Brief Summary

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

This study was designed to assess the safety and efficacy of the combination of dapagliflozin plus metformin extended release (XR) compared with metformin XR during treatment with alpelisib plus fulvestrant in participants with Hormone Receptor (HR)-positive, Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor-2 (HER2)-negative advanced breast cancer with a Phosphoinositide-3-Kinase Catalytic subunit Alpha (PIK3CA) mutation following progression on or after endocrine-based therapy.

Detailed Description

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

This was a multicenter, randomized, open-label, active-controlled trial, stratified by diabetic status at baseline (i.e., normal vs prediabetic/diabetic based on fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and/or Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) laboratory values). The study included only participants with at least one baseline risk factor for the development of severe hyperglycemia which were diabetes (FPG ≥ 126 milligram (mg)/deciliter (dL) or ≥ 7.0 millimole (mmol)/liter (L) and/or HbA1c ≥ 6.5%), prediabetes (FPG ≥ 100 mg/dL to \< 126 mg/dL or 5.6 to \< 7.0 mmol/L and/or HbA1c 5.7 to \< 6.5%), obesity (body mass index \[BMI\] ≥ 30) and age (≥ 75 years).

The planned duration of treatment with alpelisib and fulvestrant was 12 cycles (28 days in each cycle) or until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or discontinuation from study treatment for any other reason, whichever came first.

Approximately 66 participants in each treatment arm were planned to be randomized to receive the combination of alpelisib and fulvestrant with either dapagliflozin plus metformin extended release (XR) or metformin XR alone. As a result of the early termination of the study due to emerging data demonstrating the impact of prophylactic metformin and slow recruitment, only 2 participants were enrolled in the study.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
