Detailed Description

This is a Phase II multi-center study with an upfront 16-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled period, and extension periods, to assess the efficacy, safety and PK of alpelisib in pediatric and adult participants with PROS.

Study period 1 - Core Period: Double-blind treatment, with an upfront 16-week placebo-controlled period (From Randomization to the end of Week 24) - Groups 1 and 2 At study start, participants in Group 1 and Group 2 will be enrolled and randomized in a 2:1 ratio (104 participants in the active arms and 52 participants in the placebo arms) to alpelisib or matching placebo. The upfront placebo-controlled period will continue for the first 16 weeks. At the conclusion of week 16, those participants who were randomized to receive placebo will be switched to active treatment with alpelisib in a blinded fashion at the dose level received at the end of the placebo period. Those participants who were randomized to receive alpelisib, will continue their treatment at the same dose level.

During the initial 16 weeks of the Core period, study treatment will be given in a blinded fashion, starting from week 17 of the Core period in open label fashion. The randomized treatment assignment to the treatment arms will remain blinded to participants, Investigators and the study team until the time of the primary analysis, when the last participant reaches week 48 from randomization or discontinues earlier.

Study period 1 - Exploratory; Group 4, open label treatment with the alpelisib FCT formulation After the implementation of Global Protocol Amendment 01, approximately 6 participants 2 to 5 years of age will be enrolled in exploratory Group 4. These participants will receive alpelisib FCT in an open label setting.

Study period 2 - Extension 1: treatment with alpelisib (week 25 up to the end of week 48) - Groups 1 and 2 Participants (Group 1 and Group 2) will continue their treatment during this study period.

For Groups 1 and 2, dose escalation is NOT allowed during first 4 weeks of Extension 1 period (weeks 25-28).

Once a participant (Groups 1 and 2) has completed initial 24 weeks of study treatment and reached Week 29, dose escalation will be allowed (Refer to Section 6.5.1):

  • Group 1: Alpelisib (125mg, or 200mg, or 250 mg QD)
  • Group 2: Alpelisib (50mg, or 125mg, or 200mg, or 250 mg QD)

Study period 2 - Exploratory: Group 4, open label treatment with the alpelisib FCT formulation

For Group 4 dose escalation is allowed once participant has reached the age of 6 years old, has completed the initial 24 weeks of study treatment, and has reached week 25:

• Group 4: Alpelisib (50 mg, or 125 mg, or 200 mg, or 250 mg QD)

Study period 3 - Extension 2: long-term treatment with alpelisib (Week 49 up to 5 years) - Groups 1 and 2 Groups 1 and 2 participants who continue the study until Week 48 and have clinical benefit from the study treatment, will enter a long-term extension period. Dose escalation and treatment beyond progression are allowed in both Group 1 and Group 2.

Study period 3 - Exploratory: Group 4, open label treatment with the alpelisib FCT formulation Group 4 participants who continue the study until Week 48 and have clinical benefit from the study treatment, will enter a long-term extension period. Dose escalation is allowed once a participant has reached the age of 6 years old, has completed the initial 24 weeks of study treatment, and has reached Week 25.

Exploratory study part: Group 3, open label treatment with the alpelisib granules formulation Group 3 will be an exploratory group of participants who are 0 to 5 years old and will receive the alpelisib granules formulation with an age-dependent starting dose and maximum dose levels ranging from 20 mg every other day to 50 mg once daily. Group 3 will be open to enrollment only after implementation of Global Protocol Amendment 05. Dose escalation is allowed once a participant has reached the age of 6 years, has completed the initial 24 weeks of study treatment, and has reached Week 25.

Group 5 open-label treatment with the alpelisib FCT formulation:

Participants of Group 5 will be enrolled after implementation of Global Protocol Amendment 02 and immediately after enrollment of Group 2 has been completed and will receive a starting dose of 125 mg alpelisib FCT formulation once daily in an open-label setting.

Dose escalation is allowed for those who did not derive sufficient clinical benefit at the Investigator's discretion and once participant has reached at least Week 25.

Study period 4 - Extension 3: treatment with alpelisib (from Week 264 until last patient enrolled completes 5 years of treatment) All participants from all groups will be followed until the last patient enrolled completes 5 years of treatment or discontinues early, to collect additional safety of alpelisib and in order to ensure patient access to treatment in the absence of global commercial supply in pediatric and adult participants with PROS. Visits will be performed every 24 weeks and additional safety assessments every 48 weeks.

It is planned to enroll approximately 192 participants in total, 78 adults and 114 children and adolescents. A total of approximately 156 male or female participants (of age ≥ 6 years) with PROS will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio in Groups 1 and 2 (approximately 78 participants per age group). Additional exploratory groups (Group 3, Group 4 and Group 5) will include approximately a total of 36 participants (approximately 15 in Group 3, 6 in Group 4 and 15 in Group 5).

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Proportion of Participants Randomized to Alpelisib With a Confirmed Objective Response by BIRC in Group 1 and Group 2
Time Frame: Up to 48 weeks
A responder is defined by achieving a >=20% reduction from baseline in the sum of target lesion volumes (via BIRC), provided that none of the individual target lesions have a >=20% increase from baseline and in absence of progression of non target lesions and without new lesions. Confirmation of response requires a subsequent imaging assessment performed at least 4 weeks after the onset of response. Participants who permanently discontinued alpelisib prior to confirmation of response, and participants who received surgery as rescue therapy prior to confirmation of response are considered as non-responders.
Up to 48 weeks

Participants who permanently discontinued alpelisib prior to Week 16, participants who received surgery as rescue therapy prior to Week 16, and participants who had a missing/non-evaluable radiological assessment at Week 16 are considered as non-responders.
Week 16
Proportion of Participants With a Response at Week 24 (by BIRC) in Groups 1 and 2
Time Frame: Week 24
A responder is defined by achieving a >=20% reduction from baseline in the sum of target lesion volumes (via BIRC) at Week 24, provided that none of the individual target lesions have a >=20% increase from baseline and in absence of progression of non-target lesions and without new lesions.
Week 24
Frequency and Severity of Adverse Events in Groups 1 and 2 up to Week 16
Time Frame: Up to Week 16

An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence (e.g., any unfavorable and unintended sign [including abnormal laboratory findings], symptom or disease) in a participant or clinical investigation participant after providing written informed consent for participation in the study. Therefore, an AE may or may not be temporally or causally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product. This includes events reported by the participant (or, when appropriate, by a caregiver, surrogate, or the participant's legally authorized representative).

Treatment emergent Adverse Event (TEAEs) in this study are events that started after the first dose of study treatment and until 30 days after the last dose of study treatment, or events present prior to the first dose of treatment which increased in severity based on preferred term within 30 days after the last study treatment.

Up to Week 16
Frequency and Severity of Adverse Events in All Groups of Participants Over Time
Time Frame: Up to approximately 5 years
Type, frequency, seriousness, and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events per CTCAE v4.03 criteria in participants with PROS over time.
Up to approximately 5 years
Change From Baseline to Week 16 in Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) Worst Pain Intensity in Group 1 and 2
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 4, Week 8, Week 12, Week 16
For adult and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older, the BPI item that assesses worst pain intensity in the past 24 hours was used. Patients respond to the item on an 11-point response scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (pain as bad as you can imagine). Worst pain intensity was averaged weekly over a 7-day period if a patient had completed the questionnaire for at least 4 days in the 7-day period. The weekly mean was calculated based on the available assessments. Clinically important change at Week 16 was defined as a 2-point reduction for patients who had a pain intensity score ≥ 4 at baseline. For patients with a baseline score < 4, a 1-point reduction from baseline was also considered as a clinically important change.
Baseline, Week 4, Week 8, Week 12, Week 16
Number of Participants With Global Impression of Symptom Severity (PGIS) Score up to Week 16
Time Frame: Week 4, Week 8, Week 16
A Patient Global Impression of Symptom Severity item was used to understand the overall severity of symptoms experienced and clinical meaningfulness of treatment effects experienced during this study. This item included 5 response options: no symptoms, mild, moderate, severe, and very severe.
Week 4, Week 8, Week 16
Percentage Change From Baseline in Target and MRI-measurable Non- Target Lesion Volume in Group 1 and Group 2
Time Frame: From Baseline up to approximately 5 years

Percentage change from baseline in the sum of target lesion volume, MRI-measurable non-target lesion volume and all MRI measurable (target an non-target) lesion volume as assessed by BIRC.

Target lesions are defined as anatomically reproducibly defined tissue(s) masses, which may be composed of one or several tissue types, and can be accurately measured by imaging technique MRI. Target lesion(s) (up to 3) should be identified at screening, be at least 2 cm in the longest diameter at baseline (for each selected lesion) and may be further reproducibly assessed by MRI.

MRI-measurable non-target lesions are defined as all anatomic lesions other than selected as target and may be measured at radiologic assessment (at least 2 cm in the longest diameter at baseline, the volume may be further reproducibly assessed by MRI).

From Baseline up to approximately 5 years
Proportion of Participants With Changes From Baseline in Other Non-target Lesions in Group 1 and Group 2
Time Frame: From Baseline up to approximately 5 years

Percentage change from baseline in other non-target lesions (by BIRC). Non Target lesions are defined as:

  • Anatomic lesions, limb/trunkal areas affected by PROS, organomegaly when they may be measured only by caliper/ruler (e.g., circumference of changed limb or body part)
  • Truly non-measurable lesions (e.g., small lesions less than 2 cm on MRI, superficial visual lesions, masses, organomegaly, PROS-related enlargement of anatomic area identified by physical exam that is not measurable by reproducible imaging technique)

Change From Baseline in Patient-reported Pain Assessed by Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) Worst Pain Intensity Item or Wong-Baker Faces Scale (Age Appropriate) in Pediatric and Adult Populations
Time Frame: From Baseline up to approximately 5 years
Change in scores from Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) items, or Wong-Baker Faces Scale (age appropriate). The BPI item that assesses worst pain intensity in the past 24 hours will be used to assess pain intensity for adult participants (≥18 years old) and pediatric participants (≥12 years old). Participants respond to the item on an 11-point numerical rating scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (pain as bad as you can imagine). For children under 12, the Wong-Baker Faces Scale will be used in place of the BPI worst pain intensity item. This scale is a single-item that includes drawings of 6 faces that are associated with both a numeric rating and a descriptor (ranging from 0/no hurt - 10/hurts worst)
From Baseline up to approximately 5 years
Changes From Baseline in Patient-reported Health-related Quality of Life Assessed by PROMIS-profile (Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System) in Pediatric and Adult Populations
Time Frame: From Baseline up to approximately 5 years
Change in scores from the PROMIS-profile (Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System). The PROMIS Profiles are a group of PROMIS short forms measuring different domains of health-related quality of life (physical function, fatigue, ability to participate in social/peer relationships, pain interference, pain severity, anxiety, depression and sleep disturbance). All items include 5 response options, except for the pain intensity item, which has 11 response options.
From Baseline up to approximately 5 years
Changes From Baseline in Patient-reported Overall Impression of Symptoms Assessed by Patient Global Impression of Symptom Severity (PGIS) in Pediatric and Adult Populations
Time Frame: From Baseline up to approximately 5 years
Change in PGIS item. The PGIS is a single item to assess the participant's perception in the severity of their symptoms using a 5-point verbal rating scale, from "No symptoms" to "Very Severe".
From Baseline up to approximately 5 years
Duration of Response (DOR) in Participants Who Received Alpelisib in Group 1 and Group 2
Time Frame: From first documented response until progression of PROS lesions or death, assessed up to approximately 5 years
Duration of response (DOR) is defined as the time from first documented response until progression of PROS lesions by BIRC or death.
From first documented response until progression of PROS lesions or death, assessed up to approximately 5 years
Time to Treatment Failure in Participants Who Received Alpelisib in Group 1 and Group 2
Time Frame: From Baseline up to approximately 5 years

Time from randomization/alpelisib treatment start date until the discontinuation of study treatment due to lack of efficacy (including unsatisfactory therapeutic effect, disease progression) or safety reasons (including adverse events, death).

Participants who complete the study or discontinue study treatment for other reasons (e.g. discontinuation due to Participant/Guardian decision, technical problems) will be censored at the date of last study treatment received.

From Baseline up to approximately 5 years
Overall Clinical Response Rate as Assessed by Investigator in Participants Who Received Alpelisib in Group 1 and Group 2
Time Frame: Week 16, 24, 40, 48, 72, 96 and thereafter every 48 weeks
Proportion of participants with overall clinical response reported as improvement, stable or worsening of clinical condition, as assessed by the investigator
Week 16, 24, 40, 48, 72, 96 and thereafter every 48 weeks
Proportion of Participants With Response During the Extension Period in Group 1 and Group 2
Time Frame: Week 40, 48, 72, 96, 144, 192, 240 and 264.
Response (yes/no) at scheduled protocol visit. Response is defined by achieving at least 20% reduction from baseline in the sum of target lesion volumes (1 to 3 lesions, assessed by MRI by a blinded independent review committee (BIRC)), provided that none of the individual target lesions has ≥ 20% increase from baseline and in absence of progression of non-target lesions and without new lesions.
Week 40, 48, 72, 96, 144, 192, 240 and 264.
