demonstrate growth over a minimum of 3 months on
subsequent imaging studies
