- Locally recurrent resectable breast cancer.
- Any kind of malabsorption syndrome significantly affecting gastrointestinal function.
- Concurrent anti-cancer therapy (chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery, immunotherapy, hormonal therapy, biologic therapy) other than the ones specified in the protocol. Patients must have discontinued the above cancer therapies for 1 week prior to the first dose of study medication, as well as recovered from toxicity (to </= than grade 1, except for alopecia) induced by previous treatments. Any investigational drugs should be discontinued 2 weeks prior to the first dose of study medication.
- Prior therapy with a PI3K specific inhibitor. Prior use of Akt or mTOR inhibitors are allowed.
- Use of any of the drugs (prohibited concomitant medications)

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Maximum Tolerated Dose of BKM120 or BEZ235 given in combination with endocrine therapy at 4 weeks The maximum tolerated dose for each of the arms will be defined as the highest dose tested in which a DLT is experienced by 0 out of 3 or 1 out of 6 patients among the dose levels. The first cohort of patients (3 patients) in each arm will be started at dose level 1, and each patient will be observed for 4 weeks on the specified dose.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Number of Patients with Progression-free survival (PFS) 4 weeks after off-treatment date The overall PFS data will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method with the 95% confidence interval. The Cox proportional hazards model will be applied to investigate potential prognostic factors, such as disease free interval after completion of adjuvant endocrine therapy on the time to event data. The adjusted p-values as well as the adjusted 95% confidence intervals from the Cox model will be reported.
Response Rate (RR) 4 weeks after off-treament date All of the patients who met the eligibility criteria (with the possible exception of those who received no study medication) should be included in the main analysis of the response rate.
