Brief Summary
The study will enroll participants 2 months of age up to 30 years of age. The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness and safety of Alpelisib (the "Study Drug") in patients with PIK3CA/TIE-2/TEK pathway driven vascular anomalies (VA). Alpelisib has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treating adults and children with certain types of breast cancer. Its use in this study is considered experimental because FDA has not approved the study drug for treating people with VAs. Study participation will last for up to 3 years and will involve regular study visits to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP)'s Philadelphia Campus. Participants will need to take the study drug Alpelisib for at least 2 years, or up to 3 years in total if there is a positive response. Participating in this research means you will attend up to 16 clinic visits for the purposes of the study. Most visits will take approximately 30 minutes, but some visits will take approximately 2 hours, because you will be asked to complete questionnaires about your experience. Participating in this research also means taking the study drug, having pictures taken, and completing study drug diaries. There is also an optional portion to this study that involves collecting blood for biomarker testing.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (3)
Percentage of subjects with a Substantial Response or Intermediate Response to Alpelisib using an Individualized Response Criteria
Individualized Response is a composite outcome determined by the combined results of the following 3 distinct study assessments after cycle 6: Radiologic evaluation, PROMIS Patient reported outcome (PRO) measurements, and Clinical Benefit Assessments (CBA). The results of these 3 distinct assessments will be evaluated using a set of specific criteria to determine the Individualized Response to treatment (i.e. "Substantial Response" = Improvement in Radiologic assessment by 20%, AND improvement in Global Health PROs by 3T-score points, AND improvement in at least 1 CBA, AND no clinically meaningful worsening of disease). Each subject will be determined to have: 1) Substantial Response, or 2) Intermediate Response, or 3) Stable disease, or 4) Worsening disease. A subject that is found to have a Substantial Response or Intermediate Response is considered to have a "beneficial response." Statistical analyses will be run to determine the percentage of subjects with a beneficial response.
Individualized Response Criteria will be evaluated after 6 cycles (each cycle is 28 days) and then every 6 months until the end of the study (approximately 1.5 years)
Relative size of target lesion(s) as determined by radiologic assessment
\*\*For subjects with radiologically evaluable disease only\*\* The target lesion(s) will be measured at screening using imaging modality of choice based on underlying vascular anomaly (e.g. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Magnetic Resonance Lymphangiography (MRL), US, X-rays, CT scan). MRI or MRL imaging will be recommended as primary imaging modality. For subjects with disease manifestation better characterized by alternative quantitative imaging modality (e.g. X-ray or ultrasound) this may be substituted and used as alternative imaging. Up to 3 lesions will be identified as target lesions and recorded and measured at screening. The same method of assessment and the same technique will be used to characterize each target lesion at the specified follow-up timepoints. CBA can be substituted for radiologic evaluation in subjects without radiologically evaluable disease.
Measured at screening and after cycles 6, 12, and 24. Each cycle is 28 days.
Quality of life as evaluated by PROMIS Patient Reported Outcome (PRO) questionnaire T-scores
Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) questionnaires will be distributed to subjects and caregivers (if applicable.) A raw score will be calculated for each PROMIS subscale. Raw scores will then be translated into a T-score metric with mean of 50 (standard deviation of 10). A higher T-score means more of the outcome being measured. Global health measures will be used as the primary outcome. Change in quality of life will be evaluated and applied to the Individualized Response Criteria using the PROMIS global health T-scores.
Begin at screening and after cycles 6, 12, and 24. If subject enters extension phase, will continue to measure every 6 cycles until end of therapy (approximately 1 year). Each cycle is 28 days.
Study Arms (1)
Main Study
EXPERIMENTALThis arm will determine the proportion of subjects with an objective beneficial response to alpelisib at the end of cycle 6 using an individualized response criterion based on radiologic assessment, Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs) and Clinical Benefit Assessment (CBA). It will also determine the safety of oral trametinib in children and young adults with PIK3CA/TIE-2/TEK pathway driven vascular anomalies through various laboratory testing and clinical observations.
Interventions
Subjects will receive oral alpelisib daily in continuous 28-day cycles. Patients aged 18 years and older will start at 125 mg/day with a maximum dose of 250 mg/day; patients aged 6 - 17 years will start at 50 mg/day with a maximum dose of 200 mg/day. A single dose reduction will be permitted in individual subjects who experience toxicity while still having evidence of clinical benefit and is assessed per the investigator.
