Purpose
This is a multi-center, open-label, phase Ib/II study. First, the aim of the phase Ib part is to estimate the MTD(s) and/or to identify the recommended phase II dose(s) (RP2D) for the combination of MEK162 and AMG 479 (ganitumab), followed by the phase II part to assess the clinical efficacy and to further assess the safety of the combination in selected patient populations. The dose escalation part of the study will be guided by a Bayesian Logistic Regression Model (BLRM). At least 18 patients are expected to be enrolled in the dose escalation part.
Following MTD/ RP2D declaration, patients will be enrolled in three phase II arms to assess efficacy of the combination as well as to better understand the safety, tolerability, PK, antibody concentrations and PD of the combination at MTD/RP2D. Phase II arm 1 will consist of approximately 25 patients with KRAS-mutant colorectal adenocarcinoma. Phase II arm 2 will consist of approximately 20 patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Phase II arm 3 will consist of approximately 28 patients with mutant BRAFV600 melanoma.
Patients will be treated until progression of disease, unacceptable toxicity develops, or withdrawal of informed consent, whichever occurs first. All patients will be followed up - at minimum patients must complete the safety follow-up assessments 30 days after the last dose of the study treatment.

Primary Outcome Measures:
- Phase Ib: Estimation of Maximum Tolerated Doses (MTDs) and/or recommended Phase II doses (RP2Ds) by measuring incidence of dose limiting toxicities [ Time Frame: Approximately 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]To estimate the MTDs and/or RP2Ds of MEK162 in combination with AMG479 by measuring incidence of dose limiting toxicities in Cycle 1 (Cycle 1 = 28 days)
- Phase II: Antitumor activity of MEK162 in combination with AMG 479 by evaluating Objective Response Rate (ORR) in colorectal carcinoma and melanoma and by evaluating Disease Control Rate (DCR) at week 10 in pancreatic carcinoma [ Time Frame: Approximately 24 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]To estimate the antitumor activity of MEK162 in combination with AMG479 by evaluating Objective Response Rate (ORR) according to RECIST 1.1 in colorectal carcinoma and melanoma and by evaluating the Disease Control Rate (DCR) per RECIST 1.1 at week 10 in pancreatic carcinoma
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Both Phases: Safety and tolerability of MEK162 & AMG 479 (ganitumab) in combination by evaluating the adverse events, serious adverse events, changes in hematology and chemistry values, vital signs, ECGs; dose interruptions, reductions and dose intensity [ Time Frame: Phase Ib: Approximately 6 months; Phase II: Approximately 24 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]To characterize the safety and tolerability of MEK162 and AMG 479 (ganitumab) in combination by evaluating the incidence and severity of adverse events, serious adverse events (as per CTCAE grading), changes in hematology and chemistry values, vital signs, ECGs; dose interruptions, reductions and dose intensity
- Both Phases: Determination of single and multiple dose pharmacokinetics (PK) profile of MEK162 in combination with AMG 479 (ganitumab) by measuring time vs. plasma concentrations and basic PK parameters of MEK162 [ Time Frame: Phase Ib: Approximately 6 months; Phase II: Approximately 24 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]To determine single and multiple dose PK profile of MEK162 in combination with AMG 479 (ganitumab) by measuring time vs. plasma concentration as well as basic PK parameters of MEK162 at different timepoints prior and post study drug combination dosing.
- Phase Ib: Preliminary anti-tumor activity of MEK162 and AMG 479 (ganitumab) in combination by evaluating the Overall Response Rate (ORR), Duration of Response (DOR) and Progression Free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: Approximately 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]To assess preliminary anti-tumor activity of MEK162 and AMG 479 (ganitumab) in combination by evaluating Overall Response Rate (ORR), Duration of Response (DOR), Progression Free Survival (PFS) as assessed by the investigator according to RECIST 1.1
- Phase II: Further anti-tumor activity of MEK162 & AMG 479 (ganitumab) in combination by evaluating the DOR, PFS and OS by evaluating Disease Control Rate for colorectal carcinoma and melanoma; Overall Response Rate for pancreatic carcinoma patients [ Time Frame: Approximately 24 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]To further assess the anti-tumor activity of MEK162 and AMG 479 (ganitumab) in combination by evaluating the Duration of Response (DOR) and Progression Free Survival (PFS) per RECIST 1.1 and Overall Survival in all phase II patients and by evaluating the Disease Control Rate (DCR) per RECIST 1.1 for colorectal carcinoma and melanoma and Overall Response Rate (ORR) per RECIST 1.1 for pancreatic carcinoma patients
