Abstrakt: Background Dual inhibition of activated MAPK and mTOR signaling pathways may enhance the antitumor efficacy of the MEK 1/2 inhibitor pimasertib and the mTOR inhibitor temsirolimus given in combination. Methods In this phase I study, patients with refractory advanced solid tumors (NCT01378377) received once-weekly temsirolimus plus once-daily oral pimasertib in 21-day cycles in a modified 3 + 3 dose-escalation design. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of pimasertib in combination with temsirolimus, safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) were investigated. Results Of 33 patients evaluated, all experienced ≥1 treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) and 31 had treatment-related TEAEs, most frequently stomatitis and thrombocytopenia. TEAEs were reversible. No deaths were attributed to treatment. Nine patients had dose-limiting toxicities (stomatitis, thrombocytopenia, serum creatinine phosphokinase increase, visual impairment) and the MTD was determined as 45 mg/day pimasertib plus 25 mg/week temsirolimus. However, due to overlapping toxicities no further investigations were performed and the RP2D was not defined. PK profiles of both agents were not adversely affected. Seventeen patients (17/26 patients) had a best response of stable disease; five had stable disease lasting >12 weeks. Conclusions The RP2D was not defined and the pimasertib plus temsirolimus combination investigated did not warrant further study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
