Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

BKM120 is a potent and highly specific oral pan-class I phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor, currently under investigation in a first-in-man study in patients with advanced solid tumors (wild type and PIK3CA-mutated). Consistent, dose-dependent pharmacodynamic activity has been demonstrated and clear signs of anti-tumor activity have been seen with BKM120.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

BKM120 is a potent and highly specific oral pan-class I phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor, currently under investigation in a first-in-man study in patients with advanced solid tumors (wild type and PIK3CA-mutated). Consistent, dose-dependent pharmacodynamic activity has been demonstrated and clear signs of anti-tumor activity have been seen with BKM120. Three breast cancer patients showed significant tumor shrinkage after ≥ 2 months. Two confirmed partial responses (PRs) per RECIST have been seen, one in a patient with a triple negative KRAS-mutated breast cancer and the other in a patient with an estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, PIK3CAmutated tumor. Two minor responses have also been observed; one of these occurred in a HER2+/ER+ breast cancer patient.

* Platelet count of \> 100,000/ mm3
* Hemoglobin \> 90g/L
* Biochemistry
* AST/SGOT and ALT/SGPT \< 2.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) or \< 5.0 x ULN if the transaminase elevation is due to liver metastases

* Women of child-bearing potential who are pregnant or breast feeding and adults of reproductive potential not employing an effective method of birth control.
