Aggressive growing meningiomas resistant to multiple surgeries and radiotherapy constitute an unmet pharmaceutical need in neurooncology, leading to a fatal issue within a few months. Grade II-III meningiomas progression-free survival (PFS) 6 is at 10-15%. Median PFS grade III meningioma is approximate 3 years. Alpelisib is a well-tolerated Phosphoinositide 3-kinase α (Pi3Kα) specific inhibitor. However, phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) and the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibition does not induce apoptosis in vitro and induces an antiproliferative effect without any radiologic response in most treated patients. Trametinib, a mekinist (MEK) inhibitor is currently used in combined treatment for recurrent melanomas in clinical practice with a good clinical tolerance at 1-2 mg daily. In vitro, on meningioma primary cell culture, Trametinib induces cell apoptosis via caspase activity. These results strongly suggest the relevance to combine Alpelisib and Trametinib in aggressive and recurrent meningiomas. Alpelisib and Trametinib combination has not been studied to date, despite each drugs have been separately studied in phase 3. Multicenter, open label, dose-finding phase I study of Alpelisib in combination with Trametinib administered at a fixed dose (1.5 mg daily), both drugs will be administered daily. Starting dose of Alpelisib will be 160mg/day and will be increased to 200mg/day or decreased to 120mg/day depending of grade 3-4 adverse events occurrence, to determine maximal tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended dose. Primary Objective is to determine the safety profile and tolerability of Alpelisib and Trametinib given in combination in patients with aggressive and refractory meningiomas in terms of Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLT, assessed during cycle 1).

Study Type
An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies. |

Trial ID:
This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries. |
NCT03631953 |
Phase
Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use. |
