Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include individuals with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer who have PIK3CA mutations and meet specific eligibility criteria.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with HER2-positive breast cancer or those who do not have PIK3CA mutations may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of a combination treatment involving inavolisib, a CDK4/6 inhibitor, and letrozole compared to a placebo with the same CDK4/6 inhibitor and letrozole in patients with advanced breast cancer that is hormone receptor-positive and HER2-negative. The trial focuses on participants with PIK3CA mutations who have either newly diagnosed or relapsed disease after prior endocrine therapy. The study aims to determine if the new combination can improve outcomes in this specific patient population.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a more effective option for patients with advanced breast cancer, potentially improving survival rates and quality of life.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results with similar combination therapies in hormone receptor-positive breast cancer, indicating potential for success in this approach.
