Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Proportion of Participants Randomized to Alpelisib With a Confirmed Objective Response by BIRC in Group 1 and Group 2
A responder is defined by achieving a \>=20% reduction from baseline in the sum of target lesion volumes (via BIRC), provided that none of the individual target lesions have a \>=20% increase from baseline and in absence of progression of non target lesions and without new lesions. Confirmation of response requires a subsequent imaging assessment performed at least 4 weeks after the onset of response. Participants who permanently discontinued alpelisib prior to confirmation of response, and participants who received surgery as rescue therapy prior to confirmation of response are considered as non-responders.
Up to 48 weeks
Secondary Outcomes (22)

Study Arms (7)
Adult cohort (group 1)- Alpelisib
EXPERIMENTALDuring double-blind randomized study period (from baseline up to Week 16), adult participants will be randomized to receive alpelisib (125 mg, oral, once daily). After Week 16, participants will continue their active treatment at the same dose level.
Adult cohort (group 1)- Placebo
PLACEBO COMPARATORDuring double-blind randomized study period (from baseline up to Week 16), adult participants will be randomized to receive placebo. After Week 16, participants will be switched to active treatment with alpelisib at the placebo dose level received at the end of the placebo period.
Pediatric cohort (group 2: 6 to 17 years old) -Alpelisib
EXPERIMENTALDuring double-blind randomized study period (from baseline up to Week 16, pediatric participants (6 to 17 years old) will be randomized to receive alpelisib (50 mg, oral, once daily). After Week 16, participants will continue their active treatment at the same dose level.
Pediatric cohort (group 2: 6 to 17 years old)-Placebo
PLACEBO COMPARATORDuring double-blind randomized study period (from baseline up to Week 16), pediatric participants (6 to 17 years old) will be randomized to receive Placebo. After Week 16, participants will be switched to active treatment with alpelisib at the placebo dose level received at the end of the placebo period.
Pediatric cohort (group 3: 0 to 5 years old)- Alpelisib granules
EXPERIMENTALPediatric participants (0 to 5 years old) will receive alpelisib granules formulation with an age-dependent starting dose (\<1 month: 20 mg every other day; 1 to \<6 months: 20 mg daily; 6 to \<2 years: 40 mg daily; 2 to \<6 years: 50 mg daily).
Pediatric cohort (group 4: 2 to 5 years old)- Alpelisib FCT
EXPERIMENTALPediatric participants (2 to 5 years old) will receive 50 mg of alpelisib film-coated tablets (FCT) once daily in an open-label setting.
Pediatric cohort (group 5: 6-17 years old)-Alpelisib FCT
EXPERIMENTALPediatric participants (6 to 17 year old) will receive 125 mg alpelisib film-coated (FCT) once daily, in an open-label setting.
Interventions
Adult participants (group 1) will receive 125 mg of alpelisib oral tablets once daily. Pediatric participants (Group 2: 6 to 17 years old) will receive 50 mg of alpelisib oral tablets once daily. Pediatric participants (Group 4: 2 to 5 years old) will receive 50 mg of alpelisib oral tablets once daily, Pediatric participants (Group 3: 0 to 5 years old) will receive alpelisib granules formulation with an age-dependent starting dose and maximum dose levels ranging from 20 mg every other day to 50 mg once daily. Pediatric participants (Group 5: 6 to 17 years old) will receive 125 mg of alpelisib oral tablets once daily.
Participants will receive matching placebo once daily up to week 16.

- Groups 1, 2, 4, and 5: FCT, or as drinkable suspension when applicable.

- Radiation exposure for PROS treatment purpose within the previous 12 months on those PROS areas, which were expected to qualify for target lesions (except lesion(s) progressing after completion of radiotherapy) at time of informed consent.
- Debulking or other major surgery performed within 3 months at time of informed consent.
- Clinically meaningful bleeding related to PROS: Grade 2 within 14 days or grade 3 and more within 28 days before study treatment start as per CTCAE v4.03.

Patients in Groups 3 and 4 with documented or suspicious pneumonitis or interstitial lung disease based on MRI images at time of informed consent.
- History of acute pancreatitis within 1 year before informed consent or past medical history of chronic pancreatitis at time of informed consent.
- Patients with an established diagnosis of type I diabetes mellitus or uncontrolled type II diabetes mellitus at time of informed consent.
- Known impairment of gastrointestinal (GI) function due to concomitant GI disease that may significantly alter the absorption of the study drug at time of informed consent.
- History of hypersensitivity to any drugs or metabolites of PI3K inhibitor or any of the excipients of alpelisib at time of informed consent.
- Known history of Steven Johnson's syndrome, erythema multiforme or toxic epidermal necrolysis at time of informed consent.
