TNBC: Add-on ipatasertib fails to improve progression-free survival


 

Key clinical point : Addition of ipatasertib to paclitaxel does not improve progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN-altered locally advanced unresectable or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).

Major finding : The median PFS was 7.4 months with ipatasertib + paclitaxel vs 6.1 months with placebo + paclitaxel (hazard ratio, 1.02; P = .9237).

Study details : The data come from the Cohort A of phase 3 trial IPATunity130. 255 patients with PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN-altered TNBC were randomly assigned (2:1) to receive paclitaxel with either ipatasertib or placebo.

Disclosures: The study was funded by Hoffmann-La Roche. The presenting author Rebecca Dent declared relationships with AstraZeneca, Eisai, Lilly, Merck, Novartis, Pfizer, and Roche.
