Summary

This study tests a drug called alpelisib combined with standard hormone therapy for people with a specific type of advanced breast cancer (HR+, HER2-, with a PIK3CA mutation) whose cancer has worsened on hormone therapy alone. About 44 participants will take alpelisib daily along with either fulvestrant or an aromatase inhibitor. The goal is to see how long the cancer stays under control and whether tumors shrink.
