Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Progression-free Survival (PFS)Assessed by Local Investigator's Assessment (Phase ll)
PFS was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the event, defined as the first radiologically documented disease progression or death due to any cause. Progression was defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions.
Every 8 weeks from randomization until disease progression up to 10 months after futility was analyzed
Secondary Outcomes (7)
Overall Survival by Kaplan-Meier Estimate (Phase ll)
every 3 months until death, lost to follow-up, or withdrawal of consent to survival follow-up, up to 10 months after futility was analyzed
Overall Response Rate (Phase ll)
every 8 weeks after randomization Up to 3 months after end of Treatment
Duration of Response (Phase Lll)
every 8 weeks after randomization Up to 3 months after end of Treatment
Time to Response (Phase Lll)
every 8 weeks after randomization Up to 3 months after end of Treatment
Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR) (Phase ll)
every 8 weeks after randomization Up to 3 months after end of Treatment
- +2 more secondary outcomes
Study Arms (2)
BKM120 and paclitaxel
EXPERIMENTALAdult females with histologically confirmed, inoperable, locally advanced or metastatic HER2- BC who received study drug plus paclitaxel.
Placebo and paclitaxel
ACTIVE COMPARATORAdult females with histologically confirmed, inoperable, locally advanced or metastatic HER2- BC who received placebo plus paclitaxel.
Interventions
intravenous paclitaxel 80 mg/m2 per week given until progression
Buparlisib maching plaxcebo were supplied as 100 mg and 50 mg hard gelatin capsules. Buparlisib placebo was dosed on a flat scale of mg/day and was not adjusted to body weight or body surface area.
Buparlisib (BKM120) were supplied as 100 mg and 50 mg hard gelatin capsules. Buparlisib was dosed on a flat scale of mg/day and was not adjusted to body weight or body surface area.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Breast cancer that is locally advanced or metastatic
- HER2 negative disease, and a known hormone receptor status - ER/PgR (common breast cancer classification tests)
- A tumor sample must be shipped to a central lab for identification of biomarkers (PI3K activation status) before randomization
- Adequate bone marrow and organ function
- Measurable or non-measurable disease
You may not qualify if:
- Prior chemotherapy for locally advanced or metastatic disease
- Previous treatment with PI3K or AKT inhibitors
- Patient has symptomatic CNS metastases
- Concurrent malignancy or malignancy within 3 years of study enrollment
- Hematopoietic colony-stimulating growth factors or radiation within 2-4 weeks prior to starting study drug
- Increasing or chronic treatment (\> 5 days) with corticosteroids or another immunosuppressive agent
- Active heart (cardiac) disease as defined in the protocol
- Known hypersensitivity or contraindications to use paclitaxel
- Pregnant or nursing (lactating) woman
- Certain scores on an anxiety and depression mood questionaire given at screening
- Other protocol defined criteria may apply
