Study Summary

This trial tests if adding a targeted therapy to chemotherapy can help people with solid tumor cancers.

Who is the study for?
Adults with solid tumors that can't be surgically removed, have spread, and show an AKT genetic mutation. They must have progressed after taxane-based therapy within 6 months and meet specific health criteria including organ function tests. Excluded are those who've had prior AKT inhibitors, certain mutations, uncontrolled illnesses or bowel inflammation, or are pregnant.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the combination of chemotherapy (paclitaxel) with a targeted drug called Ipatasertib in patients whose solid tumors carry an AKT mutation. The goal is to see if this combo can shrink these cancers or stop their growth more effectively than standard treatments.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions to Ipatasertib such as diarrhea and rash; paclitaxel may cause nerve damage, allergic reactions, muscle pain. Both drugs could potentially affect blood counts leading to increased infection risk and might cause liver issues.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Treatment (paclitaxel, ipatasertib)Experimental Treatment6 Interventions
Patients receive paclitaxel IV on days 1, 8, and 15 and ipatasertib PO on days 1-21. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 35 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo a CT or MRI and blood collection throughout the trial. Patients also undergo a tumor biopsy during screening and follow-up.
