Trametinib + HDM201 in CRC Patients With RAS/RAF Mutant and TP53 Wild-type Advanced/Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Mutant and TP53 Wild-type

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Recent preclinical studies suggest that combining MEK and MDM2 inhibition synergize to induce apoptosis in RAS/BRAF-mutant and TP53 wild-type CRC models. In vitro, in RKO cell lines (poorly differentiated colon carcinoma cell line resistant to single agent targeting MDM2 and MEK and BRAF inhibition), the MDM2 plus MEK inhibitor combination generated a synergistic increase in apoptotic index. In vivo, in mice harboring human RKO colon tumor xenografts the combination of MDM2 plus MEK inhibition elicited 93% decreases in tumor volume. This trial is to conduct a single-center, Phase 1 dose escalation study of trametinib combined with HDM201 (a HDM2 inhibitor) in patients with advanced/metastatic RAS/RAF mutant and TP53 wt CRC.

Detailed Description
-----------------
This trial is a Phase I dose escalation study aiming to evaluate the safety of a combined treatment associating HDM201 (escalating doses) with Trametinib (fixed dose). This study will utilize sequential and adaptive Bayesian design using the method of Time-to-event Continual Reassessment Method (CRM) to guide dose escalation and estimate the MTD.
