Brief Summary

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.

Detailed Description

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any other reason and will be followed for survival regardless of treatment discontinuation reason (except if consent is withdrawn or participant is lost to follow up).

Study Groups

Cohort 1:CDK4/6 inhibitor naive or pre-treated (Part 1)

Participants regardless of prior CDK4/6 inhibitor will be treated at escalating doses (200 mg, 250 mg and 300 mg, orally) of BYL719 in combination with Fulvestrant (500 mg, intramuscular).

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Alpelisib

Intervention Type: DRUG

[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.

Fulvestrant

Intervention Type: DRUG

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).

Cohort 2: CDK4/6 inhibitor naive (Part 2)

Participants who are CDK4/6 inhibitor naive will be treated with BYL719 at the recommended dose identified in Part 1 in combination with Fulvestrant (500 mg, intramuscular).

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL
