Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical activity of BKM120 in patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer.

Description:

This is a prospective, non-randomized, open-label, multicenter, single-arm exploratory study of single agent BKM120 in the treatment of metastatic triple negative breast cancer patients.

Patients will first undergo screening, tumor measurement and collection of available tumor block from the primary tumor and/or a metastatic site. Available tumor block is required in all patients per inclusion criteria. Analysis of this tumor block will be used for correlation of predictive markers and clinical response in order to define potential subpopulation that benefit from BKM120.

Following confirmation of eligibility criteria, subjects will be enrolled. BKM120 will then be administered in a 100mg dose, orally, once daily, in a continuous schedule. A treatment cycle is defined as 28 days for the purposes of scheduling procedures and evaluations.

Treatment with BKM120 will continue until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity that precludes any further treatment, and/or discontinuation of the treatment by investigator or patient decision.

• History of cardiac dysfunction including any of the following;

1. Myocardial infarction within the last 6 months, documented by persistent elevated cardiac enzymes or persistent regional wall abnormalities on assessment of LVEF function

2. History of documented congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association functional classification III-IV)

3. Documented cardiomyopathy

Patients with previously treated brain metastases, who are on a stable low dose corticosteroids treatment (e.g., dexamethasone 2 mg/day, prednisone 10 mg/day) for at least 14 days before start of study treatment, are eligible

• Other concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled medical condition that would, in the investigator's judgment contraindicate her participation in the clinical study (e.g., chronic pancreatitis, active chronic hepatitis etc.)

• History of non-compliance to medical regimen

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Rate of Clinical Benefit	Clinical benefit rate (CBR) was defined as the percentage of participants achieving complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD) for 4 months or longer based on RECIST 1.1 criteria on treatment. Per RECIST 1.1 for target lesions: CR is the complete disappearance of all target lesions and PR is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference baseline sum LD. PD is at least a 20% increase in sum LD of target lesions (smallest sum LD reference), new lesions, and/or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions. Stable disease (SD) is defined as any condition not meeting the above criteria.	Disease was evaluated radiologically at baseline and every 2 cycles on treatment then every 3 months up to 2 years. Participants in this study cohort were followed for response on average approximately 2 months.
Secondary	Progression-free Survival	Progression-free survival (PFS) based on the Kaplan-Meier (KM) method is defined as the duration of time from study entry to documented disease progression (PD) or death. Participants alive without PD are censored at the date of last disease assessment. Per RECIST 1.1 criteria: PD is at least a 20% increase in the sum of longest diameter (LD) of target lesions taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions. PD for the evaluation of non-target lesions is the appearance of one or more new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of non-target lesions.	Disease was evaluated radiologically at baseline and every 2 cycles on treatment then every 3 months up to 2 years. Participants in this study cohort were followed for PFS on average approximately 2 months.
Secondary	Overall Survival	Overall survival was defined as the time from date of study enrollment until death from any cause.	2 years
Secondary	Frequency and Severity of Adverse Events	Maximum grade toxicity by type was first calculated. Serious AEs were defined as events with treatment-attribution of possibly, probably or definitely and grade 3 or higher per Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.	Adverse events (AEs) were assessed every 2 weeks for the first 2 cycles and every cycle thereafter. Participants were followed for AEs on average approximately 2 months.
