Brief summary

This randomized, parallel cohort, two stage, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluated the oral PI3K inhibitor BKM120 in combination with trastuzumab and paclitaxel in HER2-positive, PIK3CA wild-type and PIK3CA mutant primary breast cancer prior to surgery (neo-adjuvant setting).

Detailed description

NeoPHOEBE evaluated the efficacy (as defined by pCR) of BKM120 (an oral PI3K inhibitor) in combination with trastuzumab and paclitaxel in a randomized, placebo-controlled, neo-adjuvant study in women diagnosed with primary breast cancer \>1.5 cm (by US or MRI) with centrally confirmed HER2 overexpression or amplification, who have not previously undergone treatment for invasive breast cancer. Prior to the initiation of paclitaxel, there was a 6-week biologic window with trastuzumab plus BKM120 or placebo only. The study was conducted separately in two cohorts (PIK3CA mutated and PI3K3CA wild-type) using a two-stage approach. Within each cohort patients were randomized into one of the following treatment arms: Arm 1: BKM120 plus trastuzumab for 6 weeks followed by BKM120 and trastuzumab plus weekly paclitaxel for an additional 12 weeks. Arm 2: BKM120 placebo plus trastuzumab for 6 weeks followed by BKM120 placebo plus trastuzumab plus weekly paclitaxel for an additional 12 weeks. After completion of study treatment, patients were to have undergone definitive surgery.

Interventions

DRUGBKM120

Neo-adjuvant BKM120 (oral pan-class I PI3K inhibitor, continuous daily dosing). BKM120 was administered orally 100 mg/day.

DRUGTrastuzumab

Trastuzumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody directed against the extracellular juxtamembrane domain of the HER2 receptor. Administered 4mg/kg i.v. load followed by 2mg/kg i.v. weekly.

DRUGPaclitaxel

Paclitaxel is a cytotoxic agent with proven antitumor activity in a variety of solid tumors. The antitumor activity of paclitaxel is based on tubulin-binding and stabilization of non-functional microtubule bundles, thereby blocking normal mitotic spindle development and subsequent cell division. Administered weekly 80mg/m2 i.v.

DRUGBKM120 Placebo

Neoadjuvant BKM120 placebo Administered orally 100 mg/day.
