Study Summary

This trial is studying a combination of drugs as a possible treatment for melanoma that has spread to other parts of the body and has not responded to other treatments.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with metastatic melanoma that hasn't improved after treatment, including PD-1 or PD-L1 therapy. Participants must have PTEN loss in their tumors, measurable disease, and a life expectancy of at least 12 weeks. They should be able to take oral medication and have good organ function. Women of childbearing potential and men with partners of childbearing potential must agree to use contraception.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests GSK2636771 combined with pembrolizumab on patients whose metastatic melanoma has not responded to previous treatments. Pembrolizumab is FDA-approved; GSK2636771 isn't and is used only for research now. The aim is to see if this drug combo can control the disease better than current options.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed here, common ones associated with cancer therapies like pembrolizumab include fatigue, skin reactions, diarrhea, musculoskeletal pain, fever, coughing and shortness of breath among others. Side effects from GSK2636771 are unknown due to its experimental nature.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: GSK2636771 + PembrolizumabExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Phase I: Participants receive the lowest dose level of GSK2636771. Each new group receives a higher dose of GSK2636771 than the group before it, if no intolerable side effects were seen. This will continue until the highest tolerable dose of GSK2636771 is found. Participants receive the same dose level of Pembrolizumab. Phase II: Participants receive GSK2636771 at the highest dose that was tolerated in Phase 1. Participants receive the same dose level of Pembrolizumab.
