Name	Time	Method
Main Objective: To assess the treatment effect of BKM120 once daily plus weekly paclitaxel versus BKM120 matching placebo once daily plus weekly paclitaxel on progression-free survival (PFS) ;Secondary Objective: To evaluate BKM120 once daily plus weekly paclitaxel versus BKM120 matching placebo once daily plus weekly paclitaxel with respect to <br>•Overall survival (OS)<br>•Overall response rate (ORR)<br>•Duration of response (DOR)<br>•Time to response<br>•Clinical benefit rate <br>•Safety<br>•To characterize the pharmacokinetics of BKM120 given in combination with paclitaxel<br>;Primary end point(s): PFS in the PI3K pathway activated sub-population and full population.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: When a total of 125 PFS events have occurred (about 18-22 months); Estimated average 6-9 months for each patient.
