Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Progression-free survival (PFS) based on BIRC assessments and using RECIST v1.1 criteria
From randomization to date of the first documented progression or death due to any cause, assessed up to a maximum duration of 60 months.

Progression-free survival (PFS) is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the first documented progression or death due to any cause. PFS will be assessed by the Blinded Independent Review Committee (BIRC) according to RECIST 1.1.

Part 1: Incidence of dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) for each dose level
6 weeks

Incidence of DLTs during the first 6 weeks of treatment for each dose level associated with administration of alpelisib in combination with trastuzumab and pertuzumab

Part 2: Progression Free Survival (PFS)
Up to approximately 38 months

PFS is the time from date of randomization/start of treatment to the date of event defined as the first documented progression or death due to any cause. PFS is based on local investigator assessment and using RECIST 1.1 criteria

Progression-free Survival (PFS) Per Investigator Assessment in the PIK3CA Mutant Cohort
Once approximately 243 PFS events in the PIK3CA mutant cohort had been observed, up to 33.3 months

PFS was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the first documented progression or death due to any cause. PFS was assessed via a local radiology assessment according to RECIST 1.1. If a patient did not have an event, PFS was censored at the date of last adequate tumor assessment. The PFS distribution was estimated using Kaplan-Meier methodology. Progression was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameter of all measured target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum of diameter of all target lesions recorded at or after baseline. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm.

Percentage Change in Ki67
Measured pre-treatment and after treatment 15 or 19 days, based on the duration specified for the assigned therapy

The primary outcome is the percentage change in Ki67 expression comparing pre-treatment to on-treatment specimens. Ki67 values were log-transformed for analysis, and results are summarized as the mean percentage change with 95% confidence intervals.

Number of participants with Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
From start of treatment up to 30 days after last dose of study treatment, assessed up to approximately 53 months

Incidence of adverse events by type, frequency, and severity, as graded by the NCI CTCAE version 4.03.

Proportion of participants with a confirmed objective response by BIRC
Up to Week 48

Confirmed objective response is defined as achieving radiological response, confirmed by a subsequent assessment performed at least after 4 weeks. The achievement of radiological response requires ≥20% reduction from baseline in the sum of target lesion volumes (1 to 3 target lesions, assessed by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) by a blinded independent review committee (BIRC)), provided that none of the individual target lesions has ≥20% increase from nadir, and in absence of progression of non-target lesions and without new lesions.

Percentage of subjects with a Substantial Response or Intermediate Response to Alpelisib using an Individualized Response Criteria
Individualized Response Criteria will be evaluated after 6 cycles (each cycle is 28 days) and then every 6 months until the end of the study (approximately 1.5 years)

Individualized Response is a composite outcome determined by the combined results of the following 3 distinct study assessments after cycle 6: Radiologic evaluation, PROMIS Patient reported outcome (PRO) measurements, and Clinical Benefit Assessments (CBA). The results of these 3 distinct assessments will be evaluated using a set of specific criteria to determine the Individualized Response to treatment (i.e. "Substantial Response" = Improvement in Radiologic assessment by 20%, AND improvement in Global Health PROs by 3T-score points, AND improvement in at least 1 CBA, AND no clinically meaningful worsening of disease). Each subject will be determined to have: 1) Substantial Response, or 2) Intermediate Response, or 3) Stable disease, or 4) Worsening disease. A subject that is found to have a Substantial Response or Intermediate Response is considered to have a "beneficial response." Statistical analyses will be run to determine the percentage of subjects with a beneficial response.

Relative size of target lesion(s) as determined by radiologic assessment
Measured at screening and after cycles 6, 12, and 24. Each cycle is 28 days.

\*\*For subjects with radiologically evaluable disease only\*\* The target lesion(s) will be measured at screening using imaging modality of choice based on underlying vascular anomaly (e.g. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Magnetic Resonance Lymphangiography (MRL), US, X-rays, CT scan). MRI or MRL imaging will be recommended as primary imaging modality. For subjects with disease manifestation better characterized by alternative quantitative imaging modality (e.g. X-ray or ultrasound) this may be substituted and used as alternative imaging. Up to 3 lesions will be identified as target lesions and recorded and measured at screening. The same method of assessment and the same technique will be used to characterize each target lesion at the specified follow-up timepoints. CBA can be substituted for radiologic evaluation in subjects without radiologically evaluable disease.

Quality of life as evaluated by PROMIS Patient Reported Outcome (PRO) questionnaire T-scores
Begin at screening and after cycles 6, 12, and 24. If subject enters extension phase, will continue to measure every 6 cycles until end of therapy (approximately 1 year). Each cycle is 28 days.

Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) questionnaires will be distributed to subjects and caregivers (if applicable.) A raw score will be calculated for each PROMIS subscale. Raw scores will then be translated into a T-score metric with mean of 50 (standard deviation of 10). A higher T-score means more of the outcome being measured. Global health measures will be used as the primary outcome. Change in quality of life will be evaluated and applied to the Individualized Response Criteria using the PROMIS global health T-scores.

Stage 2:Radiological response rate at Week 24 of Stage 2 (adult and pediatric (6 - 17 years of age) participants)
Baseline, Week 24

Radiological response defined by achieving at least 20% reduction in the sum of target lesion volumes (1 to 3 lesions), assessed by MRI by a BIRC at Week 24, provided that none of the individual target lesions has at least 20% increase from baseline and in absence of progression of non-target lesions and without new lesions. The percentage of participants with a radiological response at Week 24 of Stage 2 in adult and pediatric (6-17 years of age) groups will be assessed

Progression-Free Survival in the study groups
From randomization to disease progression or death, up to 5 years

The PFS is the length of time during and after the treatment of a disease that a patient lives with the disease but it does not get worse.

Prospective period only: Proportion of participants with new or worsening grade ≥3 treatment emergent adverse events (AEs)
From date of first interventional dose administration in the prospective period (Day 1) to 30 days after last dose of study drug, assessed up to 5 years.

Incidence of new or worsening grade ≥3 treatment emergent AEs (by system organ class and preferred term)

Proportion of Participants Randomized to Alpelisib With a Confirmed Objective Response by BIRC in Group 1 and Group 2
Up to 48 weeks

A responder is defined by achieving a \>=20% reduction from baseline in the sum of target lesion volumes (via BIRC), provided that none of the individual target lesions have a \>=20% increase from baseline and in absence of progression of non target lesions and without new lesions. Confirmation of response requires a subsequent imaging assessment performed at least 4 weeks after the onset of response. Participants who permanently discontinued alpelisib prior to confirmation of response, and participants who received surgery as rescue therapy prior to confirmation of response are considered as non-responders.

Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
From enrollment until the time of disease progression, up to 60 months

To estimate the progression-free survival (PFS) of alpelisib with continued endocrine therapy (aromatase inhibitor or fulvestrant) following progression in patients with hormone receptor positive, HER2 negative, PIK3CA mutant metastatic breast cancer. PFS defined as time from D1 of treatment with alpelisib with endocrine therapy.

Progression Free Survival (PFS)
From the date of randomization to the date of the first documented progression or death due to any cause, up to approximately 34 months

PFS is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the first documented progression or death due to any cause. The primary analysis for PFS will be performed based on local radiology assessment according to RECIST 1.1.

[Part 1] The incidence of Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) of alpelisib in combination with fulvestrant
From Cycle 1 Day 1 to Cycle 2 Day 28 (Cycle = 28 days)

A DLT is defined as an AE or abnormal laboratory value assessed as unrelated to disease, disease progression, inter-current illness, or concomitant medications that occurs within the first 2 cycles (the first 56 days) of treatment with alpelisib in combination with fulvestrant and meets any of the criteria specified in the protocol .

[Part 2] Overall Response Rate (ORR) in CDK4/6 inhibitor naive participants
Up to approximately 36 months

ORR is defined as the proportion of participants with best overall response (BOR) of confirmed complete response (CR) or confirmed partial response (PR) based on local investigator assessment per RECIST 1.1.

At 6 months

Percentage of participants who were alive without disease progression at 6-month follow-up based on local investigator assessment per RECIST v1.1 in Cohort A, Cohort B and Cohort C. Participants who progressed, died, or discontinued study before 6 months were counted as a failure.

Pathological Complete Response (pCR) Per Investigator Assessment for Alpelisib vs. Placebo for PIK3CA Mutant Cohort
After 24 weeks of treatment

Pathologic complete response (pCR) defined as absence of any residual invasive cancer on hematoxylin and eosin evaluation of the resected breast specimen and all sampled ipsilateral lymph nodes following completion of 24 weeks of treatment by local assessment (ypT0/Tis ypN0). Patients who experienced progression of disease while undergoing neoadjuvant therapy, or who did not receive surgery for any reason, or received antineoplastic treatment other than study drug(s) before surgery were considered as non-responders for the calculation of pCR rate.

Ib Safety Cohort /II Expansion CohortEXPERIMENTALIn phase Ib, the tolerability of tucatinib and alpelisib combination will be confirmed and maximum tolerated dose determined. Therapy will be administered in 28 day cycles of tucatinib 300 mg PO BID and alpelisib 250 mg PO daily (dose level 1). Treatment will continue until unacceptable toxicity, disease progression, withdrawal of consent, or study closure. Fulvestrant will also be administered in patients with HR+/HER2+ metastatic breast cancer. Once RP2D is determined, the study will be continued to phase II, and new patients will enroll at RP2D. All patients in phase IB part, who are remaining on study at the time of initiation of phase II, will be rolled over to phase II. At that time, their study drug doses will be modified as follows: (1) if a patient is on the drug doses lower than RP2D, doses will not be increased; (2) if a patient is on a higher doses compared to RP2D, doses of study drugs will be changed to RP2D.
