Summary:

      This randomized phase II trial studies how well trametinib with or without Akt inhibitor
      GSK2141795 (GSK2141795) works in treating patients with uveal melanoma that has spread to
      other parts of the body (metastatic). Trametinib and GSK2141795 may stop the growth of tumor
      cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known whether
      trametinib is more effective with or without GSK2141795 in treating patients with metastatic
      uveal melanoma.

             can be clinically obtained, as per standard practice for uveal melanoma; pathologic
