Study of the Selective PI3K-Beta Inhibitor GSK2636771 in Combination With Pembrolizumab in Patients With Metastatic Melanoma and PTEN Loss
Study Purpose
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if GSK2636771 given in combination with pembrolizumab can help to control the disease in patients with refractory (has not responded to treatment) metastatic melanoma. The safety of this drug combination will also be studied. This is an investigational study. Pembrolizumab is FDA approved and commercially available and FDA approved for the treatment of several types of cancer, including melanoma. GSK2636771 is not FDA approved or commercially available. It is currently being used for research purposes only. The study doctor can explain how the study drugs are designed to work. Up to 41 participants will be enrolled in this study. All will take part at MD Anderson.

Phase
Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use. |
