Abstract

Background: Inavolisib is a potent and selective PI3Kα inhibitor that promotes degradation of mutated p110α. We report safety from a phase I/Ib dose-escalation/-expansion study (GO39374; NCT03006172) of inavolisib alone or in combination therapies in PIK3CA-mutated, hormone receptor (HR)-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer.

Patients and methods: Patients received inavolisib [oral once daily (od)] alone, with letrozole (2.5 mg od) or fulvestrant (500 mg intramuscularly 4 weekly) ± palbociclib (125 mg od for 21/28 days); metformin was included in one arm.

Primary endpoint: safety and tolerability.

Results: At data cutoff (1 January 2024), 190 patients had been treated, of which 179 (94.2%) had discontinued study treatment, mainly due to progressive disease [146 (76.8%)]. Treatment-related any-grade and grade 3-5 adverse events (AEs) occurred in 181 (95.3%) and 107 (56.3%) patients, respectively. Inavolisib-related AEs led to inavolisib withdrawal in 5 (2.6%) and dose reductions/interruptions in 103 (54.2%) patients. Hyperglycemia, diarrhea, stomatitis (grouped terms), and rash (grouped terms) occurred in 129 (67.9%), 124 (65.3%), 93 (48.9%), and 47 (24.7%) patients, respectively. Hyperglycemia, diarrhea, and stomatitis mainly occurred early in treatment, and were manageable with supportive measures (including oral antihyperglycemic agents, common antidiarrheal medications, and dexamethasone mouthwash, respectively) and/or inavolisib dose modifications (dose…

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a clinical trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 190 participants or records.
