PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 year

In the phase I portion, up to 18 patients will be enrolled in classic 3+3 cohort dose escalation design to identify the MTD of MEK162 when administered with gemcitabine and cisplatin given weeks 2 and 3 of a 3 week cycle .

Phase I component of the study, a classic 3+3 cohort dose escalation scheme will be used to identify the MTD of MEK162 when administered with gemcitabine at dose 800 mg/m2 and cisplatin given at dose 20 mg/m2 week 2 \& 3 of a 3 week cycle. The final cohort will receive gemcitabine 1000mg/m2 and cisplatin 20mg/m2 week 2 and 3 of a 3 week cycle in combination with MEK162 at the MTD as determined above. In the phase II part of the study, patients will receive MEK162 at the MTD dose plus gemcitabine and cisplatin at the dose level determined acceptable in the phase I portion. In the phase II part of the study, patients will receive MEK162 at 45mg BID plus gemcitabine (800 mg/m2) and cisplatin (20 mg/m2) as determined by the phase I portion.
MTD of MEK162 - Phase I
45 mg

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months

An exact binomial single stage design will be used to discriminate between true 6-month PFS rates of 59% vs. 82%, and between true response rates of 26% and 50%. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions
