Measure
Arm I (BKM120 PO and Cetuximab 500 mg IV 14 Days)
Patients receive PI3K inhibitor BKM120 PO QD 100 mg/day on days -7 to 0. Patients complete 1 week washout. After dose escalation phase, 3 patients receive BKM120 PO 80mg / day and cetuximab 500 mg IV /14 days and 9 patients receive BKM120 PO 100mg / day and cetuximab 500 mg IV /14 days thereafter. All patients receive PI3K inhibitor BKM120 PO QD day on days 1-28 and cetuximab IV over 60-120 minutes on days 1 and 15. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. PI3K inhibitor BKM120: Given PO cetuximab: Given IV

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 week

Population: Data not collected

Performed using snap frozen tissue samples using the well-established PamGene Kinase array platform available in the Salgia/Seiwert laboratories.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 28 days

Population: 0 patients out of 3 from the BKM 80mg/day cohort had DLT (dose limiting toxicities). 0 patients out of 9 from the BKM 100mg/day cohort had DLT.

Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is defined as the dose level preceding the dose in which greater than or equal to 2 out of 3-6 patients experience a dose limiting toxicity (DLT) assessed using CTCAE v4
