- Left ventricular ejection fraction >= institutional lower limit of normal (LLN) by echocardiogram (ECHO) or multigated acquisition scan (MUGA)
- Women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation; women of child-bearing potential must have a negative blood pregnancy test within 14 days prior to start of protocol treatment; should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately; men treated or enrolled on this protocol must also agree to use adequate contraception prior to the study, for the duration of study participation, and 4 months after completion of trametinib administration
- Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document
- Patients must agree to provide all imaging studies for central radiology review; this central radiology review may be performed retrospectively and will not be utilized for decision making for patients on study
- ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR CROSSOVER REGISTRATION
- Previously treated with trametinib on Arm A and experienced objective disease progression by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1
- Not removed from trametinib treatment due to the development of unacceptable toxicity that is not manageable with dose reduction
- No other drug treatment for malignant melanoma administered after completing study treatment with trametinib
Meet all eligibility criteria with the exception of:
- Prior therapy with trametinib will be permitted
- All laboratory parameters must be met as outlined except for ALT and total bilirubin, which must meet criteria for continued therapy
- Patients who are eligible for cross-over will not need to undergo another ophthalmologic examination
Exclusion Criteria:
- History of another malignancy except for those who have been disease-free for 3 years, or patients with a history of completely resected non-melanoma skin cancer and/or patients with indolent secondary malignancies not requiring active therapy, are eligible; consult the study MSK Principal Investigator or the Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program (CTEP) Medical Monitor if unsure whether second malignancies meet the requirements specified above
- History of interstitial lung disease or pneumonitis
- Any major surgery or extensive radiotherapy within 21 days prior to randomization and crossover
- Use of other investigational drugs within 28 days (or five half-lives, whichever is shorter; with a minimum of 14 days from the last dose) preceding the first dose of trametinib alone or with GSK2141795 and during the study
- Symptomatic or untreated leptomeningeal or brain metastases or spinal cord compression; treated brain metastases must have been stable for at least 1 month
- Have a known immediate or delayed hypersensitivity reaction or idiosyncrasy to drugs chemically related to trametinib, GSK2141795, or excipients or to dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)
- Current use of a prohibited medication
- History or current evidence/risk of retinal vein occlusion (RVO) or retinal pigment epithelial detachment (RPED) in the eye unaffected by uveal melanoma
- Patients with abnormal fasting glucose values (values > upper limit of normal [ULN] or < LLN) at screening will be excluded; in addition, patients with type 1 diabetes will also be excluded; however, patients with type 2 diabetes will be allowed if diagnosed >= 6 months prior to enrollment, and if presenting with a normal fasting glucose value and a regular hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C) =< 8% at screening
History or evidence of cardiovascular risk including any of the following:
- Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < LLN
- A QT interval corrected for heart rate using the Bazett's formula QTcB >= 480 msec
- History or evidence of current clinically significant uncontrolled arrhythmias (exception: patients with controlled atrial fibrillation for > 30 days prior to randomization are eligible)
- History of acute coronary syndromes (including myocardial infarction and unstable angina), coronary angioplasty, or stenting within 6 months prior to randomization
- History or evidence of current >= class II congestive heart failure as defined by the New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classification system
- Treatment-refractory hypertension defined as a blood pressure of systolic > 140 mmHg and/or diastolic > 90 mmHg which cannot be controlled by anti-hypertensive therapy
- Patients with intra-cardiac defibrillators
- Known cardiac metastases
- Known hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection (patients with chronic or cleared HBV and HCV infection are eligible); patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are not eligible if on anti-retroviral medications
- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
- The study drug must not be administered to pregnant women or nursing mothers; women of childbearing potential should be advised to avoid pregnancy and use effective methods of contraception; men with a female partner of childbearing potential must have either had a prior vasectomy or agree to use effective contraception; if a female patient or a female partner of a patient becomes pregnant while the patient receives trametinib, the potential hazard to the fetus should be explained to the patient and partner (as applicable)
