TRUQAP CAPItello-291 Clinical Trial

  • Trial design
  • Baseline characteristics
  • PFS data
  • OS data

CAPItello-291: a global, phase 3, randomized, double-blind, multicentre, placebo-controlled trial (N=708)1,5†

289 patients (40.8%) in the overall population had tumours with PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN alterations

* Day 15 is Week 3 Day 1 of Cycle 1.

Stratification factors: Liver metastases, prior CDK4/6i, and region1,4¶

Dual primary endpoints
  • Investigator assessed PFS in:
    • overall population** and
    • subgroup with PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN-altered tumours
Key secondary endpoints
  • OS
  • ORR

AI=aromatase inhibitor; BC=breast cancer; ET=endocrine therapy; HbA1c=hemoglobin A1c; IHC=immunohistochemistry; ISH=in situ hybridization; LHRH=luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone; ORR=objective response rate; OS=overall survival; PFS=progression-free survival.
† In CAPItello-291, a total of 708 patients were randomized 1:1 to receive either 400 mg of TRUQAP (n=355) or placebo (n=353) given twice daily for 4 days followed by 3 days off treatment each week of a 28-day treatment cycle. Fulvestrant 500 mg was administered on Cycle 1 Days 1 and 15 and then at Day 1 of a 28-day cycle. In total, 289 patients had tumours with eligible PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN-alterations.
‡ TRUQAP is not indicated in men.
§ Pre- or peri-menopausal women also received an LHRH agonist for the duration of the study treatment.
¶ Region 1: United States, Canada, Western Europe, Australia, and Israel; Region 2: Latin America, Eastern Europe, and Russia; Region 3: Asia.
** TRUQAP is only indicated for patients with PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN alterations.

Patients with PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN-altered tumours (n=289) represented 40.8% of the overall population.1* Among the altered patients, 76% of patients had a gene alteration in PIK3CA, 13% in AKT1 and 17% in PTEN.1

Adapted from the TRUQAP Product Monograph1
TRUQAP + fulvestrant: studied in a majority CDK4/6i-exposed population1,5*
ECOG PS=Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status; WHO=World Health Organization.
* TRUQAP is only indicated for patients with PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN alterations.

TRUQAP + fulvestrant demonstrated statistically significant improvement in PFS vs. placebo + fulvestrant*

In patients with PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN-altered tumours (n=289) (40.8% of the overall population)

Adapted from the TRUQAP Product Monograph1

Demonstrated:
50% reduction in risk of progression or death with TRUQAP + fulvestrant vs. fulvestrant HR=0.50† (95% CI: 0.38, 0.65; p<0.001‡)

Number of events (%): TRUQAP + fulvestrant 121 (78.1) vs. fulvestrant 115 (85.8)

CI=confidence interval; HR=hazard ratio; mPFS=median progression-free survival; RECIST=Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours.
* Analysis was performed by investigator assessment determined by RECIST 1.1.
† Stratified Cox proportional hazards model. A hazard ratio <1 favours capivasertib + fulvestrant.
‡ Stratified log-rank test.

Improvement in PFS observed across pre-specified subgroups

Subgroups included:

  • presence of visceral metastases,
  • prior exposure to CDK4/6 inhibitors and
  • in the non-altered tumour population which comprised patients with a confirmed non-altered tumour and those with no testing result available.1*

71% of the overall trial patients received prior CDK4/6i1

* TRUQAP is only indicated for patients with PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN alterations.

Overall survival analysis in patients with PIK3CA/AKT1/ PTEN-altered tumours (secondary endpoint)

A preliminary assessment of OS (30% maturity) at the time of the primary PFS analysis did not suggest a detrimental effect on survival of treatment with TRUQAP plus fulvestrant compared with placebo plus fulvestrant.1 The 30% maturity rate was calculated based on the 87 events in the 289 patients from the PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN-altered population.7,8

Adapted from Turner, et al.5
Tick marks indicate censored data. A 0.01% alpha penalty was assigned to the overall survival analyses of no detriment (i.e., with the HR not favouring the fulvestrant-only group); a sufficient number of deaths for a formal analysis of overall survival had not occurred by the data-cutoff date.
