Study Description

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of alpelisib plus fulvestrant in men and post-menopausal women with HR-positive, HER2-negative, advanced or metastatic breast cancer (aBC) with a PIK3CA mutation, whose disease has progressed on or after endocrine-based treatment

This is a Phase IV, prospective, multicenter, open-label, non-comparative interventional study to assess the safety of alpelisib plus fulvestrant in men and post-menopausal women with HR-positive, HER2-negative, aBC with a PIK3CA mutation, whose disease has progressed on or after endocrine-based treatment.

Participants will be treated with alpelisib 300 mg orally once daily starting on Cycle 1 Day 1 in combination with fulvestrant (intramuscular injection) 500 mg on Cycle 1 Day 1 and Day 15, and Day 1 of every cycle thereafter in a 28 day cycle. Patients may be discontinued from treatment earlier due to unacceptable toxicity, disease progression, withdrawal of consent, or at the discretion of the investigator or the patient.

Participant has not recovered to grade 1 or better from related side effects of prior anti cancer therapy (with the exception of alopecia)
Participants receiving concomitant immunosuppressive agents or chronic corticosteroids use at the time of study entry except in cases outlined below: Topical applications, inhaled sprays, eye drops or local injections are allowed. Participants on stable low dose of corticosteroids for at least two weeks prior to enrollment are allowed
Bilateral diffuse lymphangitic carcinomatosis
Participants with a known history of HIV seropositivity. Screening for HIV infection at baseline is not required
Active, bleeding diathesis, or on oral anti-vitamin K medication (except low dose warfarin and acetylsalicylic acid or equivalent, as long as the INR is ≤2.0)
Any severe and/ or uncontrolled medical conditions
Participant with severe liver impairment (Child Pugh score B/C)
Participant has impairment of gastrointestinal (GI) function or GI disease that may significantly alter the absorption of the study drugs
Participant has any other concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled medical condition that would, in the investigator's judgment, contraindicate patient participation in the clinical study
Participant has documented pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease which is active and requiring treatment
Participant has active cardiac disease or a history of cardiac dysfunction
Participants with unresolved osteonecrosis of the jaw
Participant has a history of severe cutaneous reactions like Stevens-Johnson-Syndrome (SJS), Erythema Multiforme (EM), Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN), or Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS).
Participant is a nursing (lactating) or pregnant woman
Participant is a woman of child-bearing potential defined as all women physiologically capable of becoming pregnant, unless they are using highly effective methods of contraception during study treatment and at least for 1 week (for alpelisib) or 1 year (for fulvestrant based on prescribing label) after the last dose of each study drug (whichever comes later).
Participant is a sexually active male unwilling to use a condom during intercourse while taking study treatment, and for 1 week (for alpelisib) or 1 year (for fulvestrant based on prescribing label) after stopping each study drug (whichever comes later). A condom is required for all sexually active male participants to prevent them from fathering a child AND to prevent delivery of study treatment via seminal fluid to their partner. In addition, male participants must not donate sperm during study and up to the time period specified above.
