Abstract Background: PIK3CA encodes the PI3K p110α subunit, and dysregulating mutations are widely seen in breast cancer (BC) and other solid tumors. GDC-0077 (G) is a potent p110α-selective inhibitor that degrades mutant p110α and demonstrates antitumor activity in PIK3CA-mutant BC xenograft models, either as a single agent, or combined with anti-estrogen therapy. From an ongoing, open-label, phase I/Ib dose-escalation study of G alone and combined with endocrine + targeted therapies (NCT03006172), we present data of G + fulvestrant (F) in postmenopausal patients (pts) with PIK3CA-mutant, hormone receptor-positive/HER2-negative BC, including a food-effect assessment on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of G. Methods: Safety (NCI-CTCAE v4), PK, and preliminary antitumor activity (clinical benefit rate [CBR]: RECIST v1.1 stable disease for ≥24 weeks, partial response [PR], or complete response) of 9 mg oral once-daily G + 500 mg intramuscular F on Day 1 (and Day 15 of Cycle 1) of 28-day cycles were assessed until intolerable toxicity/disease progression. The effect of a standard high-fat meal on the PK of G was evaluated after a single dose and at steady state. Relevant signaling and pharmacodynamic (PD) biomarkers were assessed using circulating tumor (ct) DNA samples. Results: At clinical cutoff (Jul 19, 2019), 20 pts were enrolled in the food-effect portion of the G + F arm. Fifteen (75%) had received ≥2 prior lines of therapy for metastatic BC. Median G treatment duration was 5.9 months (range 1.7-17.8); cumulative dose intensity, 98%. Adverse events (AEs) led to dose reduction in 3 pts (15%). The most common treatment-related (TR) AEs (≥4 pts, 20%) were hyperglycemia (11, 55%), diarrhea (10, 50%), stomatitis (grouped term; 9, 45%), nausea (8, 40%), decreased appetite (7, 35%), dysgeusia, fatigue, and muscle spasms (4 each, 20%). Grade ≥3 TRAEs were hyperglycemia, nausea, lymphopenia, hyperamylasemia, and hyperlipasemia (1 each, 5%). The PK of G in combination with F was similar to single-agent PK. Comparable G exposures (Cmax and AUC0-24) were observed following administration in fasted or fed states. Seventeen pts (85%) discontinued treatment, all due to radiographic/clinical disease progression. Overall, 5/14 pts with measurable disease had a PR (36%; 2 received prior F; 4, prior CDK4/6i), of whom 2 pts (14%) had a confirmed PR. CBR was 60% (12/20 pts). Most pts showed decreased ctDNA PIK3CA-mutant allele frequency during treatment. Conclusion: G + F demonstrated a manageable safety profile, similar PK to G alone, preliminary antitumor activity, and PD modulation of PIK3CA-mutant allele frequency in ctDNA. The presence of food did not significantly impact the rate or extent of G absorption following single or multiple doses. Additional pts are being enrolled in the G + F arm to further inform the safety and efficacy of this combination. Citation Format: Kevin Kalinsky, Dejan Juric, Philippe L.
