Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To assess the anti-tumor activity of BYL719 QD plus letrozole and buparlisib QD plus letrozole versus letrozole alone in increasing the pathologic complete response (pCR) rate during neo-adjuvant treatment for each of the two groups: i) PIK3CA mutated and ii) PIK3CA wild tumor types.;Secondary Objective: - objective response rate (RR, complete + partial) for each of the 2 groups, namely i) PIK3CA mutated and ii) PIK3CA wild tumor types. -- safety and tolerability of the combinations for each of the two groups... --estimate rate of breast conserving surgery;Primary end point(s): Pathologic complete response;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: following 24 weeks of treatment

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): --ORR --safety & tolerability --breast conserving surgery --changes in Ki67 --assessment of PEPI score --PK for buparlisib/BYL719 and letrozole;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Along the trial
