Study Assessing the Efficacy and Safety of Treatment With Alpelisib Plus Fulvestrant in Japanese Men and Postmenopausal Women With Advanced Breast Cancer

Phase 2Active Not RecruitingNCT04524000

Novartis Pharmaceuticals24 enrolled

Overview

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of alpelisib plus fulvestrant in men and postmenopausal women with hormone receptor (HR) positive, human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2)-negative, advanced breast cancer harboring a PIK3CA mutation in Japan, whose disease has progressed on or after aromatase inhibitor (AI) treatment regardless of prior CDK4/6 inhibitor use.

This is a Phase II open-label, 2-Part, multi-center study in Japan. The study will be conducted in two parts: Part 1 (Cohort 1) includes participants regardless of prior CDK4/6 inhibitor use and is designed to determine the recommended dose (RD), evaluate the tolerability and safety of alpelisib in combination with fulvestrant. Part 2 consists of 2 cohorts (the CDK4/6 inhibitor naive participants are in Cohort 2 and the CDK4/6 inhibitor pre-treated participants are in Cohort 3) which are designed to assess the efficacy and safety of alpelisib in combination with fulvestrant, will start once the RD of alpelisib is established. Participants will be treated until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, death or discontinuation from the study treatment for any other reason and will be followed for survival regardless of treatment discontinuation reason (except if consent is withdrawn or participant is lost to follow up).

Interventions

AlpelisibDRUG

\[Part 1\] Alpelisib administered at 200 mg (DL 1), 250 mg (DL 2) or 300mg (DL 3) orally once daily on a continuous dosing schedule starting on Cycle 1 Day 1 in a 28 day cycle. If DL 1 is tolerated, the alpelisib doses of 250 mg will be investigated. If DL 2 is tolerated, the alpelisib doses of 300 mg will be investigated. \[Part 2\] In the Part 2, participants will be enrolled into Cohort 2 (CDK4/6 inhibitor naive) and Cohort 3 (CDK4/6 inhibitor pre-treated) in parallel and alpelisib will be administered at the recommended dose identified in Part 1.

FulvestrantDRUG

Fulvestrant is administered at a dose of 500 mg intramuscular on Cycle 1 Day 1, Day 15, and Day 1 of every cycle thereafter (where a cycle is 28 days).

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

[Part 1] The incidence of Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) of alpelisib in combination with fulvestrant

A DLT is defined as an AE or abnormal laboratory value assessed as unrelated to disease, disease progression, inter-current illness, or concomitant medications that occurs within the first 2 cycles (the first 56 days) of treatment with alpelisib in combination with fulvestrant and meets any of the criteria specified in the protocol .

Time frame: From Cycle 1 Day 1 to Cycle 2 Day 28 (Cycle = 28 days)

[Part 2] Overall Response Rate (ORR) in CDK4/6 inhibitor naive participants

ORR is defined as the proportion of participants with best overall response (BOR) of confirmed complete response (CR) or confirmed partial response (PR) based on local investigator assessment per RECIST 1.1.

Time frame: Up to approximately 36 months

Secondary Outcomes

[Part 1] Number of participants with Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

Safety is determined by incidence, type, and severity of adverse events per CTCAE v4.03 criteria including changes in laboratory values, vital signs, liver assessments, renal and cardiac assessments.

Time frame: Up to approximately 37 months

[Part 1] Number of participants with dose adjustments

The number of participants with dose adjustments (reductions, interruption, or permanent discontinuation) and the reasons

Time frame: Up to approximately 37 months

[Part 1] Dose intensity for alpelisib and fulvestrant

The dose intensity (computed as the ratio of actual cumulative dose received and actual duration of exposure) and the relative dose intensity (computed as the ratio of dose intensity and planned dose intensity)

Time frame: Up to approximately 37 months
