-Adults of reproductive potential must be able and agree to use appropriate
contraception. Double barrier contraceptives must be used throughout the trial by both
sexes..
- Women of child-bearing potential, defined as all women physiologically capable of
becoming pregnant, must use highly effective contraception during the study. Women
assigned to ARMS AC and D must use highly effective contraception for 16 weeks after
stopping treatment. Women assigned to ARM A must continue contraceptive measures for 4
weeks after stopping treatment. Women assigned to ARM B must continue contraceptive
measures for 5 weeks after stopping treatment. The highly effective contraception is
defined as either:
- True abstinence: When this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of
the subject. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal,
post-ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of
contraception.
- Sterilization: have had surgical bilateral oophorectomy (with or without
hysterectomy) or tubal ligation at least six weeks ago. In case of oophorectomy
alone, only when the reproductive status of the woman has been confirmed by
follow up hormone level assessment.
- Male partner sterilization (with the appropriate post-vasectomy documentation of
the absence of sperm in the ejaculate). For female subjects on the study, the
vasectomized male partner should be the sole partner for that patient.
- Use of a combination of any two of the following (a+b):
1. Placement of an intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS)
2. Barrier methods of contraception: Condom or Occlusive cap (diaphragm or
cervical/vault caps) with spermicidal foam/gel /film/cream/vaginal
suppository
- For ARMs A, C and D, oral contraception (OC), injected or implanted hormonal methods
are not allowed as BKM120 and potentially decreases the effectiveness of hormonal
contraceptives. For ARM B, oral contraceptives, injected or implanted hormonal methods
are not allowed as the sole method of contraception, as BYL719 has not been
characterized with respect to its potential to interfere with the PK and/or the
effectiveness of OCs.
- Recovered from all reversible toxicities related to their previous treatment
(other than alopecia) to =grade 1 or baseline

number 9 regarding potential for suicidal thoughts in the PHQ-9 (independent of
the total score of the PHQ-9) will be excluded from the study unless overruled by
the psychiatric assessment
