Summary
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of sapanisertib and ziv-aflibercept in treating patients with solid tumors that have come back (recurrent) and have spread to another place in the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). Sapanisertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Ziv-aflibercept may stop the growth of solid tumors by blocking the growth of new blood vessels necessary for tumor growth. Giving sapanisertib with ziv-aflibercept may kill more tumor cells.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- Patients with advanced or metastatic cancer that is refractory to standard therapy or relapsed after standard therapy; patients must have histologically confirmed malignancy that is metastatic or unresectable and for which standard curative or palliative measures do not exist or are no longer effective
- Patients enrolled in the expansion cohort must have biopsiable disease; there will be preferential enrollment of patients with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors or ovarian cancer during the dose expansion cohort
- Patients must be >= 4 weeks beyond treatment of any chemotherapy, other investigational therapy, hormonal, biological, targeted agents or radiotherapy, and must have recovered to = = 3,000/mcL
- Absolute neutrophil count >= 1,500/mcL
- Platelets >= 100,000/mcL
- Hemoglobin >= 9 g/dL
- Total bilirubin = = 60 mL/min for patients with creatinine levels above institutional normal
- Fasting serum glucose = 300 mg/dl; triglyceride 2.5 X upper limit of normal [ULN] despite lipid lowering agent) within last 3 months
- Uncontrolled diabetes (fasting serum glucose > 130 mg/dl) despite best medical management or poorly controlled diabetes mellitus defined as hemoglobin (Hb)A1c > 7%; subjects with a history of transient glucose intolerance due to corticosteroid administration are allowed in this study if all other inclusion/exclusion criteria are met
- History of uncontrolled hypertension, defined as blood pressure > 150/95 mmHg, or systolic blood pressure > 180 mmHg when diastolic blood pressure 1+ or urine protein: creatinine ratio > 1.0, 24-hour urine protein should be obtained and the level should be 3) within the 4 weeks prior to drug administration
- Evidence of clinically significant bleeding diathesis or underlying coagulopathy, non-healing wound
- History of any of the following within the last 6 months prior to study entry:
- Ischemic myocardial event, including angina requiring therapy and artery revascularization procedures
- Ischemic cerebrovascular event, including transient ischemic attack (TIA) and artery revascularization procedures
- Requirement for inotropic support (excluding digoxin) or serious (uncontrolled) cardiac arrhythmia (including atrial flutter/fibrillation, ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia)
- Placement of a pacemaker for control of rhythm
- Pulmonary embolism
- Significant active cardiovascular or pulmonary disease at the time of study entry, including:
- Uncontrolled high blood pressure (i.e., systolic blood pressure > 150 mm Hg, diastolic blood pressure > 95 mm Hg)
- Pulmonary hypertension
- Uncontrolled asthma or oxygen (O2) saturation 480 milliseconds, or history of congenital long QT syndrome, or torsades de pointes)
- Psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
- Have initiated treatment with bisphosphonates less than 30 days prior to the first administration of MLN0128 (TAK-228); concurrent bisphosphonate use is only allowed if the bisphosphonate was initiated at least 30 days prior to the first administration of MLN0128 (TAK-228)
- Patients who are taking proton pump inhibitor (PPI) within 7 days before receiving the first dose of study drug or who require treatment with PPIs throughout the trial or those who are taking H2 receptor antagonists within 24 hours of the first dose of study drug
- Patients with known history of hepatitis B surface antigen-positive, or known history or suspected active hepatitis C infection are not to be enrolled in the study
