Study #2019-0752
A Phase-2, Two-Cohort Trial of Neoadjuvant nab-Paclitaxel and Alpelisib in Anthracycline Refractory Triple Negative Breast Cancer with PIK3CA or PTEN Alterations
MD Anderson Study Status
Not Accepting
Treatment Agent
Alpelisib, Nab-paclitaxel
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.
