Abstract
The phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway is aberrantly activated in most head and neck squamous cell carcinomas, making it a prized target for targeted therapy development. Multiple PI3K inhibitors have been studied in early phase trials, with unfavorable risk-benefit ratios in molecularly unselected patient populations. Buparlisib, a potent pan-class I PI3K inhibitor, shows promising efficacy in combination with paclitaxel for advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Results of the phase III BURAN trial are awaited.
