EVERST- Everolimus After Alpelisib in Women With Hormone Receptor-positive (HR+) Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC) (MBC)

June 9, 2026 updated by: Tel-Aviv Sourasky Medical Center

EVERST- Everolimus After Alpelisib in Women With HR+ MBC- This Phase II, Open-label, Single-arm, Study Investigates the Clinical Benefit of Everolimus Combined With Endocrine Therapy. in Hormone Receptor-positive (HR+), Metastatic Breast Cancer Patients Who Progressed on Prior PI3K Inhibitor Therapy With Endocrine Therapy. The Trial Aims to Determine if Sequential Inhibition of the PI3K/AKT/mTORC1 Pathway Retains Efficacy Post-PI3K Inhibitor Resistance, Hypothesizing That Everolimus Will Demonstrate a Response Rate Exceeding the Historical 9.5% Observed in the BOLERO2 Trial.

This phase II, open-label, single-arm, study investigates the clinical benefit of everolimus combined with endocrine therapy (ET) in hormone receptor-positive (HR+), metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients who progressed on prior PI3K inhibitor therapy (+ ET). The trial aims to determine if sequential inhibition of the PI3K/AKT/mTORC1 pathway retains efficacy post-PI3K inhibitor resistance, hypothesizing that everolimus will demonstrate a response rate exceeding the historical 9.5% observed in the BOLERO2 trial.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Detailed Description The study employs a two-stage design to evaluate the primary endpoint of clinical response rate (complete/partial response per RECIST v1.1). Stage 1 will enroll 19 patients with measurable disease; if no responses are observed, the trial terminates. If ≥1 response occurs, 24 additional patients will be enrolled (total N=43), with success defined as ≥2 responses. Secondary endpoints include progression-free survival (PFS), clinical benefit rate (CBR), and biomarker analysis via longitudinal ctDNA profiling to identify genomic drivers of resistance/sensitivity. Eligible participants receive everolimus (10 mg/day) + ET until progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal. Tumor assessments occur every 8 weeks, with toxicity monitoring.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
HR+MBC post Alpelisib
Patients with HR+MBC post Alpelisib treatment who are scheduled to receive Everolimus with endocrine therapy, an additional blood sample is collected for biomarker evaluation.
Patients receive standard of care treatment as prescribed by their treating physician. This study only observes the outcomes and does not alter the treatment regimen, dosing, or schedule."
"A supplementary blood sample is collected from participants to analyze genetic and molecular biomarkers, aiming to identify potential correlations between these markers and clinical response to the standard treatment."
