A clinical study to investigate the therapeutic benefit and safety of combining alpelisib and fulvestrant in the treatment of men and postmenopausal women with advanced breast cancer whose disease came back while on or after treatment with an aromatase inhibitor

SOLAR-1: A phase III randomized double-blind, placebo controlled study of alpelisib in combination with fulvestrant for men and postmenopausal women with hormone receptor positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer which progressed on or after aromatase inhibitor treatment - SOLAR-1

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To determine whether treatment with alpelisib in combination with fulvestrant prolongs PFS compared to treatment with placebo in combination with fulvestrant for patients with PIK3CA mutant status;Secondary Objective: To determine whether treatment with alpelisib in combination with fulvestrant prolongs overall survival (OS) compared to treatment with placebo in combination with fulvestrant for patients with PIK3CA mutant status To establish proof of concept of treatment benefit with alpelisib in combination with fulvestrant with respect to PFS for patients with PIK3CA non-mutant status To evaluate the two treatment arms with respect to OS for patients with PIK3CA non-mutant status To evaluate the two treatment arms and cohorts of interest with respect to overall response rate (ORR) and clinical benefit rate Further secondary objectives and details are described in the protocol ;Primary end point(s): PFS based on local radiology assessments and using RECIST 1.1 criteria in the PIK3CA mutant cohort;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: At screening/baseline, every 8 weeks after randomization during the first 18 months and every 12 weeks until 36 months, then change to as clinically indicated

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): PFS based on local radiology assessments and using RECIST 1.1 criteria in the PIK3CA non-mutant cohort OS in each of the PIK3CA mutant and non-mutant cohorts ORR and CBR in each of the PIK3CA mutant and non-mutant cohorts Further secondary endpoints are described in the protocol;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: At screening/baseline, every 8 weeks after randomization during the first 18 months and every 12 weeks until 36 months, then change to as clinically indicated
