Brief summary

This is a multicenter, worldwide, open-label study of MK-8353 in combination with selumetinib in participants with histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of advanced solid tumor. This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and exploratory efficacy of MK-8353 in combination with selumetinib.

Detailed description

As specified by Phase 1 protocol-flexible language, modifications to the dose or dosing regimen can be made to achieve the scientific goals of the trial objectives and/or ensure appropriate safety of the trial participants. The proposed doses may be adjusted based on evaluation of safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic data.

Interventions

Participants will receive MK-8353 orally twice daily (BID), escalated sequentially from 50 mg to 250 mg.

DRUGSelumetinib

Participants will receive selumetinib orally BID, escalated sequentially from 25 mg to 75 mg.

Number of Participants Experiencing Dose Limiting ToxicitiesCycle 1 (3-week Cycle) (Up to 3 weeks)A dose limiting toxicity (DLT) is defined as any hematologic or non-hematologic toxicity ≥Grade 3 per National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v4.0. The occurrence of any of the designated toxicities during Cycle 1 (3-week cycle) were considered a DLT, if assessed by the investigator to be possibly, probably, or definitely related to study treatment administration. The number of participants experiencing DLTs was assessed.
Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events~90 days after last treatment dose (up to ~45 weeks)An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a study intervention. The number of participants experiencing AEs was assessed.
Number of Participants Discontinuing Study Treatment Due to AEsUp to ~33 weeksAn AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a study intervention. The number of participants discontinuing study treatment due to AEs was assessed.

Number of Participants Discontinuing Study Treatment Due to AEs

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a study intervention. The number of participants discontinuing study treatment due to AEs was assessed.

Time frame: Up to ~33 weeks

Population: The analysis population included all participants who received at least one dose of study treatment.
