- Lead Sponsor
- Novartis Pharmaceuticals
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to complement Study CBYL719C2301 (SOLAR-1) and obtain more comprehensive data on the efficacy and safety of alpelisib (BYL719) in combination with fulvestrant compared with placebo plus fulvestrant in men or postmenopausal women with HR-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer with a PIK3CA mutation who progressed or relapsed on or after treatment with an AI plus a CDK4/6 inhibitor.
- Detailed Description
This is a Phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, international, multi-center trial. Approximately 234 men and postmenopausal women will be randomized to either alpelisib plus fulvestrant or alpelisib-matching placebo plus fulvestrant. Randomization will follow a 1:1 randomization ratio and be stratified by presence of lung and/or liver metastases (yes vs. no) and setting at last prior CDK4/6 inhibitor therapy (adjuvant vs metastatic).
Study treatment with alpelisib plus fulvestrant or alpelisib-matching placebo plus fulvestrant will be initiated on Cycle 1 Day 1, and will continue until disease progression per RECIST v1.1 as per BIRC assessment, start of new antineoplastic therapy, death, lost to follow-up, or withdrawal of consent. A cycle is defined as 28 days.
Participants randomized to the alpelisib-matching placebo plus fulvestrant arm who have disease progression per RECIST v1.1 as assessed by BIRC will have the option to crossover to be treated with alpelisib plus fulvestrant.
Unblinding a single participant at a site will be permitted after disease progression confirmed by BIRC after discussion with the Novartis team to determine eligibility for cross-over to treatment with alpelisib plus fulvestrant.

- Participant has recurrence or progression of disease during or after combined AI (i.e. letrozole, anastrozole, exemestane) and CDK4/6 inhibitor therapy. The combined AI and CDK4/6 inhibitor therapy does not need to be the latest treatment regimen (including adjuvant setting).
- Participant has received ≤2 prior lines of systemic therapies overall in the metastatic setting, of which a maximum of 1 line of prior treatment with chemotherapy (except for neoadjuvant/ adjuvant chemotherapy).
- Participant must show the presence of a PIK3CA mutation(s) determined in tumor tissue prior ro enrollment either by a Novartis designated laboratory or in tumor tissue or plasma ctDNA by a local laboratory using a Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved PIK3CA Companion Diagnostics (CDx) test for alpelisib or the CE-IVD QIAGEN Therascreen® PIK3CA RGQ PCR test.
- Participant with symptomatic visceral disease that makes the participant ineligible for endocrine therapy (ET) per the investigator's best judgment.
- Participant who relapsed with documented evidence of progression more than 12 months from completion of (neo)adjuvant endocrine/endocrine-based therapy with no treatment for metastatic disease
- Participant has received prior treatment with fulvestrant, any oral selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERDs), any Phosphatidylinositol-3-Kinase (PI3K), mammalian Target of Rapamycin (mTOR) or Protein Kinase B (AKT) inhibitor

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Progression-free survival (PFS) based on BIRC assessments and using RECIST v1.1 criteria From randomization to date of the first documented progression or death due to any cause, assessed up to a maximum duration of 60 months. To determine whether treatment with alpelisib plus fulvestrant prolongs progression-free survival (PFS) compared to treatment with placebo plus fulvestrant. PFS is the defined as the time from randomization to date of randomization to the date of the first documented progression as per BIRC criteria using RECIST v1.1 or death due to any cause, whichever comes first.

The questionnaire contains 30 items and is composed of both multi-item scales and single-item measures based on the patient's experience over the past week. This includes 5 functional scales, 3 symptom scales, 6 single items and a global health status/QoL scale. The scales and single-item measures range in score from 0 - 100. A high scale score represents a higher response level.

Change from baseline in the domain scores, health states, overall health status, and index values at the time of each assessment. EORTC QLQ-C30 is a questionnaire to assess the quality of life of cancer patients. The questionnaire contains 30 items and is composed of both multi-item scales and single-item measures based on the patient's experience over the past week. This includes 5 functional scales, 3 symptom scales, 6 single items and a global health status/QoL scale. The scales and single-item measures range in score from 0 - 100.
