Phase IB Dose-Escalation and Expansion Study of AKT kinase inhibitor Afuresertib with Carboplatin and Paclitaxel in Recurrent Platinum-Resistant Ovarian Cancer. Clin Cancer Res. 2018 Dec 18;: Authors: Blagden SP, Hamilton AL, Mileshkin L, Wong S, Michael A, Hall M, Goh JC, Lisyanskaya AS, DeSilvio M, Frangou E, Stronach EA, Gopalakrishna P, Meniawy TM, Gabra H Abstract PURPOSE: Preclinically, AKT kinase inhibition restores drug sensitivity in platinum-resistant tumors.Here the pan-AKT kinase inhibitor afuresertib was given in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin (PC) in patients with recurrent platinum-resistant epithelial ovarian cancer (PROC) and primary platinum refractory ovarian cancer (PPROC). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Part I was a combination 3+3 dose-escalation study for recurrent ovarian cancer. Patients received daily continuous oral afuresertib at 50-150 mg/day with three-weekly intravenous paclitaxel (175 mg/m2) and carboplatin (AUC5) for 6 cycles followed by maintenance afuresertib at 125mg/day until progression or toxicity. Part II was a single arm evaluation of the clinical activity of this combination in recurrent PROC (Cohort A) or PPROC (Cohort B). Patients received oral afuresertib at the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) defined in Part I in combination with PC for 6 cycles, followed by maintenance afuresertib. Primary endpoints were safety and tolerability of afuresertib in combination with PC (Part I, dose-...
