1.1 Primary  Objective 
1.1.1. To determine the maximum tolerated dose of BYL719 with capecitabine and radiation for patients 
with newly diagnosed rectal cancer. 
1.2 Secondary  Objectives

1.2.2. To evaluate the pathologic complete response for patients with rectal cancer treated with BYL719, 
capecitabine and radiation. 
1.2.3. To assess the surgical complication rate of patients receiving preoperative BYL179 capecitabine and 
radiation 
1.2.4. To gather preliminary information as to whether mutations in KRAS, BRAF, or PIK3CA predict 
pathologic complete response to BYL719, capecitabine and radiation. 
 
2.0  BACKGROUND 
Rectal Cancer: There are approximately 41,000 new cases of rectal cancer diagnosed each year in the 
United States.1 Stage-for-stage, recurrence rates are higher in rectal cancer in comparison to colon cancer.2  
Preoperative Chemoradiation: Chemoradiation improves survival in patients with rectal cancer.3-5 
Preoperative fluoropyrimidine (fluorouracil or capecitabine) with concurrent radiation is a standard of care 
for stage II/III rectal cancer.6 Preoperative chemoradiation improves local control and is associated with 
reduced toxicities as compared to postoperative chemoradiation.6 Pathologic complete response rates for 
fluorouracil and radiation range are approximately 9-25%.6-10 When added to fluoropyrimidine, no other 
agent (including oxaliplatin, irinotecan, EGFR inhibitors, or bevacizumab) increases pathologic complete 
response.11-14 
The PI3K Pathway in Rectal Cancer: The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt/mammalian target of 
rapamycin (PI3K/Akt/mTOR) signaling axis plays a critical role in the proliferation, resistance to 
apoptosis, angiogenesis and metastasis that is central to the development and maintenance of colorectal 
cancer.15-18 The effects of PI3K on tumor growth and progression are thought to be mediated by Akt, a 
downstream effector of PI3K.19-21 Inhibition of upstream PI3K/Akt pathway components decreases 
growth, increases apoptosis, increases sensitivity to chemotherapy and radiation and decreases the 
metastatic capability of CRCs.22-29 PI3K mutations occur in approximately 12% of rectal cancers but 
PIK3 signaling, in the absence of mutation, is increased in the majority of rectal cancers. 21-24 
There are three classes of PI3Ks grouped according to structure and function. Class IA PI3K is the one 
most clearly implicated in human cancer.30 Class IA PI3Ks consist of a regulatory subunit and a catalytic 
subunit. Three mammalian genes, PIK3R1, PIK3R2, and PIK3R3, encode p85α, p85β  and p55γ 
regulatory subunits, respectively, which by convention are referred to collectively as p85.31  The catalytic 
isoforms, p110 α , p110 β, and p110 γ, are the products of three genes, PIK3CA, PIK3CB, and PIK3CD.25 
Both PIK3CA and PIK3R1 can be somatically mutated in colorectal cancer, and these mutations promote 
activation of the PI3K pathway.32

BYL719:  BYL719 is an oral small-molecule inhibitor of the p110α catalytic subunit of PI3K, which is 
encoded by the PIK3CA gene, one of the most commonly mutated genes in human cancers including 
rectal cancer. BYL719 inhibits proliferation of PI3Kα-driven cancer cell lines in vitro and causes 
regression of PIK3CA-mutant tumor models in vivo. A phase I study has been completed in patients with 
advanced solid tumors carrying a somatic mutation of PIK3CA.33 Thirty-six patients received doses up to 
450 mg/day. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for once-daily dosing was declared as 400 mg/day. 
Dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) were hyperglycemia, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. The most common 
BYL719-related adverse events  were hyperglycemia (49%), nausea (45%), diarrhea (40%), decreased 
appetite (38%), vomiting (30%), and fatigue (27%).  Partial responses were seen in 7 patients and 
seventeen patients stayed on study for >24 weeks demonstrated proof-of-concept of the importance of this 
pathway.  
PI3K Inhibitors are Radiation Sensitizers: Resistance of tumors to radiation has been associated with 
the activation of intracellular signaling pathways, particularly the PI3K/AKT pathway.24-29 Preclinical 
studies have shown the enhanced effect of radiation in combination with PI3K/AKT/mTOR in several 
cancer cell lines including colon cancer. 24-29   He et al reported that the local recurrence rate following 
preoperative chemoradiation for rectal cancer is three times higher in patients with PI3K mutations 
thanin  patients without PI3K mutations.24 
Strategy to Develop BYL719 With Capecitabine and Radiation in Rectal Cancer: PIK3 signaling is 
increased in many rectal cancers. 24-29 Upregulation of PIK3 predicts radiation resistance.21 PI3K 
inhibitors are radiation enhances. Thus the addition of BYL719 to capecitabine and radiation may 
improve pathologic complete response rates for rectal cancer. In this phase I study, any patient with rectal 
cancer needing preoperative radiation will be eligible since upregulation of PIK3 may occur in the 
absence of a mutation. This phase I study will provide the necessary preliminary data to study BYL719 
within the developing framework of NRG where patients with rectal cancer will be treated with a targeted 
agent that correlates with the specific mutation detected in an individual tumor. It is anticipated that 
BYL719 will be dramatically effective as a radiation sensitizer in the 12% of patients with rectal cancer 
and PI3K mutations so phase II/III investigations of BYL719 within the cooperative group may focus on 
rectal cancers with PI3K mutations. 
The Brown University Oncology Research Group is a national leader in the management of rectal 
cancer: Total Neoadjuvant Treatment (TNT): The Brown University Oncology Research Group has 
successfully piloted the concept of total neoadjuvant treatment for rectal cancer in a 39 patient study.34,35 
Patients with stage II and stage III rectal cancer received 8 cycles of FOLFOX, followed by capecitabine 
and concurrent radiation followed by surgery. Compliance to neoadjuvant FOLFOX was far superior to the 
traditional treatment paradigm when FOLFOX is administered after rectal surgery. NRG (the merger of the 
NSABP and the RTOG) has chosen the TNT approach to be the new standard treatment sequence for stage 
II-III rectal cancer. This approach is optimal for developing a targeted radiation sensitizer. During 
neoadjuvant FOLFOX, molecular testing can be performed. Based on the molecular profile of an individual 
tumor a specific radiation enhancer such as a PI3K inhibitor may be added when preoperative radiation is 
initiated based on the mutational status of the tumor.

Future Development of BYL719 in Rectal Cancer Following Demonstration of Safety in This 
Proposed Phase I Study: The current research focus of NRG is to develop a more promising regimen of 
radiation enhancement than capecitabine alone. Once safety of BYL719 with capecitabine/radiation is 
established, BYL719 can be definitively tested in NRG. It is envisioned that within the cooperative groups, 
new patients with rectal cancer will be treated within the TNT format with 8 cycles of FOLFOX followed 
by capecitabine and radiation. New patients with rectal cancer will be evaluated for specific molecular 
alterations. If a P13K mutation were detected, within this multi-institutional cooperative group framework, 
the effect of BYL719 on pathologic complete response could be definitively tested within the subgroup of 
patients with PI3K mutations. An agent that increases pathologic complete response would be a major 
advance in rectal cancer because it would decrease the number of patients with low rectal cancer requiring 
a permanent colostomy. The primary goal of this Brown University Oncology Research Group is to 
determine that a safe dose of BYL719 can be administered with capecitabine and radiation in patients with 
rectal cancer. Therefore, the threshold of success for this phase I study is to establish safety. In a subsequent 
NRG study, within the TNT framework, a randomized phase II study will be planned exclusively in patients 
with PIK3CA mutations to assess whether pathologic complete response is improved within this specific 
subgroup of patients. 
3.0 PATIENT ELIGIBILITY 
3.1 Conditions for Patient Eligibility 
3.1.1 Patients must have histologically proven adenocarcinoma of the rectum with no evidence of distant 
metastases.  
3.1.2 The tumor must be clinically Stage II (T3-4 N0) or stage III (N+). Stage of the tumor may be 
determined by CT scan, endorectal ultrasound or MRI.  (For patients receiving chemotherapy prior to 
protocol chemoradiation, the initial clinical stage applies. CT/MRI/PET should be performed within 2 
months of study entry to exclude disease progression.) For the MTD expansion phase only: patients who 
are stage IV, and in whom it is planned to administer capecitabine and radiation then have a resection of 
their rectal cancer, are also eligible. Submit documentation to BrUOG on location of metastatic disease 
sites with source confirmation (scan, pathology etc) and obtain confirmation that patients would meet this 
criterion. 
3.1.3 Measurable disease not required at baseline. Patient’s without measurable disease may be enrolled 
as long as they clinically meet stage II or III criteria or for MTD expansion phase: also stage IV.   
3.1.4 Patients must not have received pelvic radiation for rectal cancer, or prior pelvic radiation for any 
other malignancy that would prevent the patient from receiving the required radiation treatments for this 
study. (Patients may receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy prior to study chemoradiation)  
3.1.5 Patients must not have an active concurrent invasive malignancy. Patients with prior malignancies, , 
are eligible if they are deemed by their physician to be at low risk for recurrence. For example, patients 
with squamous or basal cell carcinoma of the skin, melanoma in situ, carcinoma of the cervix, early stage 
breast cancer, or carcinoma in situ of the colon that have been effectively treated are eligible, even if these 
conditions were diagnosed within 3 years prior to registration. 
3.1.6 Patients must be > 18 years of age,  
3.1.7 ECOG performance status 0-1

history of vasomotor symptoms) or have had surgical bilateral oophorectomy (with or without 
hysterectomy) at least six weeks ago. 
For women with therapy-induced amenorrhea, oophorectomy or serial measurements of FSH and/or 
estradiol are needed to ensure postmenopausal status. 
3.2.18 Patient who does not apply highly effective contraception during the study and through 
the duration as defined below after the final dose of study treatment: 
a. Sexually active males (unless surgically sterilized at least 6 months prior to screening which 
would mean no contraception is needed) should use a condom during intercourse while taking 
drug and for 6 months after the final dose of study treatment and should not father a child in this 
period, but may be recommended to seek advice on conservation of sperm. The use of 
spermicidal foam is also highly suggested to be used with a condom as another form of 
protection.  A condom is required to be used also by vasectomized men in order to prevent 
delivery of the drug via seminal fluid. Males should be cautioned to not donate sperm while 
actively receiving treatment on study. 
b. Women of child-bearing potential, defined as all women physiologically capable of becoming 
pregnant, must use highly effective contraception during the study and through 6 months after 
the final dose of study treatment. Highly effective contraception is defined as either: 
i. Total abstinence: When this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject. 
[Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, postovulation methods) 
and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception]. 
ii. Female sterilization: have had surgical bilateral oophorectomy (with or without 
hysterectomy) or tubal ligation at least six weeks before taking study treatment. In case 
of oophorectomy alone, only when the reproductive status of the woman has been 
confirmed by follow up hormone level assessment 
iii. Male partner sterilization (with the appropriate post-vasectomy documentation of the 
absence of sperm in the ejaculate). [For female study subjects, the vasectomized male 
partner should be the sole partner for that patient] 
iv. Use a combination of the following (both a+b): 
a. Placement of an intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS) 
b. Barrier methods of contraception: Condom or Occlusive cap (diaphragm or 
cervical/vault caps) with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/vaginal suppository. 
Note: Hormonal contraception methods (e.g. oral, injected, and implanted) are not allowed 
as BYL719 may decrease the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives. 
c. Women are considered post-menopausal and not of child-bearing potential if they 
have had 12 months of natural (spontaneous) amenorrhea with an appropriate clinical 
profile (e.g. age appropriate, history of vasomotor symptoms) or have had surgical 
bilateral oophorectomy (with or without hysterectomy) at least six weeks ago. 
b. For women with therapy-induced amenorrhea, oophorectomy or serial measurements of 
FSH and/or estradiol are needed to ensure postmenopausal status. 
NOTE: Ovarian radiation or treatment with a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH) 
agonist (goserelin acetate or leuprolide acetate) is not permitted for induction of ovarian 
suppression.

NOTE: Ovarian radiation or treatment with a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH) agonist 
(goserelin acetate or leuprolide acetate) is not permitted for induction of ovarian suppression. 
3.2.19 Herbal preparations/medications are not allowed throughout the study. These herbal 
medications include, but are not limited to: St. John’s wort, Kava, ephedra (ma huang), gingko 
biloba, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA),  yohimbe,  saw  palmetto,  Medical Marijuana and  
ginseng. Patients need to stop using these herbal medications 7 days prior to first dose of study drug. 
3.2.20 Patient must not eat or drink Seville orange (and juice), grapefruit or grapefruit juice, grapefruit 
hybrids, pummelos, starfruits and cranberry juice from 7 days prior to the first dose of study drug and 
during the entire study treatment 
3.2.21 Patient is currently receiving or has received systemic corticosteroids < 2 weeks prior to day 1 of 
study drug, or who has not fully recovered from side effects of treatment. 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). 
3.2.22 Patient is concurrently using other anti-cancer therapy 
 
3.3 Re-Screening: 
If a patient signs consent and then screen fails (does not meet the eligibility criteria) and the treating MD 
requests that the patient be re-screened outside of the 28 day screening window, sites are to contact 
BrUOG who will assess patients on a case by case basis. Depending on many diverse factors including 
the conditions that are being evaluated, the reasons why patient initially screen failed, and the nature of 
the initial results, re-screening may or may not be medically/scientifically appropriate. BrUOG should be 
made aware of such a situation with at least 72 hours and provided with information on screen-failure.

Radiation: 50.4 Gy, 180 cGY/fraction x 28 fractions: 
BYL 719: BYL719 will be given once daily po, from Day 1 of radiation to the final treatment with 
radiation. BYL719 will be administered orally once daily on a continuous dosing schedule 
and dosed on a flat-fixed dose and not adjusted by body weight or body surface area.  
Missed doses of BYL 719 are not made up and BYL719 will be stopped when radiation is 
completed. 
IF RADIATION IS NOT GIVEN SECONDARY TO TOXICITY OR TOXICITY 
RECOVERY (OR PER PROTOCOL) ETC, THEN PATIENT IS TO BE INSTRUCTED 
TO NOT TAKE CAPECITABINE OR BYL719 DRUGS. IF RADIATION IS NOT 
GIVEN SECONDARY TO A HOLIDAY OR AN ADMINISTRATIVE REASON 
(MACHINE IS DOWN, SNOW STORM, SCHEDULING ETC) THEN 
CAPECITABINE IS TO BE HELD (ONCE IT IS KNOWN TREATMENT WON’T BE

STILL TO BE GIVEN AS TREATMENT IS ON A CONTINUOUS BASIS AND 
REASON IS NOT FOR TOXICITY (BUT MUST BE STOPPED ONCE RADIATION 
ENDS).

a dose reduction may be needed for a patient on dose level 1.  
Only 1 dose reduction is permitted per patient for criteria noted in section 5) 
Three patients will be accrued to level 1.  If dose level 1 is not tolerated then dose level -1 will be 
investigated. If no dose limiting toxicities are observed following completion of BYL719, capecitabine and 
radiation, and after patients are observed for 2 weeks post completion, then accrual to level 2 will proceed. 
If a DLT is observed in one of the first 3 patients in a dose level, then accrual for that level will be expanded 
to 6 patients. Two or more instances of DLT in a cohort of 6 patients will result in the preceding dose level 
being defined as the MTD. After determination of the MTD, the final cohort will be expanded so that a total 
of 24 patients are treated on study.  A patient will be considered inevaluable if they receive <67% of their 
total intended treatment (BYL719, Capecitabine or Radiation) for non-protocol required reasons.  
During the MTD dose finding portion, patients who are removed from study for reasons other than a DLT, 
defined in section 5.2, will be replaced.

If a dose limiting toxicity occurs, BYL719 will be held until the toxicity reduces to < grade 1 at which 
point patients will be permanently dose reduced by 1 dose level.  Patients may continue to receive their 
capecitabine and radiation as per institutional standard of care when toxicities resolve to < grade 2.   
If treatment is held for more than 28 days, then patient should come off study.  
Definition of Dose Limiting Toxicities 
 
Grade 4 neutropenia (ANC < 500/mm3) 
 
ANC <1000/mm3 with fever (temp > 101) or infection 
 
Grade 4 thrombocytopenia: Platelets <25,000/mm3  
 
Platelets <50,000/mm3 requiring transfusion  
 
Grade 3 or 4 treatment related non-hematologic toxicities excluding alopecia. Grade 3 nausea, 
vomiting or diarrhea will only be considered a dose limiting toxicity if it occurs for greater than 
48 hours despite maximal medical support. Grade 3 electrolyte abnormalities will not be 
considered dose limiting toxicities if the electrolyte disorder can be corrected to grade 2 or less 
within 72 hours. A grade 4 electrolyte abnormality will be considered a DLT. 
 
Patients who receive < 67% of intended BYL719 or capecitabine secondary to treatment related 
toxicities will also be considered as having a DLT (patients will be considered inevaluable) 
The investigator or responsible site personnel should instruct the patient to take the study drugs as 
per protocol (promote compliance). Drug accountability must be performed on a regular basis. 
Patients will be instructed to return unused study drugs to the site at the end. The site personnel will 
ensure that the appropriate dose of each study drug is administered at each visit and will provide the 
patient with the correct amount of drugs for subsequent dosing. 
The following general guidelines should be followed for BYL719 administration: 
   
 
Patients should be instructed to take the dose (one or more tablets) of BYL719 with a 
glass of water (~250 ml or ~8 fluid ounces) daily in the morning and within 
approximately 1 hour after a meal (like breakfast) or snack  
 
Take BYL719 at approximately the same time each day  after a meal or snack 
(preferable in the morning after breakfast) (recommended 8AM +/1 hour)  
 
If, for any reason, a breakfast (or other meal) was not consumed, then the patient should take study 
treatment with a glass of water within 1 hour after a snack that same day. If the patient forgets to 
take study treatment during the daytime it should be taken in the evening at the latest within 1 hour 
after a meal, but not later than 6 pm. If not taken by this time, the dose should be withheld that 
day. Missed doses should not be made up the next day.  
 
Patients should be instructed to swallow the tablets and not to chew or crush them. However for 
patients with swallowing dysfunction without G tube, BYL719 film-coated tablets can be 
administered as drinkable suspension by crushing the tablets and suspending them in water. The 
drinkable suspension prepared from the film-coated crushed tablets is not permitted for 
administration into feeding tubes. 
 
Patients should record if the dose was taken or not in the patient diary 
 
If vomiting occurs during the course of treatment, no re-dosing of the patient is 
allowed before the next scheduled dose. The occurrence and frequency of any 
vomiting and/or diarrhea (or increase stool frequency) during the treatment must be 
noted in the adverse events section of the patient record.

 
Patients must avoid consumption of Seville orange (and juice), grapefruit or grapefruit 
juice, grapefruit hybrids, pummelos, starfruits and cranberry juice from 7 days prior to 
the first dose of study drug and during the entire study treatment period due to 
potential CYP3A interaction. Regular orange (Citrus X sinensis) juice is allowed. 
 
Patients must avoid concomitant intake of strong CYP3A inhibitors and inducers.  
4.2 Concomitant medications 
In general, the use of any concomitant medication/therapies deemed necessary for the care of 
the patient is permitted, except as specifically prohibited below and in Appendix F and G and 
the Investigators Brochure (please know that medical marijuana is included in reference to herbal 
medications in Appendix G as a prohibited medication on study). All medications and significant 
non-drug therapies (including blood transfusions) patient is taking at baseline prior to the 
administration of BYL719 through 30 days after the last dose of BYL719 will be recorded on 
the Concomitant medications log. 
The investigator should instruct the patient to notify the investigational site about any new 
medications she takes after the start of the study drug. 
The patient must be told to notify the investigational site about any new medications he/she takes 
after the start of the study drug. All medications (other than study drug) and significant non-drug 
therapies (including physical therapy and blood transfusions) administered during the study must 
be listed on the Concomitant Medications or the Procedures and Significant Non-Drug Therapies 
section of the patient record, respectively. 
4.2.1 Permitted concomitant therapy 
Antiemetics 
Use of anti-emetics is allowed. Prophylactic anti-emetics should be started only once the patient  
experiences  nausea  or  vomiting,  at  the  discretion  of  the  investigator.  It is recommended 
that patients use drugs that do not cause QT prolongation (Appendix F). Please note that some 
anti-emetics have a known risk for TdP and are prohibited (refer to Appendix  G)  
Oral hypoglycemic anti-diabetic Agents 
Patients who develop diabetes mellitus during the study should be treated according to the ADA 
(American Diabetes Association) guidance. It is recommended to start treatment with 
glimepiride, glibenclamide or metformin. Patients receiving oral antidiabetics which are 
predominantly  metabolized  by  CYP2C9  and  CYP2C8,  including  but  not  limited  to, 
repaglinide, rosiglitazone, glipizide and tolbutamide, must be carefully monitored for 
hypoglycemia as BYL719 was found to be moderate reversible inhibitor of these enzymes (refer 
to Appendix F).  
Anticoagulation 
Anticoagulants other than warfarin/coumarin derivates may be administered under the discretion 
of the investigator. However, caution is advised when BYL719 is co-administered with anti-
platelet pro-drugs such as clopidogrel, ticlopidine and prasugrel, which require metabolic 
activation by CYP3A4, CYP2C9 and CYP2C19.  BYL719 has the potential to inhibit these 
enzymes and may therefore decrease the metabolic activation and clinical efficacy of these pro-

drugs.  Patients using anti-platetet pro-drugs should be carefully monitored (refer to Appendix 
F). 
Contraceptives 
Hormonal contraceptives may be affected by cytochrome P450 interactions, and are therefore 
not considered effective for this study. For allowed contraception methods, refer to Exclusion 
Criteria. Highly effective contraception should be maintained throughout the study and for 6 
months after study treatment discontinuation. 
CYP450 substrates 
In vitro studies demonstrate that BYL719 is a time dependent inhibitor of CYP3A4(Ki 5.6 μM, 
Kinact 0.011 min-1). Reversible inhibition of CYP2C8 (Ki 32 μM), CYP2C9 (Ki 22 μM) and 
CYP2C19 (IC50 75 μM) was also observed. BYL719 may inhibit metabolic clearance of co-
medications metabolized by CYP3A4, CYP2C8, CYP2C9 and CYP2C19, if sufficiently high 
BYL719 concentrations are achieved in vivo. Investigators, at their discretion, may administer 
concomitant medications known to be metabolized by or are substrates for CYP3A4/5, CYP2C8, 
CYP2C9 and CYP2C19. Patients receiving such medications and drugs which have a narrow 
therapeutic index must be carefully monitored for potential toxicity due to any individual 
concomitant medications. (refer to Appendix F). 
Caution is advised when BYL719 is co-administered with opioid analgesics. Inhibition of opioid  
metabolism  by  CYP3A4  can  lead  to  opioid  toxicity,  including  fatal  respiratory depression, 
or an enhanced risk for QTc prolongation. Patients receiving BYL719 and opioid analgesics  
should   be  carefully  monitored.  Synthetic  opioids  with  clinically  relevant interactions with 
CYP3A4 inhibitors include, but are not limited to, propoxyphene, fentanyl, alfentanyl and 
sufentanil. Use of alfentanyl, a sensitive CYP3A4 substrate with narrow therapeutic window, 
should be full avoided whenever possible. The use of methadone and levomethadyl is prohibited 
(refer to Appendix G). 
Gastric protection agents  
BYL719 is characterized by a pH-dependent solubility. Medicinal products that alter the pH of 
the upper gastro-intestinal tract may alter the solubility of BYL719 and hence its bioavailability. 
These agents include, but are not limited to, proton-pump inhibitors (PPI) (e.g., omeprazole), 
H2-antagonists (e.g., ranitidine) and antacids. Due to long pharmacodynamic effect of PPIs, i.e. 
long-lasting reduction of gastric acid production over 36 hours, H2-antagonists and antacids are 
recommend to be used over PPIs, whenever possible. Note that some proton pump inhibitors 
may possibly also inhibit BCRP (refer to Appendix F). 
BYL719 should preferably be dosed in a staggered manner, i.e., at least 1 hour before or 10 
hours after dosing with a gastric protection agent. 
BCRP inhibitors 
BYL719 was identified as a substrate for the human breast cancer related protein (BCRP). Co-
administration of BYL719 with BCRP inhibitors may possibly increase systemic exposure 
and/or alter tissue uptake of oral BYL719.The treatment with BCRP inhibitors should be kept 
as short as possible or, if possible, fully avoided. See Appendix F for Table of Permitted 
Medications.

Corticosteroids 
Chronic dosing of high levels of corticosteroids such as dexamethasone and prednisone may prolong or 
aggravate hyperglycemia (steroid-induced diabetes). Hyperglycemia is a common adverse event for Pi3K 
inhibitors like BYL719 and should therefore be used with caution and patients closely monitored. 
The patient must be told to notify the investigational site about any new medications she/he takes after the 
start of the study drug. All medications (other than study drug) and significant non-drug therapies (including 
physical therapy, herbal/natural medications and blood transfusions) administered during the study must be 
listed on the Concomitant Medications CRF pages. 
4.2.2 Prohibited concomitant therapy 
Other anticancer therapy 
If a patient, enrolled in the study, requires the concomitant use of any medication included in 
Appendix G entitled “List of Prohibited Medications during BYL719 Treatment” (i.e., drugs that 
are generally accepted by the Qtdrugs.org Advisory Board of the Arizona CERT to have a known 
risk of causing TdP), BYL719 administration must be interrupted as long as the patient requires 
therapy with the QT prolonging agent. Note Appendix G also prohibits drugs that are substrates 
for CYP3A and CYP2C with a possible or conditional risk for TdP. If the patient requires long 
term therapy with such a QT prolonging agent, leading to study treatment interruption of > 28 
days, the patient must be permanently discontinued from BYL719. 
Herbal medications 
Herbal preparations/medications are not allowed throughout the study. These herbal medications 
include, but are not limited to: m e d i c a l  m a r i j u a n a , St. John’s wort, Kava, ephedra 
(ma huang), gingko biloba,  dehydroepiandrosterone  (DHEA),  yohimbe,  saw  palmetto,  and  
ginseng. Patients should stop using these herbal medications 7 days prior to first dose of study drug. 
Warfarin and coumarin derivates 
Therapeutic doses of warfarin sodium (Coumadin®) or any other coumarin-derivative anticoagulants 
are not permitted. Warfarin has a narrow therapeutic range and BYL719 is a possible inhibitor of 
CYP2C8 and 2C9, the major metabolizing enzyme of warfarin. Therapeutic anticoagulation may be 
accomplished using low-molecular weight heparin. 
4.3 Radiation Therapy 
Note: Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is mandatory for all patients for 
the initial pelvic field encompassing the gross tumor and at-risk lymph nodes in the pelvis. 
Protocol treatment (chemotherapy and radiation therapy) should be initiated simultaneously on 
a Monday or Tuesday whenever possible 
4.3.1 Dose Specifications 
Treatment plans for patients on this protocol will consist of 2 phases: 1) the first phase will 
consist of inverse-planned IMRT-based treatment to the pelvis (rectum and draining lymphatics 
at risk) for a total of 45 Gy in 1.8 Gy daily fractions, and 2) the second phase will consist of a 3- 
dimensional conformal boost (a 3-field technique is suggested) to gross disease + a minimum 2 
cm margin including all of the presacral space for an additional 5.4 Gy in 1.8 Gy daily fractions.

IMRT Dose Specifications 
Inverse planning is required for the IMRT portion of treatment and planning constraints are 
provided in this section for both the planning target volume (PTV) as well as critical normal 
structures to be spared. Acceptable treatment plans will be established from a DVH-based 
analysis of the volumetric dose to both the PTV and critical normal structures to ensure that 
minimally acceptable constraints for each volume of interest have been met. 
IMRT treatment to the pelvis will be planned to deliver a total of 45 Gy to the PTV in 25 
fractions of 1.8 Gy over 5 consecutive weeks. 
a. Technical Factors 
i. Megavoltage equipment (minimum acceptable energy is 6 MV) capable of 
delivering static intensity modulation with a multileaf collimator or dynamic 
intensity modulation (using a multileaf collimator or tomotherapy) is required. 
ii. Inverse-planning capable software is required. 
b. Localization, Simulation, and Immobilization 
i. A custom immobilization device (such as Alpha Cradle or vac-loc bag) for 
supine patients is suggested to minimize setup uncertainty. 
ii. CT-based simulation (maximum 5 mm slice thickness) is required for this protocol 
and bowel exclusion techniques should be used when possible. Patients may be 
simulated supine or prone (if a belly board is utilized). Patients should be simulated 
in the “arms up” position whether prone or supine and with a full bladder. 
c. Treatment Planning/Target Volumes 
2. The definition of volumes will be in accordance with the 1993 ICRU Report #50: 
Prescribing, Recording and Reporting Photon Beam Therapy. 
i. The Gross Tumor Volume (GTV) is defined as all known gross disease as 
determined from a combination of physical exam, colonoscopy, ultrasound, CT 
(and MRI or PET-CT if performed). 
ii. The Clinical Target Volume (CTV) is defined as the GTV plus areas considered at 
significant risk of harboring microscopic disease.   The CTV for a T3 tumor 
should include all gross disease (rectal and nodal) as well as the internal iliac 
lymph nodes and the mesorectum (perirectal fat and the presacral space).  The CTV 
for a T4 tumor will include the same structures as for a T3 tumor but will include 
the external iliac lymph nodes as well. 
iii. The Planning Target Volume (PTV) will provide a margin around the CTV to 
compensate for the inter- and intra-fraction uncertainty consequent to daily setup 
uncertainty and to potential internal organ motion. By definition, the PTV will 
consist of a symmetrical 5 mm expansion around the CTV. In the event that PTVs 
extend outside of the skin surface, the clinician should manually trim the PTV 
contours to be 3-5 mm inside the outer skin (unless there is direct skin involvement). 
1. The following are guidelines for generating CTV and a unified PTV. 
a. Rectal GTV (+1.5 cm radially, +2.5 cm craniocaudally) = CTV 
b. Nodal GTV + 1.5 cm symmetrical expansion = CTV

c. Uninvolved iliac vessels + 1.0 cm = CTV (include external iliac if T4) 
d. Presacral lymphatic CTV is generated by contouring from mid S1-S5 
and 8 mm tissue anterior to the anterior border of the sacral bone 
e. The mesorectum and perirectal lymphatics CTV is generated by 
utilizing anatomic landmarks: 
i. Posterior Border: anterior border of the sacrum and gluteus 
maximus 
ii. Lateral Border: ileum, piriformis and obturator muscles 
iii. Anterior Border: should overlap by 1 cm into the bladder, 
vagina or prostate 
2. The PTV is generated by expanding all of the above structures by 0.5 
cm symmetrically and unifying them into one 3-dimensional volume for 
planning purposes. 
3. Examples of contoured patients are available for review on the RTOG 
website at http://www.rtog.org/CoreLab/ContouringAtlases/Anorectal.aspx. 
These examples are an excellent resource for the contouring of normal 
structures as well as GTV, CTV and PTV design. 
4. PTV planning dose-volume constraints: 
a. ≥ 98% of the PTV receives ≥ 93% of the prescribed dose 
b. ≤ 10% of the PTV receives ≥ 105% of the prescribed dose 
c. ≤ 5% of the PTV receives ≥ 110% of the prescribed dose 
d. None of the PTV is to receive ≥ 115% of the prescribed dose 
b. Critical Structures (IMRT Planning Constraints) 
i. Small bowel: 
1. No more than 180 cc above 35 Gy 
2. No more than 100 cc above 40 Gy 
3. No more than 65 cc above 45 Gy 
4. No small bowel volume should receive 50 Gy 
ii. Femoral heads: 
1. No more than 40% volume above 40 Gy 
3. No more than 25% volume above 45 Gy 
4. No femoral head volume should receive 50 Gy

4.4 Surgery:  
Surgery will be performed, according to standard institutional practices, 6-10 weeks after completion of 
radiation. 
5.0 TOXICITIES, DOSE MODIFICATIONS, AND MANAGEMENT 
Toxicities will be recorded as adverse events on the Adverse Event case report form and must be graded 
using The National Cancer Institute’s Common Toxicity Criteria (CTCAE) version 4.03 (Appendix C). 
5.1 General Principles: This is a phase I study of 5 ½  weeks of treatment with BYL719 combined with 
standard capecitabine and radiation. If a dose limiting toxicity occurs, BYL719 will be held until the 
toxicity reduces to < grade 1 at which point patients will be permanently dose reduced by 1 dose level.  
Patients may continue to receive their capecitabine and radiation as per institutional standard of care when 
toxicities resolve to < grade 2.   
IF RADIATION IS NOT GIVEN PATIENT IS TO BE INSTRUCTED TO NOT TAKE 
CAPECITABINE OR BYL719 DRUGS. See section 4.1 for more details on this. 
 
If treatment is held for more than 28 days, then patient should come off study.  
 
5.2 Definition of Dose Limiting Toxicities 
 
Grade 4 neutropenia (ANC < 500/mm3) 
 
ANC <1000/mm3 with fever (temp > 101) or infection 
 
Grade 4 thrombocytopenia: Platelets <25,000/mm3  
 
Platelets <50,000/mm3 requiring transfusion  
 
Grade 3 or 4 treatment related non-hematologic toxicities excluding alopecia. Grade 3 nausea, 
vomiting or diarrhea will only be considered a dose limiting toxicity if it occurs for greater than 
48 hours despite maximal medical support. Grade 3 electrolyte abnormalities will not be 
considered dose limiting toxicities if the electrolyte disorder can be corrected to grade 2 or less 
within 72 hours. A grade 4 electrolyte abnormality will be considered a DLT. 
 
Patients who receive < 67% of intended BYL719 or capecitabine secondary to treatment related 
toxicities will also be considered as having a DLT 
During the MTD dose finding portion, patients who are removed from study for reasons other than a 
DLT, defined in section 5.2, will be replaced. 
5.3 Management of Specific Toxicities are outlined below for all patients: most conservative 
assessments must be used for management and modification:  
If a dose limiting toxicity occurs, BYL719 will be held until the toxicity reduces to < grade 1 at which 
point patients will be permanently dose reduced by 1 dose level.  Patients may continue to receive their 
capecitabine and radiation as per institutional standard of care when toxicities resolve to < grade 2.   
If treatment is held for more than 28 days, then patient should come off study.  
 
During the MTD dose finding portion, patients who are removed from study for reasons other than a 
DLT, defined in section 5.2, will be replaced.

For toxicities other than dose limiting toxicities, specific dose adjustments, based on the worst 
preceding toxicity as graded by the NCI Clinical Toxicity Criteria ([NCI-CTCAE version 4.03]), are 
described below. A maximum of 1 dose reduction of BYL719 from the starting dose may be allowed.  
 
Missed doses of BYL 719 are not made up and BYL719 will be stopped when radiation is 
completed.

*LFTs include albumin, ALT, AST, total bilirubin (fractionated if total bilirubin > 2.0 x ULN), alkaline 
phosphatase (fractionated if alkaline phosphatase is grade 2 or higher) and GGT. For patients with Gilbert 
Syndrome: total and direct bilirubin must be monitored, intensified monitoring applies to changes in direct 
bilirubin only; the monitoring includes the following LFTs: albumin, ALT, AST, total bilirubin (fractionated if 
total bilirubin > 2.0 x ULN), alkaline phosphatase (fractionated if alkaline phosphatase is grade 2 or higher) 
and GGT). 
Patients with grade 0 or 1 at screening experiencing ALT/AST/bilirubin increase ≥ grade 2 the liver function tests 
must be monitored weekly or more frequently if clinically indicated until resolved to ≤ grade 1. In case of any 
occurrence of ALT/AST/bilirubin increase ≥ grade 3 the liver function tests must be monitored weekly or more 
frequently if clinically indicated until resolved to ≤ grade 1; hereafter the monitoring should be continued every 
other week or more frequently if clinically indicated until the end of treatment with study medication. Patients 
who discontinued study treatment should be monitored weekly, including LFTs or more frequently if clinically 
indicated until resolved to ≤ grade 1 or stabilization (no CTCAE grade change over 4 weeks).

A diabetologist consultation should always be considered. 
For all grades: instruct patient to follow dietary guidelines 
according to local and/or institutional standards for 
management of diabetes mellitus (such as those provided by the 
American Diabetes Association) during the study , e.g. .small 
frequent meals, low carbohydrate content, high fiber, balancing 
carbohydrates over the course of the day;  three small meals and 2 
small snacks rather than one large meal 
Guidelines above are meant to be adjusted as per investigator’s 
best clinical judgment. A diabetologist consultation should always 
be considered. Based on current experience, hyperglycemia usually 
resolves within a few days after BYL719 omission; temporary 
omission of BYL719 may be considered as clinically indicated to 
improve control of hyperglycemia. 
Special attention should be paid to the risk of hypoglycemias in 
patients interrupting BYL719 treatment and receiving insulin or 
sulfonylurea.

needed. 
• Consider exploratory skin biopsy  
“Active” skin toxicities:  If there are no new lesions or new areas of involvement developing, and if lesion appearance is 
changing color from red to pale or light brown, it is likely the skin toxicity has begun to fade and is not to be 
considered “active” any longer. Treatment reduction can be considered for these areas. The appearance of skin 
toxicity may fade slowly, over 10 days or more but not requiring ongoing therapy.

developed pneumonitis should suspend study treatment with BYL719 (alpelisib) immediately and undergo 
appropriate imaging (high resolution CT scan); and broncho-alveolar lavage and biopsy should be 
considered if clinically appropriate. Infectious causes of interstitial lung disease should be ruled out. 
Investigators should follow institutional practice for management of pneumonitis which generally includes 
treatment with high dose corticosteroids; antibiotic therapy should be administered concurrently if 
infectious causes are suspected. Consultation with a pulmonologist is highly recommended for any 
pneumonitis case during the study treatment. BYL719 (alpelisib), capecitabine and radiation (if suspected 
to be etiologically related to the AE of pneumonitis) should be permanently discontinued in all patients 
with confirmed pneumonitis. 
Consultation with a pulmonologist is highly recommended for any pneumonitis case during the 
study treatment. 
If the pneumonitis is confirmed to be study drug related, BYL719 must be discontinued.

Guidelines for the treatment of BYL719 induced stomatitis/oral mucositis 
General guidance and management include patient awareness and early intervention. Evaluation 
for herpes virus or fungal infection should be considered.  
Patients should be informed about the possibility of developing mouth ulcers/ oral mucositis and 
instructed to report promptly any signs or symptoms to their Investigator,

Patients should be educated about good oral hygiene, instructed to avoid spicy/acidic/salty foods, 
and should follow the following guidelines:  
 
For mild toxicity (grade 1), use conservative measures such as non-alcoholic mouth 
wash or salt water (0.9%) mouth wash several times a day until resolution. 
 
For more severe toxicity (grade 2 in which case patients have pain but are able to 
maintain adequate oral alimentation, or grade 3 in which case patients cannot maintain 
adequate oral alimentation), the suggested treatments are topical analgesic mouth 
treatments (i.e., local anesthetics such as benzocaine, butyl aminobenzoate, tetracaine 
hydrochloride, menthol, or phenol) with or without topical corticosteroids, such as 
triamcinolone oral paste 0.1% (Kenalog in Orabase®). 
 
Agents containing alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, iodine, and thyme derivatives may tend 
to worsen mouth ulcers. It is preferable to avoid these agents. 
Antifungal agents should be avoided unless a fungal infection is diagnosed as they may interfere 
with BYL719 metabolism (see Section Concomitant Medications). 
Although preclinical experiments demonstrated that alpelisib have no potential phototoxic effect, it is 
recommended to caution patients to avoid sun exposure during treatment with alpelisib, especially when 
they already have experienced rash or other skin toxicities. Patients should be advised to take measures to 
protect themselves from direct exposure to sunlight, including the wearing of sunglasses as well as the 
regular use of sunscreen, hats, long-sleeve shirts and long pants when outdoors. 
 
Guidelines for the treatment of BYL719 induced skin toxicity 
Skin toxicity is a class-effect adverse event observed with PI3Ki/mTORi agents.  
Close monitoring of potential skin reactions should be performed at each planned visit and should be 
reported as adverse event. The most frequent skin adverse events reported are: maculopapular rash (only a 
minority present acneiform rash) pruritus and dry skin. The onset is typically within the first 2 months of 
treatment start and is reversible with adequate co-medication and treatment interruption if needed. Skin 
reactions may fade slowly over 10 days or more and may not require ongoing concomitant therapy. If there 
are no new lesions or new areas of involvement developing, and if the appearance is changing color from 
red to pale or light brown, it is likely the eruption has begun to fade, i.e. not considered active any longer. 
Consultation with a dermatologist is highly recommended for better assessment and management of 
BYL719-induced skin toxicity. Photographs of skin rashes events as well as skin biopsy, if possible, are 
recommended. According to the Investigator’s discretion, a paired skin biopsy could be obtained (from 
both an affected and an unaffected skin area for local histopathology assessment) to further assess rash if 
clinically appropriate. At the Investigator’s discretion, non-sedating antihistamines (e.g. cetirizine (Zyrtec©) 
once daily) may be used as prophylactic treatment to reduce severity of rash, especially for patients with a 
history of hypersensitivity reactions like seasonal allergies, hay fever, allergic asthma or drug induced 
exanthema. 
Consultation with a dermatologist is highly recommended for better assessment and management of 
BYL719-induced skin toxicity.

Recommended therapies for skin toxicity events include: 
 
Topical steroids of Moderate Potency (face and folds): triamcinolone 0.025%; 
aclometasone 0.05% (<8 weeks continuously) 
 
Topical steroids of high potency (trunk/extremities): fluocinonide 0.05%; clobetasol 
0.05% cream or spray (<8 weeks continuously) 
 
In case of burning, stinging, pruritus: oral antihistamines (sedating, evening): 
diphenhydramine 25-50mg tid; hydroxizine 25mg tid or q.i.d 
 
Oral antihistamines (non-sedating, day time): fexofenadine 180mg QD or 60mg TID 
(monitor the use of this class of drugs since skin toxicity has also been reported) 
 
Low dose oral corticosteroids, e.g. 20-40mg q.d: prednisone or equivalent up to 10 days 
of treatment 
 
If lesions are still not controlled with all of the above, consideration can be given to the use of: 
o Topical antibiotics: clindamycin 1 - 2%; erythromycin 1% -2% (gel or solution 
formulation can be used, ointments cannot be used); metronidazole 1%; silver 
sulphadiazine 
o Oral 
antibiotics: 
doxycycline 
100mg 
bd; 
minocycline 
100mg 
bd; 
oxytetracycline 500mg bd 
o Topical antipruritics (pramoxine 1%, doxepin 5% cream) applied twice daily 
o GABA Agonists: Gabapentin 300mg every 8 hours Pregabalin 50-75 mg every 
8 hours (to adjust of renal impairment). Depending on patient’s clinical 
condition be of potential and common side effects observed with GABA 
agonists such as: somnolence, dizziness (both drugs) and peripheral edema 
(Gabapentin) among others AEs. 
Dry skin has been reported, it is recommended that patients with dry skin use mild and fragrance 
free soaps and detergents. According to the severity and BSA extension patients may apply mild 
moisturizers, ammonium lactate cream 12% for example. 
Although preclinical experiments demonstrated that BYL719 have no potential phototoxic 
effect, it is recommended to caution patients to avoid sun exposure during treatment with 
BYL719, especially when they already have experienced rash or other skin toxicities. Patients 
should be advised to take measures to protect themselves from direct exposure to sunlight, 
including the wearing of sunglasses as well as the regular use of sunscreen, hats, long-sleeve 
shirts and long pants when outdoors. 
As outlined in Investigator Brochure version 10, dated July 12, 2017:  
 
In combination studies, there have been two suspected cases of Stevens-Johnson-Syndrome (SJS) and two 
suspected cases of Erythema (EM) as of the cut-off date of the IB. All patients recovered from Stevens-
Johnson-Syndrome/Erythema multiforme upon permanent discontinuation of BYL719. 
 
As for other skin toxicities, a dermatologist consult is recommended. Any patent experiencing a severe 
cutaneous reaction should be permanently discontinued and not re-challenged with BYL719 treatment.

Guidelines for the treatment of BYL719 induced hyperglycemia 
BYL719, like other PI3K inhibitors, may affect glucose homeostasis which could result in increases of 
plasma glucose and insulin resistance (Busaidy 2012)36. BYL719 induced hyperglycemia is generally 
manageable with adequate antidiabetic treatment. BYL719 induced hyperglycemia typically occurs within 
the first month of treatment. Patients with pre-diabetes ( i.e. FPG 100 – 125 mg/dl; 5.6 - 6.9 mmol/L) and 
those with an established diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus should be monitored carefully, thus allowing 
an early detection and prompt management of increases in FPG while on BYL719treatment. However all 
patients, even those with FPG within normal limits at screening, may develop BYL719 induced 
hyperglycemia. Patients should always be instructed to follow dietary guidelines provided by the American 
Diabetes Association, e.g. small frequent meals, low carbohydrate content, high fiber, balancing 
carbohydrates over the course of the day; three small meals and 2 small snacks rather than one large meal 
and exercise, as appropriate. 
Detailed guidelines for management of BYL719 induced hyperglycemia include use of appropriate anti-
diabetic treatment as is provided in the Table in section 5.3. following assessment by the treating physician. 
This includes early administration of metformin. Metformin may be titrated to a daily dose of 1000 mg 
BID. Local protocols per standard clinical practice may be followed. Fasting plasma glucose may be 
performed both locally and/or centrally for rapid availability for safety evaluation and management 
guidance. Special attention should be paid to the risk of hypoglycemia in patients interrupting alpelisib 
treatment and concomitantly receiving insulin and/or sulfonylureas. 
***These guidelines are meant to be adjusted as per investigator’s best judgment and after 
consultation with Novartis medical team. A diabetologist consultation should always be 
considered.*** 
Guidelines for the treatment of BYL719 induced diarrhea 
Mild to moderate diarrhea has been reported within the ongoing studies of single-agent BYL719 and 
buparlisib. In order to effectively manage diarrhea and mitigate the escalation in severity or duration of 
diarrhea, patient education as well as proper management of diarrhea is mandatory. The following section 
outlines the recommended algorithm for management and treatment of BYL719 and buparlisib-induced 
diarrhea (Benson et al 2004; Kornblau et al 2000; Wadler et al 1998)37-39. 
The algorithm for treatment for diarrhea management is based on (Wadler et al 1998; Kornblau et al 2000)38-
39. 
Patient history of diarrhea 
At screening, the patient’s history of diarrhea should be reviewed and the patient should be appropriately 
informed of potential study drug-induced diarrhea and its management: 
 
Review previous medical history of diarrhea within the last 12 months; laxative use, colon surgery, 
abdominal and pelvic irradiation, nocturnal diarrhea, pain, ulcerative colitis and other diarrhea-
inducing diseases/conditions; 
 
Stop all diarrheogenic agents at screening if possible, otherwise exclude from trial;

 
Instruct patients regarding risk of developing diarrhea; 
 
Perform baseline clinical/laboratory studies according to the trial protocol (e.g. one could rule out 
carrier state of Salmonella spp., Clostridium difficile, Campylobacter spp., Giardia, Entamoeba, 
Cryptosporidium which can lead to opportunistic infections in immunosuppressed patients); 
 
Explain the frequency of diarrhea and its relationship to NCI CTCAE grading  
First report of diarrhea 
 
Obtain history of onset and duration of diarrhea 
 
Description of number of stools and stool composition (e.g. watery, blood, mucus in stool) 
 
Assess patient for fever, abdominal pain, cramps, distension, bloating, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, 
weakness (i.e., rule out risk for sepsis, bowel obstruction, dehydration) 
 
Obtain medication profile (i.e., to identify any diarrheogenic agents) and dietary profile (i.e., to 
identify diarrhea-enhancing foods) 
Proactively look for occurrence of diarrhea. If no problems occur, instruct the patient to call when a problem 
does arise. 
General recommendations: 
 
Stop all lactose-containing products, alcohol 
 
Stop laxatives, bulk fiber (e.g. Metamucil®) and stool softeners (e.g. docusate sodium, Colace®) 
 
Stop high-osmolar food supplements such as Ensure Plus® and Jevity Plus® (with fiber) 
 
Drink 8 to 10 large glasses of clear liquids per day (e.g. water, Pedialyte®, Gatorade®, broth) 
 
Eat frequent small meals (e.g. bananas, rice, apple sauce, toast) 
It is recommended that patients are provided with loperamide tablets at the start of each cycle. Patients 
should be instructed on the use of loperamide at first dose in order to manage signs or symptoms of 
diarrhea at home. Patients should be instructed to start oral loperamide at the first sign of loose stool 
or symptoms of abdominal pain. At the beginning of each cycle, each patient should be specifically 
questioned regarding any experience of diarrhea or diarrhea related symptoms. If symptoms were 
experienced, then the site should question the patient regarding the actions taken for these symptoms. 
Intensive management of diarrhea must be instituted at the first sign of abdominal cramping, loose 
stools or overt diarrhea. Note that all concomitant therapies used for treatment of diarrhea must be 
recorded on the Concomitant Medications/Non-drug Therapies section of the patient record. 
Loperamide should be the first-line treatment of diarrhea (any Grade) in this recommended algorithm. 
Persistent symptoms may require the administration of high dose loperamide followed by treatment 
with second-line agents such as opium tincture and octreotide acetate, based on severity and duration 
of diarrhea and related signs/symptoms. Another first-line treatment for diarrhea is diphenoxylate 
hydrochloride/atropine sulfate. This medication may be used in place of loperamide, however it is 
important to note that loperamide and diphenoxylate hydrochloride/atropine sulfate must not be used 
in conjunction with one another due to the risk of developing paralytic ileus. Upon treatment with any 
antidiarrheal agents, the patient’s response to treatment should be observed and appropriately 
documented in the source document and within the patient record.

Diarrhea grade 1 or 2 
Diarrhea CTCAE grade 1 or 2 will be treated as per institutional standard of care taking into account 
the recommendations, which are with standard loperamide (initial at first administration 4 mg, then 2 
mg every 4 hrs (maximum of 16 mg/day) or after each unformed stool). 
12-24 hrs later: 
Diarrhea resolved 
 
Continue instructions for dietary modification 
 
Gradually add solid foods to diet 
 
Discontinue loperamide after 12 hrs diarrhea-free interval 
 
Diarrhea unresolved 
Persisting diarrhea grade 1 or 2 can be treated with addition of opium tincture or dihydrocodeine 
tartrate tablets/injections with monitoring of patients condition to rule out dehydration, sepsis, ileus) 
medical check and selected workup if patient does not need hospitalization (see section Diarrhea 
workup and additional test in the particular trial protocol). Observe patient for response to antidiarrheal 
treatment. 
After 12-24 hrs: 
Diarrhea resolved 
 
Continue instructions for dietary modification 
 
Gradually add solid foods to diet 
 
Discontinue loperamide and/or other treatment after 12 hrs diarrhea-free interval 
Diarrhea unresolved 
 
If diarrhea still persisting (CTCAE grades 1 and 2), after 2x 24 hrs with high dose loperamide and 
opiates then admit to hospital and employ measures as for CTCAE grade 3 and 4 until diarrhea 
resolved. 
 
If diarrhea still persisting and progressed to CTCAE grades 3 and 4, employ measures described 
below. 
Treatment of diarrhea CTCAE grade 3 or 4 
Severe or persisting diarrhea CTCAE grade 3 or 4 may be treated with hospitalization, high dose 
loperamide (initial 4 mg, then 2 mg every 2 hrs and addition of opium tincture or dihydrocodeine tartrate 
tablets/injections, start of IV fluids and antibiotics as needed with monitoring of patients condition (to 
rule out dehydration, sepsis, ileus) medical check and workup (see section Diarrhea workup and 
additional test in the particular trial protocol). Observe patient for response. 
 
Grade 4 treatment related diarrhea is considered a DLT. Grade 3 diarrhea will only be 
considered a dose limiting toxicity if it occurs despite maximal medical support (See section 
5.2)

After 12-24 hrs: 
 
If diarrhea persisting administer s.c. Sandostatin/octreotide (100-500 µg tid) 
 
Continue IV fluids and antibiotics as needed 
 
If diarrhea CTCAE grade 3 or 4 still persists patients should receive opium tincture or dihydrocodeine 
tartrate injections s.c. or i.m. 
 
If diarrhea CTCAE grade 3 or 4 is still persisting s.c. Sandostatin/octreotide (500-1000 µg TID) 
should be administered. 
 
To control and/or resolve diarrhea, next cycle of treatment should be delayed by 1 or 2 weeks. 
Treatment should be continued only when diarrhea resolved. 
Diarrhea workup 
Perform appropriate tests (Fine et al 1999)40. 
Spot stool analysis 
 
Collect stool separating it from urine (special containers, analysis immediately, exceptionally freeze 
samples) 
 
Blood 
 
Fecal leukocytes (Wright's staining and microscopy) or 
 
Clostridium difficile toxin 
 
Fecal cultures including Salmonella spp., Campylobacter spp., Giardia, Entamoeba, Cryptosporidium 
(which can lead to opportunistic infections in immunosuppressed patients), plus Shigella and 
pathogenic E. coli - enterotoxigenic, enterohemorrhagic etc., possibly Aeromonas, Pleisiomonas (if 
suspected exposure to contaminated water) 
Endoscopic examinations 
Endoscopic examinations may be considered only if absolutely necessary. The bowel is likely to be fragile 
with evidence of colitis and thus great care and caution must be exercised in undertaking these invasive 
procedures. 
 
Gastroscopy to obtain jejunal fluid - re. bacterial overgrowth for cultures and biopsy of 
proximal jejunum to assess extent of inflammatory jejunitis 
 
Sigmoidoscopy - reassessment of colitis

A- CT Scan or MRI or PET scan for disease assessment to be performed within 56 days of study entry/registration. Report sent to 
BrUOG. A transrectal ultrasound may also be used for staging and if performed report sent to BrUOG. If this were performed at 
initial diagnosis it does not need to be repeated prior to study entry. Imaging post drug to be done approximately 4 weeks post 
radiation. +/- 2 week window provided. If Investigator orders imaging outside of this window rationale to be documented and 
submitted to BrUOG. Follow-up scans to be ordered as per institutional practice but are required to be sent to BrUOG with 
RECIST when completed. It is required that imaging that defined progression be sent to BrUOG as date of progression will be 
captured. Concern of pneumonitis or patients with respiratory changes, to be handled as per section 5.3 for chest imaging and 
monitoring. Chest imaging is not required to be done at end of treatment or follow up unless the patient symptoms of progression 
or toxicity such as pneumonitis. If however chest imaging is performed it must be submitted to BrUOG. Chest X-Ray may be 
used to substitute CT or MRI of chest. 
B- EKG within 56 days of study entry. Report to be sent to BrUOG at registration.. ECHO or MUGA report with clear 
documentation of LVEF to be submitted. EKG also required to be done during week 3 of treatment and report to be sent to 
BrUOG. EKG, MUGA or ECHO to be ordered baseline and then as clinically indicated should patient develop new cardiac 
symptoms or at discretion of treating MD(report submitted to BrUOG).

C- The operative note and pathology note will be sent to BrUOG. Documentation of post op complications to be submitted to 
BrUOG as well.  
D post-menopausal women (surgical menopause or lack of menses >12 months) do not need to have a pregnancy test, document 
status. If HCG is not drawn, sites are asked to document menopausal status on lab form.  
E It is appropriate to use labs from screening for day 1, if labs are within 14 days. It is appropriate to use physical, weight, vitals, 
toxicity assessment, concomitant medication, performance status from screening for day 1 if within 14 days. Labs and 
assessments for all subsequent cycles are to occur within (-)3 days prior to day 1 of treatment of each week. This means that if 
RT and BYL719 begin on a Monday, the week of treatment is M-Sunday and therefore labs are to be done within (-) 3 days prior 
to dosing/treatment Monday. An additional day is provided for a holiday so that if there is a Monday holiday, assessments can be 
done on Friday to cover both BYL719 treatment Monday and Radiation Tuesday. 
F Adverse event evaluation will be done 2 and 4 weeks (30 days post last dose) and SAEs will be captured for 30 days post last 
dose of study drug, capecitabine or last radiation treatment, whichever ends last. If AE evaluation cannot be done exactly 30 days 
post last treatment (radiation, capecitabine or study drug, whatever is the last date of treatment), a one week window is provided 
(+1 week). SAEs occurring outside this 30 day window must be reported if the event is considered to be possibly related to the 
drug. If a patient begins a new treatment, AE evaluation will be stopped unless the patient experiences an event (AE or SAE) that 
is thought to be possibly related to the study treatment. BrUOG must be made aware of new treatment with start date .  
G Physical exam to be done in coordination with 30 day AE assessment only (+ 1 week window), No physical exams are 
required post 30 day post last dose of drug assessment. 
H Biopsy for histologic confirmation of rectal cancer can be performed anytime pre-study (diagnostic biopsy).Assessment of 
PIK3CA status can be performed retrospectively, for example as part of the Lifespan pathology standard colorectal gene panel. 
PIK3CA or results of any mutation status not required at study enrollment unless already run. Once available, report of PIK3CA 
and tumor mutation status to be sent to BrUOG. While biopsy is required at registration, mutation result not required at baseline. 
I Secondary to section 5.3 table and fasting labs , Friday lab draws/treatments should be avoided. HbA1c is required 
screening/baseline for registration then week 3 pre-drug and with EOT/2 week off labs. 
J BrUOG will be notified every 6 months (+/- 2 months) for 2 years the disease-free and overall survival status. 
 
7.0 RESPONSE ASSESSMENT: 
Measurement of Response  
Note: The primary endpoint of this study is safety. Measurable or assessable disease is not required 
in this study, but for patients who do have measurable disease, measurements must be submitted to 
BrUOG at baseline and RECIST to be used throughout to assess response. Radiographic response 
will be recorded when available but is not a primary endpoint.  
 
Patient’s without measurable disease at baseline: To be followed for survival. Progression and 
response can be defined as clinical progression, the appearance of one or more new lesions and tumor 
burden at baseline to be used for assessment and measurement for objective response by treating MD.   
  
Response will be evaluated in this study using the international criteria proposed in the Revised Response 
Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Guideline version 1.1 [Eur J Cancer. 2009;45:228-247.]  
See http://ctep.cancer.gov/protocolDevelopment/docs/recist_guideline.pdf?  further details. 
Measurable disease: Measurable lesions are defined as those that can be accurately measured in at least 
one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded) as ≥20 mm by chest x-ray, as ≥10 mm with CT scan, or 
≥10 mm with calipers by clinical exam.  All tumor measurements must be recorded in millimeters (or 
decimal fractions of centimeters). 
Non-measurable disease: All other lesions (or sites of disease), including small lesions (longest diameter 
<10 mm or pathological lymph nodes with ≥ 10 to <15 mm short axis).

PHARMACEUTICAL INFORMATION 
9.1 BYL719:  
9.1.1 Drug Class: BYL719 is an oral small-molecule inhibitor of the p110α catalytic subunit of PI3K, 
which is encoded by the PIK3CA gene, 
9.1.2 Supply: BYL719 (alpelisib)  will be supplied by Novartis 
9.1.3 Pharmaceutical Form: BYL719 (alpelisib)  will be provided as film-coated tablets  in 200mg and 
50 mg strengths for once daily administration. 
9.1.4 Storage: The storage conditions are provided on the label(s) of the clinical supplies.  
Do not store above 25°C (77°F). Protect from moisture. Protect from light. . Based on ongoing stability 
data, the storage conditions may be reconsidered, as appropriate. 
 
9.1.5 Toxicities: Dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) of single agent studies with BYL719 were 
hyperglycemia, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. The most common BYL719-related adverse events 
regardless of relationship were nausea (64.2%), decreased appetite (59.7%), 
diarrhoea (58.2%), hyperglycaemia (56.7%), vomiting (49.3%), fatigue (46.3%), aneamia 29.1%), 
stomatitis (23.1%), weight decreased (22.4%) and asthenia, oedema peripheral and headache (20.9% 
each) and asthenia (20.1%). 
 
A reported by Novartis in Investigator Brochure edition 10, overall 13 on-treatment deaths (9.7%) were 
reported (in the study CBYL719X2101 single agent trial), including nine deaths (13.8%) at the MTD dose 
level of 400mg, three deaths (37.5%) at 300mg and one death (6.7%) at 150mg b.i.d.. No deaths were 
reported in the 30 mg, 60 mg, 90 mg, 180 mg, 270 mg, 350 mg, 450 mg, 120 mg bid, and 200 mg bid 
treatment groups. Of these 13 deaths, 12 deaths were reported due to disease progression and one death 
due to hypoxia. 
None of these deaths were suspected to be related to the study drug. 
 
Hyperglycaemia appears early on, within the first two cycles of treatment with a peak around treatment 
day 8-10 and is well managed with oral anti-diabetic drugs like metformin or pioglitazones. Occasionally, 
insulin might also be needed for a short period of time to successfully control the hyperglycemia induced 
by BYL719. BYL719 induced hyperglycemia is usually reversible and may or may not be  accompanied 
by clinical symptoms. The first manifestation of hyperglycaemia may be assessed by lab values only.   
 
According to the Novartis safety database there has also been two hyperglycaemia-related events 
considered life-threatening and reported as hyperglycaemic hyperosmolar nonketotic syndrome  
(suspected to be drug-related), and one event reported as diabetic ketoacidosis (suspected to be drug-
related).  The one hyperglycaemic hyperosmolar nonketotic syndrome was reported in study 
CLEE011X2107 (phase Ib/II, combination of ribociclib and alpeslisib with letrozole) 265 days after

initiation of therapy, following episodes of elevated blood sugar level. Upon insulin therapy and 
interruption of BYL719, the patient fully recovered. The diabetic ketoacidosis event was also reported in 
the still blinded SOLAR-1 study fourteen days after initiation of therapy in the context of a urinary tract 
infection in a patient with an existing history of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Upon discontinuation with study 
medication, insulin therapy and other related measures, the patient fully recovered. 
 
9.1.6 Drug Administration: See detailed information in section 4.1 
9.1.7 Drug Interactions: See detailed information in section 4.2  
9.2 Capecitabine  
9.2.1 Mechanism of Action: Capecitabine is an oral prodrug of 5-fluorouracil. Metabolized in the liver to 
5'-deoxy-fluorocytidine, subsequently converted to 5'-deoxy-5-fluorouridine which is then hydrolyzed to 
5-fluorouracil (active). Peak plasma levels occur in 90 minutes, and elimination half-life is 45 minutes. 
9.2.2 Supply: Capecitabine is commercially available.  
9.2.3 Pharmaceutical Form: Capecitabine is supplied as a biconvex, oblong film-coated tablet for oral 
administration as 500 mg and 150 mg tablets. 
9.2.4 Storage: Tablets should be stored at controlled room temperature (25°C) in tightly closed containers 
with excursions to 15-30°C permitted 
9.2.5 Toxicities: Common side effects from capecitabine include diarrhea (which may be severe), 
dermatologic effects (hand-and-foot syndrome referred to as palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia), 
hematologic effects (neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, anemia and lymphopenia), weight gain, 
gastrointestinal effects (diarrhea, nausea, vomiting stomatitis, abdominal pain and constipation). 
Uncommon side effects include hepatotoxicitiy (hyperbilirubinemia). Rare side effects may include 
cardiovascular effects (myocardial infarction, dysrhythmias, cardiomyopathy). 
9.2.6 Administration: Food delays the time to peak plasma level by about 90 minutes, and reduces the 
peak plasma concentration about 60%. Despite the effects of food on capecitabine pharmacokinetics, the 
manufacturer recommends giving the drug at the end of a meal because established safety and efficacy data 
are based on administration with food. The capecitabine daily dose is given orally in two divided doses 
(approximately 12 hours apart) at the end of a meal. The tablets should be taken with water.  
9.2.7 Potential Drug Interactions: 
 
Antacids 
The administration of 20 mL of an antacid containing aluminum hydroxide and magnesium 
hydroxide may result in an increase in the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) and 
maximum concentration (Cmax) of capecitabine of 16% and 35%, respectively.  These changes 
were not considered clinically significant. 
Oral Anticoagulants  
Altered coagulation parameters and/or bleeding, including death, have been reported in patients 
receiving capecitabine and coumarin-derivative anticoagulants. Post marketing reports have 
revealed clinically significant increases in prothrombin time (PT) and INR in patients who were

stabilized on anticoagulants when capecitabine was initiated. These events occurred within 
several days to several months after concurrent therapy was initiated. Patients receiving 
capecitabine and an oral anticoagulant should be closely and regularly monitored. 
Phenytoin 
Some patients receiving capecitabine and phenytoin may experience phenytoin toxicity as a result 
of increased phenytoin plasma levels. Phenytoin levels should be closely monitored in patients 
taking concomitant phenytoin and capecitabine. The dose of phenytoin may need to be reduced. 
CYP2C9 Substrate 
Caution should be used when capecitabine is coadministered with drugs known to be CYP2C9 
substrate. 
10.0 
AGENT ACCOUNTABILITY 
Investigational Agent Inventory Records – The investigator, or a responsible party designated by the 
investigator, must maintain a careful record of the inventory and disposition of all BYL719 using a Drug 
Accountability Record Form.  Sites may utilize the NCI drug accountability form. Sites must track lot 
numbers, expiration dates and inventory. Sites must submit to BrUOG accountability logs during the 
study and prior to destruction. To be able to destroy drug, sites must contact BrUOG who will obtain 
approval from Novartis prior to destruction. 
 
10.1 Treatment Compliance 
 
Records of BYL719 and capecitabine used, dosages administered, and intervals between visits will be 
recorded during the study. Drug accountability will be noted. 
 
All drugs will be administered to eligible patients under the supervision of the investigator or identified 
sub-investigator(s). The pharmacist will maintain records of drug receipt drug preparation, and dispensing, 
including the applicable lot numbers. Any discrepancy between the calculated dose and dose administered 
and the reason for the discrepancy must be recorded in the source documents. 
 
11.0 ADVERSE DRUG REACTION (ADR) REPORTING 
BrUOG considers the SAE reporting period to begin when the subject signs the study specific informed 
consent. 
 
This study will utilize the descriptions and grading scales found in the NCI Common Terminology 
Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.03 for grading all adverse events. All appropriate 
treatment areas should have access to a copy of the CTCAE version 4.03. A copy of the CTCAE version 
4.03 can be downloaded from the CTEP web site (http://ctep.cancer.gov).  
 
An Adverse Event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical 
investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily have to have a 
causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign 
(including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of 
BYL719 ® whether or not considered related to BYL719 ®. This includes any newly occurring event or 
previous condition that has increased in severity or frequency since the administration of drug.

During clinical trials, adverse events can be spontaneously reported or elicited during open-ended 
questioning, examination, or evaluation of a subject. (In order to prevent reporting bias, subjects should 
not be questioned regarding the specific occurrence of one or more adverse events.) 
 
Adverse events (AEs) will be recorded in the case report form for the duration of the trial, regardless of 
whether or not the event(s) are considered related to trial medication. All AEs considered related to trial 
medication will be followed until resolution even if this occurs post-trial. 
 
11.1 Definitions 
An adverse event is any new, undesirable medical experience or change of an existing condition that 
occurs during or after treatment, whether or not considered product-related. 
 
Serious adverse event (SAE) 
Serious adverse event (SAE) is defined as one of the following: 
 
Is fatal or life-threatening 
 
Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity 
 
Constitutes a congenital anomaly/birth defect 
 
Is medically significant, i.e., defined as an event that jeopardizes the patient or may 
require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above 
 
Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, unless 
hospitalization is for: 
o Routine treatment or monitoring of the studied indication, not associated with 
any deterioration in condition such as the need for inpatient radiation due to 
difficulties in transportation. 
o Elective or pre-planned treatment for a pre-existing condition that is unrelated 
to the indication under study and has not worsened since signing the informed 
consent **This must be documented and submitted to BrUOG** 
o Treatment on an emergency outpatient basis for an event not fulfilling any of 
the definitions of a SAE given above and not resulting in hospital admission 
o Social reasons and respite care in the absence of any deterioration in the 
patient’s general condition 
 
The definition of serious adverse event (experience) also includes important medical event. Medical and 
scientific judgment should be exercised in deciding whether expedited reporting is appropriate in other 
situations, such as important medical events that may not be immediately life-threatening or result in 
death or hospitalization but may jeopardize the patient or may require intervention to prevent one of the 
other outcomes listed in the definition above.  These should also usually be considered serious.  Examples 
of such events are intensive treatment in an emergency room or at home for allergic bronchospasm; blood 
dyscrasias or convulsions that do not result in hospitalization; or development of drug dependency or drug 
abuse. A new diagnosis of cancer during the course of treatment should be considered an important 
medical event. 
 
The definition of “related” being that there is a reasonable possibility that the drug caused the adverse 
experience.

or severity of which is not consistent with the investigator's brochure or package insert. 
 
Life-threatening 
Any adverse drug experience that places the patient or subject, in the view of the investigator, at 
immediate risk of death from the reaction as it occurred.  It does not include a reaction that, had it 
occurred in a more severe form, might have caused death. 
 
11.2 Monitoring of Adverse Events and Period of Observation 
Adverse events, both serious and non-serious, and deaths that occur during the patient’s study 
participation will be recorded in the source documents.  All SAEs should be monitored until they are 
resolved or are clearly determined to be due to a patient’s stable or chronic condition or intercurrent 
illness(es). 
 
11.3 BRUOG ADVERSE EVENT REPORTING REQUIREMENTS  
Investigators are required by Federal Regulation to report adverse drug reactions. Questions regarding 
drugs as used in this study should be directed to the Brown University Oncology Research Group 
(BrUOG) Central Office, Phone: (401) 863-3000 Fax (401) 863-3820, which will in turn notify the 
Principal Investigator. 
 
Intensity for each adverse event will be scored using CTCAE Version 4.03.  A copy of the CTCAE 
Version 4.03 can be downloaded from the CTEP homepage (http://ctep.info.nih.gov).  All appropriate 
treatment areas have access to a copy of the CTCAE Version 4.03.  All adverse clinical experiences, 
whether observed by the investigator or reported by the patient, must be recorded, with details about the 
duration and intensity of each episode, the action taken with respect to the test drug, and the patient’s 
outcome.  The investigator must evaluate each adverse experience for its relationship to the test drug and 
for its seriousness. 
 
11.3.1 Pregnancies 
Pregnancies 
To ensure patient safety, each pregnancy in a patient on study treatment must be reported to BrUOG 
by the site within 24 hours (1 business day) of learning of its occurrence and BrUOG will report to 
Novartis within 24 hours of learning of its occurrence. The pregnancy should be followed up to 
determine outcome, including spontaneous or voluntary termination, details of the birth, and the 
presence or absence of any birth defects, congenital abnormalities, or maternal and/or newborn 
complications. 
Pregnancy should be recorded on Medwatch 3500A and reported by the investigator to the oncology 
Novartis Drug Safety and Epidemiology (DS&E) department. Pregnancy follow-up should be 
recorded on the same form and should include an assessment of the possible relationship to the 
Novartis study treatment of any pregnancy outcome. Any SAE experienced during pregnancy must 
be reported on the SAE Report Form. Sites are also required to complete a MedWatch 3500 A SAE 
form as well.

Pregnancy outcomes must be collected for the female partners of any males who took study 
treatment in this study. Consent to report information regarding these pregnancy outcomes should 
be obtained from the mother. 
 
11.3.2 Reporting 
To ensure patient safety, every SAE, regardless of suspected causality, occurring after the patient has 
provided informed consent and until 30 days after the patient has stopped study treatment (radiation, 
capecitabine or study drug, whatever is the last date of treatment), or until the subject withdraws 
consent from study participation (declines participation) or at the time patient becomes a screen 
failure, whichever occurs first must be reported by BrUOG to Novartis within 24 hours (1 business 
day) of learning of its occurrence. 
 
Any SAEs experienced after this 30 days period should only be reported if the investigator suspects 
there may be a causal relationship to the study treatment. Recurrent episodes, complications, or 
progression of the initial SAE must be reported as follow-up to the original episode to BrUOG by the 
site, within 5 days of the investigator receiving the follow-up information. An SAE occurring at a 
different time interval or otherwise considered completely unrelated to a previously reported one 
should be reported separately as a new event. 
 
Information about all SAEs is collected and recorded on the MedWatch 3500A. When BrUOG 
submits the Medwatch 3500A form to Novartis, the Novartis Serious Adverse Event Report Form 
will also be completed and sent, and all applicable sections of the form will be completed in order to 
provide a clinically thorough report. The investigator must assess and record the relationship of each 
SAE to each specific study treatment (if there is more than one study treatment), complete MedWatch 
3500A form in English, within 5 days of being made aware of the event and BrUOG will then send 
the completed, signed Medwatch 3500A, and the Novartis SAE fax Report Form to the oncology 
Novartis Drug Safety and Epidemiology (DS&E) department within 24 hours (1 business day). 
 
The telefax number of the contact persons in the local department of Drug Safety and Epidemiology 
(DS&E) are listed in the investigator folder provided to BrUOG. The original copy of the Novartis 
SAE fax Report Form, MedWatch 3500A and the fax confirmation sheet must be kept with the case 
report form documentation at BrUOG. The fax number is 1-877-778-9739. 
 
Follow-up information is sent to the same contact(s) to whom the original/initial SAE was submitted. 
BrUOG again must send the Novartis SAE Report fax Form along with the site completed MedWatch 
3500A. The Medwatch 3500A must state that this is a follow-up to the previously reported SAE. 
Each re-occurrence, complication, or progression of the original event should be reported as a follow-
up to that event regardless of when it occurs. The follow-up information should describe whether the 
event has resolved or continues, if and how it was treated, whether the blind was broken or not, and 
whether the patient continued or withdrew from study participation. 
 
If the SAE is not previously documented in the Investigator’s Brochure or Package Insert (new 
occurrence) and is thought to be related to the Novartis study treatment, an oncology Novartis Drug 
Safety and Epidemiology (DS&E) department associate may urgently require further information 
from the investigator for Health Authority reporting. Novartis may need to issue an Investigator

Notification (IN), to inform all investigators involved in any study with the same drug that this SAE 
has been reported. Suspected Unexpected Serious Adverse Reactions (SUSARs) will be collected 
and reported to the competent authorities and relevant ethics committees in accordance with Directive 
2001/20/EC or as per national regulatory requirements in participating countries. 
 
Expedited Reporting by Investigator to Novartis 
Serious adverse events (SAE) are defined above.  All events must be reported, by FAX or email, to the 
Brown University Oncology Research Group who must inform Novartis in writing using a Medwatch 
3500A form and Novartis Serious Adverse Event fax Report Form, of any SAE within 1 business day 
of being aware of the event via site submitted signed MedWatch 3500A.  The initial report must be as 
complete as possible, including an assessment of the causal relationship between the event and the 
investigational product(s), if available.  Information not available at the time of the initial report (e.g., an 
end date for the adverse event or laboratory values received after the report) must be documented on a 
follow-up report.  A final report to document resolution of the SAE (such as discharge from hospital) is 
required. A copy of the fax transmission confirmation of the SAE report to Novartis should be attached to 
the SAE and retained with the study records at BrUOG.  
 
This includes serious, related, labeled (expected) and serious, related, unlabeled (unexpected) adverse 
experiences. All deaths during treatment or within 30 days following completion of active protocol 
therapy (radiation, capecitabine or study drug, whatever is the last date of treatment) must be reported to 
BrUOG within 5 days of the investigator being made aware of the event or as soon as the investigator is 
made aware of the event. If the death is thought to be related to the study drug, deaths must be reported to 
BrUOG within 24 hours of the investigator being made aware of the event. 
 
Any serious adverse event occurring after the patient has provided informed consent and until 4 weeks 
(30 days) after the patient has stopped study participation/treatment (radiation, capecitabine or study drug, 
whatever is the last date of treatment), or until the subject withdraws consent from study participation 
(declines participation) or at the time the patient becomes a screen failure, whichever occurs first, must be 
reported. This includes the period in which the study protocol interferes with the standard medical 
treatment given to a patient (e.g. treatment withdrawal during washout period, change in treatment to a 
fixed dose of concomitant medication). 
 
Serious adverse events occurring more than 4 weeks after study discontinuation (radiation, capecitabine 
or study drug, whatever is the last date of treatment) need only be reported if a relationship to the Novartis 
study drug (or therapy) is possibly suspected.  
For Comparator Drugs/Secondary Suspects (Concomitant Medications), all serious adverse experiences 
will be forwarded to the product manufacturer by the investigator. 
 
11.4 Reporting requirements and procedures depend upon: 
1. Whether investigational agents are suspected of causing toxicity; 
2. Whether the possibility of such a toxicity was reported in the protocol, consent form, or 
manufacturer’s literature (Expected toxicity); and  
3. The severity of grade of the toxicity.   
 
11.5 Assessing Causality: 
Investigators are required to assess whether there is a reasonable possibility that treatment caused or 
contributed to an adverse event.  The following general guidance may be used: 
 
Yes: if the temporal relationship of the clinical event to treatment administration makes a

causal relationship possible, and other drugs, therapeutic interventions or underlying conditions do not 
provide a sufficient explanation for the observed event. 
 
No: if the temporal relationship of the clinical event to treatment administration makes a  
causal relationship unlikely, or other drugs, therapeutic interventions or underlying conditions provide a 
sufficient explanation for the observed event.

provided to the FDA within 60-days of the IND anniversary date.  21 CRF 312.33 provides the data 
elements that are to be submitted in the report.  The Annual Report should be filed in the study's 
Regulatory Binder, and a copy provided to Novartis as a supporter of this study. 
 
11.9 Adverse event updates/IND safety reports External 
Novartis shall notify the Brown University Oncology Research Group (BrUOG) via an IND Safety 
Report of the following information: 
 
Any AE associated with the use of study drug in this study or in other studies that is both serious 
and unexpected. 
 
Any finding from tests in laboratory animals that suggests a significant risk for human subjects 
including reports of mutagenicity, teratogenicity, or carcinogenicity. 
 
BrUOG will then notify the sites who shall notify their IRB/EC promptly of these new serious and 
unexpected AE(s) or significant risks to subjects. 
 
12.0 REMOVAL OF PATIENTS FROM PROTOCOL THERAPY 
Extraordinary medical circumstances or withdrawal of consent by the patient: If, at any time, the constraints 
of this protocol are detrimental to the patient's health, and/or the patient no longer wishes to continue protocol 
therapy, the patient shall be withdrawn from protocol therapy.  Patients will also be withdrawn from study for 
the following reasons: 
1. Disease Progression: Any patient with disease progression should be removed from 
study.  Details and tumor measurements should be documented on flow sheets. 
2. Patient is unable to tolerate the toxicity resulting from the study treatment, even with optimal 
supportive care, in the opinion of the Treating Physician. Adverse event(s) that, in the judgment of the 
investigator, may cause severe or permanent harm or which rule out continuation of study drug.  
3. The physician feels it is in the best interest of the patient to stop the treatment. 
4. Inter current illness that would, in the judgment of the Investigator, affect assessment of clinical 
status to a significant degree or require discontinuation of study treatment 
5. Non protocol chemotherapy or immunotherapy is administered during the study 
6. Noncompliance with protocol or treatment—major violation 
7. Pregnancies or Suspected Pregnancies(including positive pregnancy test) 
8. Patient is lost to follow-up 
9. Patient refuses to continue treatment (patient will continue to be followed for disease-free 
survival and overall survival) 
10. Death 
 
In this event notify: 
Brown University Oncology Research Group (BrUOG) Central Office, 
Phone:  (401) 863-3000

up forms as dictated by the protocol 
13.0 FOLLOW-UP  
All Subjects that discontinue treatment early for any reason (not including screen fails or patient with 
withdraw consent/decline study participation) as well as patients who complete therapy will be followed 
for survival (up to 5 years). At treatment discontinuation, subjects will undergo adverse event evaluation 
and again approximately 2 weeks and 30 days post the last treatment (radiation, capecitabine or study 
drug, whatever is the last date of treatment). In addition off study evaluations will be done when treatment 
is discontinued -Section 6.0.   
14.0 REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS 
This research study is sponsored by the Principal Investigator, Dr. Howard Safran, in collaboration with 
Brown University Oncology Research Group (BrUOG), which will serve as the central coordinating 
office for the study. This study is supported by Novartis (the makers of BYL719). 
14.1 Protection of Human Subjects

14.3 Protocol amendments or changes in study conduct:  
Any change or addition (excluding administrative) to this protocol requires a written protocol amendment 
that must be reviewed and approved and created by Brown University Oncology Research Group, who 
will obtain approval by Novartis and the investigator before implementation. Amendments significantly 
affecting the safety of subjects, the scope of the investigation or the scientific quality of the study require 
additional approval by the IRB at each study center.  A copy of the written approval of the IRB must be 
provided to Brown University Oncology Research Group, and Novartis. 
These requirements for approval should in no way prevent any immediate action from being taken by the 
investigator or by Brown University Oncology Research Group and Novartis in the interests of preserving 
the safety of all patients included in the trial.  If an immediate change to the protocol is felt to be 
necessary by the investigator and is implemented for safety reasons Brown University Oncology Research 
Group and Novartis must be notified and the IRB at the center must be informed immediately. 
Amendments affecting only administrative aspects of the study do not require formal protocol 
amendments or IRB approval but the IRB must be kept informed of such administrative changes.  
Examples of administrative changes not requiring formal protocol amendments include: 
 
Changes in the staff used to monitor trials (Novartis considers a change in Principal Investigator 
or the addition of sub-site(s) to be substantial and requires Novartis approval prior to 
implementation) 
 
Minor changes in the packaging or labeling of study drug. 
 
15.0 DATA MONITORING / QUALITY ASSURANCE/ RECORD RETENTION 
15.1 Good Clinical Practice: The study will be conducted in accordance with the International 
Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) for Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and in the US Code of Federal 
Regulations.  The investigator will be thoroughly familiar with the appropriate use of the drug as 
described in the protocol and Investigator’s Brochure.  Essential clinical documents will be maintained to 
demonstrate the validity of the study and the integrity of the data collected.  Master files should be 
established at the beginning of the study, maintained for the duration of the study and retained according 
to the appropriate regulations.   
15.2 Patient Confidentiality: In order to maintain patient privacy, all data capture records, drug 
accountability records, study reports and communications will identify the patient by initials and the 
assigned patient number.  The investigator will grant monitor(s) and auditor(s) from Novartis or its 
designees and regulatory authority (ies) access to the patient’s original medical records for verification of 
data gathered on the data capture records and to audit the data collection process.  The patient’s 
confidentiality will be maintained and will not be made publicly available to the extent permitted by the 
applicable laws and regulations. 
15.3 Protocol Compliance: The investigator will conduct the study in compliance with the protocol 
given approval/favorable opinion by the IRB/IEC and the appropriate regulatory authority(ies).  Changes 
to the protocol will require approval from Novartis and written IRB/IEC approval/favorable opinion prior

inventory at the site (if applicable), use by each patient, and return to BrUOG prior to approval for 
disposal of the drug (if applicable and if approved by Novartis) will be maintained by the clinical site.  
Accountability records will include dates, quantities, lot numbers, expiration dates (if applicable), and 
patient numbers.   
All material containing BYL719 ® will be treated and disposed of as hazardous waste in accordance with 
governing regulations. 
15.6 Premature Closure of the Study: This study may be prematurely terminated, if in the opinion of 
the investigator or Novartis, there is sufficient reasonable cause.  Written notification documenting the 
reason for study termination will be provided to the investigator or Novartis by the terminating party.   
Circumstances that may warrant termination include, but are not limited to: 
 
Determination of unexpected, significant, or unacceptable risk to patients 
 
Failure to enter patients at an acceptable rate 
 
Insufficient adherence to protocol requirements 
 
Insufficient complete and/or evaluable data 
 
Plans to modify, suspend or discontinue the development of the drug 


16.0 DATA SAFETY AND MONITORING BOARDS 
All trials initiated by the Brown University Oncology Research Group (BrUOG) are subject to oversight 
by the Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB).  This board meets two times per year with any additional 
meetings scheduled when needed.  The responsibilities are as follows: 
 
Familiarize themselves with the research protocol (s)  
 
The DSMB reviews trial performance information such as accrual information.   
 
Review interim analyses of outcome data and cumulative toxicity data summaries to determine 
whether the trial should continue as originally designed, should be changed, or should be 
terminated based on these data.   
 
The DSMB also determines whether and to whom outcome results should be released prior to the 
reporting of study results. 
 
All adverse events are reviewed by the committee, with assurances that these have been in fact 
sent for review to all pertinent IRBs. 
 
Review of reports of related studies to determine whether the monitored study needs to be 
changed or terminated. 
 
Review major proposed modifications to the study prior to their implementation (e.g., 
termination, dropping an arm based on toxicity results or other reported trial outcomes, increasing 
target sample size). 
 
Following each DSMB meeting, provide the study leadership with written information 
concerning findings for the trial as a whole related to cumulative toxicities observed and any 
relevant recommendations related to continuing, changing, or terminating the trial.  
The study leadership will provide information on cumulative toxicities and relevant recommendations to 
the local principal investigators to be shared with their IRB’s. 
 
17.0 STATISTICS 
Sample Size Justification:   
Three patients will be accrued to level 1. If no dose limiting toxicities are observed following completion 
of BYL719, capecitabine and radiation, and once the 2 week post treatment completion assessment is 
performed, then accrual to level 2 will proceed. If a DLT is observed in one of the first 3 patients in a dose 
level, then accrual for that level will be expanded to 6 patients. Two or more instances of DLT in a cohort 
of 6 patients will result in the preceding dose level being defined as the MTD. After determination of the 
MTD, the final cohort will be expanded to treat a total of 24 patients on the entire study.  During the dose 
escalation phase, if 3 or more patients have a DLT or there is one grade 5 treatment-related serious adverse 
event that occurs, protocol accrual will be suspended. If this circumstance occurs, the Brown University 
Oncology Research Group data safety monitoring Chair will review the adverse event data and make

appropriate recommendations to the Brown University Oncology Research Group and the FDA about the 
study.Sample size: Approximately 24. 
Threshold To Bring BYL719 Forward With Capecitabine and Radiation in Rectal Cancer: The primary 
goal of this Brown University Oncology Research Group is to determine that a safe dose of BYL719 can 
be administered with capecitabine and radiation in patients with rectal cancer. Therefore, the threshold of 
success for this phase I study is to establish safety. In a subsequent NRG study, within the TNT framework, 
a randomized phase II study will be planned exclusively in patients with PIK3CA mutations to assess 
whether pathologic complete response is improved within this specific subgroup of patients.  
A patient will be considered inevaluable if they receive <67% of their total intended treatment (BYL719, 
Capecitabine or Radiation) for non-protocol required reasons.

drug BYL719. 
You are being asked to take part in this study because you have rectal cancer. Prior to surgery to remove 
rectal cancer, the standard treatment is to first receive radiation therapy together with the chemotherapy 
pill capecitabine. Radiation is given once-a-day, Monday through Friday, for 28 treatments over 
approximately 6 weeks. Capecitabine is a type of chemotherapy pill that is given twice-a-day on the 
radiation treatment days and makes the radiation more effective. The study will evaluate adding a pill 
called BYL719 (alpelisib) with standard radiation and capecitabine. BYL719 blocks a cancer growth 
pathway called PI3K which may stimulate rectal cancers to grow. BYL719 may also make treatment with 
radiation more effective.  
The purpose of this study is to determine the highest tolerable dose of BYL719 that can be given safely 
with radiation and capecitabine. We will also be studying the side effects of BYL719 in combination with 
radiation and capecitabine. BYL719 is an experimental drug which means it has not been approved by the 
United States Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of cancer.  
We expect to enroll approximately 24 patients into this study. Your doctors are participating in this 
research study sponsored by the Principal Investigator, Dr. Howard Safran, in collaboration with Brown 
University Oncology Research Group (BrUOG), which will serve as the central coordinating office for 
the study, which is financially supported by Novartis, the makers of the drug BYL719.

Explanation of Procedures   
What will happen if I take part in this research study?  
If you take part in this study, you will have exams, tests and procedures to show if you can be in the 
study. If you choose to take part, then you will need the following tests and procedures, while on the 
study.  
 
Medical history  
 
Prior to entering this study you will have had a biopsy of your rectal cancer. If not previously 
performed, the pathology department at Rhode Island Hospital will perform a “molecular profile” of 
your cancer to evaluate standard genes that may be abnormal in your cancer. Genes may control how 
cells grow and react to chemotherapy. 
 
Physical examination, including weight, vitals, performance status (patient’s level of functioning in 
terms of their ability to care for them self, daily activity, and physical ability), and toxicity 
assessment ( a review of how you are handling the treatment)  prior to starting Blood tests prior to 
starting treatment, approximately 3 tablespoons of blood. If you are a female of child-bearing 
potential you will also have a pregnancy test (via blood). All patients will also have a urinalysis 
 
CT scan (or MRI or PET scan) of the chest, abdomen and pelvis within 2 months of starting 
treatment. This will be repeated prior to starting the study treatment if you had one done a few 
months ago and have been receiving chemotherapy 
 
EKG prior to starting treatment. 
 
Echocardiogram or MUGA (A MUGA is a scan, which creates video images of the lower chambers 
of the heart that hold blood (called "ventricles") to check whether they are pumping blood properly. It 
shows any abnormalities in the size of the ventricles and in the movement of the blood through the 
heart) test prior to starting treatment. 
 
On study/treatment: 
 
Physical examination, including weight, vitals, performance status, weekly for 6 weeks during 
radiation 4 weeks after radiation is completed. Toxicity assessment will be done weekly during 
treatment then at 2 and 4 weeks post completion of treatment. 
 
Blood tests, approximately 3 tablespoons of blood, weekly for 6 weeks during radiation then 2 and 4 
weeks after radiation is completed. 
 
CT scan (or MRI or PET scan) of the chest, abdomen and pelvis approximately 4 weeks after 
completing treatment 
 
Follow-up: 
Once you complete the study treatment and surgery, you will see your study doctor as often as they 
normally see their patients who have been treated for rectal cancer for survival and disease status for 
approximately 2 years.  
If you come off study early for any reason you will still be followed post your surgery and for survival 
and disease status for approximately 2 years.  
You will receive radiation treatment for the rectal cancer, every day, Monday through Friday for 28 
treatments. You will receive the chemotherapy pills capecitabine, twice a day, , starting Sunday evening 
thru Friday morning or until the morning you are due to receive your last radiation treatment, on the days

you receive radiation. Depending on your height and weight you will take approximately 4-6 pills of 
capecitabine per day. You will receive BYL719, to take approximately 3 pills per day, 7 days per week, 
beginning on the first day of radiation and ending on your final day of radiation. BYL719 will be 
administered orally, once daily on a continuous dosing schedule. BYL719 will be dosed on a flat-fixed 
dose and not adjusted by body weight or body surface area. Missed doses of BYL719 will not be made up 
and will be stopped when radiation is completed. If radiation is not given to you because it is held or 
missed, you may be instructed to NOT take the capecitabine or BYL719 drugs. The research staff will 
speak with you about any changes to your dosing schedule if radiation is not given. 
All people on the trial will receive standard dosages of capecitabine and radiation.  This study will 
determine the best dose of BYL719 to administer with capecitabine and radiation. Patients will be treated 
in groups of 3-6 patients to determine the highest safe dose of BYL719. Your doctor will discuss with you 
the dose of BYL719 that you will receive. The dose of BYL719 you receive depends on when you take 
part in the study and your dose will not be increased. Only after 3-6 patients have completed treatment at 
a dose level, and the dose level is determined to be safe, will 3-6 additional patients start a higher dose 
level of BYL719.  Once the highest safe dose level is found more patients will be treated at the 
determined dose so that a total of 24 patients are treated on the study.  
Approximately 6-10 weeks after you have finished radiation you will have standard surgery to remove 
your rectal cancer. You will be given a separate consent form for this surgery. 
There are few instructions you have to follow with regards to taking the BYL719 drug: 
 
Take study drug BYL719 each morning with a glass of water (~250 ml or ~8 fluid ounces) daily 
approximately 1 hour after a light breakfast or a snack. 
 
Take study drug BYL719 at approximately the same time each day (recommended 8AM +/1 hour).  
 
If, for any reason, study drug BYL719 was not taken at the time you normally take it, then you should 
take study drug BYL719 within 1 hour after a meal or snack at any later point in time during the same 
day, but not later than 6 pm that day. If not taken by 6pm, do not take study drug BYL719 that day 
(skip that dose)  and continue with your regular dosing on the next morning. Do not ever take a double 
dose to make up for the missed dose. Missed doses are not made up the next day. 
 
If you missed a dose please be sure to document it on the drug diary  
 
Swallow the tablets and not to chew or crush them.  
 
If vomiting occurs do not take another dose of medication until your next scheduled dosing. 
Please tell your Study Doctor if you experience any vomiting or diarrhea. Tell the research team 
when and how many times you may have experienced vomiting and diarrhea or about an increase 
in stool frequency.  
 
Avoid Seville or bitter oranges (and juice), grapefruit or grapefruit juice, grapefruit hybrids, pummelos, 
starfruits and cranberry juice from 7 days prior to the first dose of study drug and during the entire 
study treatment. These fruits are restricted because some can affect your metabolism with certain drugs. 
Regular orange (Citrus X sinensis) juice is allowed, such as Tropicana. 
 
Your study doctor will review the types of medications (called CYP3A inducers and inhibitors) that you 
will not be able to take while on this study. 
 
You will be asked to record when you take the study drug (and other study medication) on a drug diary, 
which the research staff will give to you each week.

How long will I be in the study?  
You will receive BYL719 for approximately 6 weeks. Approximately 2 and 4 weeks post your last 
treatment you will be seen by your study doctor. You will then be followed by your doctors as they 
normally follow patients who received this type of treatment for rectal cancer for survival and disease 
status for approximately 2 years 
Costs for participating in this study  
Some of the services you will receive are being performed only because you are participating in this 
research study.  Examples of these ‘research only’ services include the BYL719 drug, which will be 
provided at no charge by Novartis, the maker of the drug.  
Other services you will receive during this research study are considered "routine clinical services" that 
you would have received even if you were not in the research study. Examples are;  all study doctor visits, 
blood tests, the capecitabine pills, radiation, drugs used to reduce side effects from chemotherapy, CT 
scans, EKG, echocardiogram/MUGA and the pathology department’s genetic evaluation of your tumor 
tissue.  These services will be billed to your health insurance company, but you will be responsible for 
paying any deductibles, co-payments, or co-insurance that are a normal part of your health insurance plan.  
If you do not have health insurance, you will be responsible for those costs.

It is recommended that you avoid sun exposure and that you protect yourself from direct exposure to 
sunlight (by use of hats, wear of sunglasses, long-sleeve shirts and long pants and broad spectrum 
sunscreen) when outdoors due to potential skin reactions. 
Most frequent events that may be caused by BYL719 in clinical studies (occurring in 10% or more of 
patients) observed in BYL719 clinical studies that may be caused by BYL719 include, but may not be 
limited to:  
 
Increase in blood sugar (hyperglycemia): increase in blood sugar usually appears within the first 
two cycles of treatment and may or may not be accompanied by clinical symptoms like excessive 
thirst, blurred vision, fatigue, headache, or frequent urination. In some instances, the first 
manifestation can be very high levels requiring hospitalization. Few patients have reported 
increased blood sugar levels considered life-threatening. Worsening of pre-existing diabetes 
leading to ketoacidosis (a serious diabetic complication when your body produces too much acid) 
has been reported in one patient. Increased blood sugar levels are closely monitored during the 
study and are generally well-managed with oral anti-diabetic drugs like metformin. Occasionally, 
insulin might also be needed for a short period of time to successfully control the increased blood 
sugar levels induced by BYL719. In order to ensure your safety your blood sugar levels will be 
closely monitored

 Pneumonitis (inflammation of the lungs) Cases of pneumonitis with fatal outcome have 
been observed in patients receiving BYL719 in combination with other drugs. If you 
experience any new or changing respiratory symptoms such as new or worsening cough, 
wheezing, feeling short of breath or difficulty breathing, you should contact your doctor 
immediately. You will be monitored carefully to make sure you are not developing any 
pneumonitis related symptoms. If you develop any symptoms suggestive of pneumonitis 
during treatment with BYL719, you will have a chest CT scan to examine your lungs 
(you will generally have a chest x-ray or a CT scan to follow your disease at regular 
intervals even if you do not have pneumonitis). Your treating physician may also take a 
biopsy of your lung to collect lung tissue or may perform other procedures if considered 
appropriate (in your best interest). 
 
Uncommon adverse events (occurring in less than 1% of patients) observed in BYL719 clinical studies that 
may be caused by BYL719 include, but may not be limited to:  
 
Sudden significant deterioration of kidney function known as acute kidney failure (decrease in how 
well your kidneys work)  
Other serious or medically important conditions that may occur in some patients include, but are not limited 
to:

hospitalization and can be life-threatening. Tell your doctor if you have severe abdominal pain or 
vomiting. You will be monitored closely for any signs and symptoms related to the elevation of 
pancreas enzymes in the blood for your safety during the study. 
 
Anaphylactic reaction - a severe sudden allergic reaction soon after drug administration which can be 
life-threatening. If you experience difficulty breathing or tightness in the throat, you should contact 
your doctor immediately. 
 
Severe skin reactions including serious illness consisting of erythematous eruptions with or without 
shedding and blistering of the skin and involvement of the mucosal membranes (e.g.: mouth, eyes and 
genitals) have been reported with the use of BYL719. Two cases of Steven’s Johnson Syndrome (SJS) 
were reported in combination with other drugs, which are not being used in this trial (One case using 
the additional drug: MEK162 was deemed by the treating physician to be related to the combination of 
BYL719 and MEK162 and one case using the additional drug: fulvestrant, was deemed by the treating 
physician to be suspected as related to BYL719). Steven’s Johnson Syndrome is a rare but serious 
disorder, that can be fatal, that usually involves the skin and the mucous membranes. SJS 
usually begins with flu-like symptoms and then includes a painful red or purplish rash. 
 
A condition known as tumor lysis syndrome has been reported when BYL719 was given to patients 
with advanced colorectal cancer with a monoclonal antibody treatment known as cetuximab. Tumor 
lysis syndrome can occur when tumor cells die very quickly from anti-cancer medications and usually 
occurs in the first few weeks of treatment. When tumor cells die, they release substances in to the 
bloodstream that can be harmful to organs such as the kidneys and heart. Patients receiving this 
combination of anti-cancer drugs can be at risk for tumor lysis syndrome. Your  doctor will monitor 
your blood to assess that your organs remain healthy whilst you are taking BYL719 treatment. 
Toxicities caused by BYL719 might result in dose modification or delay with respect to the standard therapy 
you are receiving with capecitabine and radiation followed by surgery, which could increase your risk of 
your cancer recurring (coming back) after standard therapy.  A recurrence after standard chemotherapy, 
radiation and surgery could require an extensive “salvage” surgery. 
CAPECITABINE: 
Risks and side effects related to the capecitabine include those which are : 
Likely (>10%) 
 
Nausea 
 
Diarrhea  
 
Mouth sores 
 
Loss of appetite and weight loss  


 
Redness and/or drying of the skin, especially the hands and feet.  
 
Skin or nail darkening 
 
Skin rash or peeling of skin on hands and feet 
 
Low blood counts which could lead to an increased risk of infection, weakness, and/or in 
bleeding and bruising easily 
 
Infection 
Less Likely (1-10%)

 
Vomiting 
 
Muscle aches 
 
Constipation 
 
Hair loss 
 
Change in liver function that could cause jaundice (yellowing of skin)  
 
Unsteadiness  
 
Rare but serious (<1%) 
 
Chest pain or irregular heartbeat 
 
Dangerous interaction between capecitabine and warfarin (Coumadin®):   If you are taking warfarin 
or Coumadin® (medicine to prevent blood clotting), capecitabine may change the way your blood clots.  
The interaction between warfarin and capecitabine is very large and could result in severe bleeding.   
Because of this, if you were on warfarin (Coumadin) before starting study treatment, it was stopped 
and/or switched to a different type of blood thinner. Do not resume taking warfarin (Coumadin) until your 
study doctor tells you that it is safe to do so.   
 
RADIATION: 
Risks and side effects related to the radiation include those which are: 
Likely (>10%) 
 
Stomach pain and intestinal discomfort, which usually occur during the last three weeks of 
radiation and generally go away within 2 months after the treatment is finished 
 
Nausea 
 
Diarrhea  
 
Fatigue 
 
Tanning, redness of skin, and hair loss within the radiation area, which is temporary  
 
Permanently dry skin in the radiation treatment area  
 
Low blood counts, which could lead to an increased risk of infection, weakness, and/or in 
bleeding and bruising easily 
 
Loss of appetite and weight loss  
 
Mild muscle aches in the area treated  
 
Less Likely  (2-10%) 
 
Vomiting 
 
Infection 
 
Rare but serious (<2%) 
 
Change in liver or kidney function, which is unlikely to cause symptoms. 
 
Bowel obstruction, which could result in abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting and may require 
surgery. 


Risk of Secondary Cancers or Leukemia: Chemotherapy drugs (such as capecitabine and BYL719) and 
radiation may increase the risk of other cancers or leukemia (a blood cancer). 
 
Reproductive Risks 
Chemotherapy may decrease the sperm count. This is usually temporary but is infrequently 
permanent, which would result in sterility. Because the drugs in this study can affect an unborn 
baby, you should not become pregnant while on this study.  
Women of child-bearing potential, defined as all women physiologically capable of becoming 
pregnant, must use highly effective contraception during the study and through 6 months after 
the final dose of study treatment. Highly effective contraception is defined as either: 
i. 
Total abstinence: When this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject. 
[Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, postovulation methods) and 
withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception]. 
ii. 
Female sterilization: have had surgical bilateral oophorectomy (with or without 
hysterectomy) or tubal ligation at least six weeks before taking study treatment. In case of 
oophorectomy alone, only when the reproductive status of the woman has been confirmed 
by follow up hormone level assessment 
iii. 
Male partner sterilization (with the appropriate post-vasectomy documentation of the 
absence of sperm in the ejaculate). [For female study subjects, the vasectomized male partner 
should be the sole partner for that patient] 
iv. 
Use a combination of the following (both a+b): 
a. Placement of an intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS) 
b. Barrier methods of contraception: Condom or Occlusive cap (diaphragm or 
cervical/vault caps) with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/vaginal suppository. 
c. Note: Hormonal contraception methods (e.g. oral, injected, and implanted) are 
not allowed as BYL719 may decrease the effectiveness of hormonal 
contraceptives. 
 
You should not nurse your baby while on this study. If you are premenopausal, your periods are likely to 
stop temporarily and may stop permanently due to the study treatments, which may lead to symptoms of 
menopause, such as hot flashes, and the inability to become pregnant, which may be permanent. If you 
are concerned about this, ask your study doctor about options for preserving your reproductive choices, 
which may include referral to a specialist in this field.   
Sexually active males should use a condom during intercourse while taking drug and for 6 
months after the final dose of study treatment and should not father a child in this period, but 
may be recommended to seek advice on conservation of sperm. It is also highly suggested that 
males use spermicidal foam with a condom as another precaution. A condom is required to be 
used also by vasectomized men in order to prevent delivery of the drug via seminal fluid. Males 
should avoid donating sperm while they are receiving treatment. 
 
By signing this document you are acknowledging that you understand and agree to the information 
presented in this Reproductive Risk section.

Antiemetics (anti-nausea pre-medications): Various medications used to prevent nausea and vomiting 
may cause drowsiness, dry mouth, diarrhea, constipation, headache, restlessness, agitation, anxiety, 
dizziness, involuntary tremors, skin rash, and possible allergic reaction. 
You will receive pre-medication to reduce the risk of infusion/injection reactions on your treatment days. 
Overall, the pre-medications you will be given are well tolerated. 
 
Venipuncture (inserting a needle into a vein to obtain blood or give medication): May cause 
inflammation, pain, bruising, bleeding, or infection. 
When you receive chemotherapy by vein, there is a slight risk that some of the drug may leak out around 
the needle at the injection site. A skin burn may result. Most skin burns are treatable and heal well. 
In order to monitor the side effects, your physician will examine you frequently and obtain laboratory 
tests (blood tests, chest x-rays, or CT scans as needed) to determine the effects of your treatment and alter 
the drug dosages if necessary. 
Risk of CT imaging: CT imaging uses x-rays. The radiation dose associated with this procedure is 
estimated to be a small fraction of the annual permissible dose to an x-ray technologist. 
There may be other side effects that have not been reported. If you have any unusual symptoms, you 
should report them immediately to your doctor or nurse. 
 
Benefits 
The goal of this phase I study is to determine the best dose and side effects of the addition of BYL719 to 
standard capecitabine and radiation. The use of BYL719 in this study is unlikely to help you. We hope the 
information learned from this study will benefit other patients with cancer in the future. 
Alternative Therapies 
What other choices do I have if I do not take part in this study?  
 
Getting treatment for your rectal cancer with standard radiation and capecitabine. 
 
Getting radiation alone 
 
Having surgery. 
 
Taking part in another study 
 
Getting no treatment 
 
Talk to your doctor about your choices before you decide if you will take part in this study. 
 
Refusal/Withdrawal 
It is up to you whether you want to be in the study.  You are not required to enroll or participate.  If you 
decide to participate, you can always change your mind and quit at any time.  If you decide not to be in 
the study, or if you quit later, you will still be able to get the health care services you normally get.  If you 
join, but later on the researcher or your doctor feels being in the study is no longer good for you, they may 
choose to take you out of the study before it is over.  If new information becomes available that might

Medical Treatment/Payment in Case of Injury 
A research injury is any physical or mental injury or illness caused by being in the study. If you are 
injured by a medical treatment or procedure you would have received even if you were not in the study 
that is not a research injury.  To help avoid research injury and added medical expenses, it is very 
important to follow all study directions carefully.  If you do experience a research injury, <INSERT 
HOSPITAL NAME> or the study doctor can arrange medical treatment for you. Such treatment will be 
paid for as described below. 
 
If you have insurance and have a research injury that is not covered by the study, it is possible that some 
or all of the cost of treating you could be billed to your insurer.  If your health insurance will not cover 
such costs, it is possible you would have to pay out of pocket.  In some cases, <INSERT HOSPITAL 
NAME> might be able to help you pay if you qualify for free care under <INSERT HOSPITAL NAME> 
policy.  However, <INSERT HOSPITAL NAME> has no policy to cover payment for such things as lost 
wages, expenses other than medical care, or pain and suffering.   
 
Neither Dr. Howard Safran, the sponsor of the study, nor BrUOG, the coordinating center, have money 
set aside to reimburse you for medical bills from treatment of a research related injury or otherwise 
compensate you in the event of a study-related injury.

GINA STATEMENT This study involves ‘genetic testing’ as defined by the Genetic Information 
Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (GINA). GINA generally makes it illegal for health insurance companies, 
group health plans, and most employers to discriminate against you based on your genetic 
information.  There are some limitations to GINA’s protections (it does not apply to all insurers or 
employers, nor does it apply to all genetic information, such as information related to a genetic disease 
that you already have).  In addition to GINA’s protections regarding the ultimate use to which your 
genetic information is put, <INSERT HOSPITAL NAME>’s privacy policies generally protect the 
privacy of such information and restrict its release outside of <INSERT HOSPITAL NAME>, unless you 
specifically authorize its disclosure or unless disclosure without your authorization is permitted under 
applicable privacy laws.  
For more detail about your privacy rights see the <INSERT HOSPITAL NAME> Joint Privacy Notice 
which has or will be given to you.

Bosentan, efavirenz, etravirine, genistein, modafinil, nafcillin, ritonavir, 
talviraline, thioridazine, tipranavir 
Gastric protection agents 
BYL719 is characterized by a pH-dependent solubility. Medicinal products that 
alter the pH of the upper gastro-intestinal tract may alter the solubility of 
BYL719 and hence its bioavailability. These agents include, but are not limited 
to, proton-pump inhibitors (e.g., omeprazole), H2-antagonists (e.g., ranitidine) 
and antacids. BYL719 should preferably be dosed in a staggered manner, i.e., 
at least 1 hour before or 10 hours after dosing with a gastric protection agent. 
Note that some proton pump inhibitors may possibly inhibit BCRP (see below). 
BCRP inhibitors 
BYL719 was identified as a substrate for the human BCRP. Co-administration 
of BYL719 with BCRP inhibitors may possibly increase systemic exposure 
and/or alter tissue uptake of oral BYL719.The treatment with BCRP inhibitors 
should be kept as short as possible or, if possible, fully avoided. 
Drugs with a possible risk for 
Torsades de Pointes / QT

Alfuzosin, amantadine, atazanavir, chloral hydrate, clozapine, dolasetron, 
eribulin, escitalopram, famotidine, felbamate, fingolimod, foscarnet,

pasireotide, ranolazine, risperidone, roxithromycin, sertindole, sunitinib, 
tamoxifen, tizanidine, venlafaxine, voriconazole, ziprasidone 
Hematopoietic growth factors 
Hematopoietic growth factors (e.g. erythropoietins, G-colony stimulating factor 
(CSF) and GM-CSF) are not to be administered prophylactically. Use of these 
drugs should be reserved to patients with severe neutropenia and anemia as per 
the labeling of these agents or as dictated by local practice (see also the 
guidelines established by the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO)). 
Corticosteroids 
Chronic dosing of high levels of corticosteroids such as dexamethasone and 
prednisone are known to induce CYP3A enzymes, thereby increasing the risk

of reducing letrozole drug exposure to sub-therapeutic levels. Since 
corticosteroids may prolong or aggravate hyperglycemia (steroid-induced 
diabetes), which is a common adverse event for PI3K inhibitors such as 
BYL719, they should be additionally used with caution and closely monitored. 
Anticoagulation 
Anticoagulants other than warfarin/coumarin derivates (Appendix 2, Table 8) 
or antiaggregation agents may be administered under the discretion of the 
investigator. However, caution is advised when BYL719 is co-administered 
with anti-platelet pro-drugs such as clopidogrel, ticlopidine and prasugrel, 
which require metabolic activation by CYP3A4, CYP2C9 and CYP2C19. 
BYL719 has the potential to inhibit some of these enzymes and may therefore 
decrease the metabolic activation and clinical efficacy of these pro-drugs. 
Patients using anti-platetet pro-drugs should be carefully monitored. 
1Any drug mentioned in the above list should be contraindicated if they are excluded based on any other 
exclusion criteria, or as specified in Section Concomitant Medications of this guideline document or listed in 
Appendix G,  
2Sensitive substrates: Drugs whose plasma AUC values have been shown to increase 5-fold or higher when co-
administered with a potent inhibitor. 
3NTI = narrow therapeutic index drugs whose exposure-response indicates that increases in their exposure levels 
by the concomitant use of potent inhibitors may lead to serious safety concerns (e.g., Torsades de Pointes).

Other investigational and 
antineoplastic therapies 
Other investigational therapies should not be used while the patient is on the 
study. Anticancer therapy [chemotherapy, biologic or radiation therapy, and 
surgery (unless specified in protocol)] other than the study treatments must not 
be given to patients while the patient is on the study medication. If such agents 
are required for a patient then the patient must be discontinued from the study. 
Herbal medications 
Herbal preparations/medications are prohibited throughout the study, as a 
potential drug-drug-interaction is always possible. These herbal medications 
include, but are not limited to: St. John’s wort, Kava, ephedra (ma huang), 
gingko biloba, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), yohimbe, saw palmetto, 
medical marijuana, and ginseng. Patients should stop using these herbal 
medications 7 days prior to first dose of study drug. 
Warfarin and coumarin 
derivatives 
Therapeutic doses of warfarin sodium (Coumadin®) or any other coumarin-
derivative anticoagulants are prohibited in this study. Warfarin has a narrow 
therapeutic range and BYL719 is a possible inhibitor of CYP2C8 and 2C9, the 
major metabolizing enzyme of warfarin. Therapeutic anticoagulation may be 
accomplished using low-molecular weight heparin.
