NCT01633060

Brief Summary

This study was a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase III study to determine the efficacy and safety of treatment with Buparlisib plus Fulvestrant vs. Placebo plus Fulvestrant in postmenopausal women with hormone Receptor-positive (HR-positive), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-negative), aromatase inhibitor (AI)-treated, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer whose disease progressed on or after mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor (mTORi)-based treatment. Patients were randomized in 2:1 ratio to treatment with buparlisib 100 mg daily in combination with fulvestrant 500 mg or placebo daily in combination with fulvestrant 500 mg. Randomization was stratified according to visceral disease status (present or absent).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Progression Free Survival (PFS) Based on Local Investigator Assessment - Full Analysis Set (FAS)

    Progression Free Survival (PFS) is defined as the time from date of randomization to the date of first radiologically documented progression or death due to any cause. If a patient did not progress or die at the time of the analysis data cut-off or start of new antineoplastic therapy, PFS was censored at the date of the last adequate tumor assessment before the earliest of the cut-off date or the start date of additional anti-neoplastic therapy. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria RECIST v1.1, as 20% increase in the sum of diameter of all measured target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum of diameter of all target lesions recorded at or after baseline and/or unequivocal progression of the non-target lesions and/or appearance of a new lesion. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. Patients were followed up for approximately every 6 weeks after randomization.

    Every 6 weeks after randomization up to a maximum of 4 years

Secondary Outcomes (10)

  • Overall Survival (OS) - Full Analysis Set (FAS)

    Every 6 weeks after randomization up to a maximum of 5 years

  • Progression Free Survival (PFS) by PIK3CA Mutational Status

    Every 6 weeks after randomization up to a maximum of 5 years

  • Overall Survival (OS) by PIK3CA Mutational Status

    Every 6 weeks after randomization up to a maximum of 5 years

  • Overall Response Rate (ORR) by PIK3CA Mutational Status

    Every 6 weeks after randomization up to a maximum of 5 years

  • Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR) by PIK3CA Mutational Status

    Week 14, Week 24

  • +5 more secondary outcomes
