Authorised Therapeutic confirmatory (Phase III) Hormone receptor positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer

A clinical study to assess the efficacy of alpelisib plus fulvestrant in participants with HR-positive, HER2-negative, advanced breast cancer after treatment with a CDK4/6 inhibitor and an aromatase inhibitor

EU CTIS ID: 2023-509133-39-00

What this study is testing

To determine whether treatment with alpelisib plus fulvestrant prolongs progression-free survival (PFS) compared to treatment with placebo plus fulvestrant

Who can take part

You may be able to join if

  • Participant is an adult ≥ 18 years old at the time of informed consent and has signed informed consent before any trial related activities and according to local guidelines.
  • Participant has a histologically and/or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of ER+ and/or PgR+ breast cancer by local laboratory.
  • Participant has HER2-negative breast cancer defined as a negative in situ hybridization test or an IHC status of 0, 1+ or 2+. If IHC is 2+, a negative in situ hybridization (Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), Chromogenic in situ hybridization (CISH), or Silver-enhanced in situ hybridization (SISH)) test is required by local laboratory testing.
  • Participant has at least one measurable lesion as per RECIST v1.1 criteria as assessed by Investigator (a lesion at a previously irradiated site may only be counted as a target lesion if there is clear sign of progression since the irradiation).
  • Participant has recurrence or progression of disease during or after combined AI (i.e. letrozole, anastrozole, exemestane) and CDK4/6 inhibitor therapy. The combined AI and CDK4/6 inhibitor therapy does not need to be the latest treatment regimen (including adjuvant setting).
  • Participant has received ≤2 prior lines of systemic therapies overall in the metastatic setting, of which a maximum of 1 line of prior treatment with chemotherapy (except for neoadjuvant/ adjuvant chemotherapy) is permitted.

You likely can't join if

  • Participant with symptomatic visceral disease or any disease burden that makes the participant ineligible for endocrine therapy (ET) per the investigator's best judgment.
  • Participant who relapsed with documented evidence of progression more than 12 months from completion of (neo)adjuvant endocrine/endocrine-based therapy with no treatment for metastatic disease
  • Participant has received prior treatment with fulvestrant, any oral selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD), any Phosphatidylinositol-3-Kinase (PI3K), mammalian Target of Rapamycin (mTOR) or Protein Kinase B (AKT) inhibitor

  • The presence of PIK3CA mutation(s) determined in tumor tissue prior to enrollment either by a Novartis designated laboratory or in tumor tissue or plasma ctDNA by a local laboratory using a Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved PIK3CA Companion Diagnostics (CDx) test for alpelisib or the CE-IVD QIAGEN Therascreen® PIK3CA RGQ PCR test.
  • If female, then the participant must be in postmenopausal status
What rules you out
  • Participant with symptomatic visceral disease or any disease burden that makes the participant ineligible for endocrine therapy (ET) per the investigator's best judgment.
