alpelisib in pediatric and adult patients with lymphatic malformations associated with a pik3ca mutation.

Conditions: Lymphatic Malformations

Summary: the main purpose of this study in participants with pik3ca-mutated lym is to assess the change in radiological response and symptom severity upon treatment with alpelisib film-coated tablets (fct) as compared to placebo.

this is a phase ii/iii multi-center study with two stages: * stage 1 is designed to select the dose(s) for the confirmatory phase (dscp) for alpelisib in stage 2 and will comprise a 24-week open-label core phase in adult (≥18 years of age) and pediatric participants (6-17 years of age) with pik3ca-mutated lym, followed by an extension. after eligibility has been confirmed at screening, participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to the different alpelisib doses according to their age. depending on the results at the end of stage 1 core phase, the stage 2 will be opened to adult and/or pediatric participants or the study may be stopped. * stage 2 is designed to confirm the efficacy and assess safety of alpelisib at the dscp in participants with pik3ca-mutated lym and will comprise a 24-week randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled confirmatory phase in adult (≥18 years of age) and pediatric participants 6-17 years of age followed by an open-label extension. after eligibility has been confirmed at screening participants will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to alpelisib or placebo. additionally, in parallel, stage 2 will include a 24-week open-label core phase in pediatric participants 0-5 years of age followed by an extension, if pediatric participants will be enrolling in stage 2. based on the results of the 24-week open-label core phase of stage 1, the dose(s) for stage 2 will be selected by novartis in consultation with the steering committee (sc). during the 24-week randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled core phase of stage 2, an independent data monitoring committee (dmc) will conduct periodic safety and efficacy reviews to assess the risk benefit profile of the treatment.
