Eligibility criteria

Principal inclusion / exclusion criteria as submitted by sponsor

Inclusion criteria 21

1. PRE-SCREENING PHASE: Patient must be able to sign written pre-screening informed consent form prior to any molecular determination during the pre-screening phase.
2. SCREENING PHASE: Patient has a PIK3CA mutation confirmed by MEDSIR's designated central lab, determined in the pre-screening phase or patient has a pathology report confirming PIK3CA mutant status by a certified laboratory (using validated PIK3CA mutation assay) either from tissue or blood And/or Patient has evidence of PTEN loss by immunohistochemistry (IHC) confirmed by MEDSIR’s designated central lab in the pre-screening phase or patient has a pathology report confirming PTEN loss by a certified laboratory, preferably on the most recent available tumor sample. Note:. PI3KCA mutations should have been evaluated at least at hot spots, E542, E545 and H1047. PTEN staining should have been evaluated by assessing both intensity of staining and percentage of positive cells. Both nuclear and cytoplasmic staining should be evaluated. Staining of normal cells such as benign breast epithelium, stromal cells and/or endothelial cells should have been evaluated as an internal control. Any tumor nuclear or cytoplasmic staining showing similar intensity with internal control cells should have been considered positive staining (no PTEN loss). Complete lack of staining or faint staining (cytoplasmic or nuclear) in up to 50% of tumor cells should have been considered as PTEN loss. If there was no staining in internal control cells, the staining should have been considered inconclusive.
3. SCREENING PHASE: Patients with clinically stable metastatic central nervous system (CNS) tumors are eligible if: a. Stereotactic radiotherapy ³ 7 days prior to initiation of study treatment. b. Whole-brain radiotherapy ³ 7 days prior to initiation of study treatment. c. Neurosurgical resection ³ 28 days prior to initiation of study treatment. d. Not receiving steroid therapy or anticonvulsant at Baseline
4. PRE-SCREENING PHASE: - Histologically confirmed metaplastic or non-metaplastic TNBC as per local assessment. or - Histologically confirmed HR-positive/HER2-negative metaplastic breast cancer
5. SCREENING PHASE: Resolution of all acute toxic effects of prior anti-cancer therapy to grade ≤ 1 as determined by the US National Cancer Institute-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) version 5.0 (v.5.0). Note: Except for alopecia or other toxicities not considered a safety risk for the patient at investigator's discretion
6. SCREENING PHASE: Available archival tumor sample (FFPE tissue) of the most recent biopsy/surgery since last progression. Note: Subjects for whom the most recent tumor biopsy since last progression could not be obtained (e.g., inaccessible tumor or subject safety concern) may submit archival pathological material from either metastatic or primary sites.
7. PRE-SCREENING PHASE: Being male or female aged ≥ 18 years
8. PRE-SCREENING PHASE: Known HR status according to the updated American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO)/College of American Pathologists (CAP) 2020 guidelines and HER2-negative breast cancer (BC) as per ASCO/CAP 2018 criteria based on local testing on the most recently analyzed biopsy.
9. PRE-SCREENING PHASE: Prior treatment with at least one, but no more than four, prior lines of systemic therapy for advanced disease. Earlier adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy for more limited disease will be considered as one of the required prior regimens if the development of unresectable locally advanced metastatic disease occurred within a 6-month period after completion of chemotherapy.
10. PRE-SCREENING PHASE: No prior treatment with a PI3K/AKT/mTOR inhibitors, nor with eribulin.
11. PRE-SCREENING PHASE: Patient must consent to give a tumor sample or/and a blood sample for testing of the prior mentioned alterations (or if needed and deemed safe by the investigator, able to provide a fresh tumor sample).
