PHASE 2… CANCER

Uprosertib, also known as GSK2141795 and GSK795, is an orally bioavailable inhibitor of the serine/threonine protein kinase Akt (protein kinase B) with potential antineoplastic activity.

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is evaluating the compound in phase II clinical studies for the treatment of endometrial carcinoma and multiple myeloma in combination with trametinib.

GSK-2141795, an oral AKT inhibitor, is in early clinical trials at GlaxoSmithKline for the treatment of solid tumors and lymphoma. The company is conducting phase II clinical trials for the treatment of patients with BRAF wild-type mutation melanoma and for the treatment of recurrent or persistent cervical cancer in combination with trametinib.

Akt inhibitor GSK2141795 binds to and inhibits the activity of Akt, which may result in inhibition of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway and tumor cell proliferation and the induction of tumor cell apoptosis. Activation of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway is frequently associated with tumorigenesis and dysregulated PI3K/Akt signaling may contribute to tumor resistance to a variety of antineoplastic agents.
