than 7 days before the exam collection
Exclusion Criteria:

- Prior treatment with copanlisib
- Documented evidence of resistance to prior treatment with idelalisib or other PI3K
inhibitors defined as: No response (response defined as partial response [PR] or
complete response [CR]) at any time during therapy, or Progression (PD) after any
response (PR/CR) or after stable disease within 6 months from the end of the therapy
with a PI3K inhibitor
- Prior treatment including systemic therapy or radiotherapy within 21 days of study
initiation
- Poorly controlled diabetes mellitus defined as hemoglobin A1c > 8.5%
- Known lymphomatous involvement of the central nervous system
- Known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. All patients must be
screened for HIV up to 28 days prior to study drug start using a blood test for HIV
according to local regulations
- Hepatitis B (HBV) or C (HCV) infection. All patients must be screened for HBV and HCV
up to 28 days prior to study drug start using the routine hepatitis virus laboratorial
panel. Patients positive for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) or hepatitis B core
antibody (HBcAb) will be eligible if they are negative for HBV-deoxyribonucleic acid
(DNA), these patients should receive prophylactic antiviral therapy. Patients positive
for anti-HCV antibody will be eligible if they are negative for HCV-ribonucleic acid
(RNA)
- Previous or concurrent history of malignancies within 3 years prior to study. Any
exceptions beyond those listed below must be approved by the principal investigator:
- Cervical carcinoma in situ
- Non-melanoma skin cancer
- Superficial bladder cancer (Ta [non-invasive tumor], Tis [carcinoma in situ] and
T1 [tumor invades lamina propria])
- Localized prostate cancer
- Active, clinically serious infections (> Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse
Events [CTCAE] grade 2)
- Known hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs, study drug classes, or excipients in
the formulation.
- Proteinuria of >= CTCAE grade 3 as assessed by a 24 hour (h) total urine protein
quantification or estimated by urine protein: creatinine ratio > 3.5 on a random urine
sample
- Unresolved toxicity from prior therapy higher than National Cancer Institute
(NCI)-CTCAE grade 1 attributed to any prior therapy/procedure excluding alopecia or
sensory neuropathy. Concurrent diagnosis of pheochromocytoma
- Pregnant or breast-feeding patients. Women of childbearing potential must have a
pregnancy test performed a maximum of 7 days before start of treatment, and a negative
result must be documented before start of treatment
- Substance abuse, medical, psychological or social conditions that may interfere with
the patient's participation in the study or evaluation of the study result

months)

event >= CTCAE grade 3 within 4 weeks prior to the start of study treatment
- Any illness or medical conditions that are unstable or could jeopardize the safety of

- History of having received an allogeneic bone marrow or organ transplant
- Anti-arrhythmic therapy (beta blockers or digoxin are permitted)
- Major surgical procedure or significant traumatic injury (as judged by the
investigator) less than 28 days before start of treatment, open biopsy less than 7

- Systemic continuous corticosteroid therapy at a daily dose higher than 15 mg
prednisone or equivalent is not allowed. Patients may be using topical or inhaled
corticosteroids. Previous corticosteroid therapy must be stopped or reduced to the
allowed dose at least 7 days performing the screening computed tomography
(CT)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). If a patient is on chronic corticosteroid
therapy, corticosteroids should be de-escalated to the maximum allowed dose before the
screening. Patients may be using topical or inhaled corticosteroids
- Use of CYP3A4 inhibitors and inducers. Copanlisib is primarily metabolized by CYP3A4.
Therefore, concomitant use of strong inhibitors of CYP3A4 (e.g., ketoconazole,
itraconazole, clarithromycin, ritonavir, indinavir, nelfinavir and saquinavir), and
strong inducers of CYP3A4 (e.g., rifampin, phenytoin, carbamazepine, phenobarbital,
St. John's wort) are not permitted from day -14 of cycle 1 until the safety follow-up
visit
