Abstract

BackgroundApproximately 40% of pts with HR+, HER2– ABC have mutations (mut) in PIK3CA, which encodes α-PI3K and leads to PI3K pathway hyperactivation and potentially ET resistance. ALP is a selective inhibitor of α-PI3K that, in combination with fulvestrant (FUL), significantly improved median progression-free survival (PFS) vs placebo + FUL in pts with PIK3CA-mut, HR+ HER2– ABC in the phase 3 SOLAR-1 trial (11.0 vs 5.7mo, respectively; HR 0.65; 95% CI, 0.50-0.85; P<0.001). BYLieve is an ongoing phase 2, multicenter, open-label, noncomparative study assessing ALP + ET (FUL or letrozole [LET]) in pts with PIK3CA-mut HR+, HER2– ABC who progressed on/after prior treatments (tx). Trial designBYLieve includes women (any menopausal status) and men with PIK3CA-mut, HR+, HER2– ABC and evidence of tumor progression on prior tx. Cohorts A and B comprise pts who received a cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitor (CDK4/6i) + ET as their last tx. With the adoption of Amendment 3, a new cohort (C) enrolls pts who had systemic chemotherapy or ET as last prior tx and who failed aromatase inhibitor (AI) in the adjuvant or metastatic setting. In the advanced setting, ≤2 anticancer tx (including ≤1 chemotherapy) are allowed. Pts must have ≥1 measurable lesion per RECIST criteria or≥1 predominantly lytic bone lesion. Key exclusion criteria include prior PI3Ki tx and type 1 or uncontrolled type 2 diabetes. Study tx comprises: Cohort A (prior CDK 4/6i + AI), ALP 300mg once daily (qd) + FUL 500mg Q28d + C1d15; Cohort B (prior CDK 4/6i + FUL), ALP 300mg qd + LET 2.5mg qd; Cohort C, ALP 300mg qd + FUL 500mg Q28d + C1d15. The primary endpoint is the proportion of pts free of progression at 6mo per local investigator assessment for each cohort. Secondary endpoints include PFS, PFS2, ORR, and CBR. Safety and tolerability will also be assessed, including fasted or random blood glucose levels (non-fasted). Tumor tissue and circulating tumor DNA are collected for biomarker assessments. The study is ongoing and currently recruiting pts, with increase in planned overall enrollment from 160 to 340 pts. Clinical trial identificationNCT03056755.
