Therapeutic Response Statement (Sensitivity)

This therapeutic response statement supports the relationship that ER positive, HER2-negative, PIK3CA somatic variants, PR positive status confers therapeutic sensitivity to Fulvestrant, Inavolisib, Palbociclib in patients with Invasive Breast Carcinoma.

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has authorized inavolisib in combination with palbocicliab and fulvestrant for the treatment of adult patients with PIK3CA-mutated, estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, HER2-negative, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer, following recurrence on or within 12 months of completing adjuvant endocrine treatment. Patients previously treated with a CDK 4/6 inhibitor in the (neo)adjuvant setting should have had an interval of at least 12 months between termination of CDK 4/6 inhibitor treatment and the detection of recurrence. In pre/perimenopausal women and in men, endocrine therapy should be combined with a luteinising hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist.

This statement is based on a regulatory approval from the European Medicines Agency:

Itovebi, in combination with palbocicliab and fulvestrant, is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with PIK3CA-mutated, oestrogen receptor (ER)-positive, HER2-negative, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer, following recurrence on or within 12 months of completing adjuvant endocrine treatment. Patients previously treated with a CDK 4/6 inhibitor in the (neo)adjuvant setting should have had an interval of at least 12 months between termination of CDK 4/6 inhibitor treatment and the detection of recurrence. In pre/perimenopausal women and in men, endocrine therapy should be combined with a luteinising hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist.
