Brief Summary

This phase II clinical trial studies how well Akt inhibitor MK2206 works in treating patients with relapsed lymphoma. Akt inhibitor MK2206 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Determine the objective response rate (ORR) of MK-2206 (Akt inhibitor MK2206) in patients with relapsed/refractory lymphoma.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Assess the progression free survival (PFS) of MK-2206 in patients with relapsed/refractory lymphoma.

II. Assess the safety and tolerability of MK-2206 monotherapy. III. Examine pretreatment phosphorylated v-akt murine thymoma viral oncogene homolog 1 (pAkt) protein expression by immunohistochemistry, and correlate the results with treatment response.

IV. Examine the effect of therapy on serum cytokines and chemokines that regulate the tumor-promoting inflammatory process and/or immunity in patients with relapsed/refractory lymphoma, and correlate the results with treatment response.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive Akt inhibitor MK2206 orally (PO) once weekly. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 30 days.

Primary Outcome Measures

Objective Response Rate (ORR)	4 months	Complete Response (CR) Disappearance of all evidence of disease(a) FDG-avid or PET positive prior to therapy; mass of any size permitted if PET negative (b) Variably FDG-avid or PET negative; regression to normal size on CT Not palpable, nodules disappeared Infiltrate cleared on repeat biopsy; if indeterminate by morphology, immuno histochemistry should be negative.; Partial Response (PR) Regression of measurable disease and no new sites, 50% decrease in , sum of the product of the diameters SPD of up to 6 largest dominant masses; no increase in size of other nodes(a) FDG-avid or PET positive prior to therapy; one or more PET positive at previously involved site (b) Variably FDG-avid or PET negative; regression on CT, 50% decrease in SPD of nodules (for single nodule in greatest transverse diameter); no increase in size of liver or spleen, Irrelevant if positive prior to therapy; cell type should be specified.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Progression-free Survival	From treatment start date until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first.	Kaplan-Meier method was used. The log-rank test was performed to test the difference in time-to-event distributions between patient groups. Cox proportional hazards model was used to include multiple covariates in the time-to-event analysis.
Duration of Response	From the time measurement criteria are met for complete response or partial response (whichever is first recorded) until the first date that recurrent or progressive disease is objectively documented.	Kaplan-Meier method was used. The log-rank test was performed to test the difference in time-to-event distributions between patient groups. Cox proportional hazards model was used to include multiple covariates in the time-to-event analysis.
Overall Survival	From the start of treatment to death or 30 days after removal from the study whichever occurs first	Number of surviving participants without disease progression or death for any reason at one year post treatment. Kaplan-Meier method was used.
Number of Participants With Change in Cytokine Levels With p Values <0.05	Baseline to up to 30 days post-treatment	The changes in the cytokine levels from baseline analyzed by Wilcoxon signed rank test. P values \< 0.05 were considered statistically significant.
Number of Participants With Change in Chemokine Levels With p Values <0.05	Baseline to up to 30 days post-treatment	The changes in the chemokine levels from baseline analyzed by Wilcoxon signed rank test. P values \< 0.05 were considered statistically significant.
Number of Participants With Change in Biomarker Levels With p Values <0.05	Baseline to up to 30 days post-treatment	The changes in the cytokine levels from baseline analyzed by Wilcoxon signed rank test. P values \< 0.05 were considered statistically significant.
