Study Summary

It is known that after application of MK-3475 activated PD -1 negatively regulates the activation of T cells through suppression of the path of PI3K / Akt. This study will identify the effectiveness of oral inhibitors of PI3K / Akt pathway in comparison with MK-3475 (pembrolizumab).

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Progression Free Survival
Secondary outcome measures
Safety and tolerability of Pembrolizumab (Assessed by reported adverse events using CTCAE version 4.0)
Other outcome measures
Safety and tolerability of inhibitors PI3K/Akt pathways as monotherapy (adverse events using CTCAE version 4.0)

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Suppressor of the PI3K/Akt pathwaysExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Pictilisib (GDC-0941) is a potent inhibitor of PI3Kα/δ. Patients will take the Pictilisib (capsules) orally with food. The dose should be taken every 3 weeks. BEZ235 (NVP-BEZ235) is a dual ATP-competitive PI3K and mTOR inhibitor. Inhibits ATR whileshown to be a poor inhibitor to Akt and PDK1. Patients will take the BEZ235 (capsules) orally with food. The dose should be taken every 3 weeks. Ipatasertib (GDC-0068) is a highly selective pan-Akt inhibitor targeting Akt1/2/3 . Patients will take the Ipatasertib (capsules) orally with food. The dose should be taken every 3 weeks. The suggested dosage of inhibitors of the PI3K/Akt pathway orally as a single dose in capsule and Packed in plastic boxes, so that preparations can be taken at home
Group II: MK-3475Active Control1 Intervention
Pembrolizumab (MK-3475) is a humanized monoclonal antibody. Information from these studies suggests that Pembrolizumab (MK-3475) may be beneficial in Glioblastoma / Gliosarcoma. Patients enrolling in phase 1 receive MK-3475 every 3 weeks, with the dose to be determined. MK-3475 will be given intravenously over the course of 30 minutes
