within 28 days of enrollment to confirm the absence of CNS metastases
- Contrast computed tomography (CT) is acceptable for patients who are unable
to undergo a brain MRI
- ECOG performance status ≤ 1

exam
- Examples of disqualifying baseline conditions may include:

funduscopic examinations

Adverse Events (CTCAE) grade 1 (> 480 msec); in addition, patients should not be
receiving non-study medications known to prolong QTc
- No patients on treatment for rheumatoid arthritis or systemic lupus erythematosus
- No history of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or
biologic composition to agents used in study

mg/dL or glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) > 7% at screening
- No diabetic patients requiring insulin for glucose control at the time of study entry
- Patient must not have ongoing ventricular cardiac dysrhythmias of grade ≥ 2 as
described by the CTEP Version 4.0 of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) CTCAE
- No condition (e.g., gastrointestinal tract disease resulting in an inability to take
oral medication or a requirement for IV alimentation, prior surgical procedures
affecting absorption; ulcerative colitis, inflammatory bowel disease, a partial or
complete small bowel obstruction, or active peptic ulcer disease) that impairs
patients ability to swallow and retain MK-2206 or hydroxychloroquine tablets
- No uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active
infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, or
psychiatric illness/social situations that would affect safety or limit compliance
with study requirements
- Known HIV-positive patients on combination antiretroviral therapy are ineligible
- Must not have psoriasis or porphyria
- Must not have known hypersensitivity to 4-aminoquinoline compound
- Must not have retinal or visual field changes from prior 4-aminoquinoline compound
use
- Must not have known glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6PD) deficiency
- No patients with liver disease such as cirrhosis, chronic active hepatitis, or
chronic persistent hepatitis
- No current treatment on another clinical trial; participation in non-therapeutic
clinical trials is permissible
- No concurrent investigational or commercial agents to treat this malignancy except:
- Androgen-deprivation therapy for prostate cancer
- LHRH agonists for breast cancer
- Patient must have recovered from toxicity of prior chemotherapy, molecularly targeted
agents and/or radiotherapy
- Patient may not have received chemotherapy in the prior 4 weeks (6 weeks for
nitrosoureas or mitomycin C)
- Patients may have not received a molecularly targeted agent within the past 4 weeks
or 5 half lives (which ever is less)
- Patients may have not received radiotherapy in the prior 3 weeks
- No failure to recover fully (as judged by the investigator) from prior surgical
procedures, or failure to recover from adverse events (grade ≤ 1) due to agents
administered more than 4 weeks earlier
- No concurrent treatment with an investigational agent other than the investigational
agent(s) used in this study OR treatment within 4 weeks of study entry with any
investigational agent(s) or device(s)
- Known HIV-positive patients on combination antiretroviral therapy are ineligible
- Must not be taking hydroxychloroquine for treatment or prophylaxis of malaria
