Brief summary:
This study will assess the safety, tolerability, and the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of MK-2206 in combination with both trastuzumab and trastuzumab/lapatinib in participants with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 positive (HER2+) breast cancer and other solid tumors. The primary hypothesis of this study is that the combination of oral MK-2206 with trastuzumab or with trastuzumab/lapatinib will be well tolerated in participants with advanced HER2+ solid tumors.

Detailed description:
This study was divided into 2 parts. In Part 1, cohorts of 3 participants were to be enrolled sequentially on escalating doses of MK-2206 in combination with a fixed dose of trastuzumab. Barring dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), additional participants were to be enrolled and dose-finding would proceed until an MTD was identified for MK-2206 when dosed either every other day (QOD) or once weekly (QW) in combination with trastuzumab. In Part 2, cohorts of 3 participants were to be enrolled sequentially on rising doses of lapatinib administered in combination with the MTD dose of MK-2206/trastuzumab established in Part 1. Barring DLTs, dose finding would proceed until an MTD of the 3-drug combination was identified.

Arms:
arm 1: Participants in Part 1 (Pt. 1) receive MK-2206 45 mg every other day (QOD), taken orally. In combination with MK-2206, trastuzumab is administered by intravenous (IV) infusion at an initial dose of 8 mg/kg (loading dose) followed by 6 mg/kg every 3 weeks (q3wk). arm 2: Participants in Pt. 1 receive MK-2206 60 mg QOD, taken orally. In combination with MK-2206, trastuzumab is administered by IV infusion at an initial dose of 8 mg/kg (loading dose) followed by 6 mg/kg q3wk. arm 3: Participants in Pt. 1 receive MK-2206 135 mg once weekly (QW), taken orally. In combination with MK-2206, trastuzumab is administered by IV infusion at an initial dose of 8 mg/kg (loading dose) followed by 6 mg/kg q3wk. arm 4: Participants in Pt. 1 receive MK-2206 200 mg QW, taken orally. In combination with MK-2206, trastuzumab is administered by IV infusion at an initial dose of 8 mg/kg (loading dose) followed by 6 mg/kg q3wk. arm 5: Participants in Part 2 (Pt. 2) receive MK-2206 (dosed either QOD or QW) taken orally at the maximum tolerated dose defined in Part 1 (Pt. 1 MTD). MK-2206 is administered in combination with trastuzumab (IV infusion at an initial dose of 8 mg/kg (loading dose) followed by 6 mg/kg q3wk) as well as lapatinib 500 mg taken orally once daily (QD). arm 6: Participants in Pt. 2 receive MK-2206 (dosed either QOD or QW) taken orally at the Pt. 1 MTD. MK-2206 is administered in combination with trastuzumab (IV infusion at an initial dose of 8 mg/kg (loading dose) followed by 6 mg/kg q3wk) as well as lapatinib 750 mg taken orally QD. arm 7: Participants in Part 2 (Pt. 2) receive MK-2206 (dosed either QOD or QW) taken orally at the Pt. 1 MTD. MK-2206 is administered in combination with trastuzumab (IV infusion at an initial dose of 8 mg/kg (loading dose) followed by 6 mg/kg q3wk) as well as lapatinib 1000 mg taken orally QD.

Interventions: intervention 1: MK-2206 intervention 2: Trastuzumab intervention 3: Lapatinib
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: \[Part 1\]: MK-2206 tablets will be given starting at a dose of 45 mg QOD and escalated to 60 mg QOD if tolerated, OR starting at a dose of 135 mg QW and escalated to 200 mg QW if tolerated. Dose reduction to 30mg QOD or 90 mg QW may be permitted. The dose of MK2206 will be increased or decreased as required to find the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of MK2206 for both the QOD and QW dosing schedules in combination with trastuzumab. \[Part 2\] The Part 2 dosing level and schedule of MK2206 will be chosen from the MTD of either the QOD or QW dosing schedules depending on the toxicity profile and preliminary efficacy. intervention 2: Trastuzumab will be administered as a 90-minute IV infusion at a loading dose of 8 mg/kg followed by 6 mg/kg q3wk. intervention 3: Lapatinib tablets will be administered orally QD in doses of 500 mg, 750 mg, or 1000 mg.
