Overview
Brief Summary
This international, multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study is designed to compare the efficacy and safety of taselisib + fulvestrant with that of placebo + fulvestrant in postmenopausal women with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2)-negative, oncogene that encodes for phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase (PIK3CA)-mutant, unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer after recurrence or progression during or after an aromatase inhibitor (AI) therapy. There will be a 2:1 randomization to the taselisib arm versus the placebo arm. Enrollment will be enriched for participants with PIK3CA mutant tumors via central testing. The anticipated duration of the study is approximately 3.5 years.

Intervention: Taselisib

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
PFS as Assessed by Investigator Using RECIST v1.1 at Final Analysis
Time Frame: From randomization until the first occurrence of disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs earlier (up to approximately 6.2 years)
PFS was defined as the time from randomization to disease progression as determined by the investigator with the use of RECIST v1.1 or death due to any cause, whichever occurred earlier. Disease progression was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study, including baseline. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. For non-target lesions, disease progression was defined as unequivocal progression of existing lesions. The appearance of one or more new lesions was also considered progression.
Progression-Free Survival (PFS) as Assessed by Investigator Using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version 1.1 (v1.1) at Primary Analysis
Time Frame: From randomization until the first occurrence of disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs earlier (up to the 15 Oct 2017 data cutoff, approximately 2.5 years)
