Trial of Taselisib in Overgrowth (TOTEM)

A Multi-Centre, Open Label, Single Arm, Phase IB/IIA, Trial of Taselisib (GDC0032) in PIK3CA-Related Overgrowth

Segmental overgrowth disorders are rare conditions characterised by abnormal growth which is usually asymmetric and confined to discrete parts of the body. We and others have identified mosaic activating mutations in the p110α catalytic subunit of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K; encoded by the PIK3CA gene) in a subset of overgrowth disorders. The PI3K-AKT-mTOR is a critical signalling pathway, which regulates cellular growth, proliferation and survival. Activating mutations in PIK3CA lead to increased activation of the PI3K-AKT-mTORC1 axis, which in turn promotes excessive growth in affected tissue.

The PIK3CA-related overgrowth spectrum is wide, and depends upon the timing of the founder mutation in embryogenesis, and potentially upon the exact mutation. Clinical presentation ranges from isolated enlargement of a digit, to extensive overgrowth of limbs, abdomen and in some cases the brain, and may be accompanied by vascular or lymphatic malformations. Associated morbidity can be profound, with functional impairment, debilitating haemorrhages and thromboses, coupled with neurological sequelae and, in some cases, death. At present, serial debulking surgery is the only available therapeutic option.

The identification of gain-of-function mutations in PI3K has raised the possibility of treatment with drugs that inhibit PIK3CA (the p110 alpha catalytic subunit of PI3K). Taselisib is a selective inhibitor of class I PI3Ks and has direct inhibitory activity of the p110α isoform with a Kiapp value of 0.29 nmol/l.

  • Men must use one of the following, reliable forms to contraception for the entire duration of treatment and for 3 months after the final dose of taselisib:
• Condom plus spermicide even if female partner is using another method of contraception (Men should also use a condom to protect male partners, or female partners who are pregnant or breast feeding, from exposure to the Trial medicine in semen).

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Occurrence of dose limiting toxicities	The dose limiting toxicity (DLT) is defined as a Grade 3 or more AE using the National Cancer Institute (NCI). If two out of up to six participants at the same dose level experience a DLT as defined above, subsequent cohorts will be dosed at a lower level as illustrated in the flow-chart below. At least six evaluable participants are required to establish the MTD (Maximum tolerated dose) at a specific dose level for both combinations.	less than 24 hours
