Clinical Trial Summary

This is a prospective Phase II multi-center study with an upfront 16-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled period, and extension periods, to assess the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of alpelisib in pediatric and adult participants with PIK3CA-related overgrowth spectrum (PROS).

Description:

This study consists of a screening period of up to 42 days, core period of 24 weeks, extension period of 24 weeks and long-term extension period of up to approximately 5 years. The study will enroll adult participants (Group 1), 6-17 years old pediatric participants (Group 2), two exploratory sets of 2-5 years old pediatric participants (Group 3 treated with granules and Group 4 treated with film-coated tablets (FCT)) ) and an exploratory group of 6 to 17 years old pediatric participants (Group 5; treated with FCT [at a higher starting dose than Group 2]). Eligible participants aged ≥6 years old will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to alpelisib or matching placebo. Both age groups (group 1 and group 2) will be enrolled in the study in parallel. In the core period, participants will receive treatment in blinded fashion, with an upfront 16-week placebo-controlled period. After Week 16 those participants who were randomized to receive placebo will be switched to active treatment with alpelisib. Those participants who were randomized to receive alpelisib will continue their active treatment. Participants in Group 4 will be enrolled before Group 3. Group 5 will be open to enrollment after enrollment of Group 2 has been completed. All participants will receive alpelisib in an open-label setting. Group 3 will be enrolled later, after the completion of the primary analysis when the efficacy, safety and PK data will be available from the participants in Groups 1 and 2 in addition to the data from Group 4 and 5 as available, in order to select the recommended dose for participants in Group 3. The planned duration of alpelisib treatment in the study will be up to 5 years after randomization/treatment start for all age groups. Participant may be discontinued from treatment with alpelisib earlier due to unacceptable toxicity, confirmed disease progression, death, and/or any other reason at the discretion of the investigator or the participant.

Change from baseline in scores at Week 16 will be assessed in adult (= 18 years old) and pediatric (12 to 17 years old) populations.	Baseline to Week 16
Secondary	Change from baseline to Week 16 in Patient Global Impression of Symptom Severity (PGIS) in Group 1 and 2	The PGIS is a single item to assess the participant's perception in the severity of their symptoms experienced and clinical meaningfulness of treatment effects experienced using a 5-point verbal rating scale, from "No Symptoms" to "Very Severe". Change from baseline severity at Week 16 will be assessed in adult (= 18 years old) and pediatric (12 to 17 years old) populations.	Baseline to Week 16

Target lesion(s) (up to 3) should be identified at screening, be at least 2 cm in the longest diameter at baseline (for each selected lesion) and may be further reproducibly assessed by MRI.; MRI-measurable non-target lesions are defined as all anatomic lesions other than selected as target and may be measured at radiologic assessment (at least 2 cm in the longest diameter at baseline, the volume may be further reproducibly assessed by MRI).

Secondary	Pharmacokinetics (PK) of alpelisib in Group 1 and Group 2: Trough concentration (Ctrough)	The trough observed concentration of alpelisib will be assessed for Group 1 and Group 2. After Week 28, blood samples will be collected only for participants who had dose escalation at next scheduled visit 4 weeks after the first dose escalation.	Week 17 Day 1 (Pre-dose and 24 h post dose/ Pre-dose of Day 2), Week 20 Day 1 (Pre-dose) and after Week 28, on Day 1 (Pre-dose) 4 weeks after the first dose escalation
Secondary	Change from Baseline in patient-reported pain assessed by Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) Worst Pain intensity item or Wong-Baker Faces Scale (age appropriate) in pediatric and adult populations	Change in scores from Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) items, or Wong-Baker Faces Scale (age appropriate). The BPI item that assesses worst pain intensity in the past 24 hours will be used to assess pain intensity for adult participants (=18 years old) and pediatric participants (=12 years old). Participants respond to the item on an 11-point numerical rating scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (pain as bad as you can imagine). For children under 12, the Wong-Baker Faces Scale will be used in place of the BPI worst pain intensity item. This scale is a single-item that includes drawings of 6 faces that are associated with both a numeric rating and a descriptor (ranging from 0/no hurt - 10/hurts worst)	From Baseline up to approximately 5 years
Secondary	Changes from Baseline in patient-reported health-related quality of life assessed by PROMIS-profile (Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System) in pediatric and adult populations	Change in scores from the PROMIS-profile (Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System). The PROMIS Profiles are a group of PROMIS short forms measuring different domains of health-related quality of life (physical function, fatigue, ability to participate in social/peer relationships, pain interference, pain severity, anxiety, depression and sleep disturbance). All items include 5 response options, except for the pain intensity item, which has 11 response options.	From Baseline up to approximately 5 years

From first documented response until progression of PROS lesions or death, assessed up to approximately 5 years
Secondary	Time to treatment failure in participants who received alpelisib in Group 1 and Group 2	Time from randomization/alpelisib treatment start date until the discontinuation of study treatment due to lack of efficacy (including unsatisfactory therapeutic effect, disease progression) or safety reasons (including adverse events, death).; Participants who complete the study or discontinue study treatment for other reasons (e.g. discontinuation due to Participant/Guardian decision, technical problems) will be censored at the date of last study treatment received.	From Baseline up to approximately 5 years
Secondary	Overall clinical response rate as assessed by investigator in participants who received alpelisib in Group 1 and Group 2	Proportion of participants with overall clinical response reported as improvement, stable or worsening of clinical condition, as assessed by the investigator	Week 16, 24, 40, 48, 72, 96 and thereafter every 48 weeks
Secondary	Proportion of participants with response during the extension period in Group 1 and Group 2	Response (yes/no) at scheduled protocol visit.
