Abstract CT046: A phase I basket study of the PI3K inhibitor taselisib (GDC-0032) in PIK3CA-mutated locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors
Abstract Background: PIK3CA, a gene that encodes the α-isoform of the catalytic subunit of Class I PI3K (PI3Kα), is frequently mutated or amplified in solid tumors. Taselisib is an oral, potent, selective inhibitor of Class I PI3Kα, γ, and δ isoforms with enhanced activity against PIK3CA-mutated cancer models. Preclinical and clinical data demonstrated that single-agent taselisib has activity in multiple PIK3CA-mutated tumor types. Methods: This open-label phase I study (Cohort X of PMT4979g; NCT01296555) enrolled patients (pts) with PIK3CA-mutated tumors who had progressed after, or failed to respond to, at least one prior treatment regimen and were not candidates for regimens known to pro…
Abstract PD5-2: Ph1b study of the PI3K inhibitor taselisib (GDC-0032) in combination with letrozole in patients with hormone receptor-positive advanced breast cancer
Abstract Background: Taselisib (GDC-0032) is a next-generation PI3K inhibitor with increased anti-tumor activity against PIK3CA mutant (MT) cancers. Taselisib is an orally bioavailable, potent, and selective inhibitor of Class I PI3K alpha, delta, and gamma isoforms, with 30-fold less inhibition of the PI3K beta isoform relative to the PI3K alpha isoform. Preclinical data show that taselisib has enhanced activity against PI3K alpha isoform (PIK3CA) MT breast cancer cell lines and enhanced antitumor activity when combined with letrozole. Clinical data with single-agent taselisib also showed increased tumor shrinkage in patients with PIK3CA MT breast cancer as compared to patients with PIK3CA…
