INAVO121: This study is comparing two different targeted therapies when they are given with hormone therapy in people with HR+, HER2-, PIK3CA-mutated, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer who have had prior therapyA Phase III, Multicenter, Randomized, Open-Label Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Inavolisib Plus Fulvestrant Versus Alpelisib Plus Fulvestrant in Patients With Hormone Receptor-Positive, HER2-Negative, PIK3CA Mutated, Locally Advanced or Metastatic Breast Cancer Who Progressed During or After CDK4/6 Inhibitor and Endocrine Combination Therapy

Clinical summary

Summary

Eligible participants will be randomly allocated to one of two treatment arms. Treatment cycles are 28-days in length.

In Arm A (Experimental), participants will receive Inavolisib targeted therapy plus Fulvestrant hormone therapy. Inavolisib will be given as an oral tablet once daily, while Fulvestrant will be given on Days 1 and 15 Cycle 1 and then on Day 1 of each subsequent cycle.

In Arm B (Active Comparator), participants will receive Alpelisib targeted therapy plus Fulvestrant hormone therapy. Alpelisib will be given as an oral tablet once day, while Fulvestrant will be given on DAys 1 and 15 of Cycle 1 and then on Day 1 of each subsequent cycle.
