Description:
This phase II trial studies how well nab-paclitaxel and alpelisib works in treating patients
with triple negative breast cancer with PIK3CA or PTEN alterations that does not respond to
anthracycline chemotherapy (anthrocycline refractory). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as
nab-paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing
the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Alpelisib may
stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving
nab-paclitaxel and alpelisib before surgery may help shrink the tumor before surgery.

Purpose
This phase II trial studies how well nab-paclitaxel and alpelisib works in treating patients
with triple negative breast cancer with PIK3CA or PTEN alterations that does not respond to
anthracycline chemotherapy (anthrocycline refractory). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as
nab-paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing
the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Alpelisib may
stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving
nab-paclitaxel and alpelisib before surgery may help shrink the tumor before surgery.
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine if alpelisib in combination with nab-paclitaxel in the neoadjuvant setting
will improve rates of pathologic response (pathological complete response [pCR/RCB-0] or
minimal residual disease [RCB-I]) from 5% to 20% in patients with chemotherapy insensitive
triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) with PIK3CA alterations (including PTEN loss). (Cohort
1) II. To determine if alpelisib in combination with nab-paclitaxel in the neoadjuvant
setting will improve rates of pathologic response (pCR/RCB-0 or RCB-I) from 5% to 20% in
patients with chemotherapy insensitive TNBC with PTEN alterations. (Cohort 2)
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Determine the radiographic response rate for alpelisib in combination with nab-paclitaxel
as measured by ultrasound and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (partial response +
complete clinical response) in chemotherapy insensitive TNBC with PIK3CA (Cohort-1) or PTEN
(Cohort-2) alterations.
II. Determine toxicity of alpelisib in combination with nab-paclitaxel given in the
neoadjuvant setting following anthracycline based therapy.
III. Determine progression free survival (PFS) at 3 years for patients treated with alpelisib
in combination with nab-paclitaxel given in the neoadjuvant setting in chemotherapy
insensitive TNBC with PIK3CA (Cohort-1) or PTEN (Cohort-2) alterations.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess biomarkers of response and resistance to alpelisib and nab-paclitaxel
combination.
II. To assess the role of circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (ctDNA) allele fraction in
predicting response to alpelisib and nab-paclitaxel in early stage TNBC.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive alpelisib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-21, and nab-paclitaxel
intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15. Treatment repeats every 21 days for
4 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients may then
undergo surgery to remove the tumor.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days, and then
periodically until up to 3 years after surgery.
