Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: - Subject has histologically-confirmed HER2-positive breast cancer that is advanced (loco-regionally not amenable to surgery t or metastatic). - Subject has received pre-study induction therapy with up to and including a maximum of 8 cycles of a taxane (docetaxel, paclitaxel, or nab-paclitaxel), plus trastuzumab and pertuzumab. 4 or 5 cycles of taxane is permitted if discontinuation was due to toxicity - Subject has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 or 1 - Subject has adequate bone marrow and organ function - Applies only to Part 2: Subject has a PIK3CA mutation(s) present in tumor tissue prior to enrollment, as determined by a Novartis designated central laboratory. Are the trial subjects under 18? no Number of subjects for this age range: F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 368 F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 158

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: - Subject with inflammatory breast cancer at screening. - Subject with evidence of disease progression during or following the pre-study induction therapy and prior to first dose of alpelisib (or alpelisib/alpelisib matching-placebo for Part 2) - Subject with an established diagnosis of diabetes mellitus type I or not controlled type II based on FPG and HbA1c - Subject has a known history of acute pancreatitis within 1 year of screening or past medical history of chronic pancreatitis - Subject has clinically significant, uncontrolled heart disease and/or recent cardiac events - Subject has a history of Steven-Johnson Syndrome (SJS), erythema multiforme (EM) or Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN). - Subject has currently documented pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease For Part 2 only: subject has known rare hereditary problems of galactose intolerance, the Lapp lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption, due to the excipient in the placebo tablet

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Safety run-in Part 1: To confirm the recommended phase 3 dose of alpelisib in combination with trastuzumab and pertuzumab Double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled Part 2: To determine whether treatment with alpelisib in combination with trastuzumab and pertuzumab prolongs PFS compared to placebo in combination with trastuzumab and pertuzumab in adult patients with HER2-positive advanced breast cancer with a PIK3CA mutation ;Secondary Objective: Safety run-in Part 1: - To determine the safety and tolerability of alpelisib in combination with trastuzumab and pertuzumab - To characterize exposure of alpelisib when administered in combination with trastuzumab and pertuzumab Double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled Part 2: - To determine whether treatment with alpelisib in combination with trastuzumab and pertuzumab prolongs OS in adult patients with HER2-positive advanced breast cancer with a PIK3CA mutation - To assess safety and efficacy - To characterize exposure of alpelisib, when administered in combination with trastuzumab and pertuzumab - To evaluate PROs of alpelisib in combination with trastuzumab and pertuzumab - To evaluate the association between PIK3CA mutation status as measured in ctDNA at baseline with PFS upon treatment with alpelisib - To evaluate alpelisib in combination with trastuzumab and pertuzumab with respect to time to deterioration of ECOG performance status;Primary end point(s): Part 1: Incidence of DLTs during the first 6 weeks of treatment for each dose level associated with administration of alpelisib in combination with trastuzumab and pertuzumab Part 2: PFS based on Investigator assessment using RECIST 1.1 criteria;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Part 1: 6 weeks Part 2: up to approximately 38 months

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Part 1: To determine the safety and tolerability of alpelisib in combination with trastuzumab and pertuzumab Part 2: To determine whether treatment with alpelisib in combination with trastuzumab and pertuzumab prolongs OS compared to placebo in combination with trastuzumab and pertuzumab in adult patients with HER2-positive advanced breast cancer with a PIK3CA mutation;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Part 1: up to approximately 38 months Part 2: up to approximately 70 months
