PI3K Inhibitor

Alpelisib for Lymphatic Malformations (EPIK-L1 Trial)

Phase 2 & 3
Recruiting
Research Sponsored by Novartis Pharmaceuticals
Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial
Must have
Participant has evidence of a somatic mutation(s) in the PIK3CA gene
Participant has a physician confirmed and documented diagnosis of a LyM at the time of informed consent
Timeline
Screening 3 weeks
Treatment Varies
Follow Up up to approximately 8 years

Summary

This trial aims to see if alpelisib can help improve symptoms and reduce the size of lymphatic malformations in people with a specific gene mutation.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for pediatric and adult patients with lymphatic malformations (LyM) that are linked to a PIK3CA gene mutation. Participants must be willing to follow the study's schedule, have a confirmed diagnosis of LyM, not be candidates for or unwilling to undergo local treatments like sclerotherapy until after 24 weeks, and have at least one measurable LyM lesion.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the effectiveness of Alpelisib compared to a placebo in treating lymphatic malformations. The focus is on observing changes in radiological response and symptom severity between the two groups.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects for this trial aren't provided here, Alpelisib can generally cause issues like high blood sugar levels, skin rash, diarrhea, fatigue, nausea and mouth sores among others.
