Because low grade serous carcinoma of the ovary is relatively chemo resistant disease, this study evaluated Selumetinib (AZD6244), an inhibitor of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK-1/2), and explored associations between RAS, and RAF family mutations with clinical outcome. Women with recurrent low-grade serous ovarian or peritoneal carcinoma were eligible and received Selumetinib at 100 mg. orally b.i.d. until progression or toxicity were enrolled in Gynecologic Oncology protocol 239(NCT00551070). This trial has been completed and we are reporting the results. The primary endpoint of this trial was to examine tumor response rate to Selumetinib. The study used all-treated patients to determine response rate and overall survival. Fifty-two patients were enrolled over two years. Eight patients (15.4%) had complete (1) or partial (7) responses, and 34 (65%) had stable disease. There were no treatment-related deaths. There were three observed grade 4 toxicities and 46 grade 3 toxicities that occurred in more than one patient. Observed grade 4 toxicities were cardiac (1), pain (1), and pulmonary (1). Grade 3 toxicities that occurred included gastrointestinal (13), dermatologic (9), and metabolic (7). Selumetinib is well tolerated, and is active in the treatment of recurrent low-grade serous carcinoma. In exploratory analyses, response to Selumetinib did not appear to be related to RAS/RAF mutational status. The 63% disease control is encouraging and worthy of further evaluation of MEK inhibitors in this population. This study was supported by National Cancer Institute grants to the Gynecologic Oncology Group.
