Phase II Trial of SMO/ AKT/ NF2/CDK Inhibitors in Progressive Meningiomas With SMO/ AKT/ NF2/CDK Pathway Mutations

Summary: This phase II trial studies how well vismodegib, focal adhesion kinase (FAK) inhibitor GSK2256098, and capivasertib work in treating patients with meningioma that is growing, spreading, or getting worse (progressive). Vismodegib, FAK inhibitor GSK2256098, capivasertib, and abemaciclib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

3.1Clinical Trials Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
The safety population described in WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS reflects exposure to TRUQAP 400 mg orally, twice a day for 4 days followed by 3 days off, in combination with fulvestrant, in 355 patients in CAPItello-291 until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Among the 355 patients who received TRUQAP, 52% were exposed for 6 months or longer, and 27% were exposed for greater than one year. In this safety population, the most common (≥ 20%) adverse reactions including laboratory abnormalities were diarrhea (72%), cutaneous adverse reactions (58%), increased random glucose (57%), decreased lymphocytes (47%), decreased hemoglobin (45%), increased fasting glucose (37%), nausea and fatigue (35% each), decreased leukocytes (32%), increased triglycerides (27%), decreased neutrophils (23%), increased creatinine (22%), vomiting (21%), and stomatitis (20%).The safety population described in WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS also reflects exposure to TRUQAP 400 mg orally, twice a day for 4 days followed by 3 days off, in combination with abiraterone, in 503 patients with mAPMN/S prostate cancer with PTEN deficiency in CAPItello-281 until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
