Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Percentage of participants with at least one on-treatment adverse events (AEs)
Percentage of participants with at least one on-treatment AEs. An AE is any untoward medical occurrence (an unfavourable/unintended sign - including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease) in a participant. On-treatment period is defined as up to 30 days after last dose of study drug
From start of treatment up to 30 days after last dose of study treatment, assessed up to approximately 7 months
Secondary Outcomes (2)
Percentage of participants with Serious AEs (SAEs)
From start of treatment up to 30 days after last dose of study treatment, assessed up to approximately 7 months
Percentage of participants with Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs)
From start of treatment up to 30 days after last dose of study treatment, assessed up to approximately 7 months
Study Arms (1)
Alpelisib + fulvestrant
EXPERIMENTALAlpelisib 300 mg orally once daily starting on Cycle 1 Day 1 in combination with fulvestrant (intramuscular injection) 500 mg on Cycle 1 Day 1 and Day 15, and Day 1 of every cycle thereafter in a 28 day cycle.
Interventions
Film coated tablet for oral use. Participants will be treated with 300 mg of alpelisib once daily starting on Cycle 1 Day 1
Injection for intramuscular administration. Participants will be treated with fulvestrant 500 mg on Cycle 1 Day 1 and Day 15, and Day 1 of every cycle thereafter in a 28-day cycle.

- Participant ineligible for endocrine therapy per the investigator's judgment
- Participant has received prior treatment with any PI3K inhibitors and / or mTOR inhibitor
- Participant has a concurrent malignancy or malignancy within 3 years of study screening period, with the exception of adequately treated, basal or squamous cell carcinoma, non-melanomatous skin cancer or curatively resected cervical cancer
- Participant has not recovered to grade 1 or better from related side effects of prior anti cancer therapy (with the exception of alopecia)
- Participants receiving concomitant immunosuppressive agents or chronic corticosteroids use at the time of study entry except in cases outlined below: Topical applications, inhaled sprays, eye drops or local injections are allowed. Participants on stable low dose of corticosteroids for at least two weeks prior to enrollment are allowed
- Bilateral diffuse lymphangitic carcinomatosis
- Participants with a known history of HIV seropositivity. Screening for HIV infection at baseline is not required
- Active, bleeding diathesis, or on oral anti-vitamin K medication (except low dose warfarin and acetylsalicylic acid or equivalent, as long as the INR is ≤2.0)
- Any severe and/ or uncontrolled medical conditions
- Participant with severe liver impairment (Child Pugh score B/C)
- Participant has impairment of gastrointestinal (GI) function or GI disease that may significantly alter the absorption of the study drugs
- Participant has any other concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled medical condition that would, in the investigator's judgment, contraindicate patient participation in the clinical study
