significant gastrointestinal abnormalities that may alter drug absorption, such as
malabsorption syndrome or major resection of the stomach or bowels.

existing therapies known to provide clinical benefit for their condition.

Exclusion Criteria:
- Patient has a known hypersensitivity to any of the excipients of BYL719 and/or
enzalutamide.

tumor involvement or active leptomeningeal disease.

(e.g., prior cortical stroke, significant brain trauma) at any time in the past and/or
a history of loss of consciousness or transient ischemic attack within 12 months of
the cycle 1, day 1 visit.

treatment, except for cured basal cell carcinoma of the skin or excised carcinoma in
situ of the cervix.

- Patient has participated in a prior investigational study within 3 weeks prior to
initiating study drug.
- Patient has completed radiotherapy within 2 weeks prior to treatment initiation.
- Patient has any serious and/or unstable pre-existing medical disorder (aside from
malignancy exception above), psychiatric disorder, or other conditions that could
interfere with patient's safety, provision of informed consent, or compliance with the
study procedures.
- Patient has known clinically significant cardiac disease or impaired cardiac function,
such as:
- Congestive heart failure requiring treatment (New York Heart Association grade >=
2), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 50% as determined by multigated
acquisition (MUGA) scan or ECHO.
- History or current evidence of clinically significant cardiac arrhythmias, atrial
fibrillation, and/or conduction abnormality, e.g., congenital long QT syndrome,
high-grade/complete arteriovenous blockage.
- Acute coronary syndromes (including myocardial infarction, unstable angina,
coronary artery bypass graft, coronary angioplasty, or stenting) < 3 months prior
to screening.
- Patient has a QT interval adjusted by the Fridericia formula (QTcF) > 480 msec on
screening electrocardiogram (ECG).
- Patient is currently receiving medication with a known risk of prolonging the QT
interval or inducing torsades de pointes (TdP) and whose treatment cannot be either
discontinued or switched to a different medication prior to starting treatment with
the study drug.
- Patient has any prior use of PI3K inhibitors.
- Patient has any prior use of anti-androgen therapies.
- Patient is currently receiving warfarin or other Coumarin-derived anticoagulant for
treatment, prophylaxis, or other reasons. Therapy with heparin, low molecular weight
heparin, or fondaparinux is allowed.
- Patient is currently receiving treatment with drugs known to be strong inhibitors or
inducers of isoenzymes CYP3A or CYP2C8. The patient must have discontinued strong
inducers for at least 1 week and must have discontinued strong inhibitors before the
start of the study treatment. Switching to a different medication prior to initiation
of the trial treatment is allowed.
- Patient has impaired gastrointestinal (GI) function or GI disease that may
significantly alter the absorption of oral BYL719 (e.g., ulcerative disease,
uncontrolled nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, malabsorption syndrome, or small bowel
resection).
- Patient has known positive serology for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
- Patient has any other condition that would, in the investigators' judgment, preclude
the patient's participation in the clinical study due to concerns about safety or
compliance with clinical study procedures; e.g., infection/inflammation, intestinal
obstruction, inability to swallow oral medication, social/psychological complications.
- Patient has a history of noncompliance to medical regimens or is unable to grant
consent.
- Female patients of childbearing potential have positive urine or serum pregnancy test
no more than 7 days prior to starting study drug.
- Female patients of childbearing potential are not willing to use highly effective
contraception to prevent pregnancy or agree to abstain from heterosexual activity
throughout the study. Highly effective contraception is defined as:
- Surgical birth control/sterilization (such as male vasectomy or female
sterilization).
- Birth control pills, injections, implants, or patches.
- Intrauterine devices (IUDs).
- Two barrier methods (male condom and female diaphragm, cervical cap, or sponge)
in combination with a spermicide.
- Highly effective contraception must be used by both sexes during the study and
must be continued for 6 months after the last dose of study treatment. (Women of
not childbearing potential: post-menopausal [age > 55 years with cessation of
menses > 12 months or < 55 years but not spontaneous menses for at least 2 years
or < 55 years and spontaneous menses within the past 1 year, but currently
amenorrheic (e.g., spontaneous or secondary to hysterectomy), and with
postmenopausal gonadotropin levels (luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating
hormone levels > 40 IU/L) or postmenopausal estradiol levels (< 5 ng/dL) or
according to the definition of "postmenopausal range" for the laboratory
involved] or who have had a hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, or bilateral
oophorectomy).
