fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and HbA1c)
3. Patient who has other concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled medical conditions that
would, in the Treating Physician's judgment, contraindicate administration of
alpelisib (eg. active or uncontrolled severe infection, chronic active hepatitis,
immuno-compromised, acute or chronic pancreatitis, uncontrolled high blood pressure,
interstitial lung disease, etc.)
4. Patient has a known history of Severe Cutaneous Adverse Reactions (SCAR) like Steven

or Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS).
5. History of pancreatitis within 1 year of screening or past medical history of chronic
pancreatitis
6. Chronic liver disease patients with Child Pugh score B or C
7. Subjects with unresolved osteonecrosis of the jaw
8. Subject is currently receiving any of the following medications and cannot be
discontinued 7 days prior to the start of the treatment:
- Strong inducers of CYP3A4
- Inhibitors of BCRP
9. Patient has a known history of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection (testing
not mandatory unless required by local regulations or requirements).
10. Patient is currently receiving or has received systemic corticosteroids = 2 weeks
prior to start of program treatment, or who have not fully recovered from side effects
of such treatment.
Note: The following uses of corticosteroids are permitted: single doses, topical
applications (e.g., for rash), inhaled sprays (e.g., for obstructive airways
diseases), eye drops or local injections (e.g., intra-articular).
11. Male patient who does not use highly effective contraception during the treatment with
alpelisib and through the duration as defined below after the final dose of alpelisib.
Sexually active males should use a condom during intercourse while taking drug and for
at least 1 week after stopping alpelisib and should not father a child in this period.
In addition, male participants must not donate sperm during study and up to the time
period specified above.
12. Subject or caregiver (in the case of a pediatric subject) is not able to understand
and to comply with treatment instructions and requirements
13. Subject is a nursing (lactating) or pregnant woman as confirmed by a positive serum
(hCG) test prior to initiating study treatment
14. Subject is a woman of child-bearing potential defined as all women physiologically
capable of becoming pregnant, unless they are using highly effective methods of
contraception during study treatment and at least for 1 week after the last dose of
any study treatment.
Highly effective contraception methods include:
- Total abstinence (when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the
subject). Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptom-thermal,
post-ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.
- Female sterilization (have had surgical bilateral oophorectomy with or without
hysterectomy), total hysterectomy or bilateral tubal ligation at least 6 weeks before
taking study treatment. In case of unilateral oophorectomy, only when the reproductive
status of the woman has been confirmed by follow up hormone level assessment
- Male sterilization (at least 6 months prior to screening). For female subjects on the
study the vasectomized male partner should be the sole partner for that subject
- Use of oral (estrogen and progesterone), injected or implanted combined hormonal
method of contraception or placement of an intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine
system (IUS), or forms of hormonal contraception that have comparable efficacy
(failure rate <1%), for example hormonal vaginal ring or transdermal hormone
contraception. In case of use or oral contraception, women should have been stable on
the same pill for a minimum of 3 months before taking study treatment.
Note: Women are considered postmenopausal and not of child bearing potential if they have
had 12 months of natural (spontaneous) amenorrhea and/or confirmed by hormonal status (FSH
and estradiol) or have undergone surgical bilateral oophorectomy (with or without
hysterectomy), total hysterectomy, or bilateral tubal ligation at least 6 weeks before
taking study treatment. In the case of unilateral oophorectomy, only when the reproductive
status of the woman had been confirmed by hormonal levels (FSH and estradiol), she will be
considered not of child bearing potential
