Therapeutic Response Statement (Sensitivity)
This therapeutic response statement supports the relationship that ER positive, HER2-negative, PTEN frameshift variants status confers therapeutic sensitivity to Capivasertib, Fulvestrant in patients with Invasive Breast Carcinoma.
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has authorized capivasertib in combination with fulvestrant for the treatment of adult patients with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, HER2-negative locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer with one or more PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN-alterations following recurrence or progression on or after an endocrine-based regimen. Capivasertib's product information further states that in pre- or perimenopausal women, capivasertib plus fulvestrant should be combined with a luteinising hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist. The product information further states that, for men, administration of LHRH agonist according to current clinical practices should be considered. This indication is based on CAPItello-291, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, where HER2-negative status was defined as either IHC 0 or 1+, or IHC 2+/ISH-, and qualifying alterations were activating mutations in PIK3CA and AKT1 and inactivating mutations in PTEN.
This statement is based on a regulatory approval from the European Medicines Agency:
TRUQAP is indicated in combination with fulvestrant for the treatment of adult patients with oestrogen receptor (ER)-positive, HER2-negative locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer with one or more PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN-alterations following recurrence or progression on or after an endocrine-based regimen. In pre- or perimenopausal women, TRUQAP plus fulvestrant should be combined with a luteinising hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist. For men, administration of LHRH agonist according to current clinical practices should be considered.
