About this study

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other reason and will be followed for survival regardless of treatment discontinuation reason (except if consent is withdrawn or participant is lost to follow up).

Treatment and study plan

Alpelisib

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.

Other names: BYL719

Fulvestrant

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).

Other names: Faslodex

Primary outcomes

  1. [Part 1] The incidence of Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) of alpelisib in combination with fulvestrant

    Time frame: From Cycle 1 Day 1 to Cycle 2 Day 28 (Cycle = 28 days)

    A DLT is defined as an AE or abnormal laboratory value assessed as unrelated to disease, disease progression, inter-current illness, or concomitant medications that occurs within the first 2 cycles (the first 56 days) of treatment with alpelisib in combination with fulvestrant and meets any of the criteria specified in the protocol .

  2. [Part 2] Overall Response Rate (ORR) in CDK4/6 inhibitor naive participants

    Time frame: Up to approximately 36 months

    ORR is defined as the proportion of participants with best overall response (BOR) of confirmed complete response (CR) or confirmed partial response (PR) based on local investigator assessment per RECIST 1.1.

Secondary outcomes

  1. [Part 1] Number of participants with Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    Time frame: Up to approximately 37 months

    Safety is determined by incidence, type, and severity of adverse events per CTCAE v4.03 criteria including changes in laboratory values, vital signs, liver assessments, renal and cardiac assessments.

  2. [Part 1] Number of participants with dose adjustments

    Time frame: Up to approximately 37 months

    The number of participants with dose adjustments (reductions, interruption, or permanent discontinuation) and the reasons

  3. [Part 1] Dose intensity for alpelisib and fulvestrant

    Time frame: Up to approximately 37 months

    The dose intensity (computed as the ratio of actual cumulative dose received and actual duration of exposure) and the relative dose intensity (computed as the ratio of dose intensity and planned dose intensity)

  4. [Part 1] Duration of exposure for alpelisib and fulvestrant

    Time frame: Up to approximately 37 months

    The duration of exposure (in months) to alpelisib and fulvestrant

    Time frame: Up to approximately 36 months

    ORR is defined as the proportion of participants with best overall response (BOR) of confirmed complete response (CR) or confirmed partial response (PR) based on local investigator assessment per RECIST 1.1.

  7. [Part 2] Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    Time frame: Up to approximately 36 months

    PFS is defined as the time from the date of first administration of study treatment until the date of the first documented progression or death due to any cause. PFS will be assessed based on local investigator assessment per RECIST 1.1.

  8. [Part 2] Overall Survival (OS)

    Time frame: Up to approximately 60 months

    OS is defined as the time from date of first administration of study treatment until date of death due to any cause.

  9. [Part 2] Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR)

    Time frame: Up to approximately 36 months

    CBR is defined as the proportion of participants with a best overall response of confirmed CR, or confirmed PR, or an overall response of confirmed stable disease (SD), lasting for a duration of at least 24 weeks. CR, PR, and SD are defined based on local investigator assessment per RECIST 1.1.

  10. [Part 2] Duration of Response (DOR)

    Time frame: Up to approximately 36 months

    DOR only applies to participants whose best overall response is CR or PR based on local investigator assessment per RECIST 1.1. The start date is the date of first documented response of CR or PR (i.e. the start date of response, not the date when response was confirmed), and the end date is defined as the date of the first documented progression or death due to underlying cancer.
