  • Research summary

    Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) is a protein that can promote cancer cell growth. GDC-0077 is designed to block PI3K effects. In mice with PI3K (PIK3CA) mutant breast cancer, GDC-0077 slowed or stopped cancer growth. It is believed that GDC-0077 will work the same in humans.

    This study aims to evaluate GDC-0077 alone in patients with locally advanced or metastatic (cancer that has spread) PIK3CA-mutant cancer or GDC-0077 given together with palbociclib and letrozole or with letrozole in postmenopausal women with locally advanced or metastatic PIK3CA-mutant, hormone receptor-positive (HR+) breast cancer.

    This is the first time GDC-0077 will be given to humans. It is an open-label study with 2 stages:

    Stage 1 (approximately 57-96 patients) - GDC-0077 will be tested at different dose levels as follows:
    Patients with locally advanced or metastatic PIK3CA-mutant cancer:
    • Arm A: GDC-0077
    Postmenopausal women with locally advanced or metastatic PIK3CA-mutant HR+ breast cancer:
    • Arm B: GDC-0077 in combination with palbociclib and letrozole
    • Arm C: GDC-0077 in combination with letrozole

    Stage 2 (approximately 60 postmenopausal women with locally advanced or metastatic PIK3CA-mutant HR+ breast cancer)
    • Arm B: GDC-0077 dose tolerable in Stage 1 Arm B in combination with palbociclib and letrozole
    • Arm C: GDC-0077 dose tolerable in Stage 1 Arm C in combination with letrozole
    • Arm D: GDC-0077 dose tolerable in Stage 1 Arm C in combination with fulvestrant

    GDC-0077 is taken as a tablet every day for 28 day cycles. There are up to 7 visits in Cycle 1; the frequency of visits decreases in later cycles. Study procedures include physical examination, ECG, blood sampling, biopsy and imagining scans. Patients will continue in the study as long as they tolerate study treatment(s) and their cancer does not get worse

    The study is sponsored by Genentech. Approximately 30 patients in the UK will participate from 2 sites.
