Brief Summary
The study is a nationwide, multicenter single-arm phase 2 study. The current phase 2 study investigates the efficacy of the combination of fulvestrant and alpelisib directly after progression on fulvestrant (either in first or second line, with or without previous use of CDK4/6-inhibitor) in patients with HR+ HER2- advanced breast cancer with PIK3CA mutated tumors. All eligible patients must have progressive disease on fulvestrant as latest treatment line. Previous treatment with a CDK4/6 inhibitor in first or second line is obligatory. After progressive disease is confirmed, it is important to continue fulvestrant (without CDK4/6 inhibition) during the screening period awaiting study enrollment. After study enrollment all participants will be treated with alpelisib and fulvestrant beyond progression. Follow-up time will be until progression or death or until a different oncolytic treatment has started (in case no progressive disease during previous fulvestrant and alpelisib treatment has been documented). Should participants discontinue due to reasons other than progression or death (e.g. toxicity), then they should still be evaluated for disease progression every 8 weeks as per protocol until progression, unless they do not wish to proceed with these screenings, or receive a different oncolytic treatment.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Progression-free survival (PFS)
Defined as time from study enrollment to disease progression or death from any cause, with censoring when fulvestrant and alpelisib are stopped and another treatment is initiated without confirmed disease progression.
From registration to progression, assessed up to 36 months
Secondary Outcomes (4)
'On treatment' Progression-free survival (PFS)
From registration to progression, assessed up to 36 months
Objective Response Rate
From registration to progression, assessed up to 36 months
Clinical Benefit Rate
From registration to progression, assessed up to 36 months
Duration of Response (DoR)
From registration to progression, assessed up to 36 months
Other Outcomes (1)
Determine circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in plasma before and during treatment
At baseline, 2 weeks of treatment, 8 weeks of treatment and every 8 weeks until disease progression. Assessed up to 36 months
Study Arms (1)
Arm A (one-arm study)
EXPERIMENTALAlpelisib plus fulvestrant beyond progression
Interventions
Alpelisib 300mg once daily (may be reduced to 1dd250 or 1dd200mg in case of toxicity)
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Adult women and men (≥ 18 years of age) with proven diagnosis of adenocarcino-ma of the breast withlocoregional recurrent or metastatic disease not amenable to resection or radiation therapy with curative intent andfor whom chemotherapy is not clinically indicated
