MK2206 in Combination With Anastrozole, Fulvestrant, or Anastrozole and Fulvestrant in Treating Postmenopausal Women With Metastatic Breast Cancer
Non-randomizedParallel-groupOpen-labelTreatment
Summary
This phase I trial studies the side effects and the best dose of MK 2206 (Akt inhibitor MK2206) when given with anastrozole, fulvestrant, or anastrozole and fulvestrant in treating postmenopausal women with breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. Estrogen can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy using anastrozole or fulvestrant may fight breast cancer by lowering the amount of estrogen the body makes. Akt inhibitor MK2206 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving Akt inhibitor MK2206 together with anastrozole, fulvestrant, or anastrozole and fulvestrant may kill more tumor cells.
