Data from Alpelisib Monotherapy for PI3K-Altered, Pretreated Advanced Breast Cancer: A Phase II Study

Résumé fourni par la source

Abstract There is limited knowledge on the benefit of the α-subunit–specific PI3K inhibitor alpelisib in later lines of therapy for advanced estrogen receptor–positive (ER+) HER2− and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). We conducted a phase II multicohort study of alpelisib monotherapy in patients with advanced PI3K pathway mutant ER+HER2− and TNBC. In the intention-to-treat ER+ cohort, the overall response rate was 30% and the clinical benefit rate was 36%. A decline in PI3K pathway mutant circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) levels from baseline to week 8 while on therapy was significantly associated with a partial response, clinical benefit, and improved progression-free-survival [HR 0.24; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.083–0.67, P = 0.0065]. Detection of ESR1 mutations at baseline in plasma was also associated with clinical benefit and improved progression-free survival (HR 0.22; 95% CI, 0.078–0.60, P = 0.003). Significance: Alpelisib monotherapy displayed efficacy in heavily pretreated ER+ breast cancer with PIK3CA mutations. PIK3CA mutation dynamics in plasma during treatment and ESR1 mutations detected in plasma at baseline were candidate biomarkers predictive of benefit from alpelisib, highlighting the utility of ctDNA assays in this setting.
