About this study
In plain language
This study tests how well inavolisib works and how safe it is when added to a CDK4/6 inhibitor and letrozole as the first treatment for advanced breast cancer. It compares this with a placebo (no active drug) plus the same two medicines. It is for people whose cancer responds to hormone treatment, has a PIK3CA gene change, is hormone receptor-positive, and is HER2-negative.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination of inavolisib plus a cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 inhibitor (CDK4/6i) and letrozole versus placebo plus a CDK4/6i and letrozole in the first-line setting in participants with endocrine-sensitive PIK3CA-mutated hormone receptor-positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-), advanced breast cancer (ABC).
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
Eligibility
Who can join
- Women or men with breast cancer confirmed by a tissue or cell test.
- Cancer must be hormone receptor-positive (uses hormones to grow) and HER2-negative (does not have high levels of the HER2 protein). If cancer is in both breasts, both must meet these rules.
- Cancer was advanced when first found, or came back after at least 2 years of hormone treatment before or after surgery. For cancer that came back, it must not have worsened during that treatment and must have stayed away for at least 1 year after treatment ended.
- Tests must confirm the required cancer marker, including the PIK3CA gene change.
- Must agree to provide a new or stored tumor tissue sample.
- Cancer must be measurable using the study's rules.
- Must be fully active or able to do light work despite limits on hard physical activity.
- Blood counts and organ function must meet study requirements within 14 days before treatment starts.
Who can't join
- Pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning pregnancy during the study or while birth control is required.
- Metaplastic breast cancer, a specific type of breast cancer; or past whole-body drug treatment for breast cancer that has spread or cannot be removed by surgery.
- Any history of type 1 diabetes, or type 2 diabetes that needs ongoing medicine when joining.
- Any history of cancer in the lining around the brain or spinal cord; or known untreated or active cancer spread to the brain or spinal cord. Previously treated spread may be allowed.
- Current inflammation or infection in either eye; or past inflammation inside the eye with no known cause or caused by the immune system.
- Active lung disease causing symptoms; any history of inflammatory bowel disease; or any current bowel inflammation.
- Past blood stem cell or bone marrow transplant.
- Recent use of medicines that strongly block or speed up CYP3A4, a protein that breaks down drugs. The listed waiting period is 4 weeks or 5 drug half-lives (a measure of how long a drug stays in the body).
Simplified for readability. The official criteria below are what the study team uses.
Official eligibility criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Women or men with histologically or cytologically confirmed carcinoma of the breast * Documented ER-positive and/or progesterone receptor-positive tumor according to American Society of Clinical Oncology/College of American Pathologists (ASCO/CAP) guidelines * Documented HER2-negative tumor according to ASCO/CAP guidelines * De-novo HR+ , HER2- ABC, or, alternatively, relapsed HR+ , HER2- ABC after at least 2 years of standard neoadjuvant/adjuvant endocrine therapy without disease progression during that treatment and disease-free interval of at least 1 year since the completion of that treatment * Participants who have bilateral breast cancers which are both HR-positive and HER2-negative * Confirmation of biomarker eligibility * Consent to provide fresh or archival tumor tissue specimen * Measurable disease per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1) * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0 or 1 * Adequate hematologic and organ function within 14 days prior to initiation of study treatment Exclusion Criteria: * Pregnant or breastfeeding, or intention of becoming pregnant during the study or within the time frame in which contraception is required * Metaplastic breast cancer * Any prior systemic therapy for locally advanced unresectable or metastatic breast cancer * Type 2 diabetes requiring ongoing systemic treatment at the time of study entry; or any history of Type 1 diabetes * Any history of leptomeningeal disease or carcinomatous meningitis * Known and untreated, or active CNS metastases. Participants with a history of treated CNS metastases are eligible * Active inflammatory or infectious conditions in either eye or history of idiopathic or autoimmune-associated uveitis in either eye * Symptomatic active lung disease * History of or active inflammatory bowel disease * Any active bowel inflammation * Prior hematopoietic stem cell or bone marrow transplantation * Treatment with strong cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 inhibitors or strong CYP3A4 inducers within 4 weeks or 5 drug-elimination half-lives, prior to initiation of study treatment
