Sponsor: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The purpose of this study to find out whether a very low carbohydrate diet (ketogenic diet), a low carbohydrate diet, or the study drug canagliflozin can prevent high blood sugar and may improve the effectiveness of cancer therapy in people who are receiving standard treatment with alpelisib and fulvestrant for their metastatic PIK3CA-mutant breast cancer.

Interventions

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Ketogenic Diet

Properly formulated meals will be provided to both diet groups for the first 12 weeks to facilitate compliance in women with metastatic breast cancer prescribed alpelisib. After 12 weeks, subjects on the two dietary arms will be given the option to cross-over to the other diet arm and continue the prescribed dietary formulation. The decision to cross over will be per patient preference.

DRUG

Alpelisib

The recommended dose of PIQRAY is 300 mg (two 150 mg film-coated tablets) taken orally, once daily, with food. Patients should take their dose of PIQRAY at approximately the same time each day.

DRUG

Fulvestrant

The recommended dose is 500 mg to be administered intramuscularly into the buttocks slowly (1 - 2 minutes per injection) as two 5 mL injections, one in each buttock, on days 1, 15, 29 and once monthly thereafter.

DRUG

Canagliflozin

Canagliflozin is an inhibitor of SGLT2, the transporter responsible for reabsorbing the majority of glucose filtered by the kidney. For the first week of canagliflozin dosing, the dose will be 100 mg. Starting week 2 and onward the dose will be 300 mg and supplied by the site.
