SOLAR-1 is a double-blind, placebo‑controlled, multicenter phase 3 study in men and postmenopausal women with HR+/HER2- advanced or metastatic breast cancer with or without a PIK3CA mutation whose disease had progressed or recurred on or after AI-based treatment (N=572). In the PIK3CA mutation cohort (n=341), patients were randomized 1:1 to receive PIQRAY 300-mg tablets orally once daily + fulvestrant 500 mg IM (n=169)* or placebo + fulvestrant 500 mg IM (n=172).* The primary endpoint was PFS in patients with a PIK3CA mutation by investigator assessment per RECIST v1.1. See full study design.

*Fulvestrant given on day 1 and day 15 of the first 28-day cycle, then day 1 of subsequent 28-day cycles.
AI, aromatase inhibitor; IM, intramuscularly.

PIQRAY + fulvestrant nearly doubled mPFS in patients with a PIK3CA driver mutation1

PIQRAY + fulvestrant median progression free survival
  • At the pre-specified final OS analysis, there was no significant difference in OS between the PIQRAY plus fulvestrant arm and the placebo plus fulvestrant arm (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.86, 95% CI: 0.64, 1.15).1

After one line of CDK4/6 inhibitor + ET, offer alpelisib (PIQRAY®) + fulvestrant3,4*

Category 1 preferred option recommended by NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines®) for postmenopausal women and men with metastatic HR+/HER2- PIK3CA-mutated tumors4

*Unless a recurrence or unmanageable toxicity occurs, per HR+/HER2- MBC American Society of Clinical Oncology® Guideline Update 2021.

Highlights of Important Safety Information 

PIQRAY is contraindicated in patients with severe hypersensitivity to it or any of its components.

Serious adverse reactions include severe hypersensitivity, severe cutaneous adverse reactions, hyperglycemia, pneumonitis, diarrhea or colitis, and embryo-fetal toxicity.

Most common adverse reactions including laboratory abnormalities (all grades, incidence ≥20%) were glucose increased, creatinine increased, diarrhea, rash, lymphocyte count decreased, gamma-glutamyl transferase increased, nausea, alanine aminotransferase increased, fatigue, hemoglobin decreased, lipase increased, decreased appetite, stomatitis, vomiting, weight decreased, calcium decreased, glucose decreased, activated partial thromboplastin time prolonged, and alopecia.

Consistent PFS was seen across subgroups, including those with prior CDK4/6 inhibitor + AI or primary/secondary endocrine resistance5

PFS in select patient subgroups with a PIK3CA mutation5
PFS in select patient subgroups with a PIK3CA mutation

 

The data are from prespecified subgroup analyses of the primary endpoint (mPFS) in SOLAR-1 and are not powered to detect statistical significance.

aIn the SOLAR-1 study, first line was defined as patients whose disease progressed ≤1 year after (neo)adjuvant ET or whose disease progressed >1 year after (neo)adjuvant ET, and who did not receive prior treatment for aBC. Second line was defined as patients whose disease progressed >1 year after (neo)adjuvant ET and while on or after one line of ET for aBC or patients with newly diagnosed aBC whose disease progressed while on or after one line of ET.
bIn the SOLAR-1 study, primary endocrine resistance was defined as relapse within 24 months on adjuvant ET or progression within 6 months on ET for advanced disease. Secondary endocrine resistance was defined as relapse after 24 months on adjuvant ET, relapse within 12 months of the end of adjuvant ET, or progression after 6 months on ET for advanced disease. Endocrine sensitive was defined as relapse ≥12 months after completion of ET in the adjuvant setting.
AI, aromatase inhibitor; CDK, cyclin D–dependent kinase; ET, endocrine therapy; mPFS, median progression-free survival; PFS, progression-free survival.

PIQRAY + fulvestrant more than doubled the response rate in patients with a PIK3CA driver mutation1

Overall response rate (ORR) in patients who had measurable disease1
PIQRAY + fulvestrant overall response rate

ORR was defined as the percentage of subjects with confirmed complete response or partial response. Measurable disease was defined as the presence of at least one measurable nodal or non-nodal lesion as per RECIST v1.1 criteria.

Important Safety Information

PIQRAY is contraindicated in patients with severe hypersensitivity to it or any of its components.

Severe Hypersensitivity: Severe hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis and anaphylactic shock, can occur in patients treated with PIQRAY. Severe hypersensitivity reactions were manifested by symptoms, including, but not limited to, dyspnea, flushing, rash, fever, or tachycardia...

Indication

PIQRAY® (alpelisib) tablets is indicated in combination with fulvestrant for the treatment of adults with hormone receptor (HR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative, PIK3CA-mutated, advanced or metastatic breast cancer as detected by an FDA-approved test following progression on or after an endocrine-based regimen...
