Intermittent Selumetinib for Uveal Melanoma

Summary

The purpose of this study is to find out what effects, good and/or bad, intermittent dosing of the drug Selumetinib will have on subjects with uveal melanoma. Selumetinib is a drug that blocks (or turns off) methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), a protein activated in some uveal melanoma cells. Selumetinib is a MEK inhibitor. Blocking MEK may stop the cancer from growing.

Conditions

• Uveal Melanoma

Interventions

DRUG

Selumetinib, 100mg

100mg, oral capsules, twice daily An orally active, small molecule with potential antineoplastic activity. Selumetinib is an ATP-independent inhibitor of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK) or MAPK/extracellular-signal-regulated kinase (ERK) kinase) 1 and 2. Inhibition of both MEK1 and 2 by selumetinib prevents the activation of MEK1/2 dependent effector proteins and transcription factors, thereby leading to an inhibition of cellular proliferation in various cancers.

DRUG

Selumetinib, 125mg

125mg, oral capsules, twice daily An orally active, small molecule with potential antineoplastic activity. Selumetinib is an ATP-independent inhibitor of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK) or MAPK/extracellular-signal-regulated kinase (ERK) kinase) 1 and 2. Inhibition of both MEK1 and 2 by selumetinib prevents the activation of MEK1/2 dependent effector proteins and transcription factors, thereby leading to an inhibition of cellular proliferation in various cancers.

DRUG

Selumetinib, 150mg

150mg, oral capsules, twice daily An orally active, small molecule with potential antineoplastic activity. Selumetinib is an ATP-independent inhibitor of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK) or MAPK/extracellular-signal-regulated kinase (ERK) kinase) 1 and 2. Inhibition of both MEK1 and 2 by selumetinib prevents the activation of MEK1/2 dependent effector proteins and transcription factors, thereby leading to an inhibition of cellular proliferation in various cancers.

DRUG

Selumetinib, 175mg

175mg, oral capsules, twice daily An orally active, small molecule with potential antineoplastic activity. Selumetinib is an ATP-independent inhibitor of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK) or MAPK/extracellular-signal-regulated kinase (ERK) kinase) 1 and 2. Inhibition of both MEK1 and 2 by selumetinib prevents the activation of MEK1/2 dependent effector proteins and transcription factors, thereby leading to an inhibition of cellular proliferation in various cancers.

DRUG

Selumetinib, 200mg

200mg, oral capsules, twice daily An orally active, small molecule with potential antineoplastic activity. Selumetinib is an ATP-independent inhibitor of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK) or MAPK/extracellular-signal-regulated kinase (ERK) kinase) 1 and 2. Inhibition of both MEK1 and 2 by selumetinib prevents the activation of MEK1/2 dependent effector proteins and transcription factors, thereby leading to an inhibition of cellular proliferation in various cancers.

DRUG

Selumetinib, 225mg
