Advanced Breast Cancer clinical trials for Triple negative
This study will determine whether treatment with alpelisib in combination with abraxane is safe and effective in subjects with advanced triple negative breast cancer (aTNBC) who carry either a PIK3CA mutation or have PTEN loss without PIK3CA mutation.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment with alpelisib in combination with abraxane is safe and effective in subjects with advanced triple negative breast cancer (aTNBC) who carry either a PIK3CA mutation (Study Part A) or have PTEN loss without PIK3CA mutation (Study Parts B1 and B2)
Who is it for?
You may be eligible for this study if you meet the below criteria:
- Subject has histologically confirmed diagnosis of advanced (loco-regionally recurrent and not amenable to curative therapy, or metastatic (stage IV)) TNBC.
- Subject has either a measurable disease per RECIST 1.1 criteria or, if no measurable disease is present, then at least one predominantly lytic bone lesion or mixed lytic-blastic bone lesion with identifiable soft tissue component (that can be evaluated by CT/MRI) must be present Part B1: patients must have measurable disease.
- Subject has adequate tumor tissue to identify the PIK3CA mutation status (either carrying a mutation or without a mutation) and the PTEN loss status; both of which will determine whether the subject can be allocated to Part A - PIK3CA mutation regardless of PTEN status; or to Part B - PTEN loss without a PIK3CA mutation.
- Subject has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1.
- Subject has received no more than one line of therapy for metastatic disease.
- Subject has adequate bone marrow and organ function.
